Korg PA1000 Quick Guide

Playing and controlling the Sounds
Playing the keyboard
The instrument’s keyboard is like a piano keyboard. Just play it!
With some Sounds, you can press the keys while they are down, and the
sound might vary (for example, you might hear more vibrato).
Using the pedals
Pedals do different things depending on how they are programmed. The
Damper pedal is just that – a damper pedal, sustaining notes until you re-
lease the pedal. The Assignable pedal (or footswitch) may change depending
on how it is programmed in the Global > Controllers > Foot page.
Using the assignable knobs
The assignable knobs can control different things, like volume levels of the
different Sounds, the organ drawbars or some assignable functions. They
can be programmed in the Global > Controllers > Knobs page.
Using the assignable switches
Depending on the chosen Keyboard Set and the assigned DNC functions,
these controllers can do different things. The switches can either ‘book’
a function, that will be triggered while playing, or enable (or disable) it by
pressing the button to ‘toggle’ it.
