Korg sampler, music workstation manual Creating multiple songs for use in a cue list

4In “Repeat,” specify the number of times that the song for that step will be repeated. For this example, set Step 02 S001: VERSE to 02.

5Specify whether effect settings will also be switched when the song at each step is played back. If you want to effect settings to change, check the “FX” check box.

For this example, check the “FX” check box for Step 01, which loads the effects.

6To play back at the tempo that was specified for each song, set “Tempo Mode” to Auto.

If this is set to Manu (Manual), playback will use the tempo specified by “ =”.

7When you press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key, playback will begin from the step that is speci- fied as the “Current Step.”

•“Step”: The arrow will indicate the currently playing step. indicates the currently selected “Step.” If you set “Current Step” while stopped, the display will change.

•“M****”: Indicates the starting measure of that step.

•“Meter”: Indicates the currently-playing time signature. This cannot be changed.

•The name of a cue list can be specified by the “Rename Cue List” page menu command.

•When you play the keyboard, the program of the track selected by “Track Select” will sound. If a different program is selected for each song, the program specified for the currently playing song will sound.

What to do when playing back a cue list and the songs do not transition smoothly

Depending on the effect settings, a certain amount of time may be required for the effects to be switched. If this occurs, the playback will not be smoothly connected from song to song.

To ensure a smooth transition from song to song, check “FX” for “Step” 01. Do not check “FX” for the remaining steps. This way, the effect settings will be made before playback begins, and there will be no time lag when cue list playback is started or when switching from song to song. Although it will not be possible to change effect types within the cue list, you can use dynamic modulation

or MIDI control changes such as Effect Control to control the effects within the cue list, for example applying reverb more deeply on certain songs, or raising the LFO speed for a specific song. We recommend this method if you will be using a cue list to construct the song.

When you execute the page menu command “Convert to Song”, the effect settings of the “Step” 01 song will be specified for the song that results from the conversion. Even if “FX” is not checked, there may be cases in which a time lag in the transition between songs, depending on the musical data of the song. Also, there may be cases in which the musical data is not played at the correct timing at the transition between songs. If this occurs, you can edit the musical data of the song, or convert the cue list to a song for playback. If you use “Convert to Song” to con- vert the cue list to a song, there will be no time lag during playback at the transition between songs, and the musical data will be played at the correct timing.

Creating multiple songs for use in a cue list

If you want to create multiple songs for use in a cue list, it is a good idea to make the various necessary settings (pro- gram and other settings for each track, effect settings, etc.) for one song (e.g., S000), and then use the page menu com- mand “Copy From Song” in SEQ 1.1 etc. to copy it to other songs so that the settings will be consistent.

After your cue list is finished and you convert it into a song, the track settings (program, pan, volume, etc.) of each step will be converted into playback data and will be reproduced, but if the MIDI channel settings- from song to song do not match, it may not be possi- ble to convert the playback state of the cue list into a song.

Using a foot switch to switch the Step

You can use a foot switch to switch the Step.

If you set “Repeat” to FS, a foot switch connected to the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack will control the timing at which the song stops repeating. Set “Foot Switch Assign” (Global P2: Controller page) to Cue Repeat Control.
