Key/Chord copied to the whole Style 1.60
You can now copy the Key/Chord of the current Chord Variation
to all Style tracks (in all Chord Variations, i.e., the whole Style).
This option is added to the previous one, that only allowed you
to copy inside the current Chord Variation.
The Copy Key/Chord dialog box has been modified to include
the new option.
Current Chord Variation Tracks
The Key/Chord of the current track will be cop-
ied to all tracks of the current Chord Variation.
All Style Tracks
The Key/Chord of the current track will be cop-
ied to all tracks of the Style (i.e., all Chord Varia-
tions).
Import/Export of Standard MIDI Files
to/from Styles (Chord Variations)
Now, you can load Standard MIDI Files and convert them to
Pa1X's Chord Variations, to be used in a new Style (see "Import of
Standard MIDI Files to Styles (Chord Variations)" below).
Conversely, you can save any Style's Chord Variation as a Stan-
dard MIDI File (see "Export of Styles (Chord Variations) to Stan-
dard MIDI Files" below).
For this reason, the "SMF" page has been added to the "Import"
section of the Style Record mode:
Also, the Edit Menu of the Style Record mode has been modi-
fied, with the new "Export SMF" section added:
KORG Pa1X – Operating System release 2.0
Import of Standard MIDI Files to Styles
(Chord Variations)
The new "SMF" page has been added to the "Import" section.
The Import SMF function allows you to import MIDI data from
a Standard MIDI File (SMF) created on your preferred external
sequencer, and transform them in a Chord Variation.
Note: You cannot use this function to import data from any generic
Song. The Standard MIDI File to be imported must be pro-
grammed as if it was one of Pa1X's Chord Variations.
When importing an SMF, parameters like CV Length, Meter,
Tempo Changes, Program Changes and Expression are recog-
nized. These parameters will be imported as the header of the
Style Element containing the Chord Variation, provided the
"Initialize" parameter is checked, or the Style Element is empty.
Hint: It is a good idea to check the "Initialize" parameter when
1.50
importing the first Chord Variation of a Style Element, and
uncheck it when importing the following Chord Variations.
• Sounds assigned to each track can be imported, provided the
Program Change, Bank Select MSB and LSB events are on the
first 'tick' of the SMF. These data are loaded in the Style Ele-
ment's header, and not as Sounds assigned to the Style Perfor-
mance.
Note: Sounds in the Style Element header can be overridden by
Sounds assigned to the Style Performance, by checking the "Origi-
nal Style Sound" parameter in the main page of the Style Play
mode (Style Track view).
• If the above data was not found on the first 'tick' of the
imported SMF, Sounds must be manually assigned to each track.
You can do this in the "Record 1" or "Record 2", or the "Sound/
Expression" page of the Style Record mode,.
• Key/Chord, Chord Table, Expression, and any other Style Vari-
ation parameter, must be manually programmed in the relevant
Style Record pages.
• The starting Tempo, and each track's Volume, must be pro-
grammed as Style Performance data, and then saved in the Style
Performance.
• Meter Change is not allowed, therefore not recognized.
• The Chord Variation length is the same as the imported SMF.
You can change length by changing the value of the CV Length
parameter, on the main page of the Style Record mode.
Hint: If a note extends beyond the last measure of the Chord Varia-
tion, an additional measure is appended (for example, if a note
extends after the end of the fourth measure in a 4-measure pattern,
a 5-measure Chord Variation will be generated). If so, change the
CV Length value to reset the Chord Variation length. The exceeding
note will be cut, to fit the new pattern length.
