Adding instruments to lower (chordal) part of the clavier
Hello and Merry Christmas!
Does anybody have an idea if (and how) it is possible to add more instruments to the lower clavier? (PA-1000)
On screen, we can select 3 instruments for the melody side and only one for the chordal side, marked as "lower".
I usually play bass there, but I would like to add a second one i.e a Kalimba, so I can play bass+kalimba with the left hand.
Thank you in advance!

Yes it is possible.
A new Sound of the combination of instruments you want grouped together would need to be created.
The limit for the overall polyphony would apply.
The One instrument already can be more than one instrument sound such as Movie Strings, so it is a case of creating the layered sound profile you want.
I cannot give you chapter a verse now as I will have to read the article in an issue of Korg World Magazine where the author of the article explains exactly how to do just what you seek.
Hence watch this space and I will try to post details before the Weekend (unless someone beats me to it)

Couldn't find a way to create a link to the post, so here's a copy of the tutorial in one of the threads explained by Qui Robinez (all credits to him!):
This is explained with only ONE oscillator, by using more than one, you can use multiple instruments in ONE sound.
QUI'S POST:
I've explained it in this thread: http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... p?t=115488
there is a lot of discussion there with some extra tips, but the basic start guide i wrote is copied here below.
How to program a sound on the Korg Pa
let me give you a quick start on how to do it on the korg pa
steps:
- press the sound button
- go to a free slot in the user area (for instance user - sound tab 2 - slot 1)
- if you only have slots filled with sounds then just select the sound you want to replace and press right top menu on the screen and select initialize sound.
If you done it correctly you will hear a dry piano sound which is the default on the Korg Pa series (on VA synths it's most of the time a Saw sound)
According to the video earlier in this thread you need to follow this structure to create a sound (recommended if you are new at sound programming)
Select Oscillator -> Set Filter -> Set Amp parameters (called EG in Korg terminologie) -> set effects
Select Oscillator
- press the menu button
- press the Basic tab on your screen
- you see that you have a sound that uses 1 oscillator. Let's leave it at that value to avoid the more complex sound setups
- press the osc tab at the bottom
- you have 1 oscillator at the top which uses the default piano sample (that's why you hear the piano sound), press the number 0000 and change it to a SAW sample by turning your jogwheel (or enter the number of the sample from your sample list in the manual) on the korg pa4x the sample number is: 1273 - Saw 1
- Now the piano is gone and you hear a saw sound to work with
There is a section below the top sample area, where you can still see the piano osc, but that one isn't used in this example, you can ignore it.
So you have finished the first part of the substractive synth tutorial and selected an oscillator to work with
Now the second part, sculp the sound to a more friendly one by adding a filter on top of it
Set the Filter:
- press the menu button again
- select the filter button on the screen
- select the default Low Pass filter resonance option at the top of the screen
- then press the number behind the frequency in the Filter A area (it's default 99)
- now lower that value to 45 by turning the wheel while you press a note, you will notice that the sound will sound darker (because you cut the high end of the frequency away this way).
the third part is to set the AMP also called ADSR or envelopes (EG) in synths.
- press the menu button
- press the amp button on the screen
- now the most important part of this section is the EG tab at the button of the screen, here you can sculp your sound like behaving as a pad or for instance a lead or bass sound. So Press the EG tab
- in this tab you can set the ADSR parameters (Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release) of a sound.
- For pads set the value 99 in the level area to 0, then you can sculp your pad in the time area, for instance Attack 77 and release 60 (the rest stays at 0), play something and you will hear a Saw Pad sound
- now change this same sound to a more trancy lead sound
- at the levels area: set Start to 0 - Attack to 99 - Break to 0 and Sustain to 0
- at the time area: set attack to 0 - Decay to 32 - Slope to 0 and Release to 0 , play something and you will hear a saw short lead sound instead of a pad.
Now the last part: add effects
- press the menu button
- press the effects button on the screen
- press the Master FX 1 dropdownlist to select a FX
- select: DEL stereo BPM delay and press the OFF button behind it on the screen to ON
- play something and you will hear a delayed trancy kind of lead
- press the exit button to return to your previous screen
- When you look at the Master MFX1 section you will see now the Del Stereo BPM delay and below that you will see the word: W/D 50/50 , select that and change the wet/dry level to your liking
- at the left you see a knob called Send 1, this determines how much of the original signal goes to that effect
the DO NOT FORGET part: Saving the sound
- press the right top menu button on your screen and select write sound
- give it a name and then you have created your first sound in the Korg PA
DONE!
Now the only thing left is your imagination, this is the most important skill a sound designer has to have. Every sound designer has it's own style. I recognise most of the sound designers just by listening to their work and this is a very important thing to develop yourself over the years. But all sounds on the korg pa series are based on the steps mentioned above. Now this was just one Oscillator, you can easely add another oscillator to add more possibilities to your sound by increasing the first step (number of oscs) to 2. Then you can for instance add a Marimba hit to your lead sound. And if you need another osc, just add the number 3, now you can create a sound that consist of three oscillators (samples) with their own behavior. The possibilities are huge then.
hope this helps a little to get you started creating your own sounds.
The above starters guide is of course a really basic start, there is lots and lots more possible then the things above, but my advise, just start with the things above mentioned. Everyone that develops sounds started with this. The more advanced things can come much later once you understand how to do this.

Thank you dear friends,
Although from the first look it seems a bit (and more
) complicated, it looks like the only way to go...
Of course, I was hoping that it would be something simple, like selecting from a drop down list of instruments, rather than building a sound from scratch.
I am a humble pianist, not a sound engineer, so I printed your answer on paper, in order to work it on the Korg.
I hope I will manage to reach my goal, and report back happy.
I thank you both for your time and effort!

This is what I did.p on my 700
Sound mode
Copy Dark Pad to a Use Bank
Exit
Select Movie Strings > Menu > Basic it shows 15 oscillators
Exit
Select Dark Pad from User Bank > Menu Basic > change oscillators from 2 to 17
From drop down menu select copy oscillator
Select Movie Strings
Select oscillator location as 3
Then go through from 3 to 17 adjusting the volume to -10dB
Save as Dark Pad + Strings
Job done
Then go into Style mode
Change upper 1 to Dark Pad + Strings and save as a new Keyboard Set.
Limiting factor is the total number of oscillators you wish to use in your sound, available memory also seems as though it may be a possible issue, I had to delete sounds from User Banks to be able to save my new registration.

LH with two sounds
Pa keyboards in my practical experience have many functions, which are not hidden, but are less known and therefore there are no publications related to them.
For example, you can design a style quite variable to alternately play/mute the bass and acc-sequences in the current style via chord recognition. You can also play a style alternately playing/muting acc-sequences and let play drum, percussion and bass tracks continued without having to take your hands off the keyboard.
It is also possible to play the different variations of a style alternately with muted/played or changed sounds/drum kits; you can also play up to 16 sounds on the keyboard etc.
The hidden possibilities are extensive and can be realized with the existing Pa functions, however, with some solutions, one should not think as restricted by the standardized way of playing as usual or as described in the manual.
*
*
Pa-keyboards can be played with up to three sounds in the Lower Keyboard - but then only with one sound in the Upper Keyboard. You can also play with two sounds in the lower and two sounds in the upper keyboard or with all four sounds overlapping over the entire keyboard area.
That is no good solution, because layered sounds are not not adjustable/selectable in direct access and separately as required.
QuiRobinez is a sound designer with it's own style - his Melliflous sounds are great and appreciate all his hard work. To add separate instruments to Lower Part they are less suitable.
.. that is the same with layered sounds. It is impossible with using amount of five oscillators as separate for each of realtime-tracks you really get not 5 sounds for LH and 15 sounds for RH (Upper1-3)
Step One - change "Keyboard Range" of a Sound for Lower to your virtual Split-Point:
In Sound > Basic > Range > Keyboard Range you can specify the note range for each selected oscillator of your Lower-Sound. Default for Bottom key of C-1 you may leave unchanged, but Top key set/change to assigned Note of your Split-Point you want to use - maybe B4.
Maybe you use "i3 Strings" for this application and its octave in mixer is set to +1, your Top Key of "i3 Strings" as user-sound for lower is B3.
Save this sound as user sound, maybe named L-i3String - now most important step is done.
Step Two:
Set real split-point to highest value - maybe G9 (Main View, Split)
Step Three: Programming the key range for upper
Go to the Keyboard/Ensemble > Range/Velocity (manual Page 180).
Set Top Key of Upper1 and Upper 2 to F9 (should be below split-point)
Set Bottom Key of Upper1 and Upper 2 to C4 (where Right Hand begins)
Set Top Key of Upper3 to B3 (where left Hand ends)
Step Four:
Split on/off and no additional step necessary - now save your settings (with Top Key / Bottom Key) in a KbdSet, to be used with Upper1 and Upper2 with Right Hand and Lower and Upper3 with Left Hand (now two Sounds on Lower Clavier)
Maybe somethins is wrong? If octave settings of Upper1 and Upper2 are not Zero, its Bottom Keys are to corrected accordingly. Same, if octave setting of Upper3 is not Zero, its Top Key is to correct accordingly. That only is necessary, if there are overlappings or gaps.
*
Now if you want to realise to play with three Left hand sounds, do same with Upper2 as done above with Upper3.
*
Sounds of Upper1, 2, 3 can be changed as usual, because its key ranges are not defined individual for sounds but for RH-Group in KbdSet.
Chord-Recognition now works as Full Keyboard - learn how to use Memory / Bass-Inversion / Manual-Bass with these settings.
Same with Ensemble-Functions - I am sure you will find a big amount of effects how to use your keyboard with that virtual split, ensemble on/of and Split on/of.
Don't be surprised at the behavior of the keyboard, which has never been possible before - but Pa-Keyboards can be used in that manner since more then 10 years.
Hope I could help.

You can create a user sound that consists of several sound samples (oscillators) and use that one (combined sound) as your lower sound. I think that's the easiest way to do it. Would be great if somebody (Korg?) would create a tutorial on the sound edit functions of the PA's.

Here you go again giving an opinion that means nothing.
The process as I described was written by a Pro Musician who also works for Korg hence it is a perfectly valid and workable solution.
It also precisely what Korg themselves have done in combining instruments that they have then used in the Lwr section of the Styles.
So in effect you are rubbishing Korg, yet again.
Perhaps a Genos would suit you better than a Pa!

Thank you Fransman,
maybe Pa3x-AdvancedEdit (download manuals from Korg) will help for someone interesting in sound-editing.
I know how to combine sounds with some oscillators respresenting different instruments. Also each single sound often use some oscillators, but not to build separate instruments with them, but addings sample characteristic for that single sound, to equip it as true to the original as possible. Combi sounds saved as a single sound compromises because the playback parameters apply to characteristics of different musical elements.
Therefore most factory sounds also can be used as second voice for Left hand without to be prepared extensively with sound editing.
I prefer using well known standard features for a solution playing left hand with two sounds und right hand with two sounds, with simply setting three parameters, saving them in a kbdSet and using the keyboard to play - maybe in an unusual way.takis46 wrote: .. lower clavier? (PA-1000). On screen, we can select 3 instruments for the melody side and only one for the chordal side, marked as "lower". I usually play bass there, but I would like to add a second one i.e a Kalimba, so I can play bass+kalimba with the left hand...
The three parameters Split, TopKey and BottomKey are set as follows:
Split = value G9, TopKey of Upper1,2 = value F9, Bottom Key of Upper1,2 = value C4, TopKey of Upper3 = value B3.
Save that setting in an KbdSet your keyboard acts like a functional area of keys for Left Hand, but also you can use using Upper-Voices with areas defined with individual keyranges as you want.
With that setting keyrange of Lower is the full keyboard. To limit its TopKey to same keyrange as Upper3, only one parameter (TopKey) of that sound oscillators for lower is to set to same value as Upper3. In that case that is value B3 (or B4 if using lower with +1 Oktave), before saving that sound as user-sound for Lower.
As Pa-Keyboard with that settings acts like made for Left Hand, you can mute/play Lower sound with Split=off/on (same with Ensemble-Voices).
Upper sounds can be selected as usual (with its volumes, effects, mix parameters etc).
There are certainly many different solutions - but to complete a setting like this with a pa keyboard within three minutes it is done. That's why for me it is a simple and most efficient solution for OP, without creating special two-in-one-combinations with sound edit. I like to use two independently controllable and usable single sounds ready for use.

You do not understand what I am talking about. If you are incapable of discussion at least let it be to comment stupid, non-factual.
Your posting is mull - unusable, contains no questing and no answers, and nothing that has to do with the matter, it's just insulting.

I did not ask you for that - also I wouldn't ask a brainless one like you.
Please unload your non-factual s**t somewhere else.

Combining some oscillators is an old hat - done with Pa-keyboards since more than ten years and was not reinvented in a webinar.

Ive been experementing with layering sounds in oscilators on my Pa700 got some quite nice results. As was mentioned in the previous posts sometimes there is more than one way of achieving the same result, but its whatever suits you the end user. The copying of oscilators is just the tip of the iceberg as there are some many perameters that you can edit (As with korg arrangers) to achieve results. It might ben an idea for members to share there creations and thus creating more content for our arrangers.
