Phrase Trainer mode
An audio source from the AUX jack and USB Connector,
a phrase you play on your guitar or bass, or the rhythm
you specified in Rhythm & Bass mode can be recorded,
and played back repeatedly as a loop. This provides a
convenient way to practice by playing along with the
repeating phrase. You can slow down the playback speed
without affecting the pitch, which can help you to learn
difficult phrases. You can save the recorded phrase in the
PX5D's memory.
If your computer is running Windows XP, and you want
to transfer audio data via the USB connector, we recom-
mend that you install the KORG USB-ASIO driver (pro-
vided on the included CD-ROM). For details on how to
install the KORG USB-ASIO driver, refer to "Installing
the software" on the included CD-ROM.
Select the recording mode
In Play mode (except during bypass/mute or key lock),
Rhythm & Bass mode, or Utility mode, press the
PHRASE TRAINER button to enter Phrase Trainer
mode. When you enter this mode, the recording mode
and time select screen will appear, and the Phrase Trainer
icon will blink. In this screen, the PX5D will be ready to
record. Press the EXIT button to return to Play mode.
