Reference
The Song Play operating mode is where you can listen to Songs.
Since the Pa2X is equipped with two onboard players, you can
play two Songs at the same time. This is very useful to mix
between two Songs during a live performance. Songs can be in
Standard MIDI File, Karaoke™ or MP3 format.
You can play along with the Song with up to four Keyboard
tracks (Upper 1-3, Lower). You can select different Sounds and
Effects for Keyboard tracks by selecting Performances and STSs.
A different Voice Processor Preset may be selected by a Perfor-
mance or STS.
While in Song Play, you can use the SongBook to automatically
select Songs for a desired music genre. With each Song entry in
the SongBook, up to four STSs are associated.
Song Play mode can also be used in Easy Mode (see page 26).
Transport controls
You can use the separate transport controls for each of the two
onboard players. Use the PLAYER 1 controls for Player 1, and
PLAYER 2 controls for Player 2. See “PLAYER 1 TRANSPORT
CONTROLS” on page 10 for more information).
MIDI Clock
In Song Play mode the MIDI Clock is always generated by the
internal player, even if the Clock parameter is set to MIDI or
USB (see “Clock Source” on page 228). While in this mode,
Pa2X cannot receive MIDI Clock messages from the MIDI IN.
Pa2X transmits to the MIDI OUT and USB port only the MIDI
Clock messages generated by Player 1. For MIDI Clock messages
to be sent, the “Clock Send” parameter must be activated (see
“Clock Send” on page 228).
Tempo Lock and Link Mode
If you don’t want the Tempo to change when selecting a new
Song, turn on the TEMPO LOCK function. When the LED of
this button is turned on, you can still manually change the
Tempo with the DIAL.
When the Tempo Lock is activated, the Link Mode is also acti-
vated (see “Link Mode” on page 179). This makes both Players
use the same Tempo.
Master Volume, Balance, X-Fader
While the MASTER VOLUME slider controls the general volume
of the instrument, you can use the BALANCE slider to balance
the Song and Pad tracks against the Keyboard tracks.
Use the X-Fader to mix between Player 1 and Player 2. Move it to
the center for the maximum volume of both players.
Note: When this slider is fully moved to the right or the left, differ-
ent Lyrics, Chords, Score and Markers can be shown, and a differ-
ent Harmony Track can be selected.
Track parameters
Keyboard track settings made in Song Play mode may be saved
to a Performance. You can then recall different settings by just
selecting a single Performance.
Settings for Song tracks, like pan, volume and FX sends, depend
on the midifile.
Changes to Song tracks made in Song Play mode cannot be
saved to a midifile, and are only intended for realtime control. To
permanently save changes to the various Song parameters, edit
the midifile in Sequencer mode.
Standard MIDI Files and Sounds
The native Song file format of the Pa2X is the Standard MIDI
File (SMF), an universal standard set by all manufacturers. You
can read these files with any musical instrument or computer.
Differences may appear in sounds. If you recorded a Song on the
Pa2X (Sequencer mode), using only General MIDI sounds (i.e.,
those with the ‘GM’ suffix in their name), you can be confident
you can play the same Song on virtually any other musical
instrument or computer. If you used Korg native sounds, you
may not find the same sounds on instruments from other manu-
facturers.
