Korg music workstation, sampler manual Recording the bass track

3When you play the keyboard, you will hear the drum program for track 1 of the template song.

4Press the popup button located at the left of “Track Select,” and select Track 02: Bass. When you play the keyboard, you will hear a bass sound.

“Track Select” is the track that will be used to record/ play song data. Normally, the track selected here can be played from the keyboard, and during recording, your performance will be recorded on this track (in cases other than Multi REC or Master Track).

Next select T03–T08 in order, and play them from the keyboard. (The TRITON STUDIO has sixteen sequence tracks, but this template song specifies only tracks 1–8.)

Select Track03: Elec. Piano.

Track Play Loop will continue repeating for the num- ber of measures specified by “Length.” If you want to limit the number of repetitions or place other perfor- mance data (e.g., a drum fill-in) in that track, you will need to expand the pattern into actual performance data. Use the page menu command “Repeat Mea- sure” P5: Edit, Track Edit page to specify the number of playback repetitions and expand the pattern as playback data. In the sample illustration below, per- formance data will be created to play measures 1–8 of track 1 for four times (i.e., 32 measures).

5Press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key to play back the preset pattern that you copied. Play the key- board while you listen to the drum pattern.

6Press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key to stop.

2.Repeatedly playing specific measures of a track (Track Play Loop)

Here’s how to use Track Play Loop to repeatedly play back a drum phrase.

1Press the PlyLoop tab to access the P0: Play/REC, PlayLoop T01–08 page.

2Check track 1 “Track Play Loop,” leave “Loop Start Measure” as it is, and set “Loop End Measure” to 008.

3When you press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key, the drum phrase will be played back repeatedly.

When the playback has repeated for the number of measures in the song as specified by “Length” (the power-on default is 64 measures), it will stop automati- cally.

By using “Play Intro” you can begin the loop after adding an introduction (☞PG p.55).
