Korg NAUTILUS Series, Parameter Manual, Page: 294 / 961

EXi: PolysixEX
284
Unsupported EXi Common parameters
The PolysixEX supports all of the EXi Common parameters,
except for two of the voice allocation options:
Poly Legato
and Mono Mode (Normal/Use Legato Offset).
All of the other voice allocation options are fully supported,
including Mono, Mono Legato, Unison, etc.
On-screen knobs and switches and the Parameter Details area
Parameter Details
The LCD displays include graphic knobs and switches for all
of the main PolysixEX parameters. These let you view and
edit parameters quickly and easily. Almost all of the original
Polysix parameters fit onto a single NAUTILUS page.
You can program any original Polysix sound using only
these knobs and switches. If you want more flexibility and
control, however, the PolysixEX offers two additional EGs
and LFOs, four AMS mixers, access to the EXi Program’s
Common LFO, Common Step Sequencer, and
Vector
features, and AMS modulation for almost every original
Polysix parameter.
The entry way to these advanced features is the Parameter
Details area, located in the lower right-hand part of the
display:
Parameter Details area
The Parameter Details area shows information for the
selected knob or switch, including its parameter group and
parameter name, its exact value, and its AMS assignments.
Using the graphic parameters
Editing knobs and sliding switches
To edit knobs and sliding switches, such as the three-position
MG MODE switch:
1. Touch the knob or switch.
A yellow square will appear around the knob or switch,
showing that it has been selected. The Parameter Details area
will change to show the name and value of the current
parameter, along with other related information.
2. Touch and then drag the knob to change its value. You
can use either up-down or right-left gestures.
or:
Use any of the VALUE controllers to edit the value.
You can use the +/- buttons, or the VALUE dial.
As you edit the value, notice that the graphic knob or switch
moves, and that the value in the Parameter Details area
changes as well.
Editing on/off switches
To edit an on/off switch, such as the MG KEY SYNC
button, simply:
1. Touch the switch to toggle the value.
Assigning AMS modulation
Most parameters support modulation via AMS. Sources and
intensities can be edited in the Parameter Details area:
1. Touch the knob or switch.
If the parameter supports AMS modulation, the Parameter
Details area will show one or more AMS sources and
intensities.
2. Edit the AMS settings in the Parameter Details area.
Note: The graphic knobs and switches always show their
stored value. Absolute Tone Adjust settings edit these
values, just as if you were editing the parameters themselves,
and so the graphics will show the results. However, AMS
modulation does not edit the stored value, and so the
graphics do not include the results of AMS.
Note also that AMS can often modulate parameters outside
the range of the stored values, as if you were pushing the
parameter beyond the ends of the knob.
Poly, Unison, Chord, and Hold
The original Polysix had four switches to select different
voice-allocation options, including
POLY , UNISON
(mono), CHORD , and HOLD . In the NAUTILUS, all of
these functions (and many more besides) are available on the
Program Basic page.
