KingKORG NEO Owner's Manual
Carrier (CARRIER)
This is the basic sound (signal). The best choice for the carrier
waveform is a waveform that contains large numbers of overtones,
such as a sawtooth wave or a pulse wave with a fixed pulse width.
The outputs of the two sources timbre A and timbre B are mixed and
used as the carrier.
Modulator (MODULATOR)
This is the sound (signal) whose character is imposed on the carrier.
Typically, a human voice is used as the modulator input. On the
KingKORG NEO, you can select either the mic input (Input) or
timbre B (Timbre B) as the modulator. If you select timbre B, the
output of timbre B will be input to the vocoder's modulator.
Vocoder section (VOCODER)
This consists of two sets of sixteen bandpass filters (the analysis
filter, the synthesis filter and an envelope follower). The audio signal
input to the modulator is sent to sixteen filters (the analysis filter),
and an envelope follower will detect the volume envelope (time-
variant change) of each frequency band. The carrier signal is sent to
a separate set of sixteen filters (the synthesis filter), and the envelope
detected from the analysis filter is used to control the
volume of each band in the synthesis filter, thus varying the tonal
character of the carrier signal and producing the impression that the
carrier signal is talking. It is also possible to shift the frequencies of
the carrier bandpass filter. This allows you to raise or lower the
frequency response while preserving the character of the modulator,
creating dramatic changes in the sound.
Basic program editing
1 .
How to create sounds
There are two ways to edit sounds on the KingKORG NEO.
₋ You can select a program that's close to the sound you want, and
create the desired program by making the necessary changes.
₋ You can start editing the program from scratch (an initialized state).
Choose a method, and get started creating and playing your own
sounds!
Editing from a saved program
1.
Select the program that you want to edit. (OM: p.14
"Selecting a program")
2.
Operate the front panel knobs and dial.
Consider how the sound you're imagining differs from the
original program, and select the parameter that you need to edit.
If you select another program or turn off the power before
you've written your edited program, the changes you made
will be lost. (OM: p.21 "2. Saving a program")
If you want to create a program from scratch
If you want to create a program from scratch, start by initializing a
program. (OM: p.20 "1. Initializing a program")
This results in a set of simple and easily understandable settings,
which will help you understand how each section works, and will be
convenient when creating a sound from scratch.
2 .
Editing two timbres
In each program, you can use two timbres: TIMBRE A and TIMBRE B.
TIP: You can't select TIMBRE B if the PROGRAM "p03: Common"
page Voice Mode parameter is set to "Single." If "Layer" or
"Split" is selected, the TIMBRE A/B buttons will light to indi-
cate the timbre that you're editing.
TIP: The voice mode parameter in the PROGRAM "p03: Common"
page is common to the entire program.

Using two timbres (Layer)
When using two timbres, you have a choice of two modes that
determine how the timbres will work. In this example, we'll set the
PROGRAM "p03: Common" page Voice Mode parameter to "Layer."
When you set this parameter to "Layer," the two timbres will be
heard simultaneously when you play the keyboard.
1.
Use the PAGE +/− buttons to access the PROGRAM "p03
Common" page.
2.
Turn the value dial to set the voice mode to "Layer."
The TIMBRE A button and the master effect timbre LEDs will
light up.
Selecting a timbre to edit
When editing a program that uses two timbres, you'll need to select
a timbre to edit.
Use the TIMBRE A/B buttons to select the timbre that you want to
edit. The timbre select button you selected will light up, allowing
you to edit that timbre.
Editing the filter and EG
On the KingKORG NEO you can use the front panel knobs and
buttons to control the filter and EG in real time.
You can choose one of three ways in which the knobs will work
when you turn them. (PG: "6. GLOBAL parameters")
FILTER
Cutoff (CUTOFF)
This adjusts the cutoff frequency of the filter. The brightness of
the sound will change. Turning the knob toward the left will
darken the sound; turning it toward the right will brighten the
sound.
Resonance (RESONANCE)
This adjusts the amount of resonance for the filter. Resonance
adds a distinctive tonal character.
EG (Envelope Generator)
Attack (ATTACK1, ATTACK2)
This adjusts the attack time of EG1 (filter EG) and EG2 (amp
EG). The attack specifies the time from note-on (the moment you
press the key) until the attack level is reached. It changes the
way in which EG1 and EG2 will start. Turning the knob toward
the left will shorten the attack time; turning it toward the right
will lengthen the attack time.
Decay (DECAY1, DECAY2)
This adjusts the decay time of EG1 (filter EG) and EG2 (amp EG). The
decay specifies the time from when the attack level is reached until the
sustain level is reached. Turning the knob toward the left will shorten
the decay time; turning it toward the right will lengthen the decay time.
Sustain (SUSTAIN1, SUSTAIN2)
This adjusts the sustain level of EG1 (filter EG) and EG2 (amp
EG). The sustain specifies the level that is reached after the decay
time has elapsed and is sustained as long as you hold down the
key. Turning the knob toward the left will lower the sustain level;
turning it toward the right will raise the sustain level.
