Preferences: Global Setup
In this page you can set various general parameters for the Style
Play mode.
Note: These settings are stored in the Style Play Setup area of the
Global file (together with all the other parameters marked with the
abbreviation through the manual). After changing these
Sty
settings, select the Write Global-Song Play Setup command from
the page menu to save them to the Global.
Midi Setup
MIDI channels for the Style Play mode can be automatically
configured by selecting a MIDI Setup with this parameter. See
"MIDI" on page 280 for more information on using MIDI Set-
ups.
Note: To automatically select a MIDI Setup when entering the
Style Play mode, select the Write Global-Style Setup command
from the page menu.
For detailed information on MIDI Setup settings, see "MIDI
Setup" on page 328.
Note: After selecting a MIDI Setup, you can go to the Global mode
and apply any change to each channel setting. To store these
changes to a MIDI Setup, while still in Global mode select the Write
Global-Midi Setup command from the page menu. All MIDI Setup
can be freely customized and overwritten.
Hint: To restore the original MIDI Setups, load the original Fac-
tory data again (downloadable from www.korgpa.com).

the control panel. Use this parameter to define whether the PER-
FORMANCE SELECT or the SOUND SELECT LED must be on
when you turn the instrument on.
Style Change On By Default
Gbl
This parameter allows you to define the status of the STYLE
CHANGE button at startup.
On At startup, the LED of the STYLE CHANGE but-
ton will automatically turn on.
Off At startup, the LED of the STYLE CHANGE but-
ton will stay off.
Velocity Control Value
Use this parameter to set a velocity value over which to automat-
ically trigger the Style Start/Stop or select a Style Element (see
"Velocity Control" above).
Upper Volume Link
This parameter allows you to define if changing the volume for
one of the Upper tracks, proportionally changes also the other
Upper tracks.
On When changing volume to one of the Upper
tracks, volume for the other Upper tracks
changes in proportion.
Off When changing volume to one of the Upper
tracks, only that track's volume is changed. Other
Upper tracks are left unchanged.
Bass & Lower Backing
When the SPLIT Keyboard Mode is selected, and the Style is not
running, this function lets you play a simple accompaniment
with your left hand.
On If the Style is not playing, and you play chords
with your left hand, the Sound assigned to the
Lower track plays chord notes (even if the Lower
Sty
track is muted), and a Bass sound plays the chord
root. When you start the Style, the normal behav-
ior is restored.
When the Bass&Lower Backing function is active,
the Play/Mute status icon of the Lower track is
framed in yellow (see "Keyboard track status" on
page 80).
Off If the Style is not playing, and the Lower track is
muted, no sound can be heard when you play
with your left hand. If the Lower track is set to
play, you can hear the sound assigned to the
Lower track.
