ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual is divided in three sections:

  • A Basic Guide, containing an overview of the instrument, as well as a series of practical guides (named "Tutorials").
    • A Reference Guide, with each page and parameter described in detail.
  • An Appendix, with a list of data and useful information for the advanced user.

Within the manual, you will find the following abbreviations:

▶PERF

The parameter can be saved onto a Performance by pressing the WRITE button.

▶STYLE

The parameter can be saved onto the current Style Performance by pressing the WRITE button.

STS

The parameter can be saved onto a Single Touch Setting by pressing the WRITE button.

▶GBL

The parameter can be saved onto a Global setting by going to the Global environment (see "Global edit environment" on page 125) and pressing the WRITE button.

Your microARRANGER can be constantly updated as new versions of the operating system are released by KORG. You can download the operating system from http://www.korgpa.com/. Please, read the Readme file included with the operating system itself.

You can see which version of the operating systems is installed in your microARRANGER by keeping the SHIFT button pressed, and pressing the ENTER and EXIT buttons together. The operating system version number will appear in the display. Press EXIT to close the message window.

To load a new system, follow these instructions:

  1. Copy the three operating system's files in the root of an SD card. These are the needed files:

  2. BPaMAR1.sys

  3. NBPaMAR1.sys
  4. OsPaMAR1.lzx

  5. Turn the instrument off, and insert the card containing the operating system into the card slot.

  6. Turn the instrument on. A message appears in the display, king if you want to load the operating system.
  7. Press ENTER to load, or EXIT to cancel the loading procedure. If you press ENTER, wait until the loading is finished.

When the operating system is finished loading, message appears, asking you to remove the card and press any button.

Hint: When done, delete the operating system files, to avoid microARRANGER starts the upgrade procedure each time it is turned on with the same card in the drive.

  1. Remove the card, and press any button.

RELOADING THE FACTORY DATA

Should the internal memory content get damaged, you can reload the original Factory Data from the backup card. See "Restore Data" on page 141.

2. START UP

CONNECTING THE AC POWER ADAPTER

Connect the supplied AC power adapter to the dedicated socket on the rear of the instrument. Then, plug it into a wall socket.

Warning: Use only the supplied adapter, or an adapter suggested by Korg. Other adapters may look similar, but they may damage your instrument!

TURNING THE INSTRUMENT ON AND OFF

Turning the power on

- Press the power button (⏻) located on the upper right side of the front panel.

The startup screen will appear in the LCD, and after a time it will display the main page in Style Play mode and the unit will be ready for sound output.

Turning the power off

- Press the power button (⏻) located on the upper right side of the front panel to turn off the power.

Warning: When turning the instrument off, all data contained in RAM (a volatile memory, used for Song editing) will be lost. On the contrary, data contained in the SSD disk (a non-volatile memory, used for Factory and User data) will be preserved.

Note: Never turn off the power while the SD card data is being read or written.

ABOUT THE AUTO POWER-OFF FUNCTION

With the factory settings, this instrument will automatically power-off when four hours have passed since you last played the keyboard or used the buttons. If desired, you can turn off (disable) this function.

The power will also turn off automatically after four hours pass with only songs or demo songs being played.

To adjust power on/off settings, press the [GLOBAL] button to enter the GLOBAL page, and adjust the settings on the Page1-Gen.Controls page. ("AutoF" on page 125)

CONTROLLING THE VOLUME

- Use the MASTER VOLUME slider to control the overall volume of the instrument. This slider controls the volume of the sound going to the internal speakers, the L/MONO & RIGHT OUTPUTS, and the HEADPHONES connector.

KORG MicroARRANGER - CONTROLLING THE VOLUME - 1

text_image MASTER VOLUME ACC / SEQ VOLUME ASSIGN. SLIDER

Note: Start at a moderate level, then raise the MASTER VOLUME up. Don't keep the volume at an uncomfortable level for too long.

- Use the ACC/SEQ VOLUME slider to control the Style tracks (drums, percussion, bass...) volume. This slider also controls both of the Sequencers tracks, excluding the Realtime (Keyboard) tracks.

- By default, you can use the ASSIGN.SLIDER to control the keyboard tracks volume. This slider is user-assignable, but is set to the Keyboard Expression parameter by default.

THE BALANCE SLIDER

The BALANCE slider sets the relative volume of the two onboard sequencers (Sequencer1 and Sequencer 2).

- Move it fully left to set Sequencer 1 to the maximum level and Sequencer 2 to zero.

- Move it fully right to set Sequencer 1 to zero and Sequencer 2 to the maximum level.

- Move it to the center to set both Sequencers at the same level.

Note: When turning the instrument on, move this slider to the center, to avoid starting a Song at the minimum level.

HEADPHONES

You can connect a pair of headphones to the rear panel headphone jack (PHONES: stereo mini-jack). You can use headphones with an impedance of 16–200Ω (50Ω recommended). Use a headphone distributor to connect more than one pair of headphones.

AUDIO OUTPUTS

You can send the sound to an external amplification system, instead of the internal speakers. This is useful when recording, or when playing live.

Stereo. Connect two mono cables to the L/MONO & RIGHT OUTPUTS. Connect the other end of the cables to a stereo channel of your mixer, two mono channels, two powered monitors, or the TAPE/AUX input of your audio system. Don't use the PHONO inputs of your audio system!

Mono. Connect a mono cable to the L/MONO OUTPUT. Connect the other end of the cable to a mono channel of your mixer, a powered monitor, or a channel of your TAPE/AUX input of a hi-fi system (you will hear that channel only, unless you can set the amplifier to Mono mode).

AUDIO INPUTS

You can connect the output of another electronic musical instrument, an unpowered mixer, or any audio device to the rear panel input jack (INPUT: stereo mini-jack). Since this is a line-level input, you'll need to use a separately sold mic preamp or mixer if you're connecting a mic.

Use the connected device's volume control to adjust the input level. Be careful not to make it distort (or "clip"). Here is how to set the volume of the connected device:

  • if the sound heard on microARRANGER's outputs is too low, you should increase the output level of the connected device.
    • if it sounds fine, it's ok.
  • if its distur should lower the level a little, until the sounds is fine again.

MIDI CONNECTIONS

You can play the internal sounds of your microAR-RANGER with an external controller, i.e. a master keyboard, a MIDI guitar, a wind controller, a MIDI accordion, or a digital piano.

  1. Connect a standard MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of your controller to the MIDI IN connector on the microARRANGER.
  2. Select a transmission MIDI channel on your controller. Some controllers, like the MIDI accordions, usually transmit on more than one channel (see more information in the MIDI chapter).
  3. On the microARRANGER, sect the MIDI Setup that best fits your controllers type (see "Page 4 - MIDI Setup" on page 126).

DAMPER PEDAL

Connect a Damper (Sustain) pedal to the DAMPER connector on the back panel. Use a KORG PS-1, PS-3 or DS-1H footswitch pedal, or a compatible one. To switch the Damper polarity, see "Damper Pol. (Damper Polarity)" on page 126.

DEMO

Listen to the built-in Demo Songs to appreciate the power of the microARRANGER. There are 16 Demo Songs to choose from.

  1. Press the STYLE PLAY and SONG PLAY buttons together. Their LEDs start blinking.
    At this point, if you don't press any other button, all the Demo Songs will be played back.
  2. Choose a page using the PAGE buttons. There are two different pages in the Demo mode.
  3. Select a Demo Song by pressing the corresponding VOLUME/VALUE button around the display. The Demo will automatically start.
  4. Stop the Demo by pressing START/STOP.
  5. Exit the Demo mode by pressing one of the MODE buttons.

7. TUTORIAL

This chapter is fully devoted to step-by-step instructions, that we hope may be useful to learn the basics—in the field.

PLAYING A STYLE

(Automatic Accompaniment)

A Style will be your virtual band for your best solos. Select one of the 304 Styles we fitted in this machine...

1 OK, select your favorite musical Style.

There are plenty of Styles to choose from. We will go with a Jazz Style—the "Jazz Brush".

  1. Select the second row of Styles. Press the leftmost STYLE button to switch the lower LED on.

KORG MicroARRANGER - OK, select your favorite musical Style. - 1

2 Call an Intro.

You can engage an Intro to be played before the Style. Press INTRO1 or INTRO2. The former plays more freely, without letting you decide the chords. The latter lets you play a chord progression while it's playing.

Play a chord, and press the START/STOP button.

KORG MicroARRANGER - Start the Style! - 1

KORG MicroARRANGER - Start the Style! - 2

KORG MicroARRANGER - Start the Style! - 3

Then begin playing. Usually (when the SPLIT LED is on) chords are recognized under the split point, i.e. on the Lower part of the keyboard. With the UPPER or FULL Chord Scanning mode, you must play three or more notes to have a chord recognized.

KORG MicroARRANGER - Start the Style! - 4

text_image KORG DISPLAY HOLD CHORD SCANNING LOWER UPPER KEYBOARD MODE SPLIT FULL UPPER - FULL-

4 Play your chords and your melody.

Go on playing. As you may notice, the microARRANGER features a very sophisticated chord recognition engine. Recognized chords are shown in the display.

5 Make a break—or should we say “a fill”?

During your playing, you are free to call a one-bar break. Try it:

PRESS BREAK

Do you see? Music stopped for one bar. Then, it is back again. After a while, let's go for something different...

PRESS FILL1 OR FILL2

No silence, this time. microARRANGER plays a complex passage to let you take a breath. FILL1 is the simpler one, where FILL2 is more sophisticated. Usually, you will use FILL1 when playing with Variations 1 and 2 (the most easy), FILL2 when working with Variations 3 and 4 (more complex ones).

KORG MicroARRANGER - PRESS FILL1 OR FILL2 - 1

6 Select other Variations.

There are four VARIATION buttons. These are four different versions of the same Style. Try them all!

KORG MicroARRANGER - Select other Variations. - 1

text_image VARIATION O1 O2 O3 O4 FILL COUNT IN BREAK ENDING O1 O2 O3 O4 • 2

You can go to a Variation after a Fill. Just press a FILL button, then, immediately after press a VARIATION button.

7 S t o p i t !

OK, you could say: "Oh, that's easy, I know how to do it, I can just press that big red START/STOP button again".

Yes, you are perfectly right. But that's the easy way. Let us suggest a more colorful way:

PRESS ENDING1 OR ENDING2

An ending is instantaneously called, and will begin playing, to lead the Style to a colorful end. As usual, ENDING1 is pre-programmed, while ENDING2 asks for your chord progression.

KORG MicroARRANGER - PRESS ENDING1 OR ENDING2 - 1

In Sync

"What if I want to avoid all that START/STOP stuff? I mean, I prefer to have my hands free for playing music!"

Good point. The SYNCHRO button is there right for this purpose.

1 While the Style is stopped, press the SYN-CHRO button.

The SYNCHRO-START LED begins blinking. The Synchro Start function is enabled.

KORG MicroARRANGER - While the Style is stopped, press the SYN-CHRO button. - 1

KORG MicroARRANGER - While the Style is stopped, press the SYN-CHRO button. - 2

KORG MicroARRANGER - While the Style is stopped, press the SYN-CHRO button. - 3

2 Play a c hord on the keyboard.

You must play a chord for the chord recognition engine. Usually, it will be to the left of the split point, but it depends on the CHORD SCANNING section (see "CHORD SCANNING section" on page 17).

The Style starts.

3 Sto p the Style using your chosen method.

Need more information?

Go to "Style Play operating mode" on page 40. The Reference Guide includes all the information you need.

PLAYING IN REALTIME

(Without using Automatic Accompaniment)

As soon as you turn your microARRANGER on, it is in Style Play mode, and you can play it in realtime. Please follow me...

1 Play on the keyboard.

When you turn the microARRANGER on, Performance 1-1 is automatically selected.

KORG MicroARRANGER - Play on the keyboard. - 1

text_image Performance bank-number chord tempo .71 Transpose C 0 octave Grove Bld 1-1 Drum/Perc. Grand Piano FingElBass2 Dark Pad Accone. 1/5 StringsEns2 Analog Str

This sets the Realtime (Keyboard) tracks for you. In this case you get the Upper 1 track playing on the full keyboard range, with the Grand Piano Program selected.

As you may know, there are four available Realtime tracks: Upper 1–3 and Lower. Upper Realtime tracks may play on the full range of the keyboard (the selected KEYBOARD MODE shall be FULL UPPER). Otherwise, the Lower track plays on the left of the Split Point, and the Upper tracks on the right (KEYBOARD MODE shall be SPLIT).

If you are not satisfied with this setting at startup, you can simply select another Performance. Or change the track's settings—as you will see in this tutorial—and save them into Performance 1-1. You'll soon see how to do it.

2 Select a different Performance.

Is the PERFORM. LED on?

KORG MicroARRANGER - Select a different Performance. - 1

Other editings

The Volume is not the only parameter you can edit. You can edit a lot more things, like the Pan, the Effects, the Tuning... you can even use up to 4 effects (A–D Internal FX Processors), but this will be useful only when reading the Song back on the microARRANGER only, since other General MIDI-compliant instruments use only 2 effects.

Need more information?

Go to "Song operating mode" on page 88. The Reference Guide includes all the information you need.

THE ARABIC SCALE

You can program an Arabic scale in real time, by assigning a footswitch or a pad the "Quarter Tone" function.

Another way of changing the scale is assigning it to a Performance or Single Touch Setting (STS), but this is the most convenient way to change the pitch in real time.

1 Program a footswitch to be the Quarter tone switch.

Simply go to the Global environment, and reach "Page 3 - Assignable Ped/Footswitch, Assignable Slider". There, you will find the "P/S (Pedal/Switch)" parameter, to which you can assign the Quarter tone function. Press WRITE to save the Global status in memory (see "The Write window" on page 125).

2 Lower some note pitches.

Keep the Quarter tone pedal pressed. The keyboard will not play at this time. Press the notes you want to lower a quarter of tone. Release the pedal.

3 Play with your new scale.

The notes you pressed are now lowered of a quarter of tone.

4 Reset the original scale.

Press the Quarter tone pedal again. All pitches will be reset, and the scale selected by the Performance, STS or Style Performance will be recalled.

Need more information?

As stated, you can assign an alternative scale to a Performance or STS. Go to "Page 5 - Tuning: Scale" on page 44, and give also a look to the "Scale Mode" parameter (see page 51).

8. MIDI

WHAT IS MIDI?

Here is a brief overview of MIDI, as related to the microARRANGER. If interested, you may find more information on the general use of MIDI in the various specialized magazines and books.

In general

MIDI stands for Musical Instruments Digital Interface. This interface lets you connect two musical instruments, or a computer and various musical instruments.

Physically, MIDI is composed of three different connectors. The MIDI IN receives data from another device; the MIDI OUT sends data to another device; the MIDI THRU sends to another device exactly what was received on the MIDI IN (this is useful to daisy-chain more instruments).

Channels and messages

Basically, a MIDI cable transmits 16 channels of data. Think to each MIDI channel as a TV channel: the receiver must be set on the same channel of the transmitter. The same happens with MIDI messages: when you send a Note On message on channel 1, it will be received on channel 1 only. This allows for multitimbricity: you can have more than one sound playing on the same MIDI instrument.

There are various messages, but here are the most commonly used:

Note On - This message instructs an instrument to play note on a specific channel. Notes have both a name (C4 standing for the center C) and a number (60 being the equivalent for C4). A Note Off message is often used to say the note has been released. In some case, a Note On with value "0" is used instead.

Together with the Note On message, a Velocity value is always sent. This value tells the instrument how loud the note must play.

Pitch Bend (PB) - You can generate this message acting on the joystick (X movement). The pitch is translated up or down.

Program Change (PC)– When you select a Program, a Program Change message is generated on the channel. Use this message, together with Control Change 00 and 32, to remotely select microARRANGER data from a sequencer or a master keyboard.

Control Change (CC) - This is a wide array of messages, controlling most of the instrument parameters. Some examples:

  • CC00, or Bank Select MSB, and CC32, or Bank Select LSB. This message pair is used, together with the Program Change message, to select a Program.
  • CC01, or Modulation. This is the equivalent of pressing up the joystick. A vibrato effect is usually triggered on.
  • CC07, or Master Volume. Use this controller to set the channel's volume.

  • CC10, or Pan. This one sets the channel's position on the stereo front.

  • CC64, or Damper Pedal. Use this controller to simulate the Damper pedal.

Tempo

Tempo is a global MIDI message, that is not tied to a particular channel. Each Song includes Tempo data.

Lyrics

Lyrics are non-standard MIDI events, made to display text together with the music. microARRANGER can read many of the available Lyrics format on the market.

MIDIFILES

Midfiles, or Standard MIDI Files (SMF), are a practical way of exchanging songs between different instruments and computers. microARRANGER has the SMF format as its default song format, so reading a song from a computer, or saving a song that a computer software can read, is not a problem at all.

microARRANGER sequencers are compatible with the SMF in format 0 (all data in one track; it is the most common format) and 1 (multitrack). It can read the SMF in Song Play mode and modify/save them in Song mode. It can save a Song in SMF 0 format in the Back-ing Sequence or Song mode.

When in Song Play mode, the microARRANGER can also display SMF lyrics in Solton, M-Live (Midisoft), Tune1000 and compatible (Edirol, GMX, HitBit, XF) formats, and the chord abbreviations of SMF in Solton, M-live (Midisoft), GMX, and XF format.

THE GENERAL MIDI STANDARD

Some years ago, the musical instruments world felt a need for some further standardization. Then, the General MIDI Standard (GM) was born. This extension of the basic MIDI sets new rules for compatibility between instruments:

• A minimum of 16 MIDI channels was required.
- A basic set of 128 Programs, correctly ordered, was mandatory.
• The Drum Kit had a standard order.
• Channel 10 had to be devoted to the Drum Kit.

A most recent extension is the GM2, that further expands the Programs database. The microARRANGER is soundwise-compatible with the GM2 standard.

THE GLOBAL CHANNEL

Any channels with the Global option assigned (see "Page 6 - MIDI IN Channels" on page 127) can simulate the microARRANGER integrated keyboard. When the microARRANGER is connected to a master keyboard,

transmission should take place over the Global channel of the microARRANGER.

The MIDI messages received over a Global channel and not over a standard channel are affected by the buttons of the KEYBOARD MODE section, as well from the split point. Therefore, if the SPLIT button LED is lit up, the notes that arrive to the microARRANGER over this channel will be divided by the split point into the Upper (above the split point) and Lower (below the split point) parts.

The notes that arrive to a Global channel are used for the chord recognition of the automatic accompaniment. If the KEYBOARD MODE is SPLIT, only the notes below the split point will be used. These notes will be combined with the ones of the special Chord 1 and Chord 2 channels.

THE CHORD 1 AND CHORD 2 CHANNELS

You can set two special Chord channels (see page 128) to send to the microARRANGER notes for the chord recognition. The notes will be combined with the notes that go through the channel set as Global (Global notes are recognized only under the split point, if the SPLIT LED is lit up).

The Chord channels are not affected by the split point and the KEYBOARD MODE section of the control panel. All the notes – both above and below the split point – will be sent to the chord recognition.

The buttons of the CHORD SCANNING section have a particular effect on the Chord channels:

  • if you have selected LOWER, the chord recognition mode will be set by the "Chord Recognition Mode" parameter in the Style Play mode (see page 51);
  • if you have selected UPPER or FULL, the chord recognition mode will always be Fingered 2 (you need to play at least three notes in order for the chord to be detected).

These two channels are especially useful for accordion players to assign a different Chord channel to the chords and the bass played with the left hand. In this way, chords and bass will participate to the creation of chords for the chord recognition of the automatic accompaniment.

THE CONTROL CHANNEL

You can set a MIDI IN channel as the Control channel (see page 128), to select Styles and Performance from an external device. See the Appendix for a list of messages corresponding to microARRANGER internal data.

MIDI SETUP

You can play microARRANGER with an external controller, and use it simply as a gorgeous sound generator. To help you configure the MIDI channels, we have provided a set of MIDI Setups. Go to Global mode to select the one that fits your MIDI needs. (See "Page 4 - MIDI Setup" on page 126 for more information).

We recommend you to consider each MIDI Setup as a starting point you can freely tweak. Once you have selected the most appropriate MIDI Setup for the connection to be made, you can modify the parameters as necessary and save the Global in the memory with the Write function (see "The Write window" on page 125).

CONNECTING microARRANGER TO A MASTER KEYBOARD

You can control the microARRANGER with a master keyboard or any other MIDI keyboard. You only need to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the master keyboard to the MIDI IN connector of the microARRANGERmicroARRANGER. The master keyboard will become the integrated keyboard of the microARRANGER if it transmits over the same channel programmed as Global in the microARRANGER.

KORG MicroARRANGER - CONNECTING microARRANGER TO A MASTER KEYBOARD - 1

text_image MIDI IN MIDI OUT

If the master keyboard transmits over the Global channel of the microARRANGER, the split point and the status of the KEYBOARD MODE section in the control panel will affect the notes received from the master keyboard.

Connections and settings

To connect the master keyboard to the microARRANGER follow this procedure:

  1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the master keyboard to the MIDI IN connector of the micro-ARRANGER.
  2. Program the master keyboard to transmit over the Global channel of the microARRANGER (see "Page 6 - MIDI IN Channels" on page 127).
    For information on the master keyboard programming, see the user's manual of the master keyboard.
  3. Press GLOBAL to enter the Global mode, then go to "Page 4 - MIDI Setup" (see page 126).
  4. Select the Master Keyboard Setup.
    Note: The settings can change when new data is loaded from a card. To protect the settings from loading, use the Global Protect function (see "Global Protect" on page 142).
  5. Press WIKE, select Global, and press ENTER to save the Global. The "Are you sure?" message will appear. Press ENTER to confirm, or EXIT to abort.
  6. Press one of the buttons in the MODE section to go to the desired operative mode.

CONNECTING THE microARRANGER TO A MIDI ACCORDION

There are different types of MIDI accordion and each type requires a different configuration of the microARRANGER. Select one of the MIDI "Accordion" Setups to configure the module properly (see page 126).

Connection and settings

To connect the accordion to the microARRANGER follow this procedure:

  1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the accordion to the MIDI IN connector of the microARRANGER.
  2. Press GLOBAL to enter the Global mode, then go to "Page 4 - MIDI Setup" (see page 126).
  3. Select one of the Accordion Setups.
    Note: The settings can change when new data is loaded from a card. To protect the settings from loading, use the Global Protect function (see "Global Protect" on page 142).
  4. Press WRIT E, select Global, and press ENTER to save the Global. The "Are you sure?" message will appear. Press ENTER to confirm, or EXIT to abort.
  5. Press one of the buttons in the MODE section to go to the desired operative mode.

CONNECTING THE microARRANGER TO AN EXTERNAL SEQUENCER

You can program a new Song on an external sequencer, using microARRANGER as a multi-timbral expander.

Connections and settings

In order to connect the microARRANGER to a computer, you need to have a computer with the MIDI interface.

  1. Connect the microARRANGER and the computer as in the following diagram.

KORG MicroARRANGER - Connections and settings - 1

text_image MIDI OUT MIDI IN MIDI IN MIDI OUT
  1. Press GLOBAL, and go to "Page 5 - MIDI Controls". Set the Local parameter to Off (see page 127).

  2. Go to "Page 4 - MIDI Setup" (see page 126). Select the Ext.Seq Setup.
    Note: The settings can change when new data is loaded from a card. To protect the settings from loading, use the Global Protect function (see "Global Protect" on page 142).

  3. Press WRITE, select Global, and press ENTER to save the Global. The "Are you sure?" message will appear. Press ENTER to confirm, or EXIT to abort.
  4. Set the Upper 1 track in play, and press FULL UPPER in the KEYBOARD MODE section. This way, you can transmit to the external sequencer on the full keyboard range.
  5. At this point, the notes played on the Upper track go from the MIDI OUT of the microARRANGER to the MIDI IN of the computer/MIDI interface.
    The not generated by the computer (i.e. a Song played by its sequencer) are sent thru the MIDI OUT of the MIDI interface to the MIDI IN connector of the microARRANGER.

The Local Off

When the microARRANGER is connected to an external sequencer, we recommend you to set the microARRANGER in Local Off mode (see "Local" on page 127) to avoid that the notes are simultaneously played by the keyboard and by the MIDI events sent by the external sequencer.

When the microARRANGER is in Local Off, the microARRANGER keyboard transmits data to the external sequencer, but not to the internal sound generation. The sequencer will receive the notes played on the microARRANGER keyboard (Upper 1) and send them to the selected track of the song. The track will transmit the data to the internal sound generation of the microARRANGER.

Note: In order to send data to the microARRANGER sound generation, the "MIDI Thru" function must be activated in the external sequencer (normally active; the name may be different according to the type of sequencer). For more information refer to the instructions manual of the sequencer.

The programs

The Song that is played back by the computer sequencer can select the microARRANGER Programs through the MIDI messages Bank Select MSB and Bank Select LSB (bank selection, two messages) and Program Change (program selection). For a list of Programs and MIDI values, see “Programs (Program Change order)” on page 154.

A suggestion for those who program songs on computer: Even though it is not essential, you usually set the 18a on channel 2, melody on channel 4, drum kit on channel 10, control for an external voice harmonizer on channel 5.

PLAYING ANOTHER INSTRUMENT WITH THE microARRANGER

You can use the microARRANGER as the master controller for your MIDI setup.

  1. Connect microARRANGER's MIDI OUT to the other instrument's MIDI IN.
  2. Set-up the other instrument's tracks to the same channels you want to play from microARRANGER. For example, if you wish to play the Upper 1 and Upper 2 tracks with the other instrument's sound, set the other instrument to receive on the same channels of the Upper 1 and Upper 2 tracks (by default, channels 1 and 2).

  3. Set the general volume of the other instrument with its own volume controls.

  4. Mute/unmute any track right from the microARRANGER front panel. Set each track's volume using microARRANGER own VOLUME/VALUE controls.

  5. Play on microARRANGER's keyboard.

The Keyboard

microARRANGER's physical keyboard can drive up to 4 tracks via the MIDI OUT (Upper 1–3 and Lower). MIDI output channels are set in Global mode (see "Page 10 - MIDI OUT Channels" on page 129).

As a fault situation (Default Setup), each of micro-ARRANGER Realtime Tracks transmit on these channels:

TrackOut Channel
Upper11
Upper22
Upper33
Lower4

When a track is in mute, it can't transmit any MIDI data to an external expander or sequencer connected micro-ARRANGER's MIDI OUT.

To hear only the expander's sounds, you can lower the MASTER VOLUME control on the microARRANGER, or set the Realtime Tracks to the External status (see "Page 15 - Track: Internal/External" on page 47).

The Sequencer

Any Sequencer's track can drive a channel on an external instrument. To set each track's MIDI output channel, see "Page 10 - MIDI OUT Channels" on page 129.

To hear only the expander's sounds, you can lower the MASTER VOLUME control on the microARRANGER, or set the Song tracks to the External status (see "Page 8 - Track: Internal/External" on page 79).

Select the Sequencer 1 or Sequencer 2 MIDI Setup (depending on the Sequencer you are using on the microARRANGER) to set the channels as follows.

TrackOut Channel
Song 1...161...16

The Arranger

One of the most interesting aspect of MIDI, is that you can use your microARRANGER to play an external instrument with its onboard arranger. Yes, it's hard to beat the audio quality of microARRANGER, but you could wish to use that old faithful synth you are still accustomed to...

To assign some of microARRANGER Style tracks to an external instrument, set them to the External status (see "Page 15 - Track: Internal/External" on page 47).

Select the Default MIDI Setup to set the channels as follows (this is the default status of microARRANGER).

REFERENCE GUIDE

The Style Play mode is the boot-up operating mode. When in this mode, you can play Styles (i.e. automatic accompaniments), or just play with one to four Real-time tracks on the keyboard (Upper 1...3 and Lower).

WHAT'S A STYLE?

A Style is a rhythm/accompaniment structure, that sim-ulates a band backing your solos.

In a vertical direction, it is composed of 8 different tracks (Drums, Percussion, Bass, and 5 different harmonic or melodic instruments). You can play on the keyboard with 4 more Realtime tracks (Upper 1–3 and Lower).

In a horizontal direction, it is a series of Style Elements (i.e., the various sets of patterns for each chord and each of the Intros, Variations, Fills, Breaks and Endings).

STYLES AND PERFORMANCES

Styles and Performances are linked in many ways.

  • When the SINGLE TOUCH LED is on, selecting a Style also changes the Realtime (Keyboard) tracks (a Single Touch Setting is selected). The Performance settings are overridden.
  • When the STYLE CHANGE LED is on, selecting a Performance also selects a Style (the one whose number is memorized with the Performance).
  • When pressing the WRITE button, you can save the track's settings either in a Performance, a Style Performance, or a Single Touch Setting (STS).

CHANGING AND RESETTING THE TEMPO

While in the main page of the Style Play mode, you can change the Tempo using the DIAL or the DOWN/- and UP/+ buttons.

In any other page, keep the SHIFT button pressed, and use the DIAL to change the Tempo.

To recall the Tempo stored in the current Style, keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press one of the DOWN/- or UP/+ buttons.

THE DIRECT SD BANK

In addition to the internal memory Styles, you can have DIRECT SD Styles, directly accessed from the card.

Just insert a card, and press the DIRECT SD Style bank. The card slot will read the first (in alphabetical order) ".SET" folder in the card, and will give you direct access to the Styles it contains (no loading required).

Browse through the DIRECT SD Styles using the PAGE buttons. You can have up to 6 pages, and up to 48 DIRECT SD Styles in a card.

Off

The Damper pedal is not active on any track set to this status.

E (Expression)

▶PERF ▶STS

This parameters allows you to switch the Expression control on/off on each individual Realtime track. The Expression control is a relative level control, always subtracted from the Volume value of the track.

As an example, imagine you have a Piano sound assigned to Upper 1, and a Strings sound assigned to Upper 2. If you turn the Expression switch on on Upper 2, and off on Upper 1, you can use a pedal to control only the Strings' volume, while the Piano remains unchanged. To program a pedal or the Assignable Slider to act as an Expression control, see "Page 3 - Assignable Pedal/Footswitch, Assignable Slider" on page 126. You can only assign this function to a volume-type pedal, not to a switch-type one. Assign the "KB Expression" option to the pedal or Assignable Slider, then press WRITE to save the setting into the Global.

Original Style tracks always use the original Programs. If you assign a different Program to a Style track, it may be reset to the original one when selecting a different Style Element.

On You can assign different Programs to each Style track, and save them in a Performance or Style Performance. This becomes the only track's Program for all Style Elements.

W (Wrap Around)

▶PERF ▶STYLE

The wrap-around point is the highest register limit for the backing track. The accompaniment patterns will be transposed according to the detected chord. If the chord is too high, the Style tracks might play in a register that is too high, and therefore unnatural. If, however, it reaches the wrap-around point, it will be automatically transposed an octave lower.

The wrap-around point can be set for each track in semitone steps up to a maximum of 12 semitones, relative to the chord root. This value will be the interval between the key specified by the Style Element and the wrap-around point.

1...12 Maximum transposition (in semitones) of the track, referred to the original key of the pattern.

KR (Keyboard Range)

▶PERF ▶STYLE

This parameter is an on/off switch for the Key Range parameter memorized into the Style.

Or(iginal) The Keyboard Range is used. When a track goes over the lower or higher limit set by this (hidden) parameter, it is transposed, to play into the programmed range.

Off No Keyboard Range used.

Chord Recognition Mode

▶GBL

This parameter sets how chords are recognized by the auto-accompaniment engine. Please note that when in Full or Upper Chord Scanning mode, the Fingered 3 mode is always selected, and you must always play at least three notes, to let a chord be recognized.

Fingered 1 Play one or more notes, according to the selected Chord Scanning Mode. A full Major chord will be recognized even if only a single note is played.

Fingered 2 You must always play three or more notes for a full chord to be recognized. If you play just one note, a unison will be played. If you play a suspended 5th, a suspended chord will be played. The full chord will be recognized when you play three or more notes.

Fingered 3 You must always play three or more notes for a chord to be recognized.

One Finger You can also compose a chord using a simplified chord playing technique:

  • If you play only one note, a Major chord is recognized.
  • Play the root note, plus a white key on the left, for a 7th. Ex.: C3 + B2.
  • Play the root note, plus a black key on the left, for a Minor chord. Ex.: C3 + Bb2.
  • Play the root note, plus a white and black key on the left, for a Minor 7th. Ex.: C3 + B2 + Bb2.

Scale Mode

▶GBL

This parameter determines which tracks will use the selected alternative scale (see "Scale" on page 44).

Realtime tracks

The scale will only affect the Realtime (Keyboard) tracks.

Upper tracks

The scale will only affect the Upper 1–3 Realtime (Keyboard) tracks.

All Tracks The scale will affect all tracks (Realtime, Style, Pads).

Memory Mode

▶GBL

This parameter sets the way the MEMORY button works.

Chord

When its LED is on, the MEMORY button keeps the recognized chord in memory. When its LED is off, the chord is reset when raising the hand from the keyboard.

Chord + Lower

When its LED is on, the MEMORY button keeps the recognized chord in memory, and keeps the Lower track held until the next note or chord is played. When its LED is off, the chord is reset when raising the hand from the keyboard, and the Lower track is not sustained.

Lower

When its LED is on, the MEMORY button keeps the Lower track held until the next note or chord is played. When off, the Lower track is not sustained when raising the hand from the keyboard. The chord is always kept in memory.

Velocity Control

▶GBL

Set this parameter to trigger a Fill or a Break simply by playing louder with your left hand. When playing on the Lower track with a velocity higher than 95, the selected Style Element will start. For this function to work, the SPLIT Keyboard Mode and LOWER Chord Scanning Mode must be selected.

Off The function is turned off.

Break, Fill 1, Fill 2

When playing with a velocity higher than 95 on the Lower track, the selected element is automatically triggered.

Start/Stop

You can start or stop the Style by playing harder on the keyboard.

10. STYLE RECORD MODE

By entering the Style Record mode, you can create your own Styles, or edit an existing Style.

THE STYLE'S STRUCTURE

The term "Style" relates with music sequences automatically played by the arranger of the microARRANGER. A Style consists of a predefined number of Style Elements (E) (microARRANGER features ten different Style Elements: Variation 1–4, Intro 1–2, Fill 1–2, Ending 1–2). When playing, these Style Elements can be selected directly from the control panel, using the corresponding buttons.

To explain the Style structure, we can use a tree-structure, as shown in the following diagram:

KORG MicroARRANGER - THE STYLE'S STRUCTURE - 1

    U --> W["Intro 2"]
    V --> X["Fill 1"]
    V --> Y["Fill 2"]
    T --> Z["Ending1"]
    T --> AA["Ending2"]

Each Style Element is made up of smaller units, called Chord Variations (CV), but not all of them have the same number of CVs. Variations 1–4 have up to 6 CVs each, while the other Style Elements have only up to 2 CVs.

When you play on the chord recognition area (Lower, Upper or Full, depending on the Chord Scanning section on the control panel), the arranger scans the keyboard and determines which chord you are playing. Then, dependig on the selected Style Element, it determines which Chord Variation (CV) should be played for the scanned chord. Which Chord Variation corresponds to each scanned chord is a setting of the Style: the Chord Variation Table. Each Style Element contains a Cthor Variation Table, whose prototype is the following:

Chord Chord Variations (CVs)
Variation 1–4Intro 1–2, Fill 1–2, Ending 1–2
MajCV1 – CV6CV1 – CV2

no 3rd
no 3rd, no 5th

After deding what CV to play, the arranger triggers the right sequence for each track. Since each sequence is written in a particular key (for example, CMajor, GMajor or Emin), the arranger transposes it according to the scanned chord. Notes in the sequence are carefully transposed according to the Note Transpition Tables (NTT), to make them work fine with all recognized chords. The NTT allows you to record just some Chord Variations, and have all the notes play in the right place, avoiding dissonances and transposing the pattern notes to the notes of the recognized chord.

Going deeper into the Style structure, we can see that each Chord Variation is made up of Track Sequences, and the microARRANGER supports 8 different tracks. DRUM and PERC are used for drum and percussion sequences, BASS for bass and ACC1–5 are for accompaniment sequences (string, guitar, piano or other accompaniment instruments).

Just to summarize, when you play a chord on the chord recognition area, the arranger determines which Style Element is used, then determines which Chord Variation should be used for the played chord, then Style sequences for every track of that Chord Variation are transposed from the original chord to the recognized chord using the NTT, and so on every time you play a chord.

Note: The eaBand the Count In are not Style Elements, and cannot be programmed by the user. While in record/edit, the BREAK/COUNT IN button does not work.

What to record

Recording a Style is a matter of recording tracks, inside a series of Chord Variations, inside a series of Style Elements, inside the Style itself.

You don't need to record all Chord Variations for all Style Elements. It is often only necessary to record just a Chord Variation for each Style Element. Exceptions are the Intro 1 and Ending 1, where we suggest to record both a Major and minor Chord Variations.

STYLE IMPORT/EXPORT

You can use Korg's Style To Midi application to exchange Styles between your computer and the micro-ARRANGER, through the Standard MIDI File (format. The application is freely downloadable from http://www.korgpa.com/. Please read the included instructions.

ENTERING THE RECORD MODE

While in the Style Play operating mode, press RECORD. The following page will appear in the display:

- Select Current Style to edit the current Style. If it is a FactorStyle, you will not be able to save it on the original location; you will select a User Style instead.

When editing an existing Style, the original Style Performance is recalled, but the following parameters are reset to their default values: Drum Mapping (0), Snare & Kick Designation (Off), Program (Original), Keyboard Range (Original). This means that you can hear some differences between the Style in play and the same Style being edited; for example, resetting the Drum Mapping may lead to some instrument's replacement.

After editing the Style, please save it (see "Exit and Save/Abort Style" below). Then, edit the Style Performance to adjust the track's settings (Tempo, Volume, Pan, FX Send... see page 43 and following in the "Style Play operating mode" chapter) and save it by pressing the WRITE button.

- Select New Style to start from a new, empty Style. A default Style Performance will be recalled. When finished recording, you will save the new Style onto a User Style location.

After recording the Style, please save it (see “Exit and Save/Abort Style” below). Then, edit the Style Performance to adjust the track’s settings (Tempo, Volume, Pan, FX Send… see page 43 and following in the “Style Play operating mode” chapter) and save it by pressing the WRITE button.

Note: After a record or edit operation, the Style is rewritten in memory. When you press START/STOP there is a delay before you can actually listen to the Style. This delay is higher with a Style containing more MIDI events.

Note: While in Record mode, all footswitches are disabled.

LISTENING TO THE STYLE WHILE IN RECORD/EDIT MODE

While you are in Record/Edit mode, you can listen to the selected Chord Variation or to the whole Style, depending on the page you are in.

To select a Chord Variation, go to the Main page of the Record/Edit mode (see "E (Style Element)" and "CV (Chord Variation)" on page 55).

  • When you are in the Quantize, Transpose, Velocity, or Delete pages, you can listen to the selected Chord Variation. Press START/STOP to check how it works. Press START/STOP again to stop the playback.
  • When you are in the Delete All, Copy, Style Element Controls or Style Control pages, you can listen to the whole Style. Press START/STOP and play some chords to do your tests. Select any Style Element using the control panel buttons (VARIATION 1–4, INTRO 1–2, FILL 1–2, ENDING -2). Press START/STOP again to stop the playback.

Note: When this parameter and the assigned value is in small letters (cv:cv1), the Chord Variation is empty; when it is in capitals (CV:CV1), it is already recorded

SE:V1...V4 You can select one of 6 Chord Variations to edit.

SE:I1...E4 You can select one of 2 Chord Variations to edit.

R (Recording Mode)

This parameters lets you select between the Realtime and the Step recording modes. Use one of the E VOLUME/VALUE buttons and the F-3 function button to select this parameter. Ch ange its status using the E VOLUME/VALUE buttons, or the TEMPO/VALUE controls.

RT Realtime. This methods allows you to record in realtime each pattern of the Style.

Stp Step Record. This method allows you to enter the events one at a time. See “Style Record procedure” below for more information.

RL (Recording Length)

This parameter sets the recording length (in measures) of the selected track. Its value is always equal to, or a divider of, the Chord Variation Length (see next parameter).

This is not the total length of the Chord Variation, but just of the current track. For example, you may have a Chord Variation eight measures long, with a drum pattern repeating each two measures. If so, set the CV Len parameter to "8", and the RecLen parameter to "2" before starting recording the Drum track. When saving the Style, or executing any edit operation on the Style, the 2-measures pattern will be extended to the full 8-measures length of the Chord Variation.

Warning: If you assign CVLen a value lower than RecLen, the value of RecLen is not immediately updated in the display. Therefore, you are still free of changing the value of CVLen, before the measures exceeding its value are deleted (see warning in "CVLen (Chord Variation Length)" below).

However, if you press START/STOP to begin recording, the real RecLen value is changed to the new one, even if the display still shows the old value.

For example, you may have CVLen = 4 and RecLen = 4. If you set CVLen to 2, and press START/STOP to begin recording, RecLen is still shown as 4, but it is in reality set to 2, and recording will cycle for just 2 measures. After you press START/STOP to stop recording, RecLen is updated to 2, and all measures after the second measure are deleted.

CVLen (Chord Variation Length)

This parameter sets the total length (in measures) for the selected Chord Variation. When playing a Style, this will be the length of the accompaniment pattern to be cycled, when the chord corresponding to the Chord Variation is recognized on the keyboard.

Warning: If you reduce the Chord Variation Length after recording, any measure after the selected length will be deleted. Be very careful when setting the CVLen to a lower value after recording!

Metro (Metronome)

This is the metronome heard during recording.

Off No metronome click will be heard during recording. A one-bar precount will be played before starting recording.

On1 Metronome on, with a one-bar precount before starting recording.

On2 Metronome on, with a two-bar precount before starting recording.

Resol (Resolution)

This parameter sets the quantization during recording. ♪ (1/32) ♪ (1/8)

Grid resolution, in musical values. For example, when you select 1/16, all notes are moved to the nearest 1/16 division. When you select 1/8, all notes are moved to the nearest 1/8 division.

KORG MicroARRANGER - Resol (Resolution) - 1

text_image No quantization 1/16 1/8

Meter

This is the meter (time signature) of the Style. You can edit this parameter only when the Style is empty, i.e. before you begin recording anything.

Original Key/Chord

This is the track's original key and chord. Use the D VOLUME/VALUE buttons to select the line, and the F-1 and F-2 buttons to switch from the key/chord name and the key/chord type (Maj, min...).

When in Style Play mode, this chord will be played back exactly as it was recorded, without any NTT processing (see below). To record just one Chord Variation for a Style Element, the suggested original key/chord is "maj7". Be very careful to play the 7th+ note (i.e., with a "Cmaj7th" key/chord, the B), to avoid the lack of notes, or a bad NTT conversion when playing different chords. Note: To conform to Korg specifications, it is advisable to record both the "Major" and "minor" Chord Variations for the Intro 1 and Ending 1 Style Elements.

When you select a track, the original key/chord assigned to the selected track will be activated. All recorded tracks will play back on that key/chord. For example, if the original key/chord for the Acc1 track is A7th, when selecting the Acc1 tracks all the remaining tracks will play according to the A7th key/chord.

In the above example, you will record the Acc1 track in the AMajor key, with notes that will comply with the A7th chord. This is the pattern that will be recalled exactly as it was recorded, when playing an A7th chord.

Copying the Key/Chord value to all other tracks of the same Chord Variation. While in this page, you can keep the SHIFT button pressed, while pressing one of the [D]

VOLUME/ VALUE buttons, to copy the Key of the currently selected track to all other tracks of the same Chord Variation. This function is useful to speed-up pattern programming, and to avoid having different tracks in different keys within the same Chord Variation.

NTT

The Note Transposition Table (NTT) determines how the arranger will transpose pattern notes, when playing a chord that does not exactly match to the original chord of a Chord Variation. For example, if you only recorded a Chord Variation for the CMaj chord, when a CMaj7 is recognized on the keyboard the arranger must transpose some notes to create the missing 7th.

Note: To conform to Korg specifications, it is advisable to set the NTT to "No Transpose" on the Intro 1 and Ending 1.

Root The root note (in CMaj = C) is transposed to the missing notes.

5th The 5th note (in CMaj = G) is transposed to the missing notes.

i-Series All original patterns must be programmed on the “Maj7” or “min7” chords. When loading old Korg i-Series instruments, this option is automatically selected.

No Transp No transposition applied. The pattern will always play as recorded. This is the standard setting of Intro 1 and Ending 1 in Korg's original Styles.

STYLE RECORD PROCEDURE

There are two different methods for recording a Style: Realtime and Step.

• Realtime Recording allows you to record Style patterns in realtime.
- Step Recording allows you to create a new Style by entering the single notes or chords in each track. This is very useful when transcribing an existing score, or needing a higher grade of detail, and is particularly suitable to create drum and percussion tracks.

Preparing to record

  1. If you like to edit an existing Style, select that Style.
  2. Press RECORD to enter the Style Record mode. You are prompted to select either the Current Style, or a New Style.

  1. Use the A VOLUME/VALUE buttons, and the F-1 and F-2 function keys to select the E (Style Element) and CV (Chord Variation) parameter. Note: For more information on the Style Elements and Chord Variations, and the Style structure in general, see "The Style's structure" on page 52.
  2. Use the RL (Recording Length) parameter to set the length (in measures) of the pattern to step-record. Select this parameter using the E VOLUME/VALUE buttons and the F-4 function button. Use the TEMPO/VALUE controls to set the value.
  3. Use the Meter parameter to set the Style's meter. You can edit this parameter only if you selected the New Style option when entering the Record mode.
  4. Set the tempo. Keep the SHIFT button pressed, and use the TEMPO/VALUE controls to change the tempo.

  5. At this point, if you want to do a Realtime Recording go on reading "Realtime Record procedure" below. Otherwise, if you prefer to do a Step Record, jump to "Step Record procedure" on page 59.

Realtime Record procedure

  1. When still in the Main page of the Style Record mode, press one of the E VOLUME/VALUE buttons, to select the "R" parameter. Use these buttons, or the TEMPO/VALUE controls, to select the "RT" (Realtime) recording mode.

  1. If you like , you can set the tempo again from this an page: just use the TEMPO/VALUE controls.

  2. Assign a Program to each track, by using the PROGRAM/PERFORMANCE section.

  3. If needed, set the Octave Transpose for each track. Note: The Octave Transpose will affect only the notes coming from the keyboard, and not from the arranger.
  4. Select the track to put in record. Its status icon will begin flashing.

Note: When entering the Record mode, the last selected track is already in record. When you press START/STOP after entering the Record mode, you can immediately start recording.

If you like, you can try your part before recording:

  • Set the track in mute, by pressing both corresponding VOLUMVALUE buttons; the status icon disappears.
  • Press START/STOP to play back the other tracks, if already recorded, and practice on the keyboard.
  • When you have finished practicing, press START/STOP to stop the arranger, and unmute the track by pressing both VOLUME/VALUE buttons; the track will be in record again.

  • While the status icon is flashing, press START/STOP to begin recording. Depending on the "Metro" (metronome) option you selected, a 1- or 2-bars precount may play before the recording actually begins. When it begins, play freely. The pattern will last for some measures, according to the RecLen value, then restart.

Since the relog will happen in overdub, you can add notes on any following passage. This is

very useful to record different percussive instruments at any cycle on a Drum or Percussion track.

Note: While record the track's Keyboard Range (see page 68) is ignored, and the track can play over the whole keyboard range. The Local parameter (see "Local" on page 127) is also automatically set to On, to allow playing on the keyboard.

  1. When finished recording, press START/STOP to stop the arranger. Select a different track, and go on recording the whole Chord Variation.

Note: You can select a different track only when the arranger is not running.

  1. When finished recording the Chord Variation, select a different Chord Variation or Style Element to go on recording the whole Style.
  2. When finished recording the new Style, press WRITE or RECORD to save it in memory. The Write page will appear:

- To insert a single note, just play it on the keyboard. The inserted note length will match the step length. You may change the velocity and relative duration of the note, by editing the V (Velocity) and D (Duration) parameters. See “V (Velocity)” and “D (Duration)” on page 57.

  • To insert a rest, just press the REST button. Its length will match the step value.
  • To tie the note to be inserted to the previous one, press the TIE button. A note will be inserted, tied to the previous one, with exactly the same name. You don't need to play it on the keyboard again.
  • To insert a chord or a second voice, see "Chords and second voices in Step Record mode" below.

  • After inserting a new event, you may go back by 4. pressing the < button. This will delete the previsously inserted event, and set the step in edit again. 4.

  • When the end of the pattern is reached, the "End Loop" (End of Loop) event is shown in the first two lines of the display (a), and the recording restarts from the "M001.01.000" position. Any note exceeding the pattern length, inserted at its end, will be reduced to fit the total length of the pattern. At this point, you may go on, inserting new events in dub mode (the previously inserted events will not be deleted). This is very useful when recording a drum or percussion track, where you may want to record the bass drum on a first cycle, the snare drum on the second cycle, and the hi-hat and cymbals during the following cycles.

  • When finished recording, press START/STOP to turn off its LED. The Main page of the Style Record mode appears.

Chords and second voices in Step Record mode

With microARRANGER, you are not obliged to insert single notes in a track. There are several ways to insert chords and double voices. Lets look at some.

Inserting a chord. When the "key?" prompt appears in the display, play a chord instead of a single note. The event's name will be the first note of the chord you pressed, followed by the ..." marking.

C4, ... J: U:64 D:85%

Inserting a chord with notes with different velocity values. You can make the upper or lower note of a chord, for example, louder than the remaining ones, to make the most important note emerge from the chord. Here is how to insert a three-note chord:

  1. Edit the Velocity value of the first note.
  2. Press the first note and keep it pressed.
  3. Edit the Velocity value of the second note.
  4. Press the second note and keep it pressed. i5. Edit the Velocity va lue of the third note.

  5. Press the third note, then release all notes.

Inserting a second voice. You can insert passages where one note is kept pressed, and another voice moves freely.

Copying on a Chord Variation with a different length

You can copy a Chord Element on a different Chord Element with a different length. Just keep in mind the following:

- If the source length is a divider of the target length, the source Chord Variation will be multiplied to fit the target Chord Variation. For example, if the source is 4-measures long, and the target 8-measures, the source will be copied two times.

    A["1234"] --> B["12341234"]
    A --> C[" "]
    A --> D[" "]

- If the source length is not a divider of the target length, the source Chord Variation will be copied for as many measures as can fit the target Chord Variation. For example, if the source is 6-measures long, and the target 8-measures, the source will be copied once, then the fist 2 measures will be copied to fit the remaining 2 measures.

PAGE 11 - STYLE ELEMENT CONTROLS: KEYBOARD RANGE

The Keyboard Range automatically transposes any pattern note that would otherwise play too high or too low in pitch, compared to the original acoustic instrument, when transposed by the arranger. This will result in a more natural sound for each accompaniment instrument.

For example, the lower limit for a guitar is E2. If you play a chord under the E2, the transposed pattern could exceed this limit, and sound unnatural. A Bottom limit set to E2 for the guitar track will solve the problem.

M (Mode)

This setting harmonizes the notes of the Bass track or the Acc1-5 tracks to the new chord when the chord is changed.

Off

Each time you play a new chord, the current notes will be stopped. The track will remain silent until a new note will be encountered in the pattern.

Rt

(Retrigger) The sound will be stopped, and we notes matching the recognized chord will be played back.

Rp

(Repitch) New notes matching the recognized chord will be played back, by repitching notes already playing. There will be no break in the sound. This is very useful on Guitar and Bass tracks.

T (Tension)

Tension adds notes (a 9th, 11th and/or 13th) that have actually been played to the accompaniment, even if they haven't been written in the Style pattern. This parameter specifies whether or not the Tension included in the recognized chord will be added to the Acc1–5 tracks.

On

The Tension will be added.

OffNo Tension will

be added.

The Song Play operating mode is where you can listen to Songs (played directly from the card), and play along with the Song on the four Realtime (Keyboard) tracks (Upper 1–3, Lower). Since the microARRANGER is equipped with two onboard sequencers, you can play two Songs at the same time. This is very useful to mix between two Songs during a live performance.

THE SONGS AND THE STANDARD MIDI FILE FORMAT

The native Song file format of the microARRANGER is the Standard MIDI File (SMF), an universal standard set by all manufacturers. You can read these files with any musical instrument or computer.

A difference could be in the sound played by each track. If you recorded a Song with the microARRANGER (Song mode), using only General MIDI programs, you can play the same Song on virtually any other musical instrument or computer. If you used KORG native programs, you cannot reproduce the same sounds on instruments from other brands.

When you read SMFs in Song Play mode, there is no problem reading files made using only General MIDI sounds. Sounds could be different when playing a Song made on a different instrument: despite the wide compatibility of microARRANGER with other, non-standard formats, differences may arise.

If so, go to the Song operating mode and load the SMF. Then, manually reassign the non-matching Programs, replacing them with similar Programs on the microARRANGER. Then save the SMF again, and you will be able to play it in Song Play mode with the correct Programs.

TRANSPORT CONTROLS

You can use the separate transport controls for each of the two onboard sequencers. Use the SEQ1 controls for Sequencer 1, and SEQ2 controls for Sequencer 2. See "SEQUENCER TRANSPORT CONTROLS - SEQ1 and SEQ2" on page 18 for more information).

MIDI CLOCK

In Song Play mode the MIDI Clock is always generated by the internal sequencer, even if the Clock parameter is set to External (see "Clock" on page 127). microARRANGER transmits only the MIDI Clock message generated by Sequencer 1.

SWITCHING BETWEEN SEQUENCERS DURING EDITING

When you enter Edit mode, you can edit the selected sequencer's parameters. Go to the main page of Song Play mode, and select the S1 (A buttons) or S2 (B buttons) to select the sequencer you wish to edit (see "Main page" on page 73).

SELECTING A SONG COMPOSING ITS PROGRESSIVE NUMBER

Each Song on a card (up to 9,999) has a progressive number assigned. You can see this number before the Song's name in the Song Select page.

KORG MicroARRANGER - SELECTING A SONG COMPOSING ITS PROGRESSIVE NUMBER - 1

While in the Main, Song Select, or Lyrics page, the STYLE section doubles as a numeric keypad. You can use it for composing the 4-digit number corresponding to the Song you wish to select; the folder selected in the Song Select page will become the current folder. This way, you can speed up the Song retrieval.

Selecting a Song in the Song Select page

  1. Open the Song Select page.
  2. Select the card and open the folder containing the Song to be selected. This folder will be used also in the Main and Lyrics page.
  3. Compose the 4-digit number corresponding to the Song you wish to select (for example: if the Song is number "1043", dial 1, 0, 4, 3).

KORG MicroARRANGER - Selecting a Song in the Song Select page - 1

After the fourth digit has been inserted, the window automatically disappears, and the Song is selected.

  • If the Song number is just 1, 2 or 3-digit long, dial the number, then press ENTER to confirm (for example: if the Song is number "52", dial 5, 2, ENTER).
    Note: If no Song corresponds to the dialed number, the "Song not available" message appears. Press any button to make it disappear.

Selecting a Song in the Main page

While the S1 or S2 field is selected, compose the number corresponding to the Song you wish to select. The current folder is the one selected in the Song Select page.

Selecting a Song in the Lyrics page

Compose the number corresponding to the Song you wish to select. The current folder is the one selected in the Song Select page.

REALTIME AND SEQUENCER TRACKS

The microARRANGER is equipped with a double sequencer. Each Song can play a maximum of 16 tracks, for a total of 32 sequencer tracks.

In addition, you can play on the keyboard with four additional Realtime tracks (Upper 1–3 and Lower). You can edit the Volume, Mute status, and Program selection for these tracks on the main page of the Song Play mode.

When you enter Song Play mode from the Style Play mode, the Realtime tracks are the same as the Style Play mode. A quick way to select Programs and Effects for the Realtime tracks is choosing a different Performance.

MASTER VOLUME, SEQUENCER VOLUME, BALANCE

While the MASTER VOLUME slider controls the general volume of the instrument, you can use the ACC/SEQ VOLUME slider to control only the Sequencer's tracks volume. This lets you adjust the Sequencer's volume alone, while the Realtime (Keyboard) tracks are not affected by this slider.

Use the BALANCE slider to mix between Sequencer 1 and Sequencer 2. Move it to the center for the maximum volume of both sequencers.

EFFECTS IN SONG PLAY MODE

The microARRANGER is equipped with four effect processors, or DSPs (Digital Signal Processors). In Song Play mode you can have two or four effects at the same time, depending on the midfile you are reading.

Note: When playing back a Song that makes use of all four effects (AD), you can't edit any parameter devoted to the effects. These parameters appear greyed out in the display.

  • A Song created on the microARRANGER (in Song or Backing Sequence mode) can use up to 4 effects (usually 2 reverbs + 2 modulating effects); each track may use the A/B or C/D pair.
  • A Standard MIDI File will only use 2 effects (usually 1 reverb + 1 modulating effect). This lets you use the remaining 2 effects for the Realtime tracks.
  • When using both sequencers at the same time, and the "S2 FX Mode" is set to "A/B Mode" (see page 80), they only use the A/B pair, while the C/D pair is reserved to the Realtime (keyboard tracks).
  • When using both sequencers at the same time, and the "S2 FX Mode" is set to "C/D Mode" (see page 80), Sequencer 1 uses the A/B pair, while Sequencer 2 uses the C/D pair, sharing it with the Realtime (keyboard tracks).

You can apply a realtime “groove-quantization” to Sequencer 1. Groove-quantization is a way of changing the music groove during the playback, moving notes to the nearest axis of a rhythmic “grid”. Please feel free to experiment: this function is a great source of musical invention.

While in Song Play, press G.QUANTIZE. The following window will appear.

KORG MicroARRANGER - EFFECTS IN SONG PLAY MODE - 1

NStart (Note Start)

Enables/disables the quantization of the Note On event (i.e. beginning of the note).

NDurat (Note Duration)

Enables/disables the quantization of the Note Off event (i.e. the length of the note).

Res (Resolution)

Coarse quantize grill resolution. This parameter is the main quantization value, to be varied with the Acc, Swing and Window values.

Grid resolution, in musical values (a “3” after the value means “triplet”). For example, when you select 1/8, all notes are moved to the nearest 1/8 division. When you select 1/4, all notes are moved to the nearest 1/4 division.

KORG MicroARRANGER - Res (Resolution) - 1

text_image No quantization 1/8 1/4

Acc (Accuracy)

Accuracy percentage of quantize. For example, if Acc=50, and the note is 20 tics away from the coarse grid, it is moved to the grid of only 10 tics.

0 No accuracy. The quantize is not executed. 100 Maximum accuracy. The note is moved exactly at the grid position.

THE WRITE WINDOW

You can save onto the internal memory a Seq1+Seq2 Setup. There is a separate Setup for each of the two onboard sequencers.

This Setup memorizes the Internal FX settings, the Internal/External status of each track, and the Play/Mute status of each track. When a new Song is selected,

the saved Setup is automatically recalled, and all parameters are reset.

  • Globally setting the Internal FX parameters allows you, for example, to assign to all Songs a Reverb suitable for the venue where you are performing, without having to modify any of the Songs. (This is true only for non-microARRANGER/80 Songs).
    • G 1 o tting the Internal/External status allows you, for example, to send the Piano track of all Songs to a dedicated expander (just set globally the Piano track to the External mode).
  • The Play/Mute status allows you to globally mute tracks that you don't want to play during a show, for example the melody track. (This is ture only for non-microARRANGER/80 Songs).

For more information on the Internal FX settings for the Song Play mode, see "Page 3 - Mixer: FX send A/B" or "Page 3 - Mixer: FX send C/D", and following, on page 76.

Here is the procedure to save the Seq1+Seq2 Setup in memory.

SAVING A LIST OF SONGS

How to save a list of Songs contained in a folder

  1. Press SONG PLAY to select the Song Play operative mode.
  2. Press one of the A (S1:) VOLUME/VALUE button to select the Load Song page.
  3. Use the F-3 (OPEN) and F-4 (CLOSE) buttons to browse through the folders inside the card.
  4. Move the folder you are looking for to the first line of the display. Use the TEMPO/VALUE controls, or the E-F (Scroll Up) and G-H (Scroll Down) VOLUME/VALUE buttons.
  5. Once the folder is selected, press SHIFT + F-2.
    6.A di alog box will appear, asking you to insert a new card into the card slot. Insert the card, and press ENTER to confirm, or EXIT to abort.

Note: The text file will contain a list of "*.mid", "*.kar" and "*.jbx" files only (i.e., the files you can select using the numeric keypad – see "Selecting a Song composing its progressive number" on page 70). Folders and different kinds of files will not be included.

When sed , the text file will be named after the selected folder. For example, a folder named "Dummy" will generate a "Dummy.txt" file. If a file with the same name already exists on the card, it will be overwritten without waiting for any confirmation. A file containing the list of all valid files contained into the root of the card will generate a "Root.txt" file.

The list will include the progressive number assigned to each Song, file names in MS-DOS format (8.3), the total number of files in the list.

For the correct display and printing of the list on a personal computer, use a fixed size (i.e., non-proportional) character in your text editor.

Warning: While the list may contain more than 9999 files, you can't select Songs outside the 0001–9999 range when using the numeric keypad.

How to save a list of Songs contained in a Jukebox file

  1. Press SONG PLAY to select the Song Play operative mode.
  2. To select an existing Jukebox file, press one of the A (B) VOLUME/VALUE buttons to select the Load Song page.
    If you are creating a new Jukebox file, press MENU instead, select the Jukebox page, and jump to step 7.
  3. Use the F-3 (OPEN) and F-4 (CLOSE) buttons to browse through the folders inside the card.
  4. Move the folders and files to select to the first line of the display. Use the TEMPO/VALUE controls, or the E-F (Scroll Up) and G-H (Scroll Down) VOLUME/VALUE buttons.
  5. When the Jukebox file you are looking for is selected, press F-2 (SELECT) to select it.
  6. Once the Jukebox file is selected, press MENU and select the Jukebox page.
  7. While you are in the Jukebox page, press SHIFT + F-2 to save the list.
  8. A dialog box will appear, asking you to insert a new card into the card slot. Insert the card, and press ENTER to confirm, or EXIT to abort.

Note: When saved, the text file will be named after the selected Jukebox file. For example, a Jukebox file named "Dummy.jbx" will generate a "Dummy.txt" file. A new, unnamed Jukebox file will generate a "New_name.txt" file. If a file with the same name already exists on the card, it will be overwritten without waiting for any confirmation.

The list will include the progressive number assigned to each Song, file names in MS-DOS format (8.3), the total number of files in the list.

For the correct display and printing of the list on a personal computer, use a fixed size (i.e., non-proportional) character in your text editor.

The Backing Sequence mode lets you record a live performance with the Styles. The front panel controls work mostly as in Style Play mode, but here you are recording what you are playing. After recording, the result is a new Song made of the Realtime tracks and the Style tracks.

TRANSPORT CONTROLS

When in Backing Sequence mode, use SEQ1 transport controls (PLAY/STOP, PAUSE...). See "SEQUENCER TRANSPORT CONTROLS - SEQ1 and SEQ2" on page 18 for more information).

The Backing Sequence and Song modes are linked together: go to Backing Sequence mode to record a Song, and switch to Song mode to edit it.

Since they use the same sequencer and memory area, recording a new Song in Backing Sequence mode deletes the Song loaded in Song mode.

Note: The Song is kept in RAM, so save it before turning the instrument off, or it will be lost.

Warning: When switching to Song Play, the Song is deleted, since Backing Sequence, Song and Song Play share the same sequencer (Sequencer 1). The "Erase Song?" message appears. Press ENTER to confirm, EXIT to stay in Backing Sequence mode, and avoid deleting the Song.

  3. Select the status of the Backing Sequence tracks, using the G (RT) and H (Ch/Acc) button pairs. (RT stays for Realtime/Keyboard; Ch/Acc stays for Chord/Accompaniment, i.e. the Style tracks). To record all you play on the keyboard, plus the automatic accompaniment, leave their status to REC (see "Realtime Recording page" on page 85).

Warning: Tracks set to REC are automatically deleted when starting recording. Set a track to the PLAY status, when you don't want to delete it. For example, if you are recording a Realtime (Keyboard) part on and existing Style track, set the Ch/Acc parameter to PLAY, and the RT track to REC.

  1. Start recording by pressing the left PLAY/STOP button (or the START/STOP button). After a count-in (see "Metro (Metronome)" on page 85), you can start recording.

Play a solo intro, or start the auto-accompaniment with the START/STOP button. To start with the Style playing right from bar 1, keep the chord pressed during the precount, and press START/STOP before the end of the precount. Otherwise, the Style will start playing from the next bar, following the one where you pressed START/STOP.

Since you can use any Style control, you could start with the usual combinations (INTRO, ENDING, FILL... see "Playing a Style (Automatic Accompaniment)" on page 27 for more information).

Note: While in Backing Sequence mode, you can't record the SYNCHRO, FADE IN/OUT, TAP TEMPO/RESET, ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME controls.

  1. Play your music. You can even stop the Style by pressing START/STOP. If you stop the Style while recording, start it again with the START/STOP button.
  2. When finished recording your performance, press the left PLAY/STOP button. The RECORD LED will turn off, and you will go back to the Playback page (see "How to playback a Song" before).
    The recorded Song will be automatically converted to the Standard MIDI File format.
  3. At this point, you can edit the Song in Song mode (see "Song operating mode" on page 88), or save it to a card (see "Save Song page" on page 84).
    Warning: The recorded Song is in RAM (Random Access Memory), and will be deleted when turning the instrument off, or entering Record again (either in Backing Sequence or Song mode). Save the Song to the card, if you wish to preserve it.

CHORD/ACC STEP RECORDING

While in the Backing Sequence operative mode, you can enter the Chord/Acc Step Mode to create or edit the Style (Chord/Acc) part of a Song. This mode lets you enter chords even if you are not a keyboard player, or fix any error made playing chords or selecting Style controls, during the Realtime Recording mode.

You can edit only Songs created on the microAR-RANGER, Pa50, Pa60 or Pa80 (Backing Sequence mode), provided that you have the same Styles in the same locations. When saving a Song created in Backing Sequence mode, all Chord/Acc data is preserved, and can be loaded later, to be edited using the Chord/Acc Step Mode.

Here is how to enter the Chord/Acc Step Mode, and execute your editing:

  1. Press B.SEQ to enter the Backing Sequence mode.
  2. Press RECORD. You will be prompted to select the Realtime Recording mode or the Chord/Acc Step Mode.

SE (Style Element)

This is the Style Element (i.e., a Variation, Fill, Intro, or Ending). The length of the selected Style Element is always shown on the measure counter, at the top of the display:

KORG MicroARRANGER - SE (Style Element) - 1

This will let you know where to place the following Style Element Change. For example, if you inserted an Intro event lasting for 4 measures, you can insert 4 empty measure after this event, and a Variation event at the end of the Intro, beginning at the 4th empty measure.

"Off" means that the accompaniment will not play at the setted position - only the Realtime tracks will play.

Hint: Insert a Style Element Off event exactly where the auto-accompaniment must stop, at the end of the Song.

Chord

To transpose a Song it is advisable to use the Edit-Transpose function; you can access this function by pressing the MENU button and one of the E VOLUME/VALUE buttons (see "Page 18 - Edit: Transpose" on page 100).

You may also lock the Master Transpose for various tracks, to avoid unwanted transposition. See "Page 2 - Master Transpose" on page 126 of the Global chapter.

As a general rule, you should use the Master Transpose (TRANSPOSE buttons on the control panel) when you need to transpose the Realtime tracks together with the Song. You should use the Edit-Transpose function (Song Edit mode) when only the Song has to be transposed.

Note: The Master Transpose value is always shown in the upper right corner of the display:

Resol (Resolution)

Use this parameter to set the quantization during recording. Quantization is a way of correcting timing errors; notes played too soon or too later are moved to the nearest axis of a rhythmic "grid", set with this parameter, thus playing perfectly in time.

Hi No quantization applied.

(1/32)... (1/8)

Grid resolution, in musical values. For example, when you select 1/16, all notes are moved to the nearest 1/16 division. When you select 1/8, all notes are moved to the nearest 1/8 division.

Parameters

Drum

This is a Drum/Percussion track. No Master or Octave Transpose applies to this track. You can set a different volume for each class of percussive instruments ("Page 14 - Track: Easy edit" on page 98).

Poly Tracks of this kind are polyphonic, i.e. they can play more than one note at the same time.

Mono Tracks of this kind are monophonic, i.e. each new note stops the previous note.

Mono Right A Mono track, but with priority assigned to the rightmost (highest) note.

PAGE 16 - TRACK: INTERNAL/EXTERNAL

This page lets you set the Internal or External status for each track. It is very useful to let a Song track drive an external expander.

Parameters

Internal

The track plays the sounds generated by the internal sound engine. It does not play an external instrument connected to the MIDI OUT.

External

The track plays an external instrument connected to the MIDI OUT. It does not play the internal sounds, thus saving polyphony.

When a track is set to "External", a strings of transmit Control Change and Program Change data is shown instead of the Program nam assigned to the track. In the following example, CC#0 is the Control Change 0 (Bank Select MSB), CC#32 is the Control Change 32 (Bank Select LSB), PC is the Program Change.

KORG MicroARRANGER - Parameters - 1

Both

The track plays both the internal sounds and an external instrument connected to the MIDI OUT.

Note: Some manufacturers could use the 1–128 numbering system; when connecting your microARRANGER to an instrument of this kind, increment the PC value by 1 unit.

Effects

In Program mode, the Program uses its own effects instead of relying on A–D effects. Two effect processors (FX1 and FX2) are available.

The MIDI channel

In Program mode, microARRANGER receives and transmits on the same channel of the Upper 1 track. If the Global channel is assigned, notes can be received also on this channel. See "Page 6 - MIDI IN Channels" on page 127 and "Page 10 - MIDI OUT Channels" on page 129 for more information.

SOUND PROGRAMS AND DRUM PROGRAMS

microARRANGER features two different kinds of Programs:

  • Sound Programs. These are normal instrument Programs, like pianos, strings, basses.
  • Drum Programs. These are drum and percussion kits, where each note of the keyboard is a different percussive instrument. You can find Drum Programs in the DRUM KIT and USER DK banks.

Before pressing MENU to enter the edit environment, you should select a Program of the type you wish to edit or create.

Notes pointing to special Drum Program features are marked by the DRUM icon.

KORG MicroARRANGER - PAGE 1 - BASIC - 1

text_image chord tempo transpose C 0 oclave Basic program Oscillators: 21 Mode: Poly Single Trigger: No Legato: No↓

Oscillators

Use this parameter to specify the basic Program type; whether it will use one or more oscillators (up to four).

DRUM Drum Programs use only one oscillator.

1...4 Number of oscillators the Program will use. The total amount of polyphony varies depending on the number of oscillators used by the Program (a maximum of 62 with only 1 oscillator, or a maximum of 15 with 4 oscillators).

Mode

This is the polyphonic mode of the Program.

Poly The Program will play polyphonically, allowing you play chords.

Mono The Program will play monophonically, producing only one note at a time.

Single Trigger

This parameter is available when the "Mode" parameter is set to Poly.

YesW then the same note is played repeatedly, the previous note will be silenced before the next note is sounded, so that the notes do not overlap.

No When the same note is played repeatedly, the previous note will not be silenced before the next note is sounded.

Legato

This parameter is available when the "Mode" parameter is set to Mono.

Yes Legato is on. When multiple note-on's occur, the first note-on will retrigger the sound, and the second and subsequent note-on's will not retrigger. When legato is on, multiple note-on's will not retrigger the voice. If one note is already on and another note is turned on, the first voice will continue sounding. The oscillator sound, envelope, and LFO will not be reset, and only the pitch of the oscillator will be updated. This setting effective for wind instrument sounds and analog synth-type sounds.

No Legato is off. Notes will always be retriggered when note-on occurs. When legato is off, multiple note-on's will retrigger the voice at each note-on. The

oscillator sound, envelope, and LFO will be reset (and retriggered) according to the settings of the Program.

Note: If "Legato" is On, certain multisamples or keyboard locations may produce an incorrect pitch.

Priority

This parameter is available when the "Mode" parameter is set to Mono. It specifies which note will be given priority to play when two or more notes are played simultaneously.

Low Lowest note will take priority.

High Highest note will take priority.

Last Last note will take priority.

PAGE 2 - SAMPLE (SOUND PROGRAMS)

The multisample(s) (waveform) on which the Program will be based can be selected here for each of the four oscillators. Each oscillator can use 1 or 2 multisamples, each one assigned to the High or Low layer.

KORG MicroARRANGER - PAGE 2 - SAMPLE (SOUND PROGRAMS) - 1

text_image chord temps - transpose C 0 octave Samples |Osc1 page Selected: Osc1# MS Hi Bank/Num: ROM L)AcousticPiano 0 [H] Reverse: No↓

The internal Flash-ROM contains 340 different multisamples (preset multisamples).

Selected

Use this parameter to select an oscillator to put in edit. Alternatively, you can select oscillators using the F-1–F-4 buttons.

MS Hi/Lo Bank/Num

Use these parameters to select a different multisample for each of the High and Low layers. You can use velocity to switch between the two multisamples. Reverse, Offset and Level can be adjusted independently for the High and Low multisamples.

The first line shows the bank (ROM), while the second line is for selecting the multisample. The Program number appears at the end of the second line.

The multisample you select for the High layer will be triggered by velocities higher than the value of the "Velocity Switch" parameter (see page 108). If you do not wish to use velocity switching, set the switch to a value of 001, and select only the High multisample.

Note: Each multisample has an upper limit, and may not produce sound when played above that limit.

[H/L] Reverse

The multisample will be played in reverse. In the case of Flash-ROM multisamples that were originally specified to loop, the multisample will be played back in "one-shot" reverse mode. If the multisample was originally set to reverse, it will playback without change.

Yes The multisample will playback in reverse.

No The multisample will play back normally.

[H/L] Use Offset

These parameters specify the point where the multisample(s) will begin to play. For some multisamples this parameter will not be available.

NoThe sound will start from the beginning of the multisample waveform.

[H/L] Level

These parameters specify the level of each multisample.

0...127Multisample level.

Note: Depending on the multisample, high settings of this parameter may cause the sound to distort when a chord is played. If this occurs, lower the level.

Velocity Switch

This is the velocity value dividing the High and Low layers for the selected oscillator. Notes struck harder than this value will be played by the High multisample.

V-Zone Top/Bottom (Velocity Zone)

Here you can specify the velocity range for the selected oscillator.

Note: You cannot set the Bottom Velocity higher than the Top Velocity, nor the Top Velocity lower than the Bottom Velocity. 0...127 Assigned velocity.

-2...+1Octave transposition.

Transpose

Use this parameter to adjust the pitch of the selected oscillator in semitone steps over a range of ±1 octave.

-12...+12 Transposition in semitones.

Tune

Use this parameter to adjust the pitch of the sample in one-cent steps (a semitone is 100 cents) over a range of ±1 octave.

-1200...+1200

Fine-tune value in cents.

Delay (ms)

This parameter sets a delay time from the note-on to the real beginning of the sound. With a setting of KeyOff, the sound will begin when note-off occurs. This is useful to create sounds such as the "click" that is heard when a harpsichord note is released. In this case, set the "Sustain Level" parameter to 0 (see page 115).

Key Off The sound will begin when the note is released.

0...5000 Delay time in milliseconds.

[H/L] Attack

These parameters are an offset to the selected sample's EG Attack.

[H/L] Decay

These parameters are an offset to the selected sample's EG Decay.

Velocity Switch

This is the velocity value dividing the High and Low layers for the selected sample/key. Notes stricken harder than this value will be played by the High multisample.

Single Trigger

Use this parameter to set the sample as a single-triggered one.

Yes When the same key (note) is played repeatedly, the previous note will be stopped before the new note is triggered, so that they will not overlap.

No When the same key (note) is played repeatedly, the previous note will not be stopped before the new note is triggered.

Receive Note On

Use this parameter to enable/disable the reception of the Note On (Key On) message.

Yes The Note On message is normally received.

No The Note On message is not received.

Therefore, the corresponding key is muted.

Receive Note Off

Use this parameter to enable/disable the reception of the Note Off (Key Off) message.

Yes The sound will stop as soon as you release the key.

No The sound will continue playing up to the end of the sample. The Note Off message is ignored.

Warning: If the "Single Trigger" parameter is set to No, and the sound is looped, the sound will y endlessly. In an "emergency" situation, use the Panic command (see "START/STOP" on page 14).

Exclusive Group

Exclusive Groups are sets of mutually exclusive keys, stopping each other. For example, if the Open Hi-Hat and Closed Hi-Hat are assigned the same Exclusive Group, playing an Open Hi-Hat will stop the Closed Hi-Hat playing.

None No Exclusive Group assigned. The selected key will not be stopped by any other key.

1...127 Exclusive Groups assigned to the selected key. When you play this key, all other keys assigned to the same Exclusive Group will be stopped, and this key will be stopped by other keys assigned to the same Exclusive Group.

PAGE 3 - PITCH

Here you can make pitch settings for each oscillator. These settings specify how keyboard location will affect the pitch of each oscillator, and select the controllers that will affect the oscillator pitch and specify the depth of control. You can also specify the amount of pitch change produced by the Pitch EG and by LFO1 and LFO2, switch portamento on/off and specify how it will apply.

KORG MicroARRANGER - PAGE 3 - PITCH - 1

Selected

Use this parameter to select an oscillator to put in edit. Alternatively, you can select oscillators using the F-1–F-4 buttons.

Slope

Normally you will leave this parameter at +1.0. Positive (+) values will cause the pitch to rise as you play higher notes, and negative (−) values will cause the pitch to fall as you play higher notes.

With a value of 0, there will be no change in pitch, and the C4 pitch will sound regardless of the keyboard location you play.

The diagram shows how the Pitch Slope and pitch are related:

-1.0...+2.0 Pitch slope value.

JS (+X)

This parameter specifies how the pitch will change when the joystick is moved all the way to the right. A setting of 12 produces 1 octave of change.

For example if you set this to +12 and move the joystick all the way to the right, the pitch will rise one octave above the original pitch.

-60...+12 Maximum pitch change in semitones.

JS (-X)

This parameter specifies how the pitch will change when the joystick is moved all the way to the left. A setting of 12 produces 1 octave of change.

For example, if you set this to -60 and move the joystick all the way to the left, the pitch will fall five octaves below the original pitch. This can be used to simulate the downward swoops that a guitarist produces using the tremolo arm.

-60...+12 Maximum pitch change in semitones.

Pitch modulation

AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)

This parameter selects the source that will modulate the pitch of the selected oscillator. See “AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list” on page 123.

Intensity

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect produced by "AMS". With a setting of 0, no modulation will be applied. With a setting of 12.00, the pitch will change up to one octave.

For example, if you set "AMS" to Joystick +Y and push the joystick, the pitch will rise if this parameter is set to a positive (+) value, or fall if this parameter is set to a negative (−) value. The range is a maximum of one octave. -12.00...+12.00

Parameter value.

Pitch EG modulation

EG Intensity

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the modulation that the pitch EG specified on "Page 6 - Pitch EG" will apply to the pitch. With a setting of 12.00, the pitch will change a maximum of ±1 octave. -12.00...+12.00

Paramet er value.

EG AMS (EG Alternate Modulation Source)

This parameter selects the source that will modulate the pitch EG of the selected oscillator. See “AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list” on page 123).

Intensity (AMS Intensity)

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect that "AMS" will have. For example, if you set "AMS" to Velocity and set this value to +12.00, the velocity will control the range of pitch change produced by the pitch EG in a range of ±1 octave. As you play more softly, the pitch change will draw closer to the pitch EG levels.

Portamento

Portamento

This parameter turns the portamento effect (smooth change in pitch from one note to the next) on/off, and specifies how it will be applied.

Note: Portamento will also be switched when CC#65 (Portamento SW) is received.

On Portamento will be applied.

Off Portamento will not be applied.

Portamento Time

This parameter sets the portamento time. Increasing the value will produce a slower change in pitch.

Selected

Use this parameter to select an oscillator to put in edit. Alternatively, you can select oscillators using the F-1–F-4 buttons.

Intensity

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the pitch modulation applied by the LFO1 settings you made on "Page 17 - LFO1". With a setting of 12.00, a maximum of ±1 octave of pitch modulation will be applied. Negative (−) values will invert the LFO waveform.

-12.00...+12.00

Intensity depth and direction.

JS+Y (JoyStick +Y)

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect that joystick movement in the +Y direction (away from yourself) will have on the pitch modulation applied by the LFO1.

As this value is increased, moving the joystick in the +Y direction will cause the LFO1 to produce deeper pitch modulation. With a setting of 12.00 a maximum of ±1 octave of pitch modulation will be applied. Negative (−) values will invert the LFO waveform.

-12.00...+12.00

Joystick action depth.

Pitch LFO1 'Level' modulation

AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)

This parameter selects the source that will control the depth of pitch modulation produced by the LFO1. See "AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list" on page 123.

Intensity

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect that "AMS" will have. With a setting of 0, modulation will not be applied. With a setting of 12.00, the LFO1 will apply a maximum of ± 1 octave of pitch modulation. Negative (-) settings will invert the LFO waveform.

For example if "AMS" is set to Joystick +Y and push the joystick, a positive (+) setting of this parameter will cause the pitch modulation created by LFO1 to be applied with the normal phase, and a negative (−) setting will cause the LFO to be applied with inverted phase.

The "LFO1 Intensity", "JS+Y" and "AMS" settings will be added to determine the depth and direction of the pitch modulation applied by LFO1.

These parameters specify the amount of pitch change. The actual amount of pitch change will depend on the "Intensity (AMS1/2 Intensity)" parameter (see below). For example, with an "Intensity" setting of +12.00, a "Level" setting of +99 would raise the pitch one octave, and a "Level" setting of -99 would lower the pitch one octave.

Start Level

Specifies the amount of pitch change at note-on.

Attack Level

Specifies the amount of pitch change when the attack time has elapsed.

Release Level

Specifies the amount of pitch change when the release time has elapsed.

Attack/Decay/Release Time

These parameters specify the time over which the pitch change will occur.

0...99Parameter value.

Attack Time

Specifies the time over which the pitch will change from note-on until it reaches the pitch specified as the attack level.

Decay Time

Specifies the time over which the pitch will change after reaching the attack level until it reaches the normal pitch.

AMS1/2 (L) (Alternate Modulation Source 1/2)

These parameters select the source that will control the pitch EG "Level" parameters ("AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list" on page 123).

Intensity (AMS1/2 Intensity)

These parameters specify the depth and direction of the effect applied by "AMS1". With a setting of 0, the levels specified by "Start/Attack/Decay/Release Level" will be used.

For example if "AMS1" is Joystick +Y, pushing the joystick to turn it on will change the "Level" parameters of the Pitch EG. As the absolute value of "Intensity" is increased, the pitch EG levels will change more greatly when the joystick is released. The direction of the change is specified by "Start Level Swing" and "Attack Level Swing". When the key pressure is released, the pitch EG levels will return to their own settings.

If "AMS1" is set to Velocity, increasing the absolute value of "Intensity" will produce increasingly wider change in pitch EG levels for strongly-played notes. The direction of the change is specified by "Start Level Swing" and "A ck Level Swing". As you play more softly, the pitch change will draw closer to the pitch EG levels.

-99...+99Parameter value.

Start Level Swing

This parameter specifies the direction of change in "Start Level" caused by "AMS1/2". If "Intensity" is a positive (+) value, a setting of + will raise the EG level, and a setting of - will decrease it. With a setting of 0 there will be no change.

Attack Level Swing

This parameter specifies the direction of change in "Attack Level" caused by "AMS1/2". If "Intensity" is a positive (+) value, a setting of + will raise the EG level, and a setting of - will decrease it. With a setting of 0 there will be no change.

AMS(T) (Alternate Modulation Source)

This parameter selects the source that will control the "Time" parameters of the pitch EG (see "AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list" on page 123).

Intensity (AMS(T) Intensity)

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect that "AMS" will have on the "Time" parameters. With a setting of 0, the pitch EG times will be just as specified by the "Attack/Decay/Release Time" settings.

The alternate modulation value at the moment that the EG reaches each point will determine the actual value of the EG time that comes next.

For example, the decay time will be determined by the alternate modulation value at the moment that the attack level is reached.

When this parameter is set to values of 16, 33, 49, 66, 82, or 99, the specified EG times will speed up as much as 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 times respectively (or slowed down to 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, or 1/64 of the original time).

For example if "AMS" is set to Velocity, increasing the absolute value of "Intensity" will allow strongly-played notes to increase the changes in pitch EG "Time" values. The direction of the change is specified by "Attack Time Swing" and "Decay Time Swing". As you play more softly, the pitch EG times will more closely approach the actual settings of the pitch EG.

-99...+99 Parameter value.

Attack Time Swing

This parameter specifies the direction in which "AMS" will affect the "Attack Time" parameter. With positive (+) values of "Intensity", a setting of + will cause the time to be lengthened, and a setting of - will cause the time to be shortened. With a setting of 0 there will be no change.

Decay Time Swing

Specify the direction in which "AMS" will affect the "Decay Time". With positive (+) values of "Intensity", a setting of + will cause the time to be lengthened, and a setting of - will cause the time to be shortened. With a setting of 0 there will be no change.

PAGE 7 - FILTER

Here you can make settings for the filters that will be used by the oscillators. You can select either a 24 dB/octave low pass filter with resonance, or a series connection of a 12 dB/octave low pass filter and a 12 dB/octave high pass filter.

This parameter specifies the cutoff frequency of filter A.

KORG MicroARRANGER - Frequency A (Cutoff Frequency A) - 1

line | Frequency | Level | | --------- | ----- | | Low Pass | 12dB/oct | | High | 24dB/oct |

This is a filter that cuts the high-frequency region above the cutoff frequency. This is the most common type of filter, and is used to cut part of the overtone components, making an originally bright timbre sound more mellow (darker). When the "Filter Type" is Low Pass Resonance, the cutoff will have a steeper slope.

00...99 Cutoff frequency value.

Resonance A

The resonance emphasizes the overtone components that lie in the region of the cutoff frequency specified by "Frequency", producing a more distinctive sound. Increasing this value will produce a stronger effect.

AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)

Selects the source that will control the "Resonance" level. See "AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list" on page 123.

Intensity (AMS Intensity)

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect that "AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)" will have on the resonance level specified by "Resonance A".

For example if Velocity has been selected, changes in keyboard velocity will affect the resonance.

With positive (+) values, the resonance will increase as you play more strongly, and as you play more softly the resonance will approach the level specified by the "Resonance" setting.

With negative (−) values, the resonance will decrease as you play more strongly, and as you play more softly the resonance will approach the level specified by the "Resonance" setting.

Filter keyboard tracking

Tracking Low/High

These settings specify keyboard tracking for the cutoff frequency of the filter for the selected oscillator. The way in which the cutoff frequency is affected by the keyboard location you play can be specified by the "Tracking Low", "Tracking High", "Ramp Low" and "Ramp High" parameters.

C-1...G9L lowest/Highest note in the range.

Tracking Low

Keyboard tracking will apply to the range below the specified note number.

Tracking High

Keyboard tracking will apply to the range above the specified note number.

Ramp

This parameter specifies the angle of keyboard tracking. -99...+99Angle value.

Here is how cutoff frequency is affected by keyboard location and the Ramp setting ("Intensity to A" and "Intensity to B" = +50):

KORG MicroARRANGER - Ramp - 1

line | Low Ramp | High Ramp | | -------- | --------- | | +99 | +99 | | +43 | +62 | | 0 | 0 | | -43 | -43 | | -99 | -99 |

Ramp Low

Ramp High

If "Intensity to A" and "Intensity to B" are set to +50, "Ramp Low" is set to -62 and "Ramp High" is set to +62, the angle of the change in cutoff frequency will correspond to the keyboard location (pitch). This means that the oscillation that occurs when you increase the "Resonance A" will correspond to the keyboard location.

If you set "Ramp Low" to +43 and "Ramp High" to -43, the cutoff frequency will not be affected by keyboard location. Use this setting when you do not want the cutoff frequency to change for each note.

Tracking to A/B

These parameters specify the note numbers at which keyboard tracking will begin to apply, and set the "Intensity to A" and "Intensity to B" parameters to specify the depth and direction of the change applied to filters A and B.

For the range of notes between "Key Low" and "Key High", the cutoff frequency will change according to the keyboard location (pitch).

Specifies the depth and direction of the effect that "AMS1" will have.

When "AMS1" is JS X, a positive (+) value for this parameter will cause the cutoff frequency to rise when the joystick is moved toward the right, and fall when the joystick is moved toward the left. With a negative (−) value for this parameter, the opposite will occur.

This value is added to the setting of the Filter A "Frequency".

Random The sound will be heard from a different location at each note-on.

L001 Places the sound at far left.

C064 Places the sound in the center.

R127 Places the sound to far right.

Note: This can be controlled by CC#10 (panpot). A CC#10 value of 0 or 1 will place the sound at the far left, a value of 64 will place the sound at the location specified by the "Pan" setting for each oscillator, and a value of 127 will place the sound at the far right. This is controlled on the global MIDI channel.

Pan modulation

AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)

Selects the source that will modify pan (see "AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list" on page 123). This change will be relative to the "Pan" setting.

Intensity

Specifies the depth of the effect produced by "AMS". For example, if "Pan" is set to C064 and "AMS" is Note Number, positive (+) values of this parameter will cause the sound to move toward the right as the note numbers increase beyond the C4 note (i.e., as you play higher), and toward the left as the note numbers decrease (i.e., as you play lower). Negative (−) values of this parameter will have the opposite effect.

EG AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)

Selects the source that will control the volume of the amp for the selected oscillator (See "AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list" on page 123). "Velocity" cannot be selected.

Intensity

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect that "AMS" will have. The actual volume will be determined by multiplying the value of the changes produced by the amp EG with the values of Alternate Modulation etc., and if the levels of the amp EG are low, the modulation applied by Alternate Modulation will also be less.

For example, if "AMS" is set to Joystick +Y, positive (+) values of this parameter will cause the volume to increase when you push the joystick. However if the EG settings etc. have already raised the volume to its maximum level, the volume cannot be increased further.

With negative (−) values of this parameter, the volume will decrease when the joystick is pushed.

The direction of the change is specified by "Attack Time Swing", "Decay Time Swing", "Slope Time Swing", and "Release Time".

When “AMS1(T)” is Velocitpositive (+) values will cause EG times to lengthen as you play more strongly, and negative (−) values will cause EG times to shorten as you play more strongly. With a setting of 0, the EG times will be as specified by the “Amp envelope” parameters (see page 119).

With a setting of 0 there will be no effect.

Slope Time Swing

This parameter specifies the direction of the effect that "AMS1" will have on "Slope Time".

Key Sync

This parameter specifies if the LFO is synchronized to key strokes.

On The LFO will start each time you play a note, and an independent LFO will operate for each note.

Off The LFO effect that was started by the first-played note will continue to be applied to each newly-played note. (In this case, Delay and Fade will be applied only to the LFO when it is first started).

Offset

This parameter specifies the central value of the LFO waveform. For example, with a setting of 0 as shown in the following diagram, the vibrato that is applied will be centered on the note-on pitch. With a setting of +99, the vibrato will only raise the pitch above the note-on pitch, in the way in which vibrato is applied on a guitar. When “Wave” is set to Guitar, the modulation will occur only in the positive (+) direction even if you set “Offset” to 0.

On The LFO frequency will synchronize to the tempo (MIDI Clock) of Sequencer 1. In this case, the values you specified for "Frequency" (see page 120) and "Frequency modulation" (see page 121) will be ignored.

Base Note/Times

When "MIDI/Tempo Sync" is On, these parameters set a note length relative to “ (Tempo)” and the multiple (“Times”) that will be applied to it. These parameters will determine the frequency of the LFO1. For example if “Base Note” is (quarter note) and “Times” is 04, the LFO will perform one cycle every four beats.

Even if you change the “(Tempo)” setting of Sequencer 1, the LFO will always perform one cycle every four beats.

DRUM This parameter is not available when editing a Drum Program.

01...16 Beats before restarting the cycle.

Frequency modulation

You can use two alternate modulation sources to adjust the speed of the LFO1 for the selected oscillator.

AMS1(F) (Alternate Modulation Source1)

Selects the source that will adjust the frequency of the selected oscillator LFO1 (see "AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list" on page 123). LFO1 can be modulated by LFO2.

Intensity (AMS1 Intensity)

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect that "AMS1(F)" will have. When this parameter is set to a value of 16, 33, 49, 66, 82, or 99, the LFO frequency being can be increased by a maximum of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 times respectively (or decreased by 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, or 1/64 respectively).

For example, if "AMS1(F)" is Note Number, positive (+) values of this parameter will cause the oscillator LFO to speed up as you play higher notes. Negative (−) values will cause the oscillator LFO to slow down as you play higher notes. This change will be centered on the C4 note.

If AMS1(F) is set to JS +Y, raising the value of this parameter will cause the oscillator LFO1 speed to increase as the joystick is moved away from yourself. With a setting of +99, moving the joystick all the way away from yourself will increase the LFO speed by approximately 64 times.

-99...+99Intensity value.

AMS2(F) (Alternate Modulation Source2)

Intensity (AMS2 Intensity)

Make settings for a second alternate modulation source that will adjust the frequency of the oscillator LFO1 (see above "AMS1(F) (Alternate Modulation Source1)" and "Intensity (AMS1 Intensity)").

PAGE 18 - LFO2

Here you can make settings for the LFO2, which is the second LFO that can be applied to the selected oscillator. See "Page 17 - LFO1" for more information on the parameters value.

However in “Frequency modulation”, the LFO cannot be selected as a modulation source in “AMS1” or “AMS2.”

PAGE 19 - EFFECTS

Here you can select two effects for the whole Program, switch them on/off, and specify chaining.

FX1/2

Use these parameters to select the effect type for effect 1/2. See the "Effects" chapter for more information.

Note: If 000: No Effect is selected, the output from the master effect will be muted.

Send

Send level for each effect.

DRUM Drum samples have their own send level settings (see "Send FX1" and "Send FX2" on page 109). Use this parameter to adjust the general offset of the Drum Program.

Chain 2>1

Use this parameter to send the output of effect 2 to the input of effect 1.

000...127 Level of the signal exiting the effect 2 going back to the effect 1.

Send to Master

This parameters allows you to decide if the direct + effected signal must go to the Master, or just the effected signal.

Yes Only the effected signal will be sent to the Audio Outputs. The direct (non-effected) signal will not be sent.

No Both the effected signal and direct signals will be sent to the Audio Outputs.

16. CARD EDIT ENVIRONMENT

The Card Edit environment is the place where you can manage files. This edit environment overlaps the current operating mode (Style Play, Song Play, Backing Sequence, Song, Program).

THE WRITE/CARD IN USE LED

When the drive is reading or writing data on a card, the WRITE/CARD IN USE indicator lights up. While in a Card page, the "Wait" message appears in the display; in this situation, you can't select a different Card page (you can, however, select a different operative mode).

KORG MicroARRANGER - THE WRITE/CARD IN USE LED - 1

text_image chord tempo J 71 transpose C + octave Date key Card: Save (Wait) ALL SAVE OPEN CLOSE

Warning! Never remove a card when the WRITE/CARD IN USE LED is turned on!

SUPPORTED CARDS

You can use the following types of cards to save or load data to and from the microARRANGER's internal memory:

• SD (High Speed, Ultra II, SDHC)
- MMC
• MicroSD with an SD adapter
• MiniSD with an SD adapter

Note: Before you can use the SD/MMC card, you must format it on the microARRANGER. Don't use your computer or digital camera to format (initialize) a card you plan to use with the microARRANGER. If the card was formatted on a different device, it may not work correctly with the microARRANGER

Note: The SD/MMC card is not included. It must be purchased separately.

Note: The microARRANGER supports SD cards with a power supply voltage of 2.7–3.6V.

SD and MMC card handling

  • Do not remove the card from the drive while the microARRANGER is reading or saving data.
  • The SD/MMC card may be hot immediately following use. Power-off the microARRANGER and wait for the card to cool before removing it.
  • SD/MMC cards are precision parts. Do not bend them, drop them, or subject them to physical shock.
  • Avoid using or storing SD/MMC cards in locations of extremely high or low temperature such as in direct sunlight, a closed automobile, or near a heater, or in locations of high humidity or excessive dust.

  • Avoid using or storing SD/MMC cards in locations where they may be subject to strong static electricity or electrical noise.

  • Do not allow dirt or foreign matter to adhere to the contacts of an SD/MMC card. If the contacts should become soiled, gently wipe them off using a dry cloth.
  • When you are not using an SD/MMC card, keep it in the protective case that was included with the card to prevent it from being damaged by static electricity.
  • Do not leave an SD/MMC card where it is accessible by infants or children who might place it in their mouth and swallow it.
  • Carefully read and observe the owner's manual included with your SD/MMC card.

Write protecting an SD card

SD cards have a write protect switch that prevents the data from being overwritten accidentally and lost. If you set the card's switch to the protected setting, it will be impossible to write or erase data on the card, or to format it. If you need to save edited data on the card, move the switch back to its original unprotected setting.

Inserting/exchanging cards

Inserting a card

Insert the card, making sure that it is oriented correctly. The gold contacts should be facing down, and the angled corner to your right.

KORG MicroARRANGER - Inserting a card - 1

text_image SD card slot SD card

Removing a card

Press the card inward and release it, and the card will pop out.

Note: Before you can use an SD card, you must format it on the microARRANGER. The card may not work if it was formatted on another device.

Organizing your data into separate folders

We suggest to organize your data into separate folders, instead of saving many files into the root (i.e., the main level) of the card. This allows for faster accesses to the card, thus a quicker response of the microARRANGER to your CARD commands.

LOADING DATA CREATED WITH THE PA80/PA60/PA50

microARRANGER data is perfectly interchangeable with its Pa80, Pa60 and Pa50 counterparts. The only data microARRANGER can't load from Pa80/Pa60 is the following:

• Digital Drawbar Programs

• I n p tingst 1/2 sett
• V H Gal/GlutarProcessor Board settings
• E C 5 settings
• TO HOST port setting
• Audio Output routing

At the same time, Pa80 and Pa60 can read any data created with the microARRANGER and Pa50.

CARD STRUCTURE

Each card (and the internal memory) can contain files and folders. The data structure in microARRANGER is slightly more rigorously determined than in a computer, due to the pre-configured data structure inside the instrument's memory. The diagram on the right shows the global structure of a microARRANGER card.

Note: Style banks from 1 to 16 (Factory Styles) can be seen in Card mode only when the "Factory Style Protect" parameter is t toeOff (see page 142), and only when loading or saving a single Style bank.

FILE TYPES

The following tables describe all the file and folder types the microARRANGER can manage. Here are the files you can read or write on the microARRANGER.

Extension File/folder type

Data that doesn't exist on the source folder is left unchanged. For example, if the USER03 Style bank exists on the target folder, but not in the source folder, it is left untouched after copying the other banks.

When you decide not to overwrite, data existing on the target folder is left unchanged, therefore are not copied.

  1. The "Are you sure?" message appears. Press ENTER to confirm, EXIT to abort the copy.

Copying a single file

You can copy a single file from a generic folder to a different folder. The file must reside on the root (the main/highest folder in the card hierarchy) or into a generic folder. You can't copy single files from a ".SET" folder.

No Card/Unformatted Sh+Enter to format

Keep SHIFT pressed, and press ENTER to format the card.

Backup Data

This command starts a backup of all internal factory data (Styles, Programs, Performances...) excluding the Operating System itself.

Note: Should you not do a back-up and your internal data is changed, you can download the data from http://www.korgpa.com/, or ask your local KORG dealer.

  1. Select the Backup Data command.
  2. The "Are you sure?" message appears. Press ENTER to continue, EXIT to abort.

If the card is not formatted, microARRANGER asks if you want to format it:

No Card/Unformatted Sh+Enter to format

Warning: Don't play on the keyboard while restoring data, and stay in the Card mode. Wait until the "Wait" message disappears, and the WRITE/CARD IN USE LED turns off.

This is due to the lack of Performance banks 11–20 on older versions of the operating system of Pa80, whose data you are probably reading. However, this is not a problem. Press EXIT to close the message

PAGE 9 - UTILITIES 2

This page includes the Protect functions.

KORG MicroARRANGER - PAGE 9 - UTILITIES 2 - 1

text_image chord tempo .71 Transpose [ + ] octave Link to Card:Util 2 Global Protect:Off Fact. Style Protect:On

Global Protect

▶GBL

When loading a ".SET" file, this parameter (if On) protects the Global from being reprogrammed by the loaded data. All Global parameters are therefore left unchanged.

When loading a single ".GLB" file, this parameter is ignored, and the Global is overwritten by the loaded data.

Note: This parameter is automatically set to Off when turning the instrument off.

Factory Style Protect

When On, this parameter protects the Factory Styles (from the "8 BEAT/16 BEAT 1" to the "TRAD" bank) from being overwritten when loading data from card. Furthermore, you can't access these banks when saving data.

When Off, you can load or save User Styles even into the Factory Styles banks (from "8 BEAT/16 BEAT 1" to "TRAD"). This way, you can personalize your Factory Style banks.

Please note that the Save All procedure always saves only the USER Style banks.

Note: This parameter is automatically set to On when turning the instrument off.

Note: Should your accidentally delete some Factory Data, reload the Backup data, contact your KORG dealer or service center, or download the data from http://www.korgpa.com/.

DRUM KIT INSTRUMENTS

Legend: In the Drum Kit tables, the numer 120-x-x before each Drum Kit name is the Bank Select MSB (CC00) - Bank Select LSB (CC32) - Program Change (PC) number. Sample enlists both the sample number in memory, and the sample name. Excl is the Exclusive parameter: when a note is struck, all notes with the same Exclusive number are stopped. A right-pointing arrow ( ) indicates a velocity switch.

18. EFFECTS

microARRANGER is equipped with four powerful Effect Processors (A, B, C, D). You can send them the internal tracks.

DIAGRAMS

The following instructions show the signal path diagram for each of the effect types. The signal coming from the tracks (Send) is mono. Before entering an effect processor, it is split in two “wires” (Left and Right), and processed in stereo. The signal is then output in stereo from the effect processor, and sent to the Mix output (Left&Right, the headphones or the internal speakers).

a: Envelope Select

This parameter selects whether the left and right channels are linked to control both signals simultaneously, or whether each channel is controlled independently.

b: Sensitivity, f: Output Level

The “Sensitivity” parameter sets the sensitivity of the compressor. If this parameter is set to a higher value, lower level sounds will be boosted. With a higher Sensitivity, the overall volume level is higher. To adjust the final volume level, use the “Output Level” parameter.

003: Limiter

(Stereo Limiter)

The Limiter regulates the input signal level. It is similar to the Compressor, except that the Limiter compresses only signals that exceed the specified level to lower unnecessary peak signals. The Limiter applies a peaking-type EQ to the trigger signal (which controls the degree of the Limiter effect), allowing you to set any band width to be covered. This effect is a stereo limiter. You can link left and right channels, or use each channel individually.

a: Envelope Select

When L/R Mix is selected for this parameter, the left and right channels are linked to control the Limiter using the mixed signal. If L Only (or R Only) is selected, the left and right channels are linked, and the Limiter is controlled via only the left (or right) channel.

With L/R individually, the left and right channels control the Limiter individually.

b: Ratio, c: Threshold [dB], e: Gain Adjust [dB]

This parameter sets the signal compression "Ratio". Compression is applied only when the signal level exceeds the "Threshold" value.

Adjust the output level using the "Gain Adjust" parameter, since compression causes the entire level to be reduced.

KORG MicroARRANGER - b: Ratio, c: Threshold [dB], e: Gain Adjust [dB] - 1

The x-axis is labeled 'Input Level' and the y-axis is labeled 'Output Level'.

d: Attack, d: Release

These parameters set the attack time and release time. A higher attack time will cause the compression to be applied more slowly.

KORG MicroARRANGER - d: Attack, d: Release - 1

text_image Dry Wet Wet Limiter - Attack / Release Threshold Ratio=Inf : 1 Attack=1 Release=1 Ratio=Inf : 1 Attack=100 Release=100 Attack Release

f: Side PEQ Insert, g: Side PEQ Cutoff [Hz], g: Q, g: Gain [dB]

These parameters are used to set the EQ applied to the trigger signal.

The Limiter determines whether the compression is applied or not, based on the post-EQ trigger signal. Setting the equalizer allows you to set the Limiter to respond to any frequency band.

f: Trigger Monitor

Setting this parameter On will cause the trigger signal to be output, instead of the effect sound. Use this parameter to check the trigger signal with EQ applied.

Usually, set this to Off.

004: MBandLimit

(Multiband Limiter)

This effect applies the Limiter to the low range, mid range, and high range of the input signal. You can control dynamics for each range to adjust the sound pressure of the low range, mid range, and high range in a different way from the EQ.

These parameters set the gain of the trigger signal.

For example, if you do not want to apply compression to the high range, reduce the "High Offset" value down below the "Threshold" level. In this way, the high range limiter will not respond, and compression will not be applied.

005: Gate

(Stereo Gate)

This effect mutes the input signal if its level is lower than the specified level. It also reverses the on and off operation of the gate, and uses Note On and Off messages to turn the gate on and off.

a: Envelope Select, a: Src

The “Envelope Select” parameter selects whether the gate on/off is triggered by the level of the input signal, or controlled directly by the modulation source. The Src parameter specifies the modulation source, selected from Off to Gate2+Dpmr.

With "Envelope Select" = L/R Mix, the left and right channel signal mixture will trigger the gate on/off. When L Only or R Only is selected, the gate is controlled by either of the channel signals.

b: Polarity

This parameter reverses the Gate on/off operation. With a negative value, the gate is closed when the input signal level exceeds the Threshold. The gate operation controlled by the modulation source is also reversed.

c: Threshold, d: Attack, d: Release

This parameter sets the signal level below which Gate is applied when "Envelope Select" is set to L/R Mix, L Only, or R Only.

The Attack and Release parameters set the Gate attack time and release time.

KORG MicroARRANGER - c: Threshold, d: Attack, d: Release - 1

text_image Output Level Threshold Gate - Threshold Louder Input Level Dry Wet Wet Attack Release Gate - Attack / Release Threshold Attack=1 Release=1 Attack=100 Release=100

e: Delay Time

This parameter sets the delay time of the Gate input. If the sound has a very fast attack, increase the delay time so that the signal will be input after the Gate is opened. This will preserve the attack part of the sound.

006: OD/HGainWah

(Overdrive/Hi.Gain Wah)

This distortion effect utilizes an Overdrive mode and a Hi-Gain mode. Controlling the wah effect, the 3-band EQ, and the amp simulation will allow you to create versatile distortion sounds. This effect is suitable for guitar and organ sounds.

a: Wah

The Wah parameter switches the wah effect on/off.

a: Sw

This parameter sets how the wah effect is switched on and off via the modulation source.

When "Sw" = Moment, the wah effect is usually turned off. It is turned on only when you press the pedal or operate the joystick.

KORG MicroARRANGER - a: Sw - 1

When a value for the modulation source is less than 64, "off" speed is selected, and when the value is 64 or higher, "on" is selected.

When "Sw" = Toggle, the wah effect is switched between on and off each time you press the pedal or operate the joystick.

KORG MicroARRANGER - a: Sw - 2

The switch will be turned on/off each time the value of the modulation source exceeds 64.

b: Wah Sweep Range, b: Wah Sweep Src

This parameter sets the sweep range of the wah center frequency. A negative value will reverse the direction of sweep. The wah center frequency can be controlled by the modulation source specified in the "Wah Sweep Src" parameter.

d: Drive, e: Output Level

The degree of distortion is determined by the level of input signal and the setting of "Drive". Raising the "Drive" setting will cause the entire volume level to increase. Use the "Output Level" parameter to adjust the volume level. The "Output Level" parameter uses the signal level input to the 3-Band EQ. If clipping occurs at the 3-Band EQ, adjust the "Output Level" parameter.

d: Pre Low-cut

Cutting the signal in the low range before it is input to the Distortion will create a sharp distortion.

g: Q, h: Q

These parameters set the bandwidth of each equalizer. The higher the value, the narrower the band becomes.

007: Param.4B Eq

(Stereo Parametric 4-Band EQ)

This is a stereo 4-band parametric equalizer. You can select peaking type or shelving type for Band 1 and 4. The gain of Band 2 can be controlled by dynamic modulation.

a: Frequency Bottom, a: Frequency Top

The sweep width and direction of the wah filter are determined by the "Frequency Top" and "Frequency Bottom" settings.

KORG MicroARRANGER - a: Frequency Bottom, a: Frequency Top - 1

b: Sweep Mode

This parameter changes the wah control mode. Setting "Sweep Mode" to Auto will select an auto-wah that sweeps according to envelope changes in the input signal level. Autowah is frequently used for funk guitar parts and clay sounds. When "Sweep Mode" is set to D-mod, you can control the filter directly via the modulation source in the same way as a wah pedal.

When "Sweep Mode" is set to LFO, the effect uses LFO to sweep in cycle.

c: Envelope Sens (Envelope Sensitivity)

This parameter sets the sensitivity of auto-wah. Increase the value if the input signal is too low to sweep. Reduce the value if the input signal is so high that the filter is stopped temporarily.

e: BPM, e: Base Note, e: Times

One cycle of LFO sweep is obtained by multiplying the length of a note ( ♩ ) (selected for "Base Note", in relation to the tempo specified in ("BPM", or the MIDI Clock tempo if "BPM" is set to MIDI) by the number specified in the Times parameter.

a: LFO Waveform, c: LFO Frequency [Hz], d: LFO Step Freq (Frequency) [Hz]

When "LFO Waveform" is set to Step-Tri, LFO is a step-shape, triangle waveform. The "LFO Frequency" parameter sets the original triangle waveform speed. Changing the "LFO Step Freq" parameter enables you to adjust the width of the steps.

When "LFO Waveform" is set to Random, the "LFO Step Freq" parameter uses a random LFO cycle.

012: Sub Oscill

(Stereo Sub Oscillator)

This effect adds very low frequencies to the input signal. It is very useful when simulating a roaring drum sound or emphasizing powerful low range. This effect is different from the equalizer in that you can add very low range harmonics. You can also adjust the oscillator frequency to match a particular note number, for use as an octaver.

a: OSC Mode, b: Note Interval, b: Note Fine

The “OSC Mode” parameter selects the oscillator operation mode. When Note (Key Follow) is selected, the oscillator's frequency is determined based on the note number, allowing you to use it as an octaver. The “Note Interval” parameter sets the pitch offset from the original note number by semitone steps. The “Note Fine” parameter allows you to fine-tune in steps of cents.

d: Envelope Pre LPF

This parameter sets the upper limit of the frequency range to which very low harmonics are added. Adjust this parameter if you do not want to add lower harmonics to the higher range.

013: Talking Mod

c: Voice Top, d: Voice Center, e: Voice Bottom

These parameters assign vowels to the top, center, and bottom position of the controller.

E.g.: When "Voice Top" = A, "Voice Center" = I, and "Voice Bottom" = U:

If "Sweep Mode" is set to D-mod and Ribbon is selected as the modulation source, moving your finger from the right to left of the ribbon controller will change the sound from "a" to "i," then "u."

If Sweep Mode is set to LFO, the sound will change cyclically from "a" to "i," "u," "i," then "a."

h: Formant Shift

This parameter adjusts the frequency level to which the effect is applied. If you wish to apply the effect to a higher-range sound, set this parameter to a higher value; to apply the effect to a lower-range sound, set this to a lower value.

h: Resonance

This parameter sets the intensity of resonance for the voice pattern. A larger value will add more character to the sound.

014: Decimator

(Stereo Decimator)

This effect creates a rough sound like a cheap sampler by lowering the sampling frequency and data bit length. You can also simulate noise unique to a sampler (aliasing).

a: Pre LPF

If a sampler with a very low sampling frequency receives very high-pitched sound that could not be heard during playback, it could generate pitch noise that is unrelated to the original sound. Set "Pre LPF" to ON to prevent this noise from being generated.

If you set the "Sampling Freq" to about 3kHz and set "Pre LPF" to OFF, you can create a sound like a ring modulator.

e: Resolution, f: Output Level

If you set a smaller value for the "Resolution" parameter, the sound may be distorted. The volume level may also be changed. Use "Output Level" to adjust the level.

015: Analog Rec

(Stereo Analog Record)

This effect simulates the noise caused by scratches and dust on analog records. It also reproduces some of the modulation caused by a warped turntable.

c: Sweep Mode, c: Src

This parameter switches the flanger control mode. With "Sweep Mode" = EG, the flanger will sweep using the envelope generator. This envelope generator is included in the envelope flanger, and not related to the Pitch EG, Filter EG, or Amp EG.

The "Src" parameter selects the source that starts the envelope generator. If you select, for example, Gate, the envelope generator will start when the note-on message is received.

When "Sweep Mode" = D-mod, the modulation source can control the flanger directly. Select the modulation source using the "Src" parameter.

The effect is off when a value for the modulation source specified for the "Src" parameter is smaller than 64, and the effect is on when the value is 64 or higher. The Envelope Generator is triggered when the value changes from 63 or smaller to 64 or higher.

d: EG Attack, d: EG Decay

Attack and Decay speed are the only adjustable parameters on this EG.

023: Phaser

(Stereo Phaser)

This effect creates a swell by shifting the phase. It is very effective on electric piano sounds. You can add spread to the sound by offsetting the phase of the left and right LFOs from each other.

g: Resonance, h: Wet/Dry

The peak shape of the positive and negative Feedback value is different. The harmonics will be emphasized when the effect sound is mixed with the dry sound, if you set a positive value for both “Resonance” and “Wet/Dry”, and if you set a negative value for both “Resonance” and “Wet/Dry”.

g: High Damp [%]

This parameter sets the amount of damping of the resonance in the high range. Increasing the value will cut high-range harmonics.

When “LFO Frequency Mod” is set to AUTOFADE, you can use the modulation source selected in “AUTO FADE Src” as a trigger to automatically fade in the modulation amount. When “BPM/MIDI Sync” is set to On, you cannot use this.

The “Fade-in Rate” parameter specifies the rate of fade-in. The “Fade-in Delay” parameter determines the time from AutoFade modulation source ON until the fade-in starts.

The following is an example of fade-in where the LFO speed is increased from "1.0Hz" to "4.0Hz" when a note-on message is received.

"AUTOFADE Src" = Gate1, "LFO Frequency [Hz]" = 1.0

The effect is off when a value for the dynamic modulation source specified for the "AUTOFADE Src" parameter is smaller than 64, and the effect is on when the value is 64 or higher. The AutoFade function is triggered when the value changes from 63 or smaller to 64 or higher.

a: Control Mode, e: Voice1: Resonance, h: Voice2: Resonance

This parameter determines the resonance intensity.

When “Control Mode” = Manual, the “Resonance” parameter sets the intensity of resonance. If the “Resonance” parameter has a negative value, harmonics will be changed, and resonance will occur at a pitch one octave lower.

When “Control Mode” = LFO, the intensity of resonance varies according to the LFO. The LFO sways between positive and negative values, causing resonance to occur between specified pitches an octave apart in turn.

When “Control Mode” = D-mod, the resonance is controlled by the dynamic modulation source. If JS X or Ribbon is assigned as the modulation source, the pitch an octave higher and lower can be controlled, similar to when LFO is selected for Control Mode.

a: LFO/D-mod Invert

When “Control Mode” = LFO or D-mod, the controlled phase of either Voice 1 or 2 will be reversed. When the resonance pitch is set for Voice 1 (Resonance has a positive value), Voice 2 will resonate at a pitch an octave below (Resonance has a negative value).

d: Voice1: Pitch, d: Fine [cent], g: Voice2: Pitch, g: Fine [cent]

The Pitch parameter specifies the pitch of resonance by note name. The “Fine” parameter allows for fine adjustment in steps of cents.

e: High Damp [%], h: High Damp [%]

This parameter sets the damping amount of resonant sound in the high range. Lower values will make a metallic sound with a higher range of harmonics.

030: Doppler

This effect simulates the "Doppler effect" of a moving sound with a changing pitch, similar to the siren of an passing ambulance. Mixing the effect sound with the dry sound will create a unique chorus effect.

a: LFO Mode, a: Src, b: LFO Sync

The “LFO Mode” parameter switches LFO operation mode. When Loop is selected, the Doppler effect will be created repeatedly. If “LFO Sync” is set to On, the LFO will be reset when the modulation source specified with the “Src” parameter is turned on.

When "LFO Mode" is set to 1-Shot, the Doppler effect is created only once when the modulation source specified in the "Src" field is turned on. At this time if you do not set the "Src" parameter, the Doppler effect will not be created, and no effect sound will be output.

KORG MicroARRANGER - a: LFO Mode, a: Src, b: LFO Sync - 1

The effect is off when a value for the modulation source specified for the "Src" parameter is smaller than 64, and the effect is on when the value is 64 or higher. The Doppler effect is triggered when the value changes from 63 or smaller to 64 or higher.

e: Pitch Depth

With the Doppler effect, the pitch is raised when the sound approaches, and the pitch is lowered when the sound goes away. This parameter sets this pitch variation.

f: Pan Depth

This parameter sets the width of the stereo image of the effect sound. With larger values, the sound seems to come and go from much further away. With positive values, the sound moves from left to right; with negative values, the sound moves from right to left.

031: Scratch

This effect is applied by recording the input signal and moving the modulation source. It simulates the sound of scratches you can make using a turntable.

text_image Scratch Source Start Playback Position End Recorded Sound Scratch Source Max Scratch! JS X Ribbon JS+Y JS-Y etc... Zero Zero + Max Zero + Max

c: Envelope Select, c: Src, d: Threshold

When “Envelope Select” is set to D-mod, the input signal will be recorded only when the modulation source value is 64 or higher.

When "Envelope Select" is set to Input, the input signal will be recorded only when its level is over the Threshold value.

The maximum recording time is 1365msec. If this is exceeded, the recorded data will start being erased from the top.

e: Response

This parameter enables you to set the speed of the response to the end of recording. Set a smaller value when you are recording a phrase or rhythm pattern, and set a higher value if you are recording only one note.

f: Direct Mix

With Always On, a dry sound is usually output. With Always Off, dry sounds are not output. With Cross Fade, a dry sound is usually output, and it is muted only when scratching.

Set Wet/Dry to Wet to use this parameter effectively.

032: Tremolo

(Stereo Tremolo)

This effect modulates the volume level of the input signal. The effect is stereo, and offsetting the LFO of the left and right phases from each other produces a tremolo effect between left and right.

033: EnvelTremol

(Stereo Envelope Tremolo)

This effect uses the input signal level to modulate a stereo tremolo. You can simulate a tremolo effect that becomes deeper as it fades out while the level gets lower.

d: LFO Frequency [Hz], d: Envelope Amount [Hz], e: Depth, e: Envelope Amount

These parameters set the modulation via an envelope (input signal level).

The “LFO speed” is obtained by adding the “LFO Frequency” value to the “Envelope Amount” value multiplied by the input signal. The LFO modulation depth is obtained by adding the Depth value to the “Envelope Amount” value multiplied by the input signal level.

- The following example indicates that the "Depth" is 0 with an LFO Frequency of 1.0Hz and the maximum input, and that the "Depth" is 100 with a Frequency of 8.0Hz with zero input.

a: LFO Shape

You can change the panning curve by modifying the LFO waveform.

b: LFO Phase

This parameter determines the difference in the left and right LFO phases. When you change the value gradually from 0, the sound from the left and right channels will chase each other around. If you set the parameter to +180 or -180, the sound from each channel will cross over each other.

You need to input different sounds to each channel in order for this parameter to be effective.

a: Type, a: LFO Phase [degree]

Select the type of phaser LFO and tremolo LFO for the "Type" parameter. How the effect sound moves or rotates depends on the type of LFO. Selecting "LFO Phase" enables you to

offset the timing of the phaser peak and control a subtle movement and rotation of the sound.

f: Phaser WetDry, i: Wet/Dry

The “Phaser Wet/Dry” parameter sets the balance between the phaser output and the dry sound. The “Wet/Dry” parameter sets the balance between the final phaser and tremolo output level and the dry sound.

036: RingModulat

(Stereo Ring Modulator)

This effect creates a metallic sound by applying the oscillators to the input signal. Use the LFO or Dynamic Modulation to modulate the oscillator to create a radical modulation. Matching the oscillator frequency with a note number will produce a ring modulation effect in specific key ranges.

a: Pre LPF

This parameter enables you to set the damping amount of the high range sound input to the ring modulator. If the input sound contains lots of harmonics, the effect may sound dirty. In this case, cut a certain amount of high range.

b: OSC Mode

This parameter determines whether or not the oscillator frequency follows the note number.

c: Fixed Frequency [Hz]

This parameter sets the oscillator frequency when "OSC Mode" is set to Fixed.

d: Note Offset, d: Note Fine

These parameters for the oscillator are used when "OSC Mode" is set to Note (Key Follow). The "Note Offset" sets the pitch difference from the original note in semitone steps. The "Note Fine" parameter fine-adjusts the pitch in cent steps. Matching the oscillator frequency with the note number produces a ring modulation effect in the correct key.

037: Detune

Using this effect, you can obtain a detune effect that offsets the pitch of the effect sound slightly from the pitch of the input signal. Compared to the chorus effect, a more natural sound thickness will be created.

The Pan parameter pans the effect sound and dry sound to the left and right. With L, the effect sound is panned left, and the dry sound is panned right. With a Wet/Dry = Wet setting, the effect and dry sound will be output in a proportion of 1:1.

040: RotarySpeak

(Rotary Speaker)

This effect simulates a rotary speaker, and obtains a more realistic sound by simulating the rotor in the low range and the horn in the high range separately. The effect also simulates the stereo microphone settings.

a: Sw

This parameter sets how the modulation source switches between rotation and stop.

When "Sw" = Toggle, the speaker rotates or stops alternately each time you press the pedal or operate the joystick.

KORG MicroARRANGER - a: Sw - 1

Each time the value for the modulation source exceeds 64, the speaker rotates or stops alternately.

When "Sw" = Moment, the speaker is rotating. It stops only when you press the pedal or operate the joystick.

MIDI Rotation will occur when the value of the modulation source is less than 64, and will stop when the value is 64 or greater.

b: Sw

This parameter sets how the rotation speed (slow and fast) is switched via the modulation source.

When "Sw" = Toggle, the speed is switched between slow and fast each time you press the pedal or operate the joystick.

MIDI Slow/fast will alternate each time the value of the modulation source exceeds 64.

When "Sw" = Moment, the speed is usually slow. It becomes fast only when you press the pedal or operate the joystick.

MDI When a value for the modulation source is less than 64, "slow" speed is selected, and when the value is 64 or higher, "fast" is selected.

c: Manual Speed Ctrl

If you wish to control the speaker rotation speed manually, not switching between Slow and Fast, select the modulation

source in the "Manual Speed Ctrl" field. If manual control is not necessary, set this field to Off.

d: Horn Acceleration, e: Rotor Acceleration

On a real rotary speaker, the rotation speed is accelerated or decelerated gradually after you switch the speed. The "Horn Acceleration" parameter sets the speed at which the rotation is accelerated or decelerated.

a: Rec Mode, b: Reverse Time

When "Rec Mode" is set to Single, you can set up to 1320msec for "Reverse Time." If recording starts during the reverse playback, the playback will be interrupted.

When "Rec Mode" is set to Multi, you can make another recording during the reverse playback. However, the maximum Reverse Time is limited to 660msec.

If you wish to record a phrase or rhythm pattern, set "Rec Mode" to Single. If you record only one note, set "Rec Mode" to Multi.

The "Reverse Time" parameter specifies the maximum duration of the reverse playback. The part in excess of this limit will not be played in reverse. If you wish to add short pieces of the reverse playback of single notes, make the "Reverse Time" shorter.

a: Mode

You can change how the left and right delay signals are panned by modifying the routing of the left and right delay as shown in the figure above. You need to input different sounds to each channel in order for this parameter to be effective.

d: Tap1 Level

This parameter sets the output level of Tap1. Setting a different level from Tap2 will add a unique touch to a monotonous delay and feedback.

046: Modul.Delay

(Stereo Modulation Delay)

This stereo delay uses an LFO to sweep the delay time. The pitch also varies. You will obtain a delay sound with swell and shimmering. You can also control the delay time using a modulation source.

b: D-mod Modulation

When the modulation source is used for control, this parameter reverses the left and right modulation direction.

e: LFO Sync, e: Src,

f: L LFO Phase [degree], f: R LFO Phase [degree]

The LFO can be reset via a modulation source.

The "Src" parameter sets the modulation source that resets the LFO. For example, you can assign Gate as a modulation

source so that the sweep always starts from the specified point.

“L LFO Phase” and “R LFO Phase” set the phase obtained when the left and right LFOs are reset. In this way, you can create changes in pitch sweep for the left and right channels individually.

KORG MicroARRANGER - f: L LFO Phase [degree], f: R LFO Phase [degree] - 1

The effect is off when a value of the modulation source specified in the "Src" parameter is 63 or smaller, and the effect is on when the value is 64 or higher. The LFO is triggered and reset to the "L LFO Phase" and "R LFO Phase" settings when the value changes from 63 or smaller to 64 or higher.

047: Dynam.Delay

(Stereo Dynamic Delay)

This stereo delay controls the level of delay according to the input signal level. You can use this as a ducking delay that applies delay to the sound only when you play keys at a high velocity or only when the volume level is low.

a: Control Target

This parameter selects no level control, delay output control (effect balance), or feedback amount control.

a: Polarity, b: Threshold, b: Offset, c: Attack, d: Release

The “Offset” parameter specifies the value for the “Control Target” parameter (that is set to None), expressed as the ratio relative to the parameter value (the “Wet/Dry” value with “Control Target”=Out, or the “Feedback” value with “Control Target”=FB).

When “Polarity” is positive, the “Control Target” value is obtained by multiplying the parameter value by the “Offset” value (if the input level is below the threshold), or equals the parameter value if the input level exceeds the threshold.

When “Polarity” is negative, Control Target value equals the parameter value if the input level is below the threshold, or is obtained by multiplying the parameter value by the “Offset” value if the level exceeds the threshold.

The “Attack” and “Release” parameters specify attack time and release time of delay level control.

049: LCR BPM Dly

The L/C/R delay enables you to match the delay time with the song tempo. You can also synchronize the delay time with the arpeggiator or sequencer. If you program the tempo before performance, you can achieve a delay effect that synchronizes with the song in real-time. Delay time is set by notes.

Note: With extreme values, the sync may be lost.

a: BPM, b: L Delay Base Note, b: Times, c: C Delay Base Note,

c: Times, d: R Delay Base Note, d: Times

The delay time is the length of the note obtained by multiplying the "Base Note" parameter by the Times value, in relation to the tempo specified by the "BPM" parameter (or the MIDI Clock tempo if "BPM" is set to MIDI).

050: BPM Delay

(Stereo BPM Delay)

This stereo delay enables you to set the delay time to match the song tempo.

Note: With extreme values, the sync may be lost.

a: BPM, b: Rhythm Pattern

With the tempo specified by the "BPM" parameter (or the MIDI Clock tempo if "BPM" is set to MIDI), the length of one beat equals the feedback delay time, and the interval between taps becomes equal. Selecting a rhythm pattern will automatically turn the tap outputs on and off. When "BPM" is set to MIDI, the lower limit of the "BPM" is 44.

i: Output Mode

When Wet Invert is selected, the right channel phase of the chorus/flanger effect sound is inverted. This creates pseudostereo effects and adds spread.

However, if a mono-input type effect is connected after this effect, the left and right sounds may cancel each other, eliminating the chorus/flanger effects.

h: Output Mode, i: Routing

When Wet Invert is selected, the right channel phase of the chorus/flanger effect sound is inverted. This creates pseudostereo effects and adds spread.

However, if a mono-input type effect is connected after this effect, the left and right sounds may cancel each other, eliminating the chorus/flanger effects.

When "Routing" is set to FLNG→CMP, "Output Mode" will be set to Normal.

f: Envelope Select, f: Src, g: Input Reverb Mix, g: Threshold The "Envelope Select" parameter enables you to select whether turning the gate on and off is triggered by the input signal level or controlled directly by the modulation source. You can select from Off to Gate2+Dmpr for the Src parameter to specify the modulation source.

When "Envelope Select" is set to Input, the gate is controlled by the level of signals that are the combination of the dry sound and the reverb sound. When the signal level exceeds the threshold, the gate opens and the reverb sound is output. Normally, set "Input Reverb Mix" to Dry (the gate is controlled only by the dry sound). If you wish to extend the gate time, set the "Input Reverb Mix" value higher and adjust the "Threshold" value.

SCALES

The following is a list of scales (or tunings) you can select in Style Play ("Scale" on page 44) and Global ("Scale" on page 125) modes.

Equal Equal tuning, the standard scale for modern Western music. It is made of 12 identical semitones.

Pure Major Major chords in the selected key are perfectly tuned.

Pure Minor Minor chords in the selected key are perfected tuned.

Arabic An arabic scale, using quarters of tone. Set the Key parameter as follow:

C - for the "rast C/bayati D" scale

D - for the "rast D/bayati E" scale

F - for the "rast F/bayati G" scale

G - for the "rast G/bayati A" scale

A# - for the "rast Bb/bayati C" scale

PythagoreanPythagorean scale, based on the music theories of the great Greek philosopher and matematician. It is most suitable for melodies.

Werckmeister

Late Baroque/Classic Age scale. Very suitable for XVIII Century music.

Kirnberger Harpsichord scale, very common during the XVIII Century.

Slendro Scale of the Indonesian Gamelan. The octave is divided in 5 notes (C, D, F, G, A). The remaining notes are tuned as in the Equal tuning.

Pelog Scale of the Indonesian Gamelan. The octave is divided in 7 notes (all white keys, when Key is = C). The black keys are tuned as in the Equal tuning.

Stretch Simulates the “stretched” tuning of an acoustic piano. Basically an equal tuning, the lowest notes are slightly lower, while the highest notes are slightly higher than the standard.

User scale i.e. scale programmed by the user for the Style Play, Backing Sequence and Song Play modes. The user scale can be saved to a Performance, Style Performance, STS or Song. You can't select a User scale in Global mode.
