Page header
This line shows the current operating mode, transposition and
recognized chord.
Operating mode name
Name of the current operating mode.
Master transpose
Master transpose value in semitones. This value can be changed
by using the TRANSPOSE buttons on the control panel.
Note: Transpose may automatically change when selecting a differ-
ent Performance or Style. It may also change when loading a Stan-
dard MIDI File generated with an instrument of the Korg Pa-
Series.
To avoid transposition, the Master Transpose is “locked” by
default. If you want to unlock it, change the Master Transpose
Lock parameter’s status (see “General Controls: Lock” on
page 149).
Recognized chord
Displays the recognized chord, when you play a chord on the

You can choose how chords are recognized by using the “Chord
Recognition” parameter in the Global > Style page (see
page 152).
