Resol (Resolution)

This parameter sets the quantization during recording. (1/32)… (1/8)

Grid resolution, in musical values. For exam- ple, when you select 1/16, all notes are moved to the nearest 1/16 division. When you select 1/ 8, all notes are moved to the nearest 1/8 divi- sion.

Meter

This is the meter (time signature) of the Style. You can edit this parameter only when the Style is empty, i.e. before you begin recording anything.

Original Key/Chord

This is the track’s original key and chord. Use the D VOL- UME/VALUE buttons to select the line, and the F1 and F2 buttons to switch from the key/chord name and the key/ chord type (Maj, min…).

When in Style Play mode, this chord will be played back exactly as it was recorded, without any NTT processing (see below). To record just one Chord Variation for a Style Ele- ment, the suggested original key/chord is “maj7”. Be very careful to play the 7th+ note (i.e., with a “Cmaj7th” key/ chord, the B), to avoid the lack of notes, or a bad NTT con- version when playing different chords.

Note: To conform to Korg specifications, it is advisable to record both the “Major” and “minor” Chord Variations for the Intro 1 and Ending 1 Style Elements.

When you select a track, the original key/chord assigned to the selected track will be activated. All recorded tracks will play back on that key/chord. For example, if the original key/ chord for the Acc1 track is A7th, when selecting the Acc1 tracks all the remaining tracks will play according to the A7th key/chord.

In the above example, you will record the Acc1 track in the AMajor key, with notes that will comply with the A7th chord. This is the pattern that will be recalled exactly as it was recorded, when playing an A7th chord.

Copying the Key/Chord value to all other tracks of the same Chord Variation. While in this page, you can keep the SHIFT button pressed, while pressing one of the [D] VOLUME/ VALUE buttons, to copy the Key of the currently selected track to all other tracks of the same Chord Variation. This function is useful to speed-up pattern programming, and to avoid having different tracks in different keys within the same Chord Variation.

NTT

The Note Transposition Table (NTT) determines how the arranger will transpose pattern notes, when playing a chord that does not exactly match to the original chord of a Chord Variation. For example, if you only recorded a Chord Varia- tion for the CMaj chord, when a CMaj7 is recognized on the keyboard the arranger must transpose some notes to create the missing 7th.

Note: To conform to Korg specifications, it is advisable to set the NTT to “No Transpose” on the Intro 1 and Ending 1.

Root	The root note (in CMaj = C) is transposed to
	the missing notes.
5th	The 5th note (in CMaj = G) is transposed to
	the missing notes.
i-Series	All original patterns must be programmed on
	the “Maj7” or “min7” chords. When loading
	old Korg i-Series instruments, this option is
	automatically selected.
No Transp	No transposition applied. The pattern will
	always play as recorded. This is the standard
	setting of Intro 1 and Ending 1 in Korg’s origi-
	nal Styles.

Program name

Select a track using the VOLUME/VALUE buttons. Select a Program using the PROGRAM/PERFORMANCE section. While in this page, you can set the track’s volume using the VOLUME/VALUE buttons. Since the track’s volume is mem- orized in the Style Performance and not in the pattern, this setting will not be recorded and saved. However, this will
