Style Record mode
Main page - Record 1
Length parameter to "2" before starting recording the Drum
track. When playing back the Style, saving it or executing any
edit operation on the Style, the 2-measures pattern will be
extended to the full 8-measures length of the Chord Variation.
Warning: If you assign CV Length a value lower than Rec
Length, the value of Rec Length is not immediately updated in
the display. Therefore, you are still free of changing the value of
CV Length, before the measures exceeding its value are deleted
(see warning in "CV Length (Chord Variation Length)" below).
However, if you press START/STOP to begin recording, the real
Rec Length value is changed to the new one, even if the display
still shows the old value.
For example, you may have CV Length = 4 and Rec Length = 4.
If you set CV Length to 2, and press START/STOP to begin
recording, Rec Length is still shown as 4, but it is in reality set to
2, and recording will cycle for just 2 measures. After you press
START/STOP to stop recording, Rec Length is updated to 2, and
all measures after the second measure are deleted.
CV Length (Chord Variation Length)
This parameter sets the total length (up to 32 measures) for the
selected Chord Variation. When playing a Style, this will be the
length of the accompaniment pattern, when the chord corre-
sponding to the Chord Variation is recognized on the keyboard.
Warning: If you reduce the Chord Variation Length after
recording, any measure after the selected length will be deleted.
Be very careful when setting the CV Length to a lower value
after recording! If it happens, we suggest to exit from record
without saving (see "Exit from Record" on page 141).
Metro (Metronome)
This is where you can set the metronome.
Off
No metronome click will be heard during record-
ing. In any case, a one-bar precount will be
played before starting recording.
On1
Metronome on, with a one-bar precount before
starting recording.
On2
Metronome on, with a two-bar precount before
starting recording.
Tempo
Select this parameter to use TEMPO/VALUE controls to set the
tempo.
Hint: You can always change the Tempo, when other parameters
are selected, by keeping the SHIFT button pressed, and rotating the
DIAL.
Note: When recording tempo, old data is always replaced by the
new data.
Note: The actual tempo of the Style will be the one shown when
saving the Style Performance in Style Play mode (see "Current
tempo" on page 88).
Meter
This is the meter (time signature) of the Style Element. You can
edit this parameter only when the Style Element is empty, i.e.
before you begin recording anything.
Selected track info area
This line lets you see the Sound assigned to the selected track.
Track name
Sound name
Track name
Name of the selected track.
Drum...Acc5 Style track.
Sound name
Sound assigned to the selected track. The triangle means you can
touch the name to open the Sound Select window, and select a
different Sound.
Sound bank
Bank the selected Sound belongs to.
Program Change
Program Change number sequence (Bank Select MSB, Bank
Select LSB, Program Change).
Key/Chord area
Key/Chord
This parameter pair allows you to define the track's original key
and chord type, for the current Chord Variation. When in Style
Play mode, this chord will be played back exactly as it was
recorded, without any NTT processing (see above).
To record just one Chord Variation for a Style Element, the sug-
gested original key/chord is "maj7" (with NTT = i-Series). Be
very careful to play the 7th+ note (i.e., with a "Cmaj7th" key/
chord, the B), to avoid the lack of notes, or a bad NTT conver-
sion when playing different chords.
Note: To conform to Korg specifications, it is advisable to record
both the "Major" and "minor" Chord Variations for the Intro 1
and Ending 1 Style Elements.
When you select a track, the original key/chord assigned to the
selected track will be shown. All recorded tracks will play back
on that key/chord. For example, if the original key/chord for the
Acc1 track is A7th, when selecting the Acc1 track all the remain-
ing tracks will play on the A7th key/chord.
In the example above, you will record the Acc1 track in the AMa-
jor key, with notes pertaining to the A7th scale. This exact pat-
tern will be recalled, when an A7th chord will be recognized.
Note: This does not apply to Guitar Mode, relying on a different
rule. See "Main page - Guitar Mode" on page 121 for more infoma-
tion.
