Mixer/Tuning: Tuning; Effects: Fx Select - Korg Pa588 User Manual

Reset All Tracks button
Press this button to reset (i.e., "flatten") equalization for all
tracks.
Bypass
Check any of these checkboxes to bypass equalization for the
corresponding track. When bypassed, equalization has no effect
on the track, but all parameters are preserved. When the box is
unchecked, equalization is activated again with the original set-
tings.
Input Trim
This knob allows you to limit the level of the signal passing
through the equalizer. Extreme equalization values can overload
the audio circuits and lead to distorsion. This control lets you set
equalization as desired, and at the same time avoid overloading.
Play/Mute icon
Track's play/mute status. See "Keyboard track status" on
page 150 for more information.

only intended for realtime use.

Effects: FX Select

This page allows you to select effects to be assigned to the four
Internal FX processors (A-D).
Note: When you stop the Song, or select a different Song, the
default effects are selected again. You can, however, stop the Song,
change the effects, then start the Song again with the new effects.
Edit the Song in Sequencer mode to permanently change the effects.
Song Play operating mode
Note: The default effect settings can be memorized in the Global-
Song Play Setup, by choosing the "Write Global-Song Play Setup"
command from the page menu (see page 164).
FX A...D
Effects assigned to the corresponding effect processors. Usually,
A and C are reverbs, while B and D are modulating effects (cho-
rus, flanger, delay...). For a list of the available effects, see the
"Advanced Edit" addendum in the Accessory CD.
FX Amount
Volume of the effect, that is added to the dry (uneffected) signal.
B to A, D to C
Amount of the B effect going back to the input of the A effect, or
of the D effect going back to the input of the C effect.

Mod.Track (Modulating Track)
Source track for modulating MIDI messages. You can modulate
an effect parameter with a MIDI message generated by a physical
controller or a Song track.
Effects in Song Play mode
Pa588 is equipped with four effect processors, or DSPs (Digital
Signal Processors), to process MIDI tracks. In Song Play mode
you can have two or four effects at the same time, depending on
the midifile you are reading.
Effects A and B are usually reserved to both sequencers and Pads,
while effects C and D are usually reserved to Keyboard tracks.
Depending on the status of the "Seq.2 FX Mode" parameter,
each effect pair could be reserved to a different Sequencer (see
page 164).
You can also create Songs that make use of all four effects in
Sequencer mode.
• A Song created on the Pa588 (in Sequencer mode) can use
up to 4 effects (usually 2 reverbs + 2 modulating effects);
each track may use the A/B or C/D pair.
• A Standard MIDI File or Karaoke™ file will only use 2
effects (usually 1 reverb + 1 modulating effect). This lets
you use the remaining 2 effects for the Realtime tracks.
• When using both sequencers at the same time, and the
"Seq.2 FX Mode" is set to "AB" mode (see page 164), they
only use the A/B pair, while the C/D pair is reserved to the
Keyboard tracks.
• When using both sequencers at the same time, and the
"Seq.2 FX Mode" is set to "CD" mode (see page 164),
Sequencer 1 uses the A/B pair, while Sequencer 2 uses the
C/D pair, sharing it with Keyboard tracks.
