Effects: Fx Select - Korg PA1X User Manual

Scale lock icon
When locked, Scale parameters remain unchanged when select-
ing a different Performance or STS.
This lock is reset when turning the instrument off, unless you
write Global settings to memory (see "Write Global - Global
Setup dialog box" on page 257).
For more information on parameter locks, see "General Con-
trols: Lock" on page 232.
How to fine tune each note of the User
scale
When the User scale is selected, the keyboard diagram becomes
active. You can then change each note tuning in cents of a semi-
tone (within a range of ±99 cents, referred to Equal tuning). This
way, you can create a custom scale, you can save to a Perfor-
mance or STS.
Fine tuning values
After selecting the User scale, touch a note in the keyboard dia-
gram, and use TEMPO/VALUE controls to adjust the selected
note tuning in cents.
How to use the Quarter Tone function with
a footswitch, EC5 switch or Assignable
Switch
The Quarter Tone function allows you to program a custom
scale in realtime, for example those sudden scale change typical
of Arabic music. Changes are not saved anywhere, so the scale is
easily "wiped-out" when selecting a different Performance or
STS, or when pressing the Quarter Tone pedal again.
Note: You can create a custom scale, to be assigned to a Perfor-
mance or STS, simply by selecting and editing a User scale, and
saving any change to a Performance or STS. See "Scale" above.
You can assign the "Quarter Tone" function to a footswitch, a
Korg EC5 switch, or an Assignable Switch.
1. Program a footswitch, one of the EC5 pedals, or an Assign-
able Switch, to be the Quarter Tone switch.
Simply go to the Global mode, and reach the "Controllers:
Pedal/Switch" or "Controllers: EC5" page. There, you will
find the "Pedal/Footswitch" and "EC5-A...E" parameters,
to which you can assign the Quarter Tone function.
While still in Global mode, select the Write Global-Global
Setup command from the page menu, to save these settings
to the Global (see "Write Global - Global Setup dialog box"
on page 257).
2. Lower some note pitches.
Keep the Quarter Tone pedal pressed. The keyboard will
not play at this time. Press the notes you want to lower a
quarter tone. Release the pedal.
3. Play with your new scale.
Style Play operating mode
Notes you pressed on step 2 are now lowered of a quarter
Gbl
tone.
4. Reset the original scale.
Press and release the Quarter Tone pedal again, without
playing any note. All pitches will be reset, and the scale
selected by the Performance, STS will be recalled.
