5 - Editing a Song
0Listen to the Song.
When back in the Backing Sequence Play page, press PLAY/
STOP (SEQ1) to listen to the new Song. How smart were
you?
If the Song is fine, you can switch to the Song mode and do
some editing. Or you can save it (as seen below), and play it
in Song Play mode.
0And… if I want to delete and record again one
of the tracks, or the whole Song?
That’s easy!
1. Press RECORD again to enter Record mode.
2. Set the track to delete and record again to the REC sta-
tus.
3. Set the track you want to listen to during recording to
the PLAY status. If you don’t want to delete it, but you
don’t want to listen to it, set the track to the MUTE sta-
tus.
4. Start recording again. Anyway, if you are recording the
RT track, you can’t use the Style controls.
5. Press PLAY/STOP (SEQ1) to finish the Song and exit
Recording mode.
0Time to save your Song, isn’t it?
If you don’t save your Song, it is lost when you turn the
instrument off, or switch to the Song Play mode. So, save it to
a card. See “Save Song page” on page 84.
Need more information?
Go to “Backing Sequence operating mode” on page 82. The
Reference Guide includes all the information you need.
5 - EDITING A SONG
You can edit a Song, either a Standard MIDI File bought at
the shop, or one of your Songs made in Backing Sequence
mode.
What about changing those boring General MIDI sounds
with those gorgeous original KORG sounds? You can do it—
in Song mode.
1Press SONG to go to the Song mode.
This is the Song garage, where you may find tools to reshape
your Song.
2Insert in the card drive the card containing the
midifile you wish to edit.
Midifiles are files generated by a computer sequencer or a
musical instrument, usually after a conversion. For example,
if working with a computer, you should find a command
whose name could sound a little like “Convert to .MID”. A
midifile has a “.MID” or “.KAR” extension.
3Load the Song.
Press one of the B VOLUME/VALUE buttons (corresponding
to the Load Song command). As expected, the Load page will
appear.
If you replaced the card, press F1 (SD) to read the SD card
again.
Move the midifile to load to the first line of the display. Use
the DIAL or the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll the list; or
use the E-F (Scroll Up) or G-H (Scroll down) VOLUME/
VALUE buttons.
When the midifile is on the first line of the display, press F2
(Load) to load it. The “Are you sure?” message will appear.
Press ENTER to confirm.
Note: When loading a Standard MIDI File, the first MIDI
events are converted to the Song Performance events. You will
see them as the Programs, Volume, Pan, Effect settings assigned
to the tracks.
