User manual KORG TR RACK

[. . . ] Operate this unit at a suitable distance from radios and televisions. Handling To avoid breakage, do not apply excessive force to the switches or controls. Care If the exterior becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene or thinner, or cleaning compounds or flammable polishes. Keep this manual After reading this manual, please keep it for later reference. Keeping foreign matter out of your equipment Never set any container with liquid in it near this equipment. If liquid gets into the equipment, it could cause a breakdown, fire, or electrical shock. Be careful not to let metal objects get into the equipment. [. . . ] This is effective when creating kick or tom sounds. (Envelope) MOD DEPTH (modulation depth) –100. . . 0. . . 100 Adjust the depth and direction of the pitch modulation. Positive (+) settings (right) and negative (–) settings (left) will invert the direction of the pitch modulation effect. When the knob is positioned in the center (0), the Modulation Type and Modulation Speed will have no effect. MOD SPEED (modulation speed) 0. 1 Hz. . . 5, 000 Hz Adjust the speed of pitch modulation. Rotating the knob toward the right will speed up the pitch modulation, allowing you to apply cross-modulation effects. AMP These parameters control the volume and panning. DECAY 0. . . 100 Adjust the speed at which the volume will decay. For Audio In parts, this will function as a gate time (duration of the sound) synchronized to the tempo. PAN L. . . R Set the stereo position (panpot) of the sound. When the knob is located in the center, the sound will be heard from the center. Rotating the knob toward the left will place the sound toward the left, and rotating the knob toward the right will place the sound toward the right. Delay Delay Right input Right output If Cross Modulation is on, PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 2 will not sound by itself. You can use Cross Modulation only in the combination of PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 and 2. The timbre and volume may vary depending on the timing at which PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 and 2 are sounded. PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 The delay effect will apply to the entire rhythm pattern, and it is not possible to change the effect independently for each part. TYPE MOTION SEQ, TEMPO DELAY Each time you press the key, the effect will alternate between Normal (LED dark), MOTION SEQ, and TEMPO DELAY. When Normal is selected, the effect will function as a conventional delay. MOTION SEQ (motion sequence) The motion sequence will control the delay (refer to p. 28 "Motion Sequence"). By using the TYPE key to switch the type of delay, you can record delay knob movements as a Motion Sequence, or use the effect as a Tempo Delay. Modulation CROSS MOD (Cross Modulation) This produces sound with a complex overtone structure by using the audio signal produced by percussion synth part 2 to rapidly modulate the frequency (pitch) of the percussion synth part 1 oscillator. If you want to edit the cross modulation sound, start by using the sequencer to create a rhythm pattern for percussion synth part 1 and percussion synth part 2. Then press the Play key to play back the pattern while you edit the sound. Left input Left output 4. Pattern mode The effect may be difficult to notice if the level of one signal is too low, or if the decay time is too short. When the ring modulation effect is on, the level and pan settings of PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 or of AUDIO IN 1 and 2 parts will take priority. When ring modulation is on, no sound will be output unless both parts are played simultaneously. Depending on the settings of both parts, very loud sounds may be output. Please adjust the level of each part appropriately. The tone and volume of Ring Modulation may vary depending on the timing at which Percussion Synthesizer 1 and 2 are sounded. Length, Scale/Beat settings You can set the length (the length of the entire pattern) and the basic beat (time signature). The Length and Scale/Beat you specify here will affect the correspondence between step keys and note values, and the maximum number of steps as shown in the following diagram. While you hold down the SHIFT key, the step keys will light to indicate the length and beat of the current pattern. To change the Length, hold down the SHIFT key and press a Step Key 1. . . 4. To change the Beat/Scale, hold down the SHIFT key and press a Step Key 5. . . 7. [. . . ] Use the Clear Event operation to erase unwanted events from the song (p. 37). Protect was turned "on" for the memory into which you attempted to write data. In Global mode, turn the Protect setting "oFF" (p. 39). When event-recording on a song, event data memory has filled up.
