Sequencer operating mode
Transport controls
The Sequencer operating mode is the full-featured onboard
sequencer, where you can create a Song from scratch, or edit it.
You can also use this mode to edit the initial parameters of a
Standard MIDI File, either made with an external sequencer or
with Pa1X’s own sequencer.
You can save the new or edited Song as a Standard MIDI File
(SMF, i.e., a file with the “.MID” extension), and play it back
either in Song Play or Sequencer mode – or on any external
sequencer.
Transport controls
To play back a Song, use SEQUENCER 1 transport controls.
While in Sequencer mode, Sequencer 1 is used for all functions.
See “SEQUENCER 1 TRANSPORT CONTROLS” on page 10 for
more information.
Note:
When pressing the
(PLAY/STOP) button to stop the Song
during playback, Song parameters are not reset.
The Songs and the Standard MIDI File
format
The native Song format for Pa1X is the Standard MIDI File.
When saving a Song as a SMF, an empty measure in automati-
cally inserted to the beginning of the Song. This measure con-
tains various Song initialization parameters.
When an SMF is loaded, the empty measure is automatically
removed.
Songs and Voice Processor Presets
You can use the Voice Processor while in Sequencer mode. For
this, just two settings are needed:
•
Select the Song track where you are recording chords to be
sent to the Voice Processor (see “Harmony Track” on
page 186).
•
Go to the Voice Processor Preset section of the Global
mode, and select the desired Voice Processor Preset.
Sequencer Play - Main page
Press SEQUENCER to access this page from another operating
mode. In this page you can load a Song, and play it back using
the transport controls for SEQUENCER 1 (see “Transport con-
trols” above).
Note:
When switching from Style Play to Sequencer mode, the
Sequencer Setup is automatically selected, and various track
parameters may change.
To return to this page from one of the Sequencer edit pages,
press the EXIT or SEQUENCER button.
To switch between Song tracks 1-8 and 9-16, use the TRK. SEL.
button.

Master transpose
Master transpose value in semitones. This value can be changed

Note:
Transpose may be automatically changed when loading a
Standard MIDI File generated with an instrument of the Korg Pa
series.
To avoid transposing, “lock” the Master Transpose parameter in the
Global (see “General Controls: Lock” on page 232), then write the
Global to memory (see “Write Global - Midi Setup dialog box” on
page 257).
