Хорошее руководство по эксплуатации
Законодательство обязывает продавца передать покупателю, вместе с товаром, руководство по эксплуатации Korg PA600. Отсутствие инструкции либо неправильная информация, переданная потребителю, составляют основание для рекламации в связи с несоответствием устройства с договором. В законодательстве допускается предоставлении руководства в другой, чем бумажная форме, что, в последнее время, часто используется, предоставляя графическую или электронную форму инструкции Korg PA600 или обучающее видео для пользователей. Условием остается четкая и понятная форма.
Что такое руководство?
Слово происходит от латинского «instructio», тоесть привести в порядок. Следовательно в инструкции Korg PA600 можно найти описание этапов поведения. Цель инструкции заключается в облегчении запуска, использования оборудования либо выполнения определенной деятельности. Инструкция является набором информации о предмете/услуге, подсказкой.

Из чего должно состоять идеальное руководство по эксплуатации?

Почему мы не читаем инструкций?
Как правило из-за нехватки времени и уверенности в отдельных функциональностях приобретенных устройств. К сожалению само подсоединение и запуск Korg PA600 это слишком мало. Инструкция заключает ряд отдельных указаний, касающихся функциональности, принципов безопасности, способов ухода (даже то, какие средства стоит использовать), возможных поломок Korg PA600 и способов решения проблем, возникающих во время использования. И наконец то, в инструкции можно найти адресные данные сайта Korg, в случае отсутствия эффективности предлагаемых решений.

folder.
Locate
Touch this button to go back to the folder containing the selected
Song. This is useful to quickly locate it, after you have browsed
through long directories and “dug” into different folders.
Select
Selects the highlighted item in the display. If a Song is already
playing, it stops, and the new Song is ready to play. You will
return to the main page.
Play All
When you touch this button, all Standard MIDI Files and MP3
files contained in the current directory are added to a new Jukebox list, that is automatically assigned to the Player. The order in
which they are played depends on the current sorting method,
i.e., how the files are shown in the display.
You can use this Jukebox list as any other list of this type (i.e.,
start the playback with PLAY/STOP, jump to the next Song in
the list with SHIFT + >>, edit it in the Jukebox page…).
Note: A Jukebox list can include up to 127 Songs. If your folder
contains more items, only the first 127 will be considered.
Hint: If you don’t want the list to be deleted when turning the
instrument off, go to the Jukebox page and save it as a “.JBX” file.
Selecting a Song by its ID number
Each Song in a folder on a device (up to 9,999) has a progressive
ID number assigned. When the “Show Song Number” option is
selected in the Song Select page menu (see below), you can see
this number before the Song’s name in the Song Select window.
You can use this number to select the Song by composing the
corresponding number, speeding up the Song retrieval when you
are using an hard disk filled with midifiles.
While in the Song Select window, press the SONG button in the
SELECTION section to open the keypad, and enter the number
corresponding to the Song to be selected.
While in any page of the Song Play mode, press the SONG button in the SELECTION section twice to open the keypad.
Note: If no Song corresponds to the dialed number, the “Song not
available” message will appear.
Wa r ni n g : While the directory may contain more than 9999 files,
you can’t select Songs outside the 0001-9999 range when using the
numeric keypad.
Song Select page menu
Touch the page menu icon to open the menu. Touch a command
to select it. Touch anywhere in the display to close the menu
without selecting a command.
Export Song List
Select this command to save the current list as a text file. This
way, you will be able to print a list of Songs, to see which number
matches each Song.
1. While in the Song Select window, select the folder whose
Song list you wish to save as a text file.
2. Select the Export Song List command from the page menu.
3. A dialog box will appear, asking you to select either the
internal storage memory or the HOST USB ports.
4. Select one of the options, and touch OK to confirm.
Note: The text file will contain a list of “*.mid”, “*.kar”, “.mp3”
and “*.jbx” files only. Folders and other types of files will not be
included.
When saved, the text file will be named after the selected folder.
For example, a folder named “Dummy” will generate a
“Dummy.txt” file. If a file with the same name already exists in the
target, it will be overwritten without waiting for any confirmation.
A file containing the list of all valid files contained into the root of
the disk will generate a “Root.txt” file.
The list will include the progressive number assigned to each Song,
the file names, the total number of files in the list.
To correctly display and print the list on a personal computer, use a
fixed size (i.e., non-proportional) character in your text editor.

name.
Create New Folder
This command will let you create a new generic folder in the
root of any device, or inside any other generic folder. You can’t
create a “.SET” folder with this command, since this type of
folder is reserved to the Save operations (and can be created with
the New SET button in any Save page).
Rename

Use this function to change the name of an existing file or folder.
You cannot change the 3-character extension of files and “.SET”

Style Play operating mode
The Style Play mode is the boot-up operating mode. When in
this mode, you can play with Styles (i.e. automatic accompaniments), while playing with one to four tracks (Upper 1-3 and
Lower) on the keyboard. You can choose different Sounds and
Effects by selecting Performances and STSs. Four Pads will provide single-shot sounds or repeating patterns in sync with the
Style. You can also use the SongBook to automatically select
Styles suited for a particular song.
Start-up settings
Since the “My Setting” Performance is automatically selected
when turning the instrument on, you can save to it your preferred start-up settings.
Select the Sounds, Effects, and other settings you would like to
see automatically selected when turning the instrument on.
Then keep the MY SETTING button pressed for about one second. When the Write Startup Settings window appears, confirm
by touching OK.
Note: If you like some settings to be preserved even when choosing
different Performances, STSs and Styles, turn on the desired
“locks” to avoid changes to the selected parameters (see “General
Controls: Lock” on page 141).
Styles and Pads
Each Style includes four Pads. Each time you select a Style, the
four Pads are assigned to the four PAD buttons. The Style and
the Pads will play using the same Tempo value.
Master Volume and Balance
While the MASTER VOLUME knob controls the general volume of the instrument, you can use the BALANCE knob to balance the Style Accompaniment and Pad tracks against the
Keyboard tracks.
Note: As an alternative, the BALANCE knob can also work as a
volume control. See “Balance Slider” on page 146.
How Styles, Variations, Performances and
STSs are linked together
Styles, Variations, Performances and STSs are linked in many
ways.
• When the STS MODE LED is steadily on or blinking, selecting
a Style also changes the Keyboard tracks (STS 1 is automatically
selected). Performance settings are overridden.
• When the STS MODE LED is blinking, selecting a Variation
also select the corresponding STS.
• When the STYLE CHANGE LED is on, selecting a Performance also selects a Style (the one memorized with the Performance).
• Current track settings can be saved either to a Performance, an
STS, or the Style Settings, depending on the page menu command you select.
Factory, Favorite and User Styles
There are three different types of Style locations:
• Factory Style banks are the preloaded Styles, that you can’t
usually edit (unless you don’t want to do so, by turning the
protection off, see “Factory Style and Pad Protect” on
page 145).
• Favorite Style banks are Styles loaded from an external
device, created or edited by yourself. You can rename the
tabs in the Style Select window to create places for custom
banks, or for additional music genres that are not already
included among the supplied banks. See “The Favorite
banks” on page 35 for information on how to manage these
Styles.
• User Style banks are, like the Favorite banks, Styles loaded
from an external device, created or edited by yourself (the
User). These are banks conceived as a ‘workbench’ – a place
where to manage Styles and banks before saving them to a
final location. See the “Style/Pad Record mode” chapter for
information on how to edit or create Styles.

recall a preset custom scale. (Pa600 Quarter Tone: these buttons
correspond to the SC buttons in the QUARTER TONE section of
the control panel.)
1. Program and save a custom scale into an SC Preset.
To do so, go to the Global mode, and reach the “Tuning:
Scale” page. When programming is done, choose the
“Write SC Preset” command from the page menu, then
select one of the preset locations where to save the current
settings (see “Write Quarter Tone SC Preset dialog box” on
page 155).
2. Return to this page, and touch the “Quarter Tone” button to
make the “SC Preset” buttons appear.
3. Touch one of the “SC Preset” buttons to recall a preset cus-
tom scale.
Each preset contains custom detuning of each note of the
scale, and memorizes the selected degree(s) of the scale.
When no preset is selected, the default scale is automatically recalled. This scale assigns a -50 cent value to all
notes, and turns all scale degrees off.
You can also select an SC Preset by assigning the relevant
function to an Assignable Switch (see “Pad/Switch: Switch”
on page 31) or Assignable Footswitch (see “Controllers:
Foot Controllers” on page 146).
4. Use the keyboard diagram to turn the note detuning on or
off.
Make a big dot appear to detune the corresponding note, or
make it disappear to reset tuning.
5. Reset the original scale.
Touch the “Quarter Tone button again, to deselect it and

How to use the Quarter Tone function with a
footswitch or Assignable Switch
Effects: A/B FX Configuration
You can assign the “Quarter Tone” function to a footswitch or an
Assignable Switch, to program a custom scale in realtime, for
example to allow for those sudden scale changes typical of the
Arabic music. These changes are not saved anywhere, so the
scale is easily “wiped-out” when selecting a different Performance or STS, or when pressing the Quarter Tone pedal again.
Note: While in Style Play mode, you can create a custom scale, to
be assigned to a Performance or STS, simply by selecting and editing a User scale, and saving any change to a Performance or STS.
See “How to create a custom scale by fine-tuning each note of the
User scale” above.
While in Global mode, you can create a custom scale and save it to
one of the four SC Presets, and recall it by touching one of the SC
Preset buttons in the display. Then, you can start your realtime
scale editing from the selected preset. See “How to use the Quarter
Tone function with the SC Presets” above.
1. Program the footswitch or an Assignable Switch to be the
Quarter Tone switch.
Simply go to the Global mode, and reach the “Controllers:
Foot Controllers” page. There, you will find the “Pedal/
Footswitch” parameter, to which you can assign the Quarter Tone function.
2. Lower some note pitches.
Keep the Quarter Tone pedal pressed. The keyboard will
not play at this time. Press the notes you want to lower a
quarter tone. Release the pedal.
3. Play with your new scale.
Notes you pressed on step 2 are now lowered of a quarter
tone.
4. Reset the original scale.
Press and release the Quarter Tone pedal again, without
playing any note. All pitches will be reset, and the scale
selected by the Performance or STS will be recalled.
This page allows you to select the A (Style and Pads) and B (Keyboard) groups of effects. Please use the “FX A” and “FX B” side
tabs to switch from one group to the other one.
FX Groups (FX A, FX B)
Pa600 includes two groups of effects (FX A and FX B). There are
two master FXs for group. In Style Play mode, the A group is
reserved to the Style and Pad tracks, the B group to the Realtime
(Keyboard) tracks.
Master FX 1, 2
Effects assigned to the corresponding effect processors. Usually,
FX1 are reverbs, while FX2 are modulating effects (chorus,
flanger, delay…). For a list of the available effects, see in the
Appendix.
Effects assigned to both FX groups can be saved to a Performance. Effect assigned to the FX A group (Style and Pad tracks)
can be saved to the Style Settings. Effects assigned to the FX B
group (Keyboard tracks) can be saved to an STS.

Некоторые из звуков также взяты из OASYS (один из мощнейших из когда-либо выпущенных синтезаторов), что также позволяет Ра600 установить новый стандарт среди аранжировочных клавишных. Свыше 950 звуков, включая обновленный GM-набор и 64 барабанных набора, загружаются сразу. Имеется также прекрасное многослойное акустическое фортепиано, аккуратно засэмплированное с концертного рояля и содержащее струнные и педальные резонансы. Все звуки являются полностью редактируемыми, а измененные варианты могут быть сохранены в пользовательской части памяти.
Одна из самых замечательных особенностей Ра600 – способность включения музыкальных звуков и стилей, специфичных для какого-либо региона конкретной части света. До 96 МБ РСМ дополнительно позволяет аккуратно добавить множество инструментов непосредственно в звуковой движок Ра600 для использования в стилях, созданных специально для конкретной географической области, региона или страны. Все подробности и детали доступных расширений и добавлений представлены на Korg.com.
Эффекты
Для отличного звука необходимо нечто большее, нежели просто качество набора РСМ-волн. В течение многих лет Korg производил выдающиеся, захватывающие дух эффекты студийного качества. Ра600 имеет четыре стереопроцессора мастер-эффектов. Доступно 125 таких эффектов, включая стандартные FX-наборы, например: реверберация, задержка, хорус и ряд общеупотребительных гитарных эффектов REMS, незаменимых для достижения аутентичного гитарного звука.
Каждый трек имеет встроенный эквалайзер с раздельной регулировкой НЧ, СЧ и ВЧ. Уникальные установки эквалайзера запоминаются в общих предпочтениях режима воспроизведения песен Song Play. Это помогает выстраивать звук согласно вашим собственным предпочтениям для любого воспроизводимого MIDI-файла. Нужно облегчить партию баса? Сохраните необходимые настройки эквализации, и бас останется таким же облегченным в каждой следующей композиции.
Лимитер и финальный 4х-полосный EQ теперь могут устанавливаться на общем аудиовыходе Ра600. Все вместе вы можете обрабатывать мощным и музыкально сбалансированным эквалайзером, с легкостью подстраивая звук по вашему вкусу либо внося изменения для компенсации проблемной акустики концертного помещения.
Стили
Pa600 оснащен новым набором замечательных стилей, запрограммированных рядом ведущих аранжировщиков со всего мира, каждый из которых работал с полной отдачей и в соответствии с собственными музыкальными предпочтениями. Результатом стали сотни загружаемых сразу фабричных стилей, обеспечивающих непередаваемые реализм и детализацию. Охватывая самый широкий диапазон музыкальных направлений, Ра600 способен предоставить стили на все случаи жизни. Если вам понадобится особая коллекция стилей, просто создайте свои собственные либо загрузите, отредактируйте и сохраните непосредственно «на борту», внутри Ра600 все то, что вам необходимо.
Для пущей убедительности вашего исполнения в инструменте имеется 4 варианта перехода и сбивок, три варианта интро и три варианта коды. Еще больше гибкости кроется в выборе различных шкал транспонирования аккомпанемента и ладов по вашему собственному вкусу, что позволяет удовлетворить характеру любой инструментовки. Ошеломляющий своей эффективностью режим имитации гитарных партий Guitar Mode 2 открывает совершенно новую перспективу восприятия того, как должны звучать треки гитарного аккомпанемента. Если вам нужны обе руки для исполнения соло-пассажей, просто запишите ваши последовательности аккордов и позвольте Аккордовому Секвенсору Ра600 сыграть их за вас.
Локализованные модели
Модификация Pa600QT поставляется с уже загруженными разнообразными ближневосточными звуками и стилями, включая персидские, арабские и турецкие, которые представлены в виде демо.
Компактный, но мощный
Pa600 – один из самых простых в освоении аранжировочных клавишных инструментов, какие только существуют. Несмотря на компактные размеры Pa600, мощь высококачественной, специально разработанной акустической системы, установленной внутри его корпуса, может быть названа какой угодно, только не слабой. Два 15-ваттных усилителя, нагруженные на пару громкоговорителей в bass reflex-исполнении, гарантирует вам впечатляющие ощущения при прослушивании.
Простой в использовании
Учитывая внутренний потенциал технологичной «начинки», кажется невероятным, что Ра600 настолько прост в освоении и использовании. Впечатления от работы с Ра600 могут быть только положительными – он интуитивен, быстр, понятен, музыкален и способен прощать ошибки. Передняя панель упрощена благодаря нашему графическому пользовательскому интерфейсу на основе замечательно цветного тачскрина, вам надо лишь выбирать и кликать, а остальное RX-технология сделает за вас сама!
Чтобы музыканты любого уровня могли создавать замечательную музыку быстро, теперь есть два режима интерфейса: Простой и Экспертный. В простом режиме отображаются лишь наиболее важные регулировки, при этом интерфейс ясен, понятен и удобен для игры живьем даже для начинающих. В Экспертном режиме вы получаете полный контроль над всеми изменяемыми параметрами, ничто не встанет на пути ваших амбиций при овладении всем диапазоном возможностей профессионального выступления.
Функционал подключаемых напольных переключателей обеспечивает возможность переназначения, поэтому на вашем выступлении они будут делать то, что вы от них ждете и на что запрограммируете. А если вы забудете, где находится тот или иной файл, песня или стиль, воспользуйтесь функцией поиска, позвольте Ра600 найти для вас то, что вам нужно.
Проигрывая любую песню, отобразите ее в виде привычных нот
Плеер Ра600 читает MIDI-, MP3- и KAR-файлы. Он также распознает тексты и аккорды в большинстве файлов и позволяет расставлять метки в MIDI-файлах буквально на лету. Если вы предпочитаете читать музыку с листа – традиционное нотное отображение также имеется.
Показ на экране нот основного либо любого другого трека в виде ясной и понятной нотации – аккордов и конкретных нот, вместе с текстом и аккордовыми обозначениями обеспечивает режим представления Score View. Названия аккордов могут отображаться на двух языках (английском, итальянском) и в нескольких различных системах. Для изучающих музыку мы добавили функцию показа названий извлекаемых нот.
Каталог SongBook
Эта замечательная функция призвана облегчить вам жизнь во время живого выступления. SongBook – музыкальная база данных, полностью программируемая пользователем и содержащая все необходимые настройки для успешного исполнения любой конкретной композиции из имеющихся в памяти инструмента. Достаточно запустить поиск по названию композиции, которую вы хотели бы исполнить, выбрать ее и нажать «play». SongBook способен использовать стили, MIDI-файлы, либо МР3, а также мгновенно вызывать необходимые установки, такие как название песни, музыкальное направление, имя автора, темп, установки громкости, названия используемых звуков, заглушенные партии и треки, FX-настройки, STS*, простые настройки Easy Edit, основная тональность с ее изменением и многое другое. Все необходимое для идеального исполнения песни или композиции хранится в SongBook, уникальной и крайне полезной для музыкантов «фишке» Korg.
*STS — Single Touch Settings – запоминаемые и вызываемые из памяти установки для звуков всех треков, транспонируемых в реальном времени (верхние три 1, 2, 3 и нижний).
