Korg Master Your Guitar Skills with the AX100G Phrase Trainer

2. Playing the AX100G

Phrase Trainer mode

In this mode, you can record a phrase from an audio device (CD or MD) connected to the AUX IN jack, and play it back repeat- edly as a loop. Then you can practice a phrase on your guitar while playing to the repeating phrase.

Since you can slow down the playback speed without affecting the pitch, this is a convenient way to learn or practice phrases from recordings that are difficult to play.

In Phrase Trainer mode, the expression pedal will automatically function as the volume control of your guitar.

When you enter this mode, the Modulation, Pedal, and Ambi- ence effects will automatically be turned off. (When you exit Phrase Trainer mode, the previous settings will be restored.)
