110 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 128).
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 84).
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.
NTT (Note Transposition Table)
The Note Transposition Table (NTT) determines how the
arranger will transpose pattern notes, when a chord is recog-
nized that does not exactly match the original chord of a Chord
Variation. For example, if you only recorded a Chord Variation
for the CMaj chord, when a CMaj7 is recognized on the key-
board the arranger must transpose some notes to create the
missing 7th.
Note: To conform to Korg specifications, it is advisable to set the
NTT to "No Transpose" on the Intro 1 and Ending 1.
Root The root note (in CMaj = C) is transposed to the
missing notes.
Fifth The 5th note (in CMaj = G) is transposed to the
missing notes.
i-Series All original patterns must be programmed on the
"Maj7" or "min7" chords. When loading old
Korg i-Series Styles, this option is automatically
selected.
NoTrnsp No transposition applied. The pattern will always
play as recorded. This is the standard setting of
Intro 1 and Ending 1 in Korg's original Styles.
