ANOTHER KORG GEM

When you make a keyboard set or performance if you want only one or all of your upper sounds to transpose just press shift and + or _ and a screen will pop up and you can set any one or all of the 3 upper sounds to go up or down then you can save to keyboard set. This a lot better than going into sound edit and you can do it on the fly. I'm loving this new pa 1000.

Great tip Mel, thank you!

Transposing only some voices and leaving along others... can be helpful in writing scores for horrow movies!

I'm talking about just moving the upper tracks up or down in octaves only. Real handy when you just want to drop strings on track 2 1 octave and keep tracks 1 and 3 where they are. for example if you have piano on upper 1 strings on upper 2 and choir on upper 3. It can make the keyboard set a lot richer if desired.

That is a positive improvement. I don't like raising or lowering octaves all three voices at once as with my Yamaha.

Another tip:
PA4X (don't know about 1000) has velocity control where you can access such features as BREAK/FILL by key velocity. You can set the degree of velocity that triggers the feature. There are a number of functions it can do.

This is new info for me, never seen any demo of it, or any mention it till now.
How to make it play reminds me about the neat feature 'Dynamic Accomp' at a former brand .....

Thanks Don, another tip in my tip book

Suprised Fran did not butt in here, as I recall that my Roland E70 as well as the Roland G800 and I presume also the famed G70 had a truly Dynamic Accompaniment in that you could set values of +64
to -64 for each and every acc. track thus allowing you to be very expressive. I have always wondered why a reknowned makes such as Korg and Yamaha did away with that. I sorely missed it after moving from Roland to Korg, I guess now I have got used to it.
But is was a superb feature on these boards.

Dynamic Accomp, probably not as necessary now a days as it might have been on the old technics range. If memory serves me correctly, it played a slightly different variation of the current Variation you were using.
( if that makes sense)
That can be achieved on a korg with it’s 6 cv parts, by having slightly different style tracks and setting different chord types. Ie you get a slightly different variation depending on the chord type you play.

Good example is the Pa4x piano ballad, though personally I found it a bit unusable, too busy with some chord types , ie maj worked fine, 7 th sometimes unusable, so I edited down, now works for me , even if it is a bit more bland.
