General Controls: Clock & Battery; Auto Select - Korg Pa3X 76-keys User Manual

Track Activity
Show
Use this parameter to turn on/off the Track Activity display.
When it is turned on, you can monitor events coming from the
tracks or the MIDI inputs. Incoming events are shown by the
changing color of each track's label.
Here is the list of colors and their meaning:
Green Internal data, generated by the keyboard, pads,
the Arranger or one of the Players.
Red Data coming from the MIDI IN ports (MIDI or
USB).
Orange Either internally or externally generated data (or
both at the same time).
Dark Grey No data received.
Display Hold
On/Off
When this parameter is checked, if you open a temporary win-
dows (like the Sound Select window), it remains in the display
until you press EXIT or an operating mode button. When it is
not checked, any temporary window closes after a certain time.

Auto Select

Style
Performance
When one of these parameters is checked, the latest selected
Style or Performance selected in a bank is immediately selected
when pressing the STYLE or PERFORMANCE button corre-
sponding to the bank.
This way, you can assign your preferred Style or Performance to
each control panel's button, and select it just with a single press.
However, the Style/Performance Select window still appears
when you press one of the STYLE or PERFORMANCE button
corresponding to the bank, so you can select a different item if
desired.
Note: Unless you save your settings by means of the "Write Global-
Auto Select Setup" page menu command, the memorized Style or
Performance is reset to the first one in each bank, when turning the
instrument off and then on again.
Hint: You can save your preferred Performances into the first loca-
tion of each bank. This way, by turning on this parameter, you will
select your preferred Performance at the touch of a single button.
Also note that, by turning the "Factory Style and Pad Protect"
parameter off, you can do the same with the Styles.

Date & Time
The Pa3X includes a battery-backed system calendar and clock.
This allows for automatically adding a time-stamp to the files,
when they are created or edited.
Note: When you edit a resource file (Sounds, Styles...), all items in
the same bank have their modification date changed. For example,
if you edit a single Style in the "Pop" bank, all Styles in that bank
will take the new modification date.

Battery
When the instrument is turned off or in standby, all PCM Sam-
ples are preserved in the internal memory. They are lost when
the internal battery is discharged (after a few days with the
POWER switch off or disconnected from the power line).
After turning the instrument on the first time, all Factory and
User PCM Samples are loaded from the internal storage memory
to the Sample RAM memory.
When the instrument is turned off or set to standby mode, this
memory is preserved from deletion by an internal battery, that is
charged while the Pa3X is in standby mode and connected to a
power socket. When turning the instrument on again, loading of
all PCM Samples is much faster than loading from disk.
The content of the Sample RAM memory is lost when the Pa3X
is not connected to a power socket for a few days, and the battery
Global edit mode
