Korg Pa1X - Operating System Release; Improved Sts Name Panel; Beat Counter; Notes Play When Selected In Event Edit 2.0 - Korg Pa1X Handbuch

4 KORG Pa1X – Operating System release 2.0
Various Modes

Improved STS Name panel

Beginning with version 2.0, the selected STS name in the STS
Name panel is shown in reversed text. Furthermore, selecting an
STS by touching its name in the display has been made easier,
since the sensitive area is now wider.
Quarter Tone and Track Scale Assign trans-
mitted and received as SysEx messages
Beginning with operating system version 2.0, Quarter Tone
selection and activation of the Sub-Scale on each track of a Song,
can be received by MIDI (i.e., by an external sequencer or con-
troller).
Conversely, selection of Quarter Tone settings, or activation of
the Sub-Scale on each track of the Song, can be sent by the Pa1X
to an external MIDI recorder as System Exclusive data.
• The Quarter Tone can be modified in the Sub-Scale panel
of the main page of the Style Play or Song Play mode.
• The Sub-Scale can be assigned to each track of the Song in
the Sequencer > Mixer/Tuning > Sub-Scale page.

Beat counter

A Beat counter has been added to the main page of the Song Play
and Sequencer mode.

Notes play when selected in Event Edit 2.0

While in the Event Edit page (either in Style Record or
Sequencer mode), a recorded event plays when selected. This
way, you can hear a note while reading its name and editing it.
Editing of Velocity values by means of
curves and envelopes
In Style Record and Sequencer mode, the Velocity page (Edit
Style or Edit Song section) has been modified with operating
system version 2.0. An Advanced mode is now available, allow-
ing you to select a velocity curve for the selected range. This is
useful to create fade-ins or fade-outs.
2.0
Note: When an RX Sound is assigned to the track being edited, the
resulting sound may change, since this kind of Sounds is made of
several different layers triggered by different velocity values.
Also, a fade-out may result in the level "jumping" up next to the
zero, since a higher-level layer may be selected by low velocity val-
ues.
Advanced
When this checkbox is checked, the "Intensity", "Curve", "Start
Velocity Value" and "End Velocity Value" parameters can be
edited.
Intensity
2.0
(Only available in Advanced mode). Use this parameter to specify
the degree to which the velocity data will be adjusted toward the
curve you specify in "Curve".
0...100% Intensity value. With a setting of 0 [%], the veloc-
ity will not change. With a setting of 100 [%], the
velocity will be changed the most.
Curve
(Only available in Advanced mode). Use this parameter to select
one of the six curves, and to specify how the velocity will change
over time.
Start Value = 0%, End Value = 100%

Text Page Up and Text Page Down options
Text Page Up and Text Page Down are new options for the
Assignable Switches (available in Style Play and Song Play mode,
Pad/Assignable Switch section), and for the Footswitch and EC5
switches (available in Global mode, Controllers section).
These options let you move to the previous or next page, when
reading a text file loaded with a Song (see "Text files loaded with
Standard MIDI Files and MP3 files 1.50" on page 9) or Song
