The SongBook
Selecting the desired entry from the Main List
One of the most powerful features of the Pa800 is the onboard music database, that allows you to
organize your Styles and Songs (in SMF, KAR and – optionally – MP3 format) for easy retrieving.
Each entry of this database may include the artist, title, genre, number, key, tempo, and meter of a
specified song. When selecting one of the entries, the associated Style, Standard MIDI File or MP3 file
– as well as the Style Play or Song Play mode – is automatically recalled.
In addition to helping you organizing your shows, the SongBook allows you to associate up to four
STSs to each Standard MIDI File or MP3 file. This way, it is easy to recall a complete setup for Key-
board tracks, effects, and the Voice Processor, for realtime playing over a Standard MIDI File or MP3
file.
Also, you can link a text file to a Standard MIDI File, MP3 file or to a Style, to read the Lyrics in the
display or in an external monitor, even if there are no Lyrics events in the midifile or MP3 file, or if
you prefer to play the song live with the help of the Styles.
You can add your own entries to the SongBook, as well as edit the existing ones. Korg has already sup-
plied some hundred entries as standard. Furthermore, the SongBook allows you to create various cus-
tom lists, that may suit your different shows.
Selecting the desired entry from the Main List
A large database is already included with the instrument, and you can later customize it. You may
browse through this database in a variety of ways.
1 While you are in Style Play or Song Play mode, press the SONGBOOK
button to open the SongBook window.
