Play mode
■ Play mode
1. Let's play the AX1G
●Turn on the power
The AX1G does not have a power switch. The power
will be turned on when one of the following occurs.
• If you are using batteries, the power will be
turned on when you connect a mono phone
plug cable to the INPUT jack.
If you connect a stereo phone plug cable, the
power will not be turned on.
When the power is turned on, the AX1G will au-
tomatically be in Play mode.
The program selected at power-on will be the
program which had been selected when the
power was last turned off.
To maximize the battery life, disconnect the cable
from the INPUT jack when you are not using the
AX1G.
• If you are using the separately sold AC
adapter, the power will be turned on when you
connect the AC adapter to an AC outlet.
Before you turn off the power of the AX1G, turn
off the power of the other connected equipment.
●Adjusting the master level (overall volume)
The master level adjusts the final output volume of the
AX1G. The master level setting is displayed in Play
mode in the lower right of the LCD.
• Use the VALUE [+] or [-] keys to adjust the
master level. If you continue holding a key,
the value will change rapidly.
Normally you will leave the master level at 30
(maximum). The output of the AX1G will be opti-
mal when the master level is set at 30. If the out-
put sound is distorted when the master level is
30 and you play with the AX1G bypassed, re-
duce the master level so that the sound does
not distort.
●Select a program and play
Here's how to select a user program.
1 Press the BANK SELECT key to switch the
bank between green, orange, and red.
The bank will change each time you press
the key, and the BANK/TUNER LEDs will

ume.
LOOP2: The pedal will control the length of the
loop. The loop will become shorter as you
return the pedal, and at the minimum
length the loop will not playback at all.
The recorded sound will be cleared (erased)
when the program is changed, when the AX1G
is bypassed or muted, when the effect type is
changed or when the power is turned off.
For SAMPL1/2, the recording time is 0.9 seconds for
hi-fi sound or 1.8 seconds for lo-fi sound. For LOOP1/
2, the recording time is 0.26–1.8 seconds (in approxi-
mately 0.05 second steps). (☞ p.50, “Effect param-
eters”)
The effect type and recording time can be modified in
Edit mode. For details refer to p.15, “PEDAL (Expres-
sion Pedal)”.
●Calibrating (adjusting) the expression pedal
The operating range of the expression pedal can be
adjusted. If you find that the sensitivity of the expres-
sion pedal is not to your liking, you can perform this
adjustment so that the pedal operates ideally. You
should perform the adjustment described below if fully
advancing the pedal does not produce the maximum
effect, or conversely, if it is not possible to turn off the
effect fully.
When calibrating the pedal, use your hand to
operate the pedal. Accurate adjustment may
not be possible if you use your foot to operate
the pedal.
1 While simultaneously holding down the PAGE
[√] key and VALUE [-] key, turn on the power.
The LCD will indicate “PEDAL” for approximately
one second, and then indicate “MIN”.
2 Slowly move the pedal back. When it stops,
take your hand off the pedal and press the
VALUE [+] key.
The LCD will change from “MIN” to “MAX”.
If you press the VALUE [-] key during the cali-
bration operation, calibration will be halted. The
power-on display will appear, and you will be in
Play mode.
2
press slowly
3 Slowly move the pedal forward. When it stops,
take your hand off the pedal and press the
VALUE [+] key.
The LCD will display “COMPLT” for approximately
one second. Then the initial power-on screen will
appear, and you will be in Play mode.
3
press slowly
After the calibration has been set, check the op-
eration of the pedal at the MIN and MAX posi-
tions.
Check the operation by selecting an effect type
that has a clearly audible result, such as the ef-
fect type VOLUME, and verify that the MIN level
is produced for a value of 0.
If the calibration operation fails, the LCD will
indicate “ERROR”, and you will return to the
display before calibration (“MIN”). If repeated
attempts are unsuccessful, it is possible that
the AX1G has malfunctioned. Contact a Korg
service center or your dealer.

the ENTER key to turn on the effect.
2. Editing effect parameters
To edit a program, you can select an effect type Drive,
Tone, Modulation, Pedal, or Ambiance, and modify
the value of the parameter assigned to each effect
type.
For the type of effects which can be selected and the
available values of the parameters, refer to the Effect
Parameter table (☞ p.50).
●DRIVE
This provides effects which process the tonal char-
acter, such as compressor, overdrive, and distortion.
❍ENTER key: Turn the effect on/off (the type name
is displayed when on, and “OFF” when
off)
❍TYPE [√]/[®] keys: Select the effect type

Mode de jeu
■ Mode de jeu
1. Comme nt jouer sur le AX1G
●Mettre l’appareil sous tension
Le AX1G n’est pas muni d’un interrupteur d’ali-
mentation. Il se met automatiquement sous tension
dans chacune des circonstances suivantes:
• Lors du fonctionnement sur piles, l’appareil
se met sous tension dès que la fiche d’un câ-
ble téléphonique mono est introduite dans
la borne INPUT.
Si vous raccordez la fiche d’un câble télé-
phonique stéréo, l’appareil ne se mettra pas
sous tension.
A la mise sous tension, le AX1G se met auto-
matiquement en mode de jeu.
L’écran affiche le nom du programme. Le pro-
gramme sélectionné à la mise sous tension
sera le programme sélectionné en dernier
avant la mise hors tension.
Pour préserver la durée de vie des piles, dé-
brancher le câble de la borne d’entrée INPUT
dès que vous cessez d’utiliser le AX1G.
• Si vous utilisez l’adaptateur secteur vendu
séparément, l’appareil se met automatique-
ment sous tension dès que vous raccordez
l’adaptateur secteur à une prise de courant.
Mettre les autres équipements hors tension
avant de mettre le AX1G hors tension.
●Réglage du niveau principal (niveau
global)
Le niveau principal permet de régler le volume de
sortie final du AX1G. Le réglage de volume princi-
pal s’affiche en mode jeu dans la partie inférieure
droite de l’écran.
• Utiliser les touches VALUE [+] ou [-] pour
régler le volume principal. Maintenir la tou-
che enfoncée pour changer de valeur plus
rapidement.
Normalement, il convient de laisser le niveau
principal sur 30 (maximum).
Le niveau de sortie du AX1G est en effet le
plus performant lorsque le volume principal
est réglé sur 30. Si le son de sortie est déformé
lorsque le niveau principal est mis sur 30 et
que vous jouez en contournant le AX1G, ré-
duire le niveau principal de sorte à suppri-
mer cette distorsion.
●Sélectionner un programme et jouer
Voici comment sélectionner un programme utili-
sateu.
1 Appuyer sur la touche de sélection de ban-
que BANK SELECT pour commuter entre les
banques verte, orange et rouge.
La banque change à chaque pression de la
touche et les voyants BANK/TUNER passent
de "
