Choosing the SongBook Entries
What is the SongBook?
The basic idea behind the SongBook is that you always start from a song.
By choosing an Entry from the SongBook, you choose a template for that
song. Everything you need (style, song, sounds, voice or guitar effects, lyr-
ics, key, tempo value) is there at the touch of a single button.
In other words, the SongBook is the onboard music database, allowing
you to organize the Styles and Songs for easy retrieving. Each Entry of
this database (a ‘song’) may include information like the artist, title, genre,
number, key, tempo, and meter (time signature) of a specified song. When
choosing one of the Entries, the associated Style, MIDI or MP3 Song – as
well as the Style Play or Song Play mode – is automatically recalled. The
Master Transpose value is automatically set. A Voice or Guitar Preset
might also be recalled.
In addition to helping you organize your shows, the SongBook allows you
to assign up to four Pads, and up to four Keyboard Sets to each Entry. Also,
you can link a TXT file to any Entry, to be used as the Lyrics of a song, even
if there are no Lyrics inside the associated MID or MP3 file, or if you prefer
to play the song live with the backing of the Styles.
You can add your own Entries to the SongBook, as well as edit the ex-
isting ones. KORG already supplies some hundred Entries as standard.
Furthermore, the SongBook allows you to create various Set Lists, that
are collections of Entries that will suit your different types of show, and
you can choose with the dedicated buttons on the control panel.
Internal and Direct SongBook
In addition to the internal SongBook, residing in your Pa1000, you can also
choose Entries and Set Lists from an external, Direct SongBook, that will
extend your internal database on the fly. How to select it is explained in
The Direct data on page 900.
