Korg PA800
Bir Style nasıl oluşturulur?
1. Neler gereklidir?
Midi çıkışlı Bilgisayar
Sequencer programı (Cakewalk, Cubase***8230;)
PA Style Tool (PaStyleToMidi.zip) Win 95-98-NT-2000-XP
Midi Kablosu (Midi sinyallerini PA800e yollamak için)
Korg PA800 / PA1X / PA80

Benim çalışmlarımda kullandığım sistem ve programlar:
Bilgisayar Pentium IIII
Cakewalk® Pro Audio 9.02 (Sequencer programı)
PA Style Tool
USB Midiport

2. Midi-File bu şekilde bilgisayarınızda bulunması gerekiyor:
- Format 0
- midi «C» notasından çalınmış olacak, aksi halde transpose yap
- PA800in orjinal sesleri kullanılmış olacak (paylaşma olayından dolayı)
- Sysex Datalar silenecek
- Expression, Reverb, Chorus, Patch ayarları birinci tikde bulunacak
- Volume ve Pan ayarını sonra PA800de ayarlıyoruz (Mixer ayarları)

Kanal 1-8 boş
Kanal 9 Bass
Kanal 10 Drum
Kanal 11 Percussion
Kanal 12 ACC1 Akor veya Solo enstruman
Kanal 13 ACC2 Akor veya Solo enstruman
Kanal 14 ACC3 Akor veya Solo enstruman
Kanal 15 ACC4 Akor veya Solo enstruman
Kanal 16 ACC5 Akor veya Solo enstruman

3. Yeni Dosya oluşturma
Cakewalkda 10 tane yeni midi dosyası oluşturuyoruz ve açık bırakıyoruz. Dosyaların isimleri:

e1cv1.mid ending 1
e2cv1.mid ending 1
f1cv1.mid fill in 1
f2cv1.mid fill in 2
i1cv1.mid intro 1
i2cv1.mid intro 2
v1cv1.mid variation 1
v2cv1.mid variation 2
v3cv1.mid variation 3
v4cv1.mid variation 4

4. Mezurları kopyalama
Hazırladığınız mididen istediğinız mezurlari kopyalayıp bu 10 tane midilere yapıştırın. Dikkat midilerin uzunluğu 16 mezuru geçmeyecek. Midi dosyalarını bilgisayarınıza kaydedin.

5. PA Style Tool (PaStyleToMidi)
PA800 Style Tool da her hangi bir .sty dosyasını açınız. PA800 in setlerinde Style klasöründe bulabilirsiniz.
- istediğin style***8217;i tıkla
- ***8220;import style from SMFs with Standart names***8221; tıkla
- Replace tıkla
- 10 tane midi dosyalarını seç ve çağır
- isimlendirmek için ***8220;New Style***8221; Ctrl tusu ile beraber tıkla
- isimlendir
- user01.sty olarak kaydet
6. PA800deki işlemler
- hazirladiğimız seti açıyoruz (open)
- style klasörünü açıyoruz (open)
- user01.sty çağırıyoruz (Load)
- edit olacak style***8217;yi seç ***8220;RECORD***8221; tuşuna bas
- Current Style seç
- var1, var2, var3***8230;.end2 hepsini tek tek gözden geçir
- CV Len= mezur
- Root= PA800 maj/minörleri sol ellen bastıgın gibi çalar

- No Trsp= PA800 maj/minörleri midide nasıl çalındıysa, öyle tekrarlar.
(sololu introlarda, fillin***8217;lerde veya ending***8217;lerde).

bu işlemler bittikten sonra ***8220;RECORD***8221; tuşuna basıp, style ***8220;write to***8221; yapınız.
(x2'nin de softwaresi aynı olduğu için işlemler benzerdir)

Importing/exporting Styles as SMF separated Markers

This document explains how to import/export Styles as Standard Midi Files (SMF from now on) separated Markers, on a Pa2X/Pa800 with Operative System version 2.0 or higher.

What is an SMF separated Markers?

In our case, an SMF separated Markers it is a single SMF containing all the Chord Variations (Variation 1, Variation 2, etc.) each one separated a Marker (something we know about, as they are also used in Song Play mode). Instead of having to import or export a different SMF for each Chord Variation, as we had to do before the release of OS 2.0, now we can import or export a single SMF for all the Chord Variations in a single pass. This indeed looks faster and more reliable.

The relevant procedures can be found in Style Record mode:

· Import SMF: Select the SMF file to be loaded, then keep the SHIFT button pressed and touch the Execute button in the display to load it. While creating a new Style, we suggest to check the "Initialize" box. Do not check it if the SMF you are loading was previously exported from a Style to be edited; in this case, it is very important to keep all the previous settings.

· Export SMF: Keep the SHIFT button pressed and touch the Execute button in the display to select the file destination and export the Style as an SMF separated Markers.

Importing an SMF separated Markers into a Style
Importing an SMF separated Markers is very similar to importing a single SMF into single Chord Variations. This procedure is described in the User's Manual. However, in this case you can import all Chord Variations in a single pass.

Style Tracks and MIDI Channels must be lined as follows, as per Korg's standard Style format definition:

Style Track
MIDI Channel

Bass
09

Drum
10

Percussion
11

Accompaniment 1
12

Accompaniment 2
13

Accompaniment 3
14

Accompaniment 4
15

Accompaniment 5
16


Note: Tracks/MIDI Channels other than the above mentioned are ignored during the import procedure.

For a list of MIDI events supported during the import operations, please check the User's Manual. If any, the following events are stripped off and automatically transferred to the Style Element header during the import procedure:

· Time signature (this event is mandatory)

· Control Change bundle #00-32 (Bank Select MSB/LSB)

· Program Change

· Control Change #11 (Expression)

Control Change 00, Control Change 32 and Program Change messages must be placed at the very beginning of each Chord Variation (tick 0).

Whenever they are not saved in the SMF, Program Change, Control Change 00, 11 and 32, can be still programmed in Style Record mode, using the edit features available.

Warning: Pa2X/Pa800 can only handle SMF format 0 (Zero). If you are in trouble importing your file, maybe your sequencer (or DAW) is exporting using a different format. Please refer to the software's user's manual.

The naming structure for the Markers inside the SMF is "EnCVn", whose single components are shown in the following table:

Component
Meaning

E
Style Element (v = variation, i = intro, f = fill, e = ending)

n
Style Element number (1~4 for variations, 1~2 for all other style elements)

CV
Chord Variation (cv = chord variation - no other choices allowed)

n
Chord Variation number (1~6 for Variations, 1~2 for all others)


Warning: It is mandatory not to use capital letters in Marker names.

Some examples of valid names:

i1cv2 = Intro1 - Chord Variation 2,

v4cv3 = Variation 4 - Chord Variation 3.

Examples of non accepted names:

V1cv2, v1CV2, intro i1cv2, v1cv1 chorus.

The order of the Chord Variations inside the SMF is not relevant. They can be freely placed inside the SMF.

Below you can find a screenshot of a test file created in Steinberg Cubase, just as an example of how a SMF separated Markers can look like. Considering analogies between actual workstations, it will not look much different in other applications like Logic, Digital Performer, Pro Tools or Sonar.




Exporting a Style as an SMF separated Markers
Exporting an SMF separated Markers is very similar to exporting a single Chord Variations as an SMF. This procedure is described in the User's Manual. However, in this case you can export all Chord Variations in a single pass.

This operation creates, in the selected device, an SMF format 0 (Zero), containing all the MIDI data included in the selected Style, with each Chord Variation starting from a different Marker (named as per the naming convention explained in the Import section above).

Each Chord Variation will include, at the very beginning (tick 0), the following informations:

· Time signature

· Control Change bundle #00-32 (Bank Select MSB/LSB)

· Program Change

· Control Change #11 (Expression)
