KORG PA-80 Demonstration and Sales Guide

Using the Backing Sequencer
So, now that you know how to pick and choose all kinds of elements are you ready to put it all together?
Lets do a little demo. Don’t jump the gun – for now, stay in the STYLE PLAY mode. Follow along with my
example; later you can try this with your own sounds and styles. We will begin by recoding the
accompaniment tracks. Then we will do a few simple edits, and finally overdub some Real-time parts.
1. Begin by selecting a STYLE. In this case I am using “FIREROCK” in the ROCK Bank.
2. Select VARIATION 3 of this STYLE.
3. Select STS 1
4. Press the INTRO 1 button. The INTRO 1 button will light, and the VARIATION 3 button will
begin to flash, indicating it will begin playing when the intro is done
5. Play a Chord (of at least three notes) in the Left hand side of the keyboard. I’m playing a
Csus4 (C, F, G). The upper left hand side of the DISPLAY will show the chord root and name.
6. NOW Press the B. SEQ MODE button.
7. Press RECORD at the upper left of the display
8. Select REAL TIME RECORDING from the DISPLAY Menu
9. PAY ATTENTION – here is the tricky part, (READ THIS BEFORE YOU TRY IT!!)
a) First press the PLAY/STOP button for SEQUNCER 1, located beneath the display and to
the left. This will start the sequencer, and you will hear a four count from the metronome
before recording begins.
b) Before this count off ends, press the Big, Red START/STOP button to start the STYLE.
10. Wait for the INTRO to finish, and play some chord changes in the left hand.
11. Press the PLAY / STOP button to stop recording
12. Press PLAY/STOP again to hear your work!
Overdubbing the Real-Time Tracks
Now that you have some information recorded in your BACKING SEQUENCER, you can play along and add
your playing to the sequencer. If you are still in the RECORD MODE, press the RECORD button to exit.
1. Press the RECORD button again.
2. Select REALTIME RECORDING in the DISPLAY
3. Use the LOWER/ACC5 edit key to highlight the CH/ACC: mode
4. Using the value wheel, set the status to :PLAY. Now the backing tracks you have already
recorded will not be erased when you record.
5. Press the PLAY/STOP button and the sequencer will begin playing. Play along and hit the
PLAY/STOP button again when you are done.
6. Press PLAY/STOP again to hear your work!
