Style Play operating mode
The Style Play mode is the boot-up operating mode. When in
this mode, you can play with Styles (i.e. automatic accompani-
ments), while playing with one to four tracks (Upper 1-3 and
Lower) on the keyboard. You can select different Sounds and
Effects by selecting Performances and STSs. A different Voice
Processor Preset may be selected by a Performance or STS. You
can also use the SongBook to automatically select Styles for a
desired music genre.
Style Play mode can also be used in Easy Mode (see page 6).
Start-up settings
Since Performance 1 of Bank 1 (Performance 1-1) is automati-
cally selected when turning the instrument on, you can save to it
your preferred start-up settings.
Select the Sounds, Effects, Voice Processor Preset, and other set-
tings you would like to see automatically selected when turning
the instrument on. Then select the "Write Performance" com-
mand from the page menu. When the Write Performance win-
dow appears, save the settings to Performance 1 of Bank 1. (See
"Write Performance dialog box" on page 104).
Note: If you like some settings to be preserved even when choosing
different Performances, STSs and Styles, turn on the desired "locks"
to avoid changes to the selected parameters (see "General Controls:
Lock" on page 199). Save these locks to the Global (see "Write Glo-
bal - Global Setup dialog box" on page 210).
How Styles, Performances and STSs are
linked together
Styles, Performances and STSs are linked in many ways.
• When the SINGLE TOUCH LED is steadily on or blinking,
selecting a Style also changes Keyboard tracks (STS 1 is automat-
ically selected). Performance settings are overridden.
• When the STYLE CHANGE LED is on, selecting a Performance
also selects a Style (the one whose number is memorized with
the Performance).
• Current track settings can be saved either in a Performance, an
STS, or a Style Performance, depending on the page menu com-
mand you select.

Master transpose
Master transpose value in semitones. This value can be changed
using the TRANSPOSE buttons on the control panel.
Note: Transpose may be automatically changed when selecting a
different Performance or Style. It may also be changed when load-
ing a Standard MIDI File generated with an instrument of the Korg
Pa series.
To avoid transposing, the Master Transpose is "locked" by default.
If you want to lock or unlock it, change the Master Transpose Lock
parameter's status (see "General Controls: Lock" on page 199),
then write the Global to memory (see "Write Global - Global Setup
dialog box" on page 210).
