If you wish to save the modified program name, you must perform the “Writing programs” operation. If you turn off the power
or select a different program without writing the program, the
program name you edited will revert to its previous setting.
Writing programs
Here’s how to write an edited program.
1. Press the WRITE switch, and the Multi-display will indicate
“✳WRITE✳.” The number LED will blink.
2. Use the UP and DOWN switches to select the destination for
your program.
3. Press the WRITE switch once again, and the display will read
“COMPL T” to indicate that the program has been written. You
will then return to Program mode.
If you decide not to write, press the EXIT switch to cancel the
Write operation.
If you write an edited program to a different program number,
the program that was overwritten will be lost.
If you find the expression pedal difficult to use, perform this procedure so that the pedal will function optimally. For example if
the effect does not reach maximum when the pedal is advanced
all the way, or does not reach minimum when the pedal is returned all the way, use the following procedure to make the appropriate adjustments.
When making adjustments, use your hand to move the pedal.
Accurate calibration may not be possible if you use your foot to
operate the pedal.
1. Turn on the power while simultaneously holding down the
EXIT switch and the PEDAL switch. The Multi-display will
show “PEDAL” for approximately one second, and will then
indicate “MIN.”
2. Slowly return the pedal to the full back position. When it stops,
release your hand and press the WRITE switch. The Multidisplay will change from “MIN” to “MAX.”
If you decide to halt the adjustment procedure, press the EXIT
switch. The power-on display will appear, and you will enter
Program mode.
3. Slowly advance the pedal. When it stops, release your hand
and press the WRITE switch.
2. press slowly
The Multi-display will indicate “COMPLT” for approximately
one second. Then the power-on display will appear , and you will
enter Program mode.
After the adjustment procedure has been completed, verify the
operation of the pedal.
Select an effect that will make it easy to verify the adjustment.
For example, set the Pedal effect to the VOLUME effect, set the
value to 0, and check the MIN level when the pedal is returned
all the way.
If you make a mistake during the calibration procedure, the Multidisplay will indicate “

CHORUS (Chorus)
This chorus effect creates a sense of modulation, spaciousness,
and vibrato by slightly delaying the sound, modulating its pitch,
and combining it with the original sound. This is most effective
when used in stereo.
FLANGER (Flanger)
This is a vintage flanger that produces modulation and a sense
of pitch movement.
PHASER (Phaser)
This effect cyclically modifies the phase shift of the sound, and
mixes the phase-shifted sound with the original sound to produce modulation.

MIN3DWN (3rd down in a minor key)
4TH (4th up in a major key)
5TH (5th up in a major key)
MAJ6TH (6th up in a major key)
The Intelligent Pitch Shifter creates musically useful harmonies
by varying the amount of pitch shift according to the note you
play and the key in which you are playing. For example if you
select a pitch shift of a 3rd upward in a major key (MAJ3UP), the
amount of pitch shift will vary automatically between three
semitones (a minor third) and four semitones (a major third).
• When MAJ3UP is used with a key setting of C
The pitch created by the intelligent pitch shifter is shown in parentheses ( ).
If your instrument is not tuned correctly, the results may not be
as you expect. In this case, re-tune your instrument.
The intelligent pitch shifter will function when you play individual notes. It cannot produce the effect for chords.
This effect cannot be used simultaneously with a Pedal effect (except for VOLUME) or with the ROOM1—ARENA Ambience
effects. If you use the Intelligent Pitch Shifter in a program in
which the Pedal effect or a ROOM1—ARENA Ambience effect
is turned on, the pedal or ROOM1—ARENA Ambience effect
will be turned off automatically.
SLOWATK (Slow Attack)
This effect gradually raises the volume each time you pick your
guitar. Value knob 2 controls the speed of the attack, and value
knob 3 controls the threshold level. As you raise the threshold
level, you will need to pick more harder to produce the slow
attack effect.

original sound and effect sound will be mixed equally, and at
"10" only the effect sound will be heard.
Feed Back
In this effect, the pedal controls the vibrato that is applied to the
feedback sound.
While sustaining a note on your guitar, advance the pedal to produce a feedback sound. The feedback sound will disappear when
you return the pedal. Value knob 3 adjusts the speed of the vibrato.
There will be no feedback effect if OFF, ACOUSTIC, or CLASSIC COMP is selected for the Drive Amp effect.
F BACK1 (Feed Back1)
A feedback sound will be generated to the pitch of your playing.

SAMPLE1 (Sample1)
The recorded phrase will playback when you press the pedal.
SAMPLE2 (Sample2)
The recorded phrase will playback when you press the pedal,
and will playback in reverse when you return the pedal.
Procedure for Sample 1 and 2
1. Select SAMPLE 1 or SAMPLE 2 for the Pedal effect, or choose
a program that uses these effects.
2. Use value knob 3 to select the recording time (S is three seconds of high-quality recording, L is six seconds of extended
recording).
3. Advance the expression pedal all the way until the pedal indicator blinks, to enter record-ready mode.
4. Begin playing a phrase. Recording will begin automatically
when you start playing your guitar, and the pedal indicator
will change from blinking to lit.
5. Recording will end when the recording time has elapsed. It
is not possible to stop recording before this time. If you wish
to re-do the recording, repeat the procedure fr om "3. Advance
the expression pedal... ."
6. Operate the expression pedal.
LOOP1 (Loop1)
As soon as you record a phrase, it will be played back as a loop
(repeatedly). When you return the pedal (to minimum volume),
the phrase will return to the beginning. When you advance the
pedal, loop (repeated) playback will occur again. Use the pedal
to adjust the playback volume.
LOOP2 (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.
Procedure for Loop 1 and 2
1. Select LOOP 1 or LOOP 2 for the Pedal effect, or choose a
program that uses these effects.
2. Use value knob 3 to select the maximum recording time. (S
is 3 seconds of high quality, L is 6 seconds of extended recording.)
3. Advance the expression pedal all the way until the pedal indicator blinks, to enter record-ready mode.
4. Begin playing a phrase. Recording will begin automatically
when you start playing your guitar, and the pedal indicator
will change from blinking to lit.
5. Recording will end when you record up to the maximum time,
or when you once again advance the pedal all the way. When
recording ends, the pedal indicator will go dark, and the recorded sound will be played back as a loop. If you wish to redo the recording, repeat from step "3. Advance the expr ession
pedal ..."

Qu’est-ce que la technologie ?
Le système (de l’anglais Resonant Structure and Electronic circuit
Modeling System) constitue une technique de modelage du son déposée
par Korg qui reproduit avec précision le caractère complexe et la nature
tant des instruments acoustiques qu’électriques ainsi que des circuits électroniques dans des environnements réels. Le émule une vaste
gamme des caractéristiques de génération des sons y compris des corps
d’instruments, des haut-parleurs et des enceintes des champs acoustiques, des microphones, des tubes à vide, des transistors, etc.

Panneaux avant et arrière
Panneau avant
1 Bouton Type
Cette bouton sert à choisir le type d’effet Drive Amp.
2 Boutons de valeur 1—5
Pour chaque effet, ces boutons servent à régler la valeur des
paramètres qui leur sont assignés. Par facilité, chacune de ces
boutons est désignée par un numéro dans ce mode d’emploi (a
savoir les boutons 1—5 de gauche à droite).
Quand le mode d’édition d’effet est désactivé, ces boutons servent à régler les paramètres de l’effet Drive Amp utilisé par le
programme choisi. (Voyez “Fonction d’édition rapide pour l’effet Drive Amp” p. 25.)
3 Select switches
Chaque fois que vous appuyez sur le commutateur DRIVE·AMP,
l’effet Drive Amp alterne entre les réglages des canaux A et B et
le mode d’édition est activé. Si le canal A est sélectionné, la diode
de le commutateur DRIVE·AMB clignote en vert, tandis que si
le canal B est choisi, cette diode clignote en rouge.
Chaque fois que vous appuyez sur les commutateursMOD,
PEDAL, AMB et CABI, vous choisissez tour à tour le statut
activé/coupé/d’édition de l’effet correspondant. En mode
d’édition, la diode de le commutateur correspondante clignote;
quand l’effet est activé, cette diode est allumée et lorsqu’il est
désactivé, la diode est éteinte.
Chaque fois que vous appuyez sur le commutateur NR LEV,
vous passez du mode d’édition au mode activé. La diode de
cette touche s’allume quand l’effet est activé et clignote en mode
d’édition.
Les commutateurs RHYTHM et PHRASE TRAINER servent
à activer/couper en alternance la fonction correspondante.
Selon que la fonction est activée ou coupée, la diode de le commutateur correspondante est allumée ou éteinte.
4 Témoin PEDAL INDICATOR
Ce témoin à 7 diodes indique le statut de la pédale d’expression (son degré d’enfoncement). Pour la fonction accordeur,
les diodes indiquent la différence d’accord par rapport à la note
voulue. En mode Phrase Trainer, elles indiquent la durée d’enregistrement/de reproduction.
5 Touche PROG/FX SELECT
Permet de choisir en alternance le mode Program (PROG) et le
mode Effect Select (FX SELECT).
6 Ecran multi-fonction
Affiche des informations comme le nom des programmes, le
nom et la valeur des paramètres ainsi que des icônes d’édition.
7 Affichage numérique
Indique la banque de programme et le numéro de programme.
Quand la fonction accordeur est activée, il affiche le nom des
notes.

8 Touches WRITE, EXIT, TAP
Le commutateur WRITE sert à mémoriser un programme édité.
Le commutateur EXIT permet de retourner à tout moment au
mode Program. Pour l’effet Delay, vous pouvez définir le temps
de retard en appuyant sur le commutateur TAP au tempo du
morceau.
9 Commutateurs DOWN, UP
Utilisez ces commutateurs pour choisir les programmes, pour
contourner (Bypass) les effets, étouffer (Mute) le son et pour
changer de canal Drive Amp.
0 Pédale d’expression
La pédale d’expression sert à contrôler l’effet qui lui est assigné (c.-à-d. l’effet Pedal). Pour activer/couper l’effet Pedal,
enfoncez la pédale d’expression jusqu’en bout de course et
appuyez fermement dessus.
Panneau arrière
1 Borne d’entrée INPUT
Si l'appareil fonctionne sur piles, cette borne sert d'interrupteur d'alimentation. Le raccordement d'un câble à celle-ci met
l'appareil sous tension.
Avant de mettre l'appareil sous ou hors tension, toujours diminuer au minimum le volume de tout équipement qui pourrait y être raccordé.
2 Commutateur du niveau d'entrée
Régler cet interrupteur en fonction du niveau de sortie de votre instrument.
3 Borne d’entrée auxiliaire AUX IN
(pour mini-fiche stéréo)
Sert à raccorder la sortie (AUX OUT: analogique) de votre appareil audio.
4 DC9V
Sert à raccorder l'adaptateur secteur vendu séparément (DC9V
). Dans ce cas, l'appareil se met automatiquement sous
tension.
5 Crochet pour câble
Si vous raccordez l'adaptateur secteur vendu séparément, accrocher le câble de l'adaptateur
autour de ce crochet comme indiqué ci-dessous.
Lors du retrait du câble du crochet, veiller à ne
pas appliquer une tension excessive au câble.
6 Bouton MASTER VOL. (volume général)
Règle le volume de sortie à la prise OUTPUT.
7 Prise OUTPUT
Il s’agit de la prise de sortie; elle fait aussi office de prise casque.
8 Guide de câble
Sert à éviter que le câble reliant l’AX100G
à la guitare ne gêne l’action de la pédale.
Passez le câble dans ce guide comme illustré ci-dessous.
Si vous utilisez le guide de câble, veillez
à ce que le diamètre du câble ne dépasse
pas 8mm.
L’AX100G vous propose trois modes: Program, Effect Select et
Phrase Trainer.
Mode Program
Ce mode sert à choisir les programmes. C’est le mode que vous
choisirez habituellement pour jouer.
Choisissez les programmes avec les commutateurs UP, DOWN.
L’AX100G active ce mode à chaque mise sous tension. A la sortie
d’usine, les programmes User (utilisateur) sont identiques aux
programmes Preset (d’usine).
Mode Effect Select
Dans ce mode, les commutateurs UP et DOWN permettent de
changer de canal Drive Amp*1 et d’activer/couper l’effet Modulation ou Ambience.
Ce mode ne permet pas de choisir de programme. Pour changer
de programme, activez le mode Program.
*1 L’AX100G vous propose deux canaux saturés (A et B) pour l’effet Drive
Amp, ce qui permet de passer d’un son rythmique à un son lead sans
changer de programme.
Mode Phrase Trainer
Ce mode permet d’enregistrer un extrait d’une source CD ou
MD connectée à la prise AUX IN et de le reproduire en boucle en
vue d’une séance d’entraînement.
Cette magnifique fonction permet même de diminuer la vitesse
sans modifier la hauteur de la phrase. Phrase Trainer vous sera
donc très utile pour assimiler les solos plus rapides.
Dès que vous activez le mode Phrase Trainer, les effets Modulation, Pedal et Ambience sont automatiquement désactivés.
En modes Program et Effect Select, les boutons 1—5 permettent
d’éditer l’effet, de régler le Noise Gate, le niveau du programme et
de changer le nom du programme.
2. Jeu de l’AX100G
Exemples de raccordements
Toujours mettre l’appareil hors tension avant d’effectuer les raccordements sinon des manœuvres involontaires risqueraient d’endommager votre système d’enceintes acoustiques ou de provoquer des mauvais fonctionnements. Les câbles de raccordement
sont vendus séparément.
1. Appuyer légèrement sur la flèche A du logement des piles
puis glisser le couvercle vers le haut, dans le sens de la flèche,
pour ouvrir le logement.
2. Insérer quatre piles alcalines de format AA (vendues séparément) comme indiqué sur le diagramme. Toujours veiller à
bien respecter la polarité (+ et -) des piles.
3. Refermer le couvercle du logement des piles.
If you will not be using the unit for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking.
Quand la tension des piles est trop basse, le message “
clignote à l’écran multi-fonction. Dès que vous remarquez ce
message, installez des piles neuves sans tarder.
BATTER Y
*1: La borne OUTPUT est une borne de sortie stéréo. Si vous utilisez un
câble té lé phonique mono pour raccorder l'AX100G à un ampli pour
guitare, seul le son L (gauche) sera émis.
*2: Si l'appareil doit fonctionner sur piles, l'adaptateur secteur n'est pas
nécessaire. Néanmoins, en cas d'utilisation d'un adaptateur, toujours
employer uniquement le modèle spécifié (DC9V ).
Mettre l’appareil sous tension
Le AX100G n’est pas muni d’un interrupteur d’alimentation. 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 câble téléphonique mono est introduite dans la borne INPUT.Pour préserver la durée de vie des
piles, débrancher le câble de la borne d’entrée INPUT dès que
”
vous cessez d’utiliser le AX100G.
Si vous raccordez la fiche d’un câble téléphonique stéréo, l’appareil ne se mettra pas sous tension.
◆
Si vous utilisez l’adaptateur secteur vendu séparément, l’appareil se met automatiquement sous tension dès que vous raccordez l’adaptateur secteur à une prise de courant.
Mettre les autres équipements hors tension avant de mettre le
AX100G hors tension.
