Korg music workstation/sampler User Manual

A cue list allows you to play multiple songs in succession. 
For example you can create a separate song for each por-
tion (introduction, melody A, melody B, chorus, and end-
ing) of a composition, and use the cue list to specify the 
order of each portion and the number of times that it will 
be repeated to complete the song. If you want to change 
the structure of the song, the cue list lets you do so in an 
efficient way.
You can also use this as a jukebox function that will play-
back completed songs in the order you specify.

Each unit in a cue list is called a “step,” and each step con-
tains a song number and the number of repeats.
Here we will use a cue list to combine the previously-cre-
ated songs S000: INTRO, S001: VERSE, and S002: CHO-
RUS.

1 Select Sequencer P1: Cue List.

With the default settings, song S000 will be selected for 
“Step” 01, and End will be selected for “Step” 02.

2 Add a song to the Step area.

 A song will be added to step 02. Use the 

VALUE controller to select S001: VERSE.

In the same way, select the Step 03 “Song,” and press 
the Insert button to add a song to Step 03. Set this to 
S002: CHORUS.

If you press Cut button, the selected step will be 
deleted. If you press the Insert button, the deleted step 
will be inserted. 

If you press the Copy button, the selected step will be 
copied. If you press the Insert button, the copied step 
will be inserted.

3 Set the last step to End.

If you set this to Continue to Step01, the cue list will 
play back repeatedly.

4 In “Repeat,” specify the number of times that the 

5 Specify whether effect settings will also be switched 

when the song at each step is played back. If you 
want to effect settings to change, check the “FX” 
check box.
For this example, check the “FX” check box for Step 01, 
which loads the effects.

6 To play back at the tempo that was specified for each 

song, set “Tempo Mode” to Auto.
If this is set to Manu (Manual), playback will use the 
tempo specified by “

 =”.

7 When you press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] 

• “Step”: The arrow will indicate the currently playing 

step.   indicates the currently selected “Step.” If you 
set “Current Step” while stopped, the display will 
change.

• “M****”: Indicates the starting measure of that step.
• “Meter”: Indicates the currently-playing time signa-

ture. This cannot be changed.

• The name of a cue list can be specified by the “Rename 

Cue List” page menu command.

• When you play the keyboard, the program of the track 

selected by “Track Select” will sound. If a different 
program is selected for each song, the program speci-
fied for the currently playing song will sound.

● What to do when playing back a cue list and the 

If the effect settings differ between songs, and depending 
on the playback data within the song, there may be cases 
in which there is a time lag between songs during play-
back. Also, the playback data at the transition between 
songs may not play at the correct timing. In such cases, 
use “Convert to Song” to convert the cue list into a single 
song. When you play back this song, there will be no time 
lag at the transition, and the data will play at the correct 
timing.

If the effect settings differ between songs, and you want to 
smooth the transition between songs, check “FX” for Step 
01. This way, the effect settings will be made before play-
back begins, and there will be no time lag when cue list
