This line shows the current operating mode, transposition and
recognized chord.
Operating mode Master Transpose (in
name semitones)
Operating mode name
Name of the current operating mode.
Master Transpose
Master Transpose value in semitones. This value can be changed
using the TRANSPOSE buttons on the control panel.
Note: You can also transpose MP3 files. Keep in mind, however,
that transposition always remains inside the range -5...+6 semi-
tones. This range is enough to cover all keys, but allows to avoid
excessive audio degradation. Any further transposing will be
reversed to fit the range. So, you might see a +7 transpose value
(Just Fifth Up) shown in the display, but the MP3 will actually play
5 semitones lower (Just Fourth Down).
Note: Transpose may be automatically changed when selecting a
different Performance. It may also be changed when loading a
Standard MIDI File generated with an instrument of the Korg Pa
series.
To avoid transposing, "lock" the Master Transpose parameter in
the Global (see "General Controls: Lock" on page 204), then write
the Global to memory (see "Write Global - Global Setup dialog
box" on page 220).
Recognized chord
Displays the recognized chord, when you play a chord on the
keyboard. If no chord abbreviation is shown, no chord recogni-
tion mode has been selected by using the CHORD SCANNING
buttons (see page 17).
