STS Mode

Post by smstome »

I remember switching off 'STS Mode' button leaves all the sts settings unchanged while we change the style.

But now i am unable to do it.
Bug in 1.6 ??
Someone please confirm.

Thanks in advance.

No, only actual sounds and effects do not change, but STSs are always linked to Style. From Manual, page 9:

STS MODE
This button cycles between the following functions.

On When a different Style (or the same again) is selected, STS 1 is automatically selected. The Keyboard sounds and effects will change, along with the Style sounds and effects.
Flashing Variation/STS Link function activated. This func- tion makes each Variation recall the correspond- ing STS when selected. For example, select Variation 2, and STS 2 will be automatically recalled; select Variation 3, and STS 3 will be automatically recalled.
Off When you select a different Style (or the same again), the Style sounds and effects will change. The Keyboard sounds and effects will not change.

No, the STSs are linked to style since PA2X (may be PA1X), but with "STS MODE" off normal PA3X doesn't load STS1 automatically: only when you select manually any STS you load STS linked to specific style.

If with STS MODE off you have a change sounds changing style without selecting any STS you have some trouble, it is not a normal behavior: may be you must contact Korg assistance.

Good luck,
Claudio
