Style/Pad Record
Import: Import SMF
Hint: If a note extends beyond the last measure of the Chord Vari-
ation, an additional measure is appended (for example, if a note
extends after the end of the fourth measure in a 4-measure pat-
tern, 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.
When programming a Chord Variation on an external
sequencer, please assign each Style track to the correct MIDI
channel, according to the following table.
When programming a Chord Variation on the external
sequencer, please assign the Pad track to the MIDI channel #10.
Note: Only SMF in format 0 can be loaded.
From Song
This is the name of the Standard MIDI File to be loaded. Touch
the Select button to open the file selector, and select an “.SMF”
file.
Select
Touch this button to open the file selector and load the SMF.
Initialize
Check this parameter if you want all settings of the target Style
Element (i.e., Key/Chord, Chord Table, Sounds…) are reset
when loading the SMF.
Hint: It is a good idea to check the “Initialize” parameter when
importing the first Chord Variation of a Style Element, and
uncheck it when importing the following Chord Variations.
To E/CV
Use this parameter to select a target Chord Variation.
Execute
After setting all parameters in this page, touch this button to
import the Standard MIDI File into the target Chord Variation.
Importing an SMF separated by Markers into
a Style
As an alternative to importing single Chord Variations, you can
import a whole Style as an SMF separated by Markers, i.e., a sin-
gle SMF containing all the Chord Variations (Variation 1, Varia-
tion 2, etc.) each one separated by a Marker (the same events
used in Song Play mode).
1. While in this page, touch the Select button, and choose the
Standard Midi File to be imported.
2. Keep the SHIFT button pressed.
3. Without releasing the SHIFT button, touch the Execute
button in the display.
4. Release the SHIFT button.
When creating a new Style, we suggest to check the “Initialize
checkbox. Do not check it if the SMF you are loading was previ-
ously exported from a Style to be edited; in this case, it is very
important to keep all the previous settings.
Style Tracks and MIDI Channels must be lined as in the previous
table, as per Korgs standard Style format definition.
Note: Tracks/MIDI Channels other than the above mentioned are
ignored during the import procedure.
For a list of MIDI events supported during the import opera-
tions, please see “List of recorded events” on page 197. If any, the
following events are stripped off and automatically transferred to
the Style Element header during the import procedure:
Time signature (this event is mandatory)
Control Change bundle #00-32 (Bank Select MSB/LSB)
Program Change
Control Change #11 (Expression)
Control Change 00, Control Change 32 and Program Change
messages must be placed at the very beginning of each Chord
Variation (tick 0).
