Korg m50-73 User Guide

A cue list allows you to play multiple songs in 
succession. For example you can create a separate song 
for each portion (introduction, melody A, melody B, 
chorus, and ending) 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. 
For details, please see “SEQ P11: Cue List” on page 188 
of the Parameter Guide.

Each unit in a cue list is called a “step,” and each step 
contains a song number and the number of repeats.

For example, suppose you’ve created the songs S000: 
INTRO, S001: VERSE, and S002: CHORUS. Let’s use a 
cue list to connect these songs together.

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

Select the “Song” for Step 02, and press the Insert 
button. 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.

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

For this example, check the “FX” check box for Step 01, 
which loads the effects.

If this is set to Manu (Manual), playback will use the 
tempo specified by “

 =”.

• 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 

signature. This cannot be changed.

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

 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 specified for the currently playing song 
will play.
