Korg sampler manual Setting a parameter, Value controllers, Bank INT-A-INT-G, EXB-A-EXB-G keys

3. Setting a parameter

The parameter value in the edit cell can be set by using the front panel VALUE controllers ([VALUE] slider, [][] keys, [VALUE] dial, numeric keys [0]–[9], [–] key, [ENTER] key, and [./10’s HOLD] key). As necessary, you can also use the [BANK] keys and the [COMPARE] key. For some parameters, the value can be set by pressing a popup button to display the popup menu and then select- ing a parameter value, or by holding down the [ENTER] key and playing a note on the keyboard to input a note number or velocity value.

VALUE controllers

[VALUE] slider

Use this when you wish to make major changes in the value.

In Program mode and Combination mode, this slider can also be used as a control source for alternate modulation or dynamic modulation. (This is active in Program or Combination P0: Play when the “Program Select” or “Combination Select” (the large characters in the upper part of the LCD) is selected).

[][] keys

Use these when you wish to make small changes in the value.

[VALUE] dial

Use this when you wish to make large changes in a value.

Numeric keys [0]–[9], [ENTER] key, [–] key, [./10’s HOLD] key

Use these when you know the parameter value that you wish to input.

After using the numeric keys [0]–[9] to input a number, press the [ENTER] key to finalize the parameter value. Use the [–] key to enter negative numbers.

Use the [./10’s HOLD] key to enter a decimal point.

In Program and Combination mode P0: Play page other than the Sampling page, the [./10’s HOLD] key performs the 10’s Hold function. (☞p.23, 24)

BANK [INT-A]–[INT-G], [EXB-A]–[EXB-G] keys

The BANK [INT-A]–[INT-G], [EXB-A]–[EXB-G] keys are used in Program mode to select the program bank and in Combination mode to select the combination bank. In combination, Sequencer and Song Play modes, these keys are used to select the bank of the program used by each timbre/track.

[COMPARE] key

Use this key when you wish to compare the edits you have made to a program or combination’s sound with the un-edited original (i.e., the sound that is written into memory).

When editing a program or combination, press this key. The LED will light, and the last-written settings for that program number or combination number will be recalled. When you press the [COMPARE] key once again, the LED will go dark and you will return to the settings that you were editing.

If you edit the settings that are recalled by pressing the [COMPARE] key (i.e., the settings that are written into memory), the LED will go dark, and it will not be possible to return to the previous edits by pressing the [COM- PARE] key again.

In Sequencer mode, you can use the [COMPARE] key to make “before and after” comparisons immediately after using realtime recording or step recording to record a song, or after performing a track edit operation.

For example, this can be used effectively when realtime- recording a track for a song.

1Realtime-record a track. (Take 1)

2Once again, realtime-record on the same track. (Take 2)

3Press the [COMPARE] key. The LED will light, and take 1 will be recalled.

4Press the [COMPARE] key once again. The LED will go dark, and take 2 will be recalled.

5If at step 3 you once again realtime-record on the same track (take 3), the object of the Compare function will now be take 1. If at step 4 you once again real- time-record on the same track (take 3), the object of the Compare function will be take 2.

In this way, the Compare function lets you recall the pre- vious recording or the previous state of event editing.

The Compare function is not available Sampling, Song Play, Global, or Disk modes.
