The Pads; Adjusting Balance Between The Style And The Keyboard - Korg pa 500 User Manual

The Pads

When the STYLE CHANGE LED is turned on, each Style can assign different sounds or patterns to
the four PADS. These sounds or patterns can be played along with the Keyboard and Style tracks.
1
Press one of the four PADS.
2
If the selected PAD triggers an endless sound or pattern (i.e. an applause,
or a guitar arpeggio), pressing STOP will stop that sound.
3
Select a different Style, and see how the sounds or patterns assigned to
the PADS change.
You can even press more Pads at once, and play two or more sounds or patterns at the same
time. Pressing STOP stops them all at the same time. Keeping STOP pressed and pressing one of
the PAD buttons only stops that sound or pattern.

Adjusting balance between the Style and the keyboard

Balancing between the Keyboard and Style tracks may be useful, to gently fade them and adjust their
respective volume.
• While the Style is playing, use the BALANCE slider (next to the MASTER
VOLUME slider) to balance between the Keyboard and Style volume.
