Step Recording - Korg M50-88 Parameter Manual

*b Correction is necessary only if the tracks operated by a
single arpeggiator are using only "MIDI Channel" 01. In
some cases, correction may also be necessary if the two
arpeggiators use the same MIDI channel.
Depending on the combination settings, it may also be
necessary to change the track settings as well.
The preceding illustration shows the example of copying the
combination C015: "Skippy Wants to Dance!" with Auto
adjust Arp setting for Multi REC un-checked in Copy From
Combi. Select a new song, and execute the copy to see the
result. (For more about the arpeggiator settings in this
combination, see page 110)
Using these settings as an example, determine whether
correction is necessary, and if so, what needs to be corrected.
Arpeggiator Run A and B are checked, and MIDI Channel
01 and 02 are selected. Correction is necessary for one of the
arpeggiators. If you perform multi-track recording with
these settings, the MIDI channels of T01, 02, 03, and 04 are
the same, so the high-register bass (T03 and T04), the low-
register synth strings/pad (T01 and T02), and the synth pad
played by arpeggiator B (T05) will have their performance
data combined into one stream, and the performance will
not be reproduced at playback. (T08 is a dummy track used
to trigger arpeggiator A.)
1. So that the bass played by arpeggiator A can be
recorded separately, change the MIDI channel of T03.
Select the SEQ P3: Track Param– MIDI T01–08 page, and
change the T03 MIDI Channel to 03.
2. Add settings for triggering arpeggiator A.
Select the SEQ P3: Track Param– MIDI T09–16 page, and for
track 9 (or any unused track), turn "Status" Off, and set the
MIDI Channel to 01. (T09 will be a dummy track used to
trigger arpeggiator A.)
3. Select the SEQ P7: ARP/DT– ARP Setup T09–16 page.
Set the track 9 Assign to A.
This will produce the following settings.
Track T01 T02 T03 T04
Assign Off Off A
Status INT INT INT
MIDI Ch. 01 01 03
This completes the corrections. In the Sequencer P0: Play/
REC– Preference page, set "Track Select" to any track whose
MIDI channel is 01. Check the "Multi REC" check box and
perform multi-track recording.
Copy from Program
This command copies settings from the program you specify
to the currently selected song.
This is the same function as in Combination mode; for
details, please see "Copy from Program" on page 120.
This command in Sequencer mode differs from its behavior
in Combination mode in that the channels assigned to the
tracks of the song will be preserved regardless of the with
Arp setting of the copy-destination track's MIDI Channel.
(See step 4.)

Copy Drum Track
This command copies the drum track settings of the
specified Program, Combination, or Song.
For more information, please see "Copy Drum Track" on
page 74.
Erase Drum Track Pattern
This erases the drum track pattern you specify.
For more information, please see "Erase Drum Track

Copy Chord Trigger Setup
For more information, please see "Copy Chord Trigger
Setup" on page 75.
Detune BPM Adjust
When the program selected for a track uses a phrase, or
rhythm loop multisample, you can use this command to
change the BPM of the phrase or rhythm. The BPM can be
adjusted by modifying the pitch. This command is available
when the Detune setting of that track is selected. When you
execute this command, the selected Detune value will be
adjusted.
For more information, please see "Detune BPM Adjust" on
page 122.
Copy Arpeggiator
This command can be used to copy arpeggio settings from
another location to the current program.
For more information, please see "Copy Arpeggiator" on
page 75.

Step Recording

Step recording allows you to specify the length and velocity
of each note numerically, and to input the pitches from the
keyboard. You can use the Rest button and Tie button to
input a rest or tie.
If you use step recording to input data into a track that
already contains sequence data, all data will be erased
from the From Measure and subsequent measures. If
after inputting, you decide to revert to the prior data,
use the Compare function.
To input data with a continuously-changing value such as
pitch bend, it is best to use Create Control Data. To input
individual data events such as program changes, use Event
Edit.
1. Use Track Select to select the track into which you wish
to input data, and use From Measure (Seq 6–1c) to spec-
ify the measure at which you wish to begin input.
2. Select "Step Recording" to open the dialog box.
