Custom Style Volume Much Too Loud

Post by MyKorgPa5x »

I have a custom style that played in conjunction with the "Upper 1", Upper 2" and "Upper 3" melody sounds (even at the max volume) are too low compared to that of the "custom" style - making it challenging to hear the melody.

I understood from the style creator that it was purposely set of "6db" higher in volume.

Note: the factory styles and "other custom styles" are just fine.

When I play a factory or any other custom style and adjust the volume to my liking. Then for my next song, I select this particular style and press START. Suddenly, the volume is so loud it blows my ears out. I constantly need to remember to first lower the volume before starting this style. But the main issue still exists that the upper melody sounds are hard to hear through the high style volume.

I tried lowering the "Style Volume" in the Preferences but to no avail.

(I am trying to be respectful and not bother the style creator who was already super generous with his time)

Where can I find this volume adjustment in the style edit settings?

The quickest way is to go to the volume mixer on the main page and start lowering the DrumKit, Perc, Acc1-5 and Bass to a suitable level (e.g. start lowering each track by 30) and then Go on the corner menu and press "Save Style".

The other option would be to go into the Edit Style Recording Option and lower the tracks there and saving it.

How can I similarly adjust the volume of a user sound?

Your Sound library is KBD SET not SOUNDs , so you have to equalize upper volumes of SOUND used in keyboard SET linearly of all
non muted SOUND that participate in KBD SET and save them.
If SOUND(s) lever 127 is not enough , then you have either be an advanced user with knowledge in OSCs editor , nor the easy way
use in KBD SET a limiter in insert effects per SOUND with settings Set Thresold at 0db and increase gain to required level.
