Greetings, everyone

I have a PA700 and have since the end of September 2017. I LOVE this thing and it is my favorite keyboard, right along with my Ensoniq VFX-SD.

Anyway, when I record MP3s on the unit, what I do is record my solos over a pre-done MP3 sound-bed that I created in my studio using lots of other gear. I copy the sound-bed over to the PA700 and go into the MP3 Record Mode.

While I am in the record mode playing my solos and creating a new MP3 with the combined data from the original MP3 and my live soloing, I know that I can switch between the 4 STS settings for the different sounds I want to use while soloing.

The problem is that I cannot turn on/off individual sounds in my STS settings because the MP3 Recording screen is in the way and it will not allow me to 'open another window' to the STS itself to turn individual parts on/off.

Is there a way to do it, or am I at the mercy of the STS settings as they are when I initially call up the STS to begin with? I am thinking the answer is 'No' and if so, maybe Korg could add this to a future update...

I welcome any suggestions/comments on my query.

Grace,
Harry

It may come in a future update, I think in the Pa4x next update you can do this from the videos I've seen.

Just press the exit button during recording - recording will continue...

Thank you for the replies

I tested your suggestion, hitting Exit in MP3 record mode, and it does work. I will now try to turn on/off voices in the keyboard set while recording and see if that works too.

If you hit the MP3 record button while it is recording, after you exited the screen when it is recording, the recording screen will reappear so you can stop the current recording session.

I am glad that Korg put something in the OS to allow for that.

I know a lot of people use the STS sets to play different sounds within any given song. I use it a bit differently, as I often do medleys of songs during a performance and use the STS to have different instruments based on the current song being played. Theoretically, I could play more than 4 songs within the current style; just switch the sounds via STS and change tempo, and you are playing a new song using the same style as the last song

Another thing that would be neat is if the Pad settings were based on the STS selected and not the style. That would add more functionality to the keyboard as well.

Grace,
Harry
