Song Play operating mode
Main page
Hint: While in the main page, you can have the Tempo parameter
of Player 2 “on focus”, while Player 1 is selected. In this situation,
you can use the DIAL to change Tempo for Player 2, and SHIFT +
DIAL to change Tempo for Player 1.
Total time
This parameter only appears when an MP3 file has been selected.
Total length (in minutes:seconds) of the selected MP3 file.
Elapsed time
This parameter only appears when an MP3 file has been selected.
Elapsed time (in minutes:seconds) of the MP3 file currently in
play.
Tempo variation
This parameter only appears when an MP3 file has been selected.
Variation of the original MP3 file’s tempo, inside a range of
±30% of the original tempo. When Tempo is changed, MP3 files
are smoothly accelerated or slowed down (inside a range of
±30% of the original tempo). This may seem trivial, but it is
really rocket-science instead, and is made possible by Korg
sophisticate time-stretching algorithms.
Style area
Currently selected Style. You can select a Style while playing
Songs, to have it ready when switching to Style Play mode. Also,
this lets you change the Pad and STS settings (since Pads and
STSs are recalled by a Style).
Touch the Style name to open the Style Select window. As an
alternative, use the STYLE SELECT section on the control panel.
Performance/STS area
This is where the Performance or STS name is shown.
Selected Performance or STS
This is the latest selected Performance (PERF) or Single Touch
Setting (STS).
Touch the name to open the Performance Select window. As an
alternative, use the PERFORMANCE/SOUND SELECT section
to select a different Performance.
To select a different STS from the latest selected Style, use the
four SINGLE TOUCH SETTING buttons under the display.
Keyboard tracks area
This is where Keyboard tracks are shown.

track.
• If the track is already selected (white background), touch the
Sound name to open the Sound Select window.

then touch the Sound name to open the Sound Select window.
For more information about the Sound Select window, see
