Workshop.

Integration of Pads into Style-Tracks (Edit)
This Workshop (Tutorial or How-To) has been created using a Korg Pa800 with OPERATING System Version 2.01 installed. Information also applies to a Korg Pa2Xpro and should also be adaptable/appropriate for Pa1X (pro) Users. In this example, a previously prepared PAD / or even factory PAD is copied to a target style (e.g.: new MIX-Style, consisting of the other tracks from original style A with the drum track from PAD B integrated) and afterwards saved as new USER-Style. But first: Select the STYLE PLAY Mode!

Now we BEGIN !

READY!

This will work also with all the other Tracktypes. however, you have to give the correct track type and your required choice of Variation. NOTICE ! Korg-OS watches different pattern-lengths while the copy-actions fit to the intentions of the operator! If there is a gap on counting the length of mixed patterns at the end of the pattern-length. the Gap is filled up automatically from the beginning until there is no acoustic/musical break !

You will find Customised and READY TO USE PAD-Sets to download for free on my private Homepage. You can use them as MASTER COPY Source ! I have selected the most interesting and exciting style tracks from a broad selection of all the internal factory-styles. Among them you will find: Walking Bass, Swing-Drums, Piano-voicings, percussion tracks. Announcing for the future, I will offer the best RX-Riffs (from A- and E- Guitars) from the real opulence of the KORG Styles. So stay tuned in to my Internet Homepage. Also, for the best, is combining max 4 PADs of this SET as a neverending construction Set for live- creation of smooth dinner and lounge styles. This style category doesnt really need 8 fully implemented playing tracks, there is even a sufficient result when combining a DRUM / BASS / PIANO or DRUM / PERC / GUITAR or even a DRUM / PERC / BASS / - PAD ! You can vary in style among the 90 (in words: NINETY) Constructed Pads over there! And now for the best: You can fly them in beatsynchronized to any factory or user-style you have preloaded! Just mute the DRUM track (or other track types) of the selected style and get the prepared :DR:padxyz playing with the style together ! On My Website Homepage there is the explanation with a key of naming-conventions about my PADs. If you have found this Tutorial helpful and you like my work: you are kindly invited to give me a (hopefully positively) entry in my Guestbook English written messages are welcome also! I wish you great success in Your work!
At this section of my workshop I want to say many, many special thanks to Mr. Keith Ball alias MrNiceAndEasy and his kind advice and corrections for a perfect translation of this workshop into ENGLISH ! He also spent a lot of time in finally getting this workshop published !
