Going deeper into the Style structure, we can see that
each Chord Variation is made up of Track Sequences,
and the Liverpool supports 8 different tracks. DRUM
and PERC are used for drum and percussion
sequences, BASS for bass and ACC1–5 are for accom-
paniment sequences (string, guitar, piano or other
accompaniment instruments).
Just to summarize, when you play a chord on the chord
recognition area, the arranger determines which Style
Element is used, then determines which Chord Varia-
tion should be used for the played chord, then Style
sequences for every track of that Chord Variation are
transposed from the original chord to the recognized
chord using the NTT, and so on every time you play a
chord.
Note: The Break and the Count In are not Style Elements,
and cannot be programmed by the user. While in record/edit,
the BREAK/COUNT IN button does not work.
What to record
Recording a Style is a matter of recording tracks, inside
a series of Chord Variations, inside a series of Style Ele-
ments, inside the Style itself.
You don't need to record all Chord Variations for all
Style Elements. It is often only necessary to record just
a Chord Variation for each Style Element. Exceptions
are the Intro 1 and Ending 1, where we suggest to
record both a Major and minor Chord Variations.
STYLE IMPORT/EXPORT
You can use Korg's Style To Midi application to
exchange Styles between your computer and the Liver-
pool, through the Standard MIDI File (SMF) format.
The application is freely downloadable from
www.korgpa.com/. Please read the included instruc-
tions.
ENTERING THE RECORD MODE
While in the Style Play operating mode, press RECORD.
Note: LIVERPOOL STYLES cannot be edited.
The following page will appear in the display:
•
Select Current Style to edit the current Style. If it is
a Factory Style, you will not be able to save it on
the original location; you will select a User Style
instead.
When editing an existing Style, the original Style
Performance is recalled, but the following parame-
ters are reset to their default values: Drum Map-
ping (0), Snare & Kick Designation (Off), Program
(Original), Keyboard Range (Original). This means
that you can hear some differences between the
Style in play and the same Style being edited; for
example, resetting the Drum Mapping may lead to
some instrument's replacement.
After editing the Style, please save it (see "Exit and
Save/Abort Style" below). Then, edit the Style Per-
formance to adjust the track's settings (Tempo, Vol-
ume, Pan, FX Send... see page 43 and following in
the "Style Play operating mode" chapter) and save
it by pressing the WRITE button.
•
Select New Style to start from a new, empty Style.
A default Style Performance will be recalled. When
finished recording, you will save the new Style
onto a User Style location.
After recording the Style, please save it (see "Exit
and Save/Abort Style" below). Then, edit the Style
Performance to adjust the track's settings (Tempo,
Volume, Pan, FX Send... see page 43 and following
in the "Style Play operating mode" chapter) and
save it by pressing the WRITE button.
Note: After a record or edit operation, the Style is
rewritten in memory. When you press START/STOP
there is a delay before you can actually listen to the
Style. This delay is higher with a Style containing
more MIDI events.
Note: While in Record mode, all footswitches are dis-
abled.
