Quarter note

Eighth note

Sixteenth note

Thirty-second note

Sixty-fourth note

TIP: The maximum length of the phrase will depend onthe BPM youve speci ed. The maximum length willbe sixteen beats if the BPM is 108.5 or higher, eightbeats if the BPM is lower than 108.5, four beats if theBPM is lower than 54.3, or two beats if the BPM islower than 27.2.

TIP: The phrase length that you specify will revert tothe default setting when you turn off the power.

TIP: If a LOOP RECORDER BANK button blinks or-ange or green when you hold down the SHIFT buttonand press that LOOP RECORDER BANK button, thismeans that this bank has not yet nished processingafter recording, and therefore the phrase length can-not be changed. Wait for the blinking LOOP RE-CORDER BANK button to change to steadily lit, andthen change the phrase.

Playing a recorded phrasePress the LOOP RECORDER BANK buttonthat you want to play; it will begin playing. Tostop playback, press that LOOP RECORDER

BANK button once again.TIP: If you start playback from a state where all banksare stopped, the phrase will start playing from its be-ginning. If even one bank is already playing, the newlytriggered bank will start playing from the same positionas the bank thats currently playing ensuring that all

banks always play in synchronization.

Touch the touch pad to adjust the playbackvolume of each LOOP RECORDER BANK.3. Press the SHIFT button to return to the pro-

gram indication.Changing the length of a phraseYou can shorten the length of a recordedphrase to loop it, or extend the length of a shortphrase.Change the length of a loop recorder bankthats already been recorded, as described inSpecifying the length of the phrase to berecorded(p.12).

If you shorten the playback length, the phrasewill play as a loop of the speci ed length.If you increase the playback length, the phraseof the speci ed length will play repeatedly overthe speci ed length. Heres an example of howyou can use this. Specify L4 (one measure)and record a rhythm phrase. Then set thelength of that phrase to L16 (four measures),and record a melody phrase.TIP: If youve shortened the playback length, you are

still free to change it back to the original length. How-ever if you record or erase on the phrase in its short-ened state, the data will be recorded as a phrase ofthe shortened length, meaning that the original phrasedata will be lost, and you wont be able to change itback to its original length.

BPM setting during loop recordingThe BPM value will be used for the followingparameters during loop recording: Phrase playback speed

Phrase recording timeIf you change the BPM value, the change willaffect the playback speed while recording aphrase and will be recorded.

The maximum length of a phrase depends onthe BPM you speci ed. Therefore, changingthe BPM value during loop recording couldcause an overdubbed phrase to be truncated,or a silent part to be appended to the end of a

phrase. Also, changing the BPM value in the followingsituations will affect the phrase recording: You changed the BPM value and recorded BE-

FORE the top of the phrase was located. After recording, but BEFORE the top of the

phrase was located, you changed the BPMvalue.

During phrase playback, the KAOSSILATORPRO+ manages the BPM based on a playbackcycle (time duration from the beginning of theplayback until the top of the phrase is again lo-cated).If you do not want your recording loop to be af-fected by unexpected changes in playbackspeed or phrase recording time due to changesin the BPM value, be sure to wait for playbackto return to the top of the phrase, then start re-cording. Also, after recordings, do not change

the BPM value until the top of the phrase hasbeen located.

SYNC: Speci es whether the loop recorder willsynchronize to BPM.If this is on, the recorder will synchronize toBPM, but the sound may be interrupted at thebeginning of the phrase. If this is off, the record-er will not synchronize to BPM, but there will beno interruption of the sound. However if youchange the length of the phrase or if youchange the BPM, the recorder will automati-cally function as if SYNC were on.TIP: When performing with BPM SYNC off, the TAPTEMPO button will blink green. When performing withBPM SYNC on, the TAP TEMPO button will blinkwhite.

In order to perform with SYNC turned off, you must eitherstart just after turning on the KAOSSILATOR PRO+, or initial-ize all banks, and then match the length of the phrases beforeyou record. Even if SYNC turns on automatically, there hasbeen no change to the SYNC setting, so turning the power offand on again will make the KAOSSILATOR PRO+ function

with this setting off.[7] USBYou can connect the KAOSSILATOR PRO+ toyour computer and read/write the contents ofthe inserted card via USB (p. 19: Accessing the SD card from your computer ).

[8] EXT.CTRLThis lets you use the KAOSSILATOR PRO+ asa MIDI controller.

The MIDI message assigned to each controllerusing the KAOSSILATOR PRO+ Editor will betransmitted (p.22: Using the KAOSSILATOR PRO+ as a MIDI controller ).TIP: You can download the KAOSSILATOR PRO+Editor from the Korg website. (http://www.korg.com)

Using an SD cardYou can use an SD card to save or load internaldata.

Audio les (WAVE format or AIFF format) thatyouve created on your computer can also beloaded.

Never turn off the power or remove the SD card whiledata is being saved or the card is being formatted. Doing somay render the SD card unusable.

TIP The SD card is not included. It must be pur-chased separately.

TIP The KAOSSILATOR PRO+ supports SD cards ofup to 2GB capacity and SDHC cards of up to 32GBcapacity.

TIP The KAOSSILATOR PRO+ can handle up to 256les in total. The unit will not recognize any les that

exceed the 256 le limit.

TIP The KAOSSILATOR PRO+ may take time to rec-ognize or write les on large capacity cards.

About the write protect setting of an SD cardSD cards have a write protect switch that pre-vents the data from being overwritten acciden-tally and lost. If you set the cards switch to theprotected setting, it will be impossible to writeor erase data on the card, or to format it. If youneed to save edited data on the card, move theswitch back to its original unprotected setting.

Appuyez sur le bouton SHIFT pour retourner laf chage du programme.Changer la longueur dune phraseVous pouvez raccourcir une phrase pour la mettreen boucle ou allonger une phrase trop courte.Changez la longueur dune phrase enregistre ensuivant les explications de la section Rglage dela longueur de la phrase enregistrer(p. 33 ).Si vous raccourcissez la dure de reproduction, laphrase est reproduite en boucle selon la durespci e.Si vous augmentez la dure de reproduction, laphrase est reproduite en boucle conformment

la dure spci e. Voici un exemple: Entrez L4(un mesure) et enregistrez une phrase rythmique.Rglez ensuite la longueur de la phrase sur L16(4 mesures) et enregistrez une phrase mlodique. ASTUCE: Si vous avez raccourci la dure de reproduction,vous pouvez toujours retrouver la longueur originale. Parcontre, si vous enregistrez de nouvelles donnes ou effa-cez des donnes de la phrase raccourcie, la phrase mo-di e adopte la longueur en vigueur, ce qui signi e quevous perdez les donnes (et la longueur) originales de laphrase.

Rglage BPM pour lenregistrement en boucleLa valeur BPM dtermine les paramtres sui-vants lors de lenregistrement en boucle: Vitesse de reproduction de la phrase Dure denregistrement de la phrase

Si vous changez la valeur BPM, ce changementmodi e la vitesse de reproduction lors de lenre-gistrement dune phrase et est donc enregistr.La longueur maximum de la phrase dpend dela valeur BPM que vous avez choisie. Si vouschangez la valeur BPM lors dun enregistrementen boucle, la phrase ajoute risque dtre tron-que ou, au contraire, allonge par un silence.De plus, le changement de la valeur BPM dansles cas suivants affecte aussi lenregistrementde phrase: Vous avez chang la valeur BPM et enregistr

AVANT de revenir au dbut de la phrase. Vous avez chang la valeur BPM aprs lenre-

gistrement mais AVANT de revenir au dbut

de la phrase.Durant la reproduction de phrase, le KAOSSILA-TOR PRO+ gre le rglage BPM sur base duncycle de reproduction (dure entre le dbut de lareproduction et le retour au dbut de la phrase).
