Korg Electric Keyboard manual Global 3.1 User Scale, 130, 1a User Octave Scale

When you save data dumps from this instrument to a MIDI data filer, do not save multiple data dumps together. If this data is saved together, there will be insufficient time for this instrument to write each received portion into memory before the next portion of data arrives, so that it will be impossible to receive all of the data correctly.

Reception

Do not touch this instrument’s switches or turn off the power while data is being received.

Before receiving data, we recommend that you close the various dialog boxes, page menus, or utility commands (with the exception of the “Receive and Save MIDI Exclusive Data” dialog box (MEDIA 1.1–2a: Save Exclu- sive). It is not possible to receive dump data in the Sequencer mode SEQ 2.1: CUE List page when you have pressed the [F7] (“EDIT”) key and are editing the cue list. In this case, you must press the [F7] (“DONE”) key and exit cue list editing if you need to receive data.

After a data dump is received, this instrument will require up to 20 seconds to process the data and write it into memory. During this time, the display will indicate “Now writing into internal memory.” While this dis- play is shown, you must under no circumstances turn off the power of this instrument. If the power is turned off during this time, this instrument may fail to operate correctly when the power is turned on again. If this occurs, hold down the [MENU] key and the [9] key while you turn on the power. However when this is done, the contents of memory will be initialized.

Transmission and reception of MIDI data is also impos- sible during this time. When receiving multiple data dumps in succession, you must allow an interval between the transmission of each data dump. (☞ refer to the table below)

Processing time for writing into memory

Type of data dumped	Processing time for writing into memory
All	Approximately 20 seconds
All Programs	Approximately 8 seconds
One Program Bank	Approximately 2 seconds
All Combinations	Approximately 3 seconds
One Combination Bank	Approximately 2 seconds
All Drum Kits	Approximately 3 seconds
All Arpeggio Patterns	Approximately 2 seconds
Global Setting	Approximately 1 seconds
Sequencer	Approximately 1 second

While this instrument is writing the data into memory, transmission of Active Sensing (FEh) messages from the MIDI OUT connector will stop.

Data dump reception procedure

1Connect this instrument and the device that will receive the data dump.

If you are using a computer that is able to transmit MIDI exclusive data, connect the computer’s MIDI interface (connected to the computer) to the MIDI IN connector of this instrument. (☞ p.229)

If you are using a MIDI data filer, connect the MIDI OUT connector of the data filer to the MIDI IN connector of this instrument.

130

2Set the MIDI channel of the MIDI device to match the global MIDI channel “MIDI Channel” (2.1–1a) of this instrument. If data that was previously transmitted to the MIDI device is now going to be received again by this instrument, set the global MIDI channel of this instru- ment to the same global MIDI channel setting that was used when transmitting the data.

To set the MIDI channel of the transmitting device, refer to the owner’s manual for that device.

3Turn check the “Exclusive” setting (2.1–1b).

4Transmit the data from the other device. For the proce- dure, refer to the owner’s manual for the device you are using. While the data is being received, the display will indicate “Now received MIDI data.”

GLOBAL 3.1: User Scale

Here you can create sixteen User Octave Scales and one User All Notes Scale. The user scales you create here can be selected in the PROG 2.1–1, COMBI 3.2–1, SEQ 3.2–1(2).

If you wish to keep an edited user scale after the power is turned off, be sure to write (save) your settings.

This data is written by the Utility “Write Global Set- ting.” Alternatively, you can press the [REC/WRITE] key to access the Write Global Setting dialog box, and press the [F8] (“OK”) key to write the edited data.

3.1–1: Octave

3.1–1a

3.1–1b

3.1–1a: User Octave Scale

User Octave [00...15]

Select the user octave scale that you wish to edit.

Tune [–99…+99]

Specifies the scale for one octave of notes.

When you adjust the pitch of each note in the octave (C–B) in one-cent steps, your settings will be applied to all octaves. This adjustment is relative to equal temperament.

A setting of –99lowers the pitch approximately a semitone below normal pitch.

A setting of +99 raises the pitch approximately a semitone above normal pitch.

The note can also be selected by holding down the [ENTER] key and playing a note on the keyboard.
