Playing In Realtime (Without Using Automatic Accompaniment) - Korg micro arranger Quick Start Manual

7 Stop it!
OK, you could say: "Oh, that's easy, I know how to do it, I can
just press that big red START/STOP button again".
Yes, you are perfectly right. But that's the easy way. Let us
suggest a more colorful way:
PRESS ENDING1 OR ENDING2
An ending is instantaneously called, and will begin playing,
to lead the Style to a colorful end. As usual, ENDING1 is pre‐
programmed, while ENDING2 asks for your chord progres‐
sion.
In Sync
"What if I want to avoid all that START/STOP stuff? I mean, I pre‐
fer to have my hands free for playing music!"
Good point. The SYNCHRO button is there right for this pur‐
pose.
1 While the Style is stopped, press the SYN-
CHRO button.
The SYNCHRO‐START LED begins blinking. The Synchro
Start function is enabled.
2 Play a chord on the keyboard.
You must play a chord for the chord recognition engine. Usu‐
ally, it will be to the left of the split point, but it depends on
the CHORD SCANNING section (see "CHORD SCANNING
section" on page 7).
The Style starts.
3 Stop the Style using your chosen method.

PLAYING IN REALTIME
(Without using Automatic Accompaniment)
As soon as you turn your microARRANGER on, it is in Style
Play mode, and you can play it in realtime. Please follow
me...
1 Play on the keyboard.
When you turn the microARRANGER on, Performance 1‐1 is
automatically selected.
This sets the Realtime (Keyboard) tracks for you. In this case
you get the Upper 1 track playing on the full keyboard range,
with the Grand Piano Program selected.
As you may know, there are four available Realtime tracks:
Upper 1–3 and Lower. Upper Realtime tracks may play on
the full range of the keyboard (the selected KEYBOARD
MODE shall be FULL UPPER). Otherwise, the Lower track
plays on the left of the Split Point, and the Upper tracks on
the right (KEYBOARD MODE shall be SPLIT).
If you are not satisfied with this setting at startup, you can
simply select another Performance. Or change the track's set‐
tings—as you will see in this tutorial—and save them into
Performance 1‐1. You'll soon see how to do it.
2 Select a different Performance.
Is the PERFORM. LED on?
If so, press one of the PROGRAM/PERFORMANCE buttons,
and select a Performance with the VOLUME/VALUE buttons
(on the side of the display).
Select a Performance with the VOLUME/VALUE buttons
Go ahead and try out the different Performances. We pro‐
vided 160 of them for you.
3 Select Performance 1-1 ("Grand Piano") again.
As above: press Performance bank 1, and use the A VOL‐
UME/VALUE buttons to select Performance 1‐1.
