Korg Speaker System Simple program editing, Performance Edit, Realtime controls, Octave

Simple program editing

Program sounds can be modified and created in Pro- gram P1: Edit-Basic–P9: Edit-Master Effect. However, you can also use the “Performance Editor” to perform simple editing in Program P0: Play as well.

You can also use REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs to modify the sound.

The sound that you edit using the Performance Editor or using REALTIME CONTROLS knobs [1]–[4] in A-mode (or B-mode if CC#70–79 are assigned) can be saved by writing the program. If you wish to keep the edited sound, you must write the program before selecting another pro- gram or turning off the power (☞p.38).

Parameters assigned to B-mode of the realtime editor

By using the eight sliders of the Performance Editor, you can make overall adjustments to the sound. When you move a slider, multiple program parame- ters are adjusted simultaneously.

Depending on the settings of the program parame- ters, the result may not be noticeable.

Octave

Adjust the octave.

Pitch Stretch

Simultaneously adjust the transpose and tune settings of the oscillator. This allows you to produce a variety of tonal changes without losing the character of the original sound.

This Performance Edit function cannot be used on bank F.

OSC Balance

Adjust the level balance between oscillators 1 and 2.

For programs whose “Oscillator Mode” (Program P1: Program Basic tab) setting is Single, oscillator 2 will not sound. Only the level of oscillator 1 will change. For a Drums program, this performance editor will have no effect.

Amp Level

Adjust the amp level. This will adjust the volume of the entire program.

Attack Time

Adjust the attack time of the filter EG and amp EG. This will adjust the speed of the attack from note-on.

In order to maximize the effect of the Attack Time adjustment, the amp EG Start Level, Attack Level, Start Level Modulation, and Attack Time Modula- tion parameters are also adjusted.

Decay Time

Adjust the decay time and slope time of the filter EG and amp EG.

IFX Balance

This simultaneously adjusts the “Wet/Dry” balance of all insert effects 1–5. The type of each insert effect is shown in the LCD screen.

MFX Balance

This simultaneously adjusts the Return 1 and 2 param- eters of the master effects. The type of each master effect is shown in the LCD screen.

Realtime controls

These can be used to edit parameters such as the filter cutoff frequency, resonance, the amp and filter EG, vol- ume, portamento time, pan, pitch LFO, and master effect send level etc. (☞p.26).
