Korg KONTROL49 owner manual Pedal-related settings, Main encoder settings

If no MIDI message is assigned (NoAssign), the main display will not change even if you operate the pedal (the display will continue to show the scene name).

Pedal-related settings

•You can assign a MIDI message to the pedal. For details, see “Setting mode–[10] PEDAL (Pedal assignment)” (☞p.35).

•You can specify the USB-MIDI port from which the assigned MIDI message is transmitted. For details, see “Setting mode–[15]USB-MIDI PORT (USB-MIDI Port setting)” (☞p.44).

•Specify the polarity of the connected pedal switch, and the effective range of the pedal. For details, see “Setting mode–[16] GLOBAL (Global setting)” (☞p.46).

7. Main encoder

You can use the main encoder to adjust the tempo of the MIDI Clock or to transmit program changes.

If a connected device or application is synchronized to MIDI Clock messages from the KONTROL49, you can use the main encoder to control the tempo. The tempo range is Clock Off and 020–300. If you set the encoder to Clock Off, MIDI Clock will not be transmitted. MIDI Clock messages are transmitted from the port you specify for MIDI message transmission in Message mode (☞p.44 “[15] USB-MIDI PORT (USB-MIDI Port setting)”). If the main encoder is assigned to transmit program changes, any value in the range of 1–128 can be transmitted. You can also specify that the program change be transmitted together with a Bank Select message.

Depending on the assignment of the main encoder, the [SETTING] key, [MESSAGE] key, and [EXIT] key will operate as follows:

MIDI	[SETTING] key	[MESSAGE] key	[EXIT] key
message
NoAssign	No change
TempoChg	Edit the decimal place	Switch the tempo when	Always display the
		released	Tempo
ProgChg	No change	Transmit Prog# when	Always display the
		released	Prog#
PChg&BS	Edit MSB/LSB	Transmit Prog#&BS	Always display the
		when released	Prog#

Operation–Play mode

For details, see “Setting mode–[13] MAIN ENC (Main Encoder assignment)” (☞p.40).

The MIDI Clock tempo defaults to 120 when you turn the power on.

If TempoChg is assigned, you can hold down the [SETTING] key and turn the main encoder to adjust the first decimal place of the tempo. At this time the range of adjustment will be 20.0–300.0.

If Program Change & Bank Select is assigned, you can hold down the [SETTING] key and turn the main encoder to edit the Bank Select MSB or LSB.

Display

When tempo change is assigned to the main encoder, the tempo of the MIDI Clock will appear in the main display when you turn the main encoder. The TEMPO LED at the upper left of the main encoder will blink at quarter-note intervals of the specified MIDI Clock tempo.

When either program change or program change & bank select is assigned to the main encoder, the program change number will appear in the main display when you turn the main encoder.

Main encoder settings

•Assign a MIDI message to the main encoder. For details, see “Setting mode–[13] MAIN ENC (Main Encoder assignment)” (☞p.40).

•Specify the USB-MIDI port on which MIDI messages will be transmitted. For details, see “Setting mode–[15]USB-MIDI PORT (USB-MIDI Port setting)” (☞p.44).

By using Message mode [8] Tap, you can set the desired tempo by tapping pad [8] at the corresponding interval. For details, see “Message mode–[8] TAP (Tap tempo message)” (☞p.51).
