Editing A Combination; A Suggested Approach For Editing - Korg microSTATION Operation Manual

Playing and editing combinations

Editing a combination

You can create an original combination either by
editing a preload combination or by editing an
initialized combination. You can then save (write) the
edited combination.
Note: If a combination uses a program that was being
edited in Program mode, that program will use the
edited sound.
Summary of the edit pages

A suggested approach for
editing
First, select a Program for each Timbre. (Note that you
don't have to use all 16 Timbres!)
Next, create any desired keyboard or velocity splits,
layers, or crossfades between the different Timbres.
After this, adjust the volumes of the Timbres, and set
up any other Timbre parameters as desired.
To add finishing touches to the sound, set up the
Insert, Master, and Total Effect as desired. These effects
can be different from those associated with the
individual Programs in Program mode, if desired.
In addition, you can make arpeggiator and controller
settings to create the finished Combination.
Note: You can use a command to copy a program's
effect and arpeggiator settings (PG p. 27
"Command").
