Korg music workstation, sampler manual Creating original scales, 126, Changing the scale

Creating original scales

You can create your own original scales. You can create sixteen different User Octave Scales in which the pitch of each note of the octave is repeated for all octaves, and one User All Note Scale in which the pitch of each of the 128 notes can be specified independently.

By adjusting the pitch of each key in the range of ±99, you can raise or lower it by as much as approximately one semitone relative to the normal pitch.

The user scales you create here can be used by specifying the scale for a program, for each timbre of a combination, or for each track of a song (Sequencer/Song Play).

Changing the scale

You can specify the scale for each program, for each tim- bre in a combination, or for each track of a song.

These settings are made by the Scale “Use Prog’s Scale” parameters in the following pages.

Program mode	Program P1: Edit-Basic, Program Basic
Combination mode	Combination P2: Edit-Trk Param, Other
Sequencer mode	Sequencer P2: Trk Param, Other
Song Play mode	Song Play P1: Track, Status/Scale

Here we will show how to make settings in Sequencer mode.

1Press the [SEQ] key to enter Sequencer mode.

2After pressing the [MENU] key, and press the P2: Trk Param.

3Press the Other 1–8 tab or Other 9–16 tab to select the Sequencer P2: Trk Param, Other page.

4If you wish to use the scale that is specified for the program used by a track, check the “Use Program’s Scale” check box for that track.

Tracks that are not checked will use the scale specified by Scale “Type (Song’s Scale).”

5Set “Type (Song’s Scale)” to select the scale for the entire currently selected song.
