Korg Electric Keyboard Rename Pattern, Step Rec Loop, Event Edit, Erase Pattern, Copy Pattern

Rename Pattern

Press the [F5] (“Name”) key to access the dialog box, and rename the selected pattern.

You may input up to sixteen characters. (☞ BG p.43)

Step Rec (Loop)

Here you can perform step recording into a pattern. This is available when a user pattern is selected.

1In “Pattern Bank” and “Pattern Select,” specify the pat- tern. By default, the pattern length is one measure. If you wish to change the number of measures in the pattern, set the Utility “Pattern Param.”

2Select the “Step Rec (Loop)” to access the dialog box.

3The remaining steps are the same as when step recording a track. Refer to steps 3 and following of “Step Record- ing” (5.2–1b). However, step recording a pattern differs from step recording a track in that when you reach the end of the pattern, you will automatically return to the beginning of the pattern and continue recording, allow- ing you to add more data.

Event Edit

Here you can edit individual events of the musical data in a pattern that you input.

Use “Pattern Bank” and “Pattern Select” to specify the pat- tern that you wish to edit.

For the remaining steps, refer to “Event Edit” (5.2–1b).

Pattern Param. (Pattern Parameter)

This command specifies the number of measures and the time signature of the selected pattern.

1Use “Pattern Bank” and “Pattern Select” to specify the pattern.

2Select “Pattern Param.” to access the dialog box.

3In “Length,” specify the number of measures in the pat- tern.

4In “Meter,” specify the time signature of the pattern. However, this time signature is only temporary, and when you “put” the pattern in a track of a song, the pat- tern will play according to the time signature of that mea- sure.

5To execute the Pattern Parameter settings, press the [F8] (“OK”) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key.

Erase Pattern

This command erases the musical data from the selected pattern.

1Use “Pattern Bank” and “Pattern Select” to specify the pattern.

2Select “Erase Pattern” to access the dialog box.

3If you check “All Pattern,” all user patterns in the song will be erased.

If “All Patterns” is not checked, only the pattern speci- fied in 1 will be erased.

4To execute the Erase Pattern command, press the [F8] (“OK”) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key.

Copy Pattern

This command copies the settings and musical data of the selected pattern to another pattern.

User patterns belong to a particular song, but you can use the Copy Pattern command to use a pattern in another song. While preset patterns cannot be edited, you can copy a pre- set pattern to a user pattern and then edit and save it as a user pattern. Be aware that when you execute the Copy Pat- tern operation, the pattern settings and musical data of the copy destination will be erased.

1Select “Copy Pattern” to access the dialog box.

2In From: “Pattern,” specify the copy source pattern. (By default, this will be the pattern that was selected in the page.)

3In To: “Song” and “Pattern,” specify the copy destination song and pattern. For “Pattern,” only user patterns U00– U99 can be specified.

4To execute the Copy Pattern command, press the [F8] (“OK”) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key.

Bounce Pattern

This command combines the musical data of the bounce source pattern and bounce destination pattern, and places the combined musical data in the bounce destination. The time signature and length of the pattern following execution will be according to the settings of the bounce destination. If MIDI control data exists in the selected pattern and in the bounce destination pattern, the resulting playback following the bounce operation may produce unexpected results. We recommend that you use “Event Edit” (5.1–1c) to prepare the MIDI control data of the two patterns before executing the Bounce Pattern command.

1Use “Pattern Bank” and “Pattern Select” to specify the bounce source pattern.

2Select “Bounce Pattern” to access the dialog box.

3In From “Pattern,” select the bounce source pattern. (By default, the pattern that are selected in the page will be chosen.)

4In To: “Song” and “Pattern,” select the bounce destina- tion song and pattern. For “Pattern,” only user patterns U00–U99can be specified.

5To execute the Bounce Pattern command, press the [F8] (“OK”) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key.
