through all the DEMO songs in order. You can also select each DEMO song individually

Press the STYLE PLAY and SONG PLAY mode buttons together. The PA-80 is now in the DEMO

mode, and Song 1 is playing.

To skip to a different DEMO, use the EDIT KEYS surrounding the DISPLAY to highlight the

There are over 600 PROGRAMS, or sounds, resident in the PA-80. Each one is crafted from the same

sound engine (Hyper Integrated) as KORG's popular TRITON synthesizer. The PROGRAMS (sounds) are

grouped together in BANKs; Woodwind, Guitar, Piano, etc...

Select the PROGRAM MODE to the left side of the PA-80.

Select any of the PROGRAM BANKs. A list of available PROGRAMS will appear in the display.

Use the PAGE+ and PAGE- buttons to scroll through all the different PROGRAMS in that bank.

(A bank may contain over 8 pages, so there are plenty to choose from!)

that PROGRAM's name.

After you have selected the sound you want, press the PROGRAM mode button.

Editing and Saving Programs (sounds)

Sounds can be edited and saved into any of the 128 USER PROGRAM locations. You can also create new

Editing:

Press the MENU button. A list of parameter groups will appear in the display.

Using the PAGE + and PAGE – buttons, scroll through all 21 pages of Program Parameters.

Many of the pages contain more parameters than can be displayed at one time. If the

parameter list exceeds the display, an ↑ or ↓ will appear in the display. Use the UPPER1/ACC2

edit key to move up thru the list. The LOWER1/ACC5 edit keys move down thru the list.

To select an individual parameter, highlight it by pressing the edit key adjacent to the
