Metro (Metronome)
This is the metronome heard during recording.
Off No metronome click will be heard during
recording. 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.
Resol (Resolution)
This parameter sets the quantization during recording.
(1/32)… (1/8)
Grid resolution, in musical values. For
example, when you select 1/16, all notes
are moved to the nearest 1/16 division.
When you select 1/8, all notes are moved
to the nearest 1/8 division.
Meter
This is the meter (time signature) of the Style. You can
edit this parameter only when the Style is empty, i.e.
before you begin recording anything.
Original Key/Chord
This is the track’s original key and chord. Use the D
VOLUME/VALUE buttons to select the line, and the F ‐
1 and F ‐ 2 buttons to switch from the key/chord name
and the key/chord type (Maj, min…).
When in Style Play mode, this chord will be played back
exactly as it was recorded, without any NTT processing
(see below). To record just one Chord Variation for a
Style Element, the suggested original key/chord is
“maj7”. 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 conversion 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 activated. 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 tracks all the remaining
tracks will play according to the A7th key/chord.
In the above example, you will record the Acc1 track in
the AMajor key, with notes that will comply with the
A7th chord. This is the pattern that will be recalled
exactly as it was recorded, when playing an A7th chord.
Copying the Key/Chord value to all other tracks of the
same Chord Variation. While in this page, you can keep
the SHIFT button pressed, while pressing one of the [D]
VOLUME/ VALUE buttons, to copy the Key of the cur ‐
rently selected track to all other tracks of the same
Chord Variation. This function is useful to speed ‐ up pat ‐
tern programming, and to avoid having different tracks
in different keys within the same Chord Variation.
NTT
The Note Transposition Table (NTT) determines how
the arranger will transpose pattern notes, when play ‐
ing a chord that does not exactly match to 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 keyboard 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.
5th 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 instruments, this
option is automatically selected.
No Transp No transposition applied. The pattern will
always play as recorded. This is the stan ‐
dard setting of Intro 1 and Ending 1 in
Korg’s original Styles.
