Korg 01/W pro - Page 12

Next, let's add a string section sound that plays whenever the organ
plays. Change the Key Window Bottom value of timbre 7 to F4, and
go back to page 0. Move the cursor to the Timbre Mode parameter
and change the value of this parameter to INT. Then change the
value of the Program parameter to “A07 TheStrings.” Now try playing
a few notes. You should hear the sound of strings along with the
organ.
Finally, let's give our new combination a name and save it. Go to page
9. Move the cursor to the second item, Rename Combination. The
alphabet will be displayed. Use cursor keys [G] and [H] to move the
cursor to the letters of the combination's name, and the VALUE slider
or the VALUE A and V keys to select the desired letters. To enter a
blank space in the name, lower the VALUE slider to the bottom most
position. We'll give our new combination the name "Q. Guide".
COMET A18 POSWRITE

Once you've named the combination, press the CURSOR UP key
once to select the “Write Combination” function. You can use the
VALUE slider or the VALUE A and V keys to select a different bank
and combination number as the location for storing the combination.
For now, however, let's keep the current setting of “A18”. Press cur-
sor key [É] ([WRITE]) to write the data to memory. Since the combina-
tion that was previously stored in the memory location you've selected
will be erased by the write operation, the 01/W pro displays a mes-
sage asking you if you're sure you want to continue. Press cursor key
[E] or [E] (YES) if you want to save your new combination.

The 01/W pro As a Multi-
timbral Tone Generator
About MID! Channels
You will normally place the 01W/ pro in Combination mode when us-
ing an external sequencer (i.e., personal computer with sequencer
software) to control the 01/W pro. The sequencer will send digital sig-
nals from its MIDI OUT jack to the 01/W pro telling it which notes to
play, at what velocity, and for how long. If the sequencer and the 01/W
pro are not set to the same MID! channel however, the latter will not
be able to receive the information that the former transmits. The MIDI
standard provides sixteen different channels that digital instruments
can use to communicate with each other. In order for them to ex-
change information, both the sending device and the receiving device
have to use the same channel.
Normally when you use a sequencer or computer to control 01/W pro
performances, you will want to assign each part---drums, bass,
strings, and so on---to one of the 16 MIDI channels.
Using the 01/W pro as a Multi-timbral Tone Generator
It is possible to assign a different MID! channel to each of the 01/W
pro's eight timbres, so that you can send note information to control
the performances of the programs assigned to each channel sepa-
rately. In other words, the 01/W pro has eight parts, and allows differ-
ent information to be transmitted to each part. Of course, not all the
parts need perform.
Tone generators which possess the ability to perform more than one
part simultaneously are called multi-timbral tone generators. (In fact,
the 01/W pro is capable of handling up to sixteen parts in Sequencer
mode. For details regarding this function, refer to the "Sequencer
‘Mode" section in the 01/W pro Owner's Manual.)
