N5 RESET PROCEDURE

-"GLOBAL",THEN HIT "EDIT" AND "YES".

An astounding number of sound programs and versatile functions
in a very affordable package

The tone generator of the N5 uses the same AI2 synthesis system as KORG's professional synthesizers. It features 12 Mbytes of PCM ROM containing an incredible selection of 528 multi samples and 286 drum samples. You've got everything at your fingertips, from basic necessities like piano, organ and strings, to a wide range of unique synth sounds and sound effects. To put the finishing touches on your sound, the N5 also provides two completely independent stereo multi effect units, with 48 types of effect, such as resonance filter, chorus, delay and rotary speaker. Polyphony is a generous 64 notes (in Single mode).

The N5 can function as a 32 channel multi-timbral tone generator.

The internal preset area contains 1,169 sound programs which include a full GM sounds set. For even richer sounds, up to eight sound programs can be brought together as a "Combination," and 302 different preset combinations are provided. The user area lets you store 100 sound programs and 100 combinations, putting a mammoth total of 1,269 programs and 402 combinations at your fingertips.

The N5's versatile Performance mode gives you all the sounds and functionality you need. The front panel provides four knobs for dynamic, analog-style control in realtime VDFA Attack / Release Times, VDF Cutoff, and Effect Dynamic Modulation. You can also choose from twelve other parameters for assignment to these knobs, letting you control a total of sixteen different parameters. The N5 also includes aftertouch and a modulation wheel. There are dedicated front panel switches for portamento and to layer or split programs and combinations. You also get an arpeggiator with 20 preset patterns. These settings can be stored in internal memory as one of 32 "performances," so that sound settings can be recalled instantly while you play. Furthermore, the N5 can control start/stop of the external sequencer by the EXT SEQ switch.

The N5's arpeggiator can be synchronized with an external sequencer using MIDI Clock. Since you can choose the area of the keyboard (Lower, Upper, All) which will play arpeggios, you can do things like play an arpeggio in the Lower part of the keyboard while you play the melody or chords in the Upper part. The N5 features a 144 x 40 pixel full-graphic backlit LCD with a that can be switched between amber or green. LFO waveforms, bar graphs, pan, level, keyboard diagrams and more are displayed visually. This allows exceptionally easy sound editing. Plus, in the Performance mode sixteen types of icons provide instant visual confirmation of the functions of the N5's rich array of controller knobs. The N5 provides GM, GS and XG-compatible sound maps, allowing it to play back all types of commercially available MIDI file data. The PC interface connector lets you conveniently connect your computer with just a single cable (the separately sold AG-001B/002B is required). This is a great convenience for song production using sequencer software or any other computer music applications.
