Korg PA1000 Quick Guide

Choosing a Break
A break introduces a short pause in your song, creating a suspension and a
sense of surprise.
Style Element Suggested use
Break One-measure break
▪ When the Variation is nearing its end, press the BREAK button to play a
short musical break.
Choosing an Ending
To choose the right Ending for your song, please note that Ending 1 plays a
sequence with a prerecorded chord sequence and melody, while Ending 2
plays on the chord recognized on the keyboard.
Style Element Suggested use
Ending 1 Ending with prerecorded chord sequence and melody. If selected near
the end of the measure, it will only start at its end.
Ending 2 Ending with the chord recognized on the keyboard. If selected near the
end of the measure, it will only start at its end.
Ending 3 Two-measure Ending, starting immediately, without waiting for the
measure to end.
▪ When it is time to end the song, press one of the ENDING buttons on the
control panel to ‘book’ one of the Ending sections.
After the Ending, the Style will automatically stop.
Looping sections
If you feel that an Intro, a Break or an Ending should last longer than the
recorded pattern, you can put it in a cycling loop.
Set a Style Element to loop
▪ Press twice the button of the Intro, Break or Ending to put in loop.
The indicator on the button will start flashing, and the pattern will start re-
peating.
