Playing The Poetry; Playing A Single Sound (Single Mode) - Korg Poetry Owner's Manual

Changing the tempo
1. Press the DISPLAY button, and then, after the TEM-
PO LED is lit, press the + or – button to change the
tempo.
With Piano Songs, the tempo is displayed as a percent-
age of the original tempo. The setting range is –50% to
+50% of the original.
The setting continues to change while the button is held
down.
To restore the tempo to the original setting, simultane-
ously press the + and – buttons.
Each song is saved with its own tempo, so selecting a
different song will automatically change the tempo to
the one saved with that song, even if the tempo was
changed for the previous song. In addition, the original
tempo will be restored when the Poetry is turned off.
Practicing one hand at a time (left-hand/right-hand sepa-
ration function)
With some Piano Songs, the left hand is usually assigned
to Part 1 and the right hand to Part 2. By muting one of
the parts, the Poetry will play only one of the parts—or
hands—and you can play the muted part. The part you play
is up to you. This function is available with Piano Songs 1
through 23.
1. To mute the left-hand part, press the PART1 button;
the button blinks in green. To mute the right-hand
part, press the PART2 button; the button blinks in
green.
2. Play along with the playback of the song.
3. To unmute a part that has been muted, press the but-
ton that is blinking.
The button lights up in green.
The muting level can be adjusted. Refer to "Functions for
Piano Song Mode" on page 16.

Playing the Poetry

Playing a single sound (Single Mode)

You can select a sound from the thirty sounds supplied
with the instrument (10 sounds x 3 banks).
1. Press the sound button for the sound that you want
to play.
The selected button will light up.
2. Press the BANK button to select one of the three
sounds.
Each press of the BANK button switches the bank
in the order 1, 2, 3, 1, ..., and the corresponding
LED to the right of the BANK button will light up.
For example, to select the Clav sound, press the HARP-
SI/CLAV button, after which its button lights up. Then,
press the BANK button twice to select bank 3 (Clav); the
LED below and to the right of the BANK button will
light up.
In addition, the bank selected for a sound button remains
the same, even if a different sound button is pressed.
Each time the Poetry is turned on, the sound in bank 1
is selected for all sound buttons.
Playing the Poetry while using a single sound such as an
acoustic piano is referred to as the Single Mode. The Poetry
can also be played in Layer Mode or Partner Mode, which
are characteristic of digital pianos.
For details on the various modes, refer to "Performance
Modes" on page 13.
