Adding variety to the sound
In addition to its keyboard, the KingKORG NEO provides numerous
controllers such as the joystick, knobs, and buttons. You can vary the
sound by using these controllers to control the filter, LFO, and EG in
real time while you play.
Using the controllers
Joystick (JS)
You can control various parameters and effects by moving the
joystick in four directions (up/down/left/right). The result will be
different for each program; try each controller to hear what it
does for the program you've selected.
TIP: "Joystick" is abbreviated as JS.
−X
Pitch down, etc.
TIP: When you release the joystick, it will automatically return
to the center position. However if you want to hold the
joystick effect so that it will continue even after you take
your hand off the joystick, you can assign the joystick lock
function to a foot switch. (PG: "8. Foot parameters")
TIP: You can use the joystick as a virtual patch source. This
lets you obtain even richer and more complex effects than
those listed above. (PG: "2. Timbre parameters")
Playing the keyboard
The KingKORG NEO's keyboard lets you control the sound in the
following ways.
Velocity
This allows the force (speed or velocity) of how you play a key
to affect the sound. Normally, key velocity is used to control the
tone or volume.
The KingKORG NEO's keyboard does not support
aftertouch. Some sounds will produce little or no tonal
variation in response to key velocity, or are set not to
detect velocity.
Keyboard tracking
This allows the sound to be affected by the note's position on the
keyboard. Normally, keyboard tracking is used to make the tone
become brighter as you play higher on the keyboard, or to create
a difference in volume between low and high regions of the
keyboard.
TIP: Velocity and keyboard tracking can be used as a virtual
patch source. (PG: "2. Timbre parameters")
