Chord Sequencer

Is it possible to step record the chord sequencer?
My main reason to use the Chord sequencer would be where there are fast changing advanced chords that I can't change last enough live. If it was a slow song with simple chords I wouldn't need a sequencer.

I may be wrong but I seem to remember being able to step record on the PA4x

Thanks

I totally agree that 'step chord recording' would be a 100% necessary option. As well as the possibility to edit already recorded sequences.
Pretty sure Korg will add those functionalities in the near future. It's just unlogical not to have them on board. Keep asking about that everywhere.
P.S. I doubt pa4x had this, though.

Try slowing down the tempo and playing it . Seems on both the Pa4x and Pa5x this is the case. No stepping on Sequences. So I wouldn't hold my breath on updates.

Yes, “Step Recording” is on the Pa4x. Great feature that I use often. Also the “Midi to Style Creator” is fab, my very best songs were created with this. But that’s another story.

Page 346 of the Pa4x Manual.

Customizing, recording and editing the Songs.

Step Recording a Song.

Step Recording allows you to create a new Song by entering single notes or chords into each track. This is very useful when transcribing an existing score, or in need for a higher grade of detail, and is particularly suitable to create drum and percussion tracks.

In Overdub Step Recording mode you will add to existing events, while in Overwrite Step Recording mode you will overwrite all existing events.

Accessing Step Recording. --------------and much more to explain how it is done.

Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention that "Step Recording" is also on my other Korgs, Pa1000 and Pa700. And so is the "Midi to Style Creator".

All three keyboards have great editing features and so much more. I agree with you guys on the forum and puzzled why the Pa5x could not be better than it is at the moment.

Take care.

It's not about that

)) Nobody asked about the "step recording" as such here. The question was regarding step recording of the CHORDS in the chord-sequencer.
There was no step recording of the CHORDS in any PA, so far.

But is it really necessary when all you have to do is:
Slow-Down the TEMPO............ While you INPUT your complex Chords.

Yes, that makes sense.. but what is really necessary is the editing facility, so we don't have to start over in a case of mistake. Also, it would be so nice to be able to change a chord type in an existing cord sequence.
..and one more, EXTREMELY important: changing the key of a sequence, without using the transpose function is a must-have!

Apologies all, I misread the OP. From now on I will stick to what I know best, the 4X. Realise now that 5X is a different machine so I have learnt something and that`s what the forum is about.

Good luck to you all.

Intresting............ But i dont understand that
How can you change the key of a sequence
without Transposing it ?

I can only play in the Key of: "C"
So im forced to transpose for various singers
who dont sing in the key of "C"

.

Ok, just put it another way:
transposing the chord sequence and transposing all the rest should be separate from each other.
Say, you have a chord sequence in D, but you only play in the Key of: "C", so you want to transpose the sequence. Once you transposed and changed your sequence's key to C, the keyboard is also transposed, so you can't play it as you normally do (in C).
You can disable the keybed transpose, but it's too complicated and (kind of) solve the problem, but you will face other issues if you do that. Why we just simply can't change the sequence key? so all chords are changed to whatever you want, but the keyboard stays in normal position or can be transposed separately.
Just think about it. It's more than logical! Think about band-in-a-box or very old YamahaVA (if you remember that one). That's where I am coming from.
Make sense?
Sorry, if I didn't explain it properly, my English is not that good. Feel free to ask me if still unclear.
