1–1f: Panel Switch Assign

These parameters assign the function of the front panel SW1 and SW2 switches (assignable panel switches 1 and 2).

SW1

AMSource

[JS(X) Lock…Modulation (CC#80)]

SW2

 

[JS(X) Lock…Modulation (CC#81)]

AMSource

 

 

 

The functions which can be assigned to SW1 and SW2 are the same (except for Modulation), and are as follows:

JS(X) Lock, JS(+Y) Lock, JS(–Y) Lock, Ribbon(X) Lock, Ribbon(Z) Lock, After Touch Lock, JS & Ribbon Lock

Each time you press SW1 (or SW2), the selected controller will alternate between Lock/Unlock (a lit LED indicates Lock). When you press SW1 (or SW2) while operating a controller, subsequent movement of that controller will produce no change.

For example if you select JS(+Y) Lock, and then move the joystick away from yourself and press SW1 (or SW2), the joystick (+Y) movement will be locked (held) at that position, and modulation will continue to be applied even after the joystick is allowed to return. By then moving the joystick in the (–Y) direction, you can apply both types of modulation simultaneously.

MIDI If this is locked, the corresponding controller will also stop transmitting MIDI, but reception will still occur.

Octave Down

Each time you press SW1 (or SW2), the original octave setting will alternate with a setting of one octave lower.

Octave Up

Each time you press SW1 (or SW2), the original octave setting will alternate with a setting of one octave higher.

Portamento Off

Each time you press SW1 (or SW2), the portamento effect will alternate between On and Off (lit LED indicates Off). This is valid only for bank M programs.

MIDI CC#65 will be transmitted each time On/Off occurs (a value of 0 for Off, 127 for On).

Modulation

Select this when you wish to use the switch as a AMS or Effect Dynamic Modulation source. In this case, you must first specify the control destination.

MIDI SW1 and SW2 differ for this function alone. For each On/Off, SW1 will transmit CC#80, and SW2 will transmit CC#81 (a value of 0 for Off, 127 for On).

Synthesizer specifications

Korg synthesizers have established themselves as a powerhouse in the music production landscape, combining cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to cater to musicians, producers, and sound designers alike. These iconic instruments have continuously evolved since the company’s inception in 1963, embodying innovation and quality.

One of the defining features of Korg synthesizers is their diverse range of models which cater to different musical styles and needs. From the grand M1 synthesizer that popularized MIDI in the late 1980s to the more recent Minilogue and Prologue, each model presents unique capabilities. The Minilogue offers a straightforward interface and powerful four-voice polyphony, ideal for both novices and seasoned musicians. In contrast, the Prologue, with its advanced circuitry and multi-engine technology, provides extensive sound design possibilities.

Korg synthesizers are known for their rich sound engines. Many models utilize the proprietary EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) technology, which delivers detailed and dynamic sounds. Users can expect a broad sonic palette, facilitating everything from lush pads to biting leads. The multi-engine architecture found in the Prologue adds another layer of versatility, allowing for the integration of wavetable and FM synthesis alongside traditional analog sounds.

Another key characteristic of Korg synthesizers is their connectivity options. Most models are equipped with MIDI, USB, and audio outputs, making them easy to integrate into any studio setup or live performance rig. The ability to control virtual instruments and external devices through MIDI enhances the functionality of Korg synthesizers, enabling seamless integration into modern production environments.

Korg emphasizes portability with many of its synthesizers. The compact design of products like the Volca series allows musicians to create music on the go, making them ideal for traveling artists. Each Volca unit houses powerful synthesis technology within a small footprint, ensuring that users don’t sacrifice quality for convenience.

Korg also recognizes the importance of community and education in music production. The company frequently updates its synthesizers with new patches, features, and sound libraries, empowering users to keep their sounds fresh and relevant. Additionally, Korg offers various online resources, tutorials, and forums to support their users in exploring the full potential of their synthesizers.

Overall, Korg synthesizers encapsulate a balance of tradition and innovation. With their rich sound engines, user-friendly interfaces, and extensive connectivity options, they remain a favorite among musicians and producers seeking to push the boundaries of their sound.
