The SongBook
Selecting the desired entry from the Main List
One of the most powerful features of the Pa600 is the onboard music database, that allows you to
organize your Styles and Songs for easy retrieving. Each entry of this database may include the artist,
title, genre, number, key, tempo, and meter (time signature) of a specified song. When selecting one of
the entries, the associated Style, Standard MIDI File or MP3 file – as well as the Style Play or Song Play
mode – is automatically recalled.
In addition to helping you organize your shows, the SongBook allows you to associate up to four Pads,
and up to four STSs to each entry. Also, you can link a text file to any entry, to be used as the Lyrics of
a song, even if there are no Lyrics events in the associated Standard MIDI File or MP3 file, or if you
prefer to play the song live with the backing of the Styles.
You can add your own entries to the SongBook, as well as edit the existing ones. Korg has already sup-
plied some hundred entries as standard. Furthermore, the SongBook allows you to create various cus-
tom lists, that may suit your different shows.
Selecting the desired entry from the Main List
A large database is already included with the instrument, and you can later customize it. You may
browse through this database in a variety of ways.
