Korg AX5B Introduction, Front and rear panel

Introduction

❑Detailed and powerful modeling sounds delivered by Korg’s

modeling technology.

❑58 types of modeling effect v ariation are built in, and y ou can use up

to six different effects (including noise reduction) and volume pedal

simultaneously.

❑You can edit all of the parameters for each effect in the four effect

categories (pre-effect, drive/amp, modulation, delay/reverb).

❑Use these modeling effects to create your own sounds and store

them in internal memory as one of 40 user progr ams. In addition, 40

more programs are provided as presets for immediate use. (p.54

“Preset program chart”)

❑The AX5B provides an expression pedal that lets you control not

only wah and volume but also many effect parameters, giving you

enormous possibilities for live performance.

❑The Quick Assign function lets you easily assign a parameter to the

expression pedal with one touch.

❑The delay sound is preserved when you switch between programs

that hav e the same delay type and TIME parameter [P1] setting. Simi-

larly, the reverb is preserved when s witching between progr ams that

have the same reverb type.

❑A built-in auto chromatic tuner lets you tune while b ypassed or muted.

This section explains the switches and connectors on the AX5B’s front

and rear panels.

The operation of the up/down buttons and value knob will depend on the

mode that’s chosen by this selector. You’re in Program mode when this se-

lector is at the [PR OGRAM] position, Write mode when at the [WRITE] posi-

tion, and Edit mode when at the [PRE FX]–[DELAY/REV -PARAM] positions .

In Edit mode, this display indicates the effect type (F0–F9, d0–d5, A0–

A9, LE, nr, Cb), the parameter (P1–P4) or its setting (value).

In Write mode or Program mode, the display indicates the prog ram num-

ber. When BYPASS/MUTE is active, the display indicates the name of

the note you’re tuning.

In Effect mode, use these buttons to switch effect types or parameters.

By pressing the two buttons simultaneously, you can turn each effect

on/off. In Write mode, use these buttons to write a program.

In Program mode, you can press these buttons to increment or decre-

ment the program number in steps of 10. When you’re using the tuner,

use these buttons to adjust the calibration setting.
