Korg KORG Pa50 Oscillators, Single Trigger, Legato, Priority, Selected, MS Hi/Lo Bank/Num, Level

When the same note is played repeatedly, the previous note will be silenced before the next note is sounded, so that the notes do not over- lap.

When the same note is played repeatedly, the previous note will not be silenced before the next note is sounded.

Oscillators

Use this parameter to specify the basic Program type; whether it will use one or more oscillators (up to four).

Drum Programs use only one oscillator.

1…4 Number of oscillators the Program will use. The total amount of polyphony varies depend- ing on the number of oscillators used by the Program (a maximum of 62 with only 1 oscil- lator, or a maximum of 15 with 4 oscillators).

Mode

This is the polyphonic mode of the Program.

Poly	The Program will play polyphonically, allow-
	ing you play chords.
Mono	The Program will play monophonically, pro-
	ducing only one note at a time.

Single Trigger

This parameter is available when the “Mode” parameter is set to Poly.

Yes

No

Legato

This parameter is available when the “Mode” parameter is set to Mono.

Yes	Legato is on. When multiple note-on’s occur,
	the first note-on will retrigger the sound, and
	the second and subsequent note-on’s will not
	retrigger.
	When legato is on, multiple note-on’s will not
	retrigger the voice. If one note is already on
	and another note is turned on, the first voice
	will continue sounding. The oscillator sound,
	envelope, and LFO will not be reset, and only
	the pitch of the oscillator will be updated. This
	setting is effective for wind instrument sounds
	and analog synth-type sounds.
No	Legato is off. Notes will always be retriggered
	when note-on occurs.
	When legato is off, multiple note-on’s will
	retrigger the voice at each note-on. The oscilla-
	tor sound, envelope, and LFO will be reset
	(and retriggered) according to the settings of
	the Program.

Note: If “Legato” is On, certain multisamples or keyboard loca- tions may produce an incorrect pitch.

Priority

This parameter is available when the “Mode” parameter is set to Mono. It specifies which note will be given priority to play when two or more notes are played simultaneously.

Low	Lowest note will take priority.
High	Highest note will take priority.
Last	Last note will take priority.

PAGE 2 - SAMPLE (SOUND PROGRAMS)

The multisample(s) (waveform) on which the Program will be based can be selected here for each of the four oscillators. Each oscillator can use 1 or 2 multisamples, each one assigned to the High or Low layer.

Samples	Osc1
Selected:	Osc1
MS Hi Bank/Num:	ROM
L>AcousticPiano	0
[H] Reverse:	No

The internal Flash-ROM contains 340 different multisamples (preset multisamples).

Selected

Use this parameter to select an oscillator to put in edit. Alter- natively, you can select oscillators using the F1-F4 buttons.

MS Hi/Lo Bank/Num

Use these parameters to select a different multisample for each of the High and Low layers. You can use velocity to switch between the two multisamples. Reverse, Offset and Level can be adjusted independently for the High and Low multisamples.

The first line shows the bank (ROM), while the second line is for selecting the multisample. The Program number appears at the end of the second line.

The multisample you select for the High layer will be trig- gered by velocities higher than the value of the “Velocity Switch” parameter (see page 14-108).If you do not wish to use velocity switching, set the switch to a value of 001, and select only the High multisample.

Note: Each multisample has an upper limit, and may not pro- duce sound when played above that limit.

[H/L] Reverse

The multisample will be played in reverse. In the case of Flash-ROM multisamples that were originally specified to loop, the multisample will be played back in “one-shot” reverse mode. If the multisample was originally set to reverse, it will playback without change.

Yes	The multisample will playback in reverse.
No	The multisample will play back normally.

[H/L] Use Offset

These parameters specify the point where the multisample(s) will begin to play. For some multisamples this parameter will not be available.

Yes	The sound will begin from the offset location
	pre-determined for each multisample.
No	The sound will start from the beginning of the
	multisample waveform.

[H/L] Level

These parameters specify the level of each multisample.

0…127 Multisample level.

Note: Depending on the multisample, high settings of this parameter may cause the sound to distort when a chord is played. If this occurs, lower the level.
