Transposing
When you play this instrument together with other
instruments, or along with music on a CD or tape, you
may need to adjust the tuning so that the pitch
matches. To adjust the tuning, use GLOBAL 1.1: Sys-
tem Basic page “Master Tune.” The tuning can be
adjusted in a range of –50 – +50 cents (one semitone is
100 cents).
You can also transpose by changing the pitch in semi-
tone steps. To transpose the pitch of the entire this
instrument, use GLOBAL 1.1: System Basic page “Key
Transpose.” The pitch can be transposed over a range
of ±1 octave.
Here we will explain how to adjust the tuning and
transposition of the entire this instrument in Global
mode.
1Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode.
2Press the [EXIT] key.
3Press the [F1] (“Basic”) key.
4To adjust the tuning, select “Master Tune.” to
adjust the transposition, select “Key Transpose.”
5Use the VALUE controllers to adjust the setting.
You can use numeric keys [0]–[9] to enter a value
and press the [ENTER] key. Alternatively, you can
use the [VALUE] dial, or the [INC]/[DEC] keys.
If you wish to keep this setting after the power is
turned off, you must Write the Global settings to
memory. (☞p.43)
Bypassing the effects
Normally, effects are turned on/off within each pro-
gram, combination, or song, or in Sampling mode.
However if you want the entire-instrument to not use
any effects, you can use this Global bypass feature.
1Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode.
2Press the [EXIT] key.
3Press the [F1] “(Basic)” key.
4To turn off insert effect, check the “IFX Off” check
box.
To turn off master effect 1, check the “MFX1 Off”
check box. To turn off master effect 2, check the
“MFX2 Off” check box.
Specifying the function of the
Assignable Switch and Assign-
able Pedal
Set the assignable function of a footswitch (such as the
Korg PS-1) connected to the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH
jack.
This switch can act as a source for alternate modula-
tion or effect dynamic modulation, or switch porta-
mento on/off, control the sostenuto effect, turn the soft
pedal effect on/off, turn the arpeggiator on/off, select
programs or combinations (up/down), start/stop the
sequencer, punch-in/out on the sequencer, or be a trig-
ger to advance the cue list step (☞PG p.226).
• This setting is made in GLOBAL 1.1: System, Foot
page “Foot SW Assign.”
You can specify the assignable function that will be
performed by a footpedal (such as the Korg XVP-10
EXP/VOL or EXP-2) connected to the ASSIGNABLE
PEDAL jack.
This pedal can be used to control master volume, alter-
nate modulation or effect dynamic modulation, porta-
mento pitch change speed, volume, the pan following
an insert effect, pan, volume, or send levels to the mas-
ter effects (☞PG p.227).
• This setting is made in GLOBAL 1.1: System, Foot
page “Foot Pedal Assign.”
You can use this as a source for alternate modula-
tion or effect dynamic modulation, and use it to
control program parameters or effect parameters.
In this case, set “Foot Switch Assign” to Foot SW
(CC#82), and “Foot Pedal Assign” to Foot Pedal
(CC#04).
Here we will show how to make settings that allow an
assignable switch to change programs or combina-
tions.
1Connect a Korg PS-1 pedal switch (or other
momentary footswitch) to the ASSIGNABLE
SWITCH jack.
2Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode.
3Press the [EXIT] key.
4Press the [F3] (“Foot”) key.
5Select “Foot SW Assign,” and select either Pro-
gram Up or Program Down.
If you select Program Up, the next higher program
number will be selected each time you press the foot
switch.
If you select Program Down, the next lower pro-
gram number will be selected each time you press
the foot switch.
