Korg Electric Keyboard manual 157, Combination, Sequencer mode

Use MFX1 Send “Send1” and “Send2” (PROG 7.1–1a) to specify the send level for the Master Effects. This setting is effective if “BUS Select” (PROG 7.1–1a) is set to L/R or Off. If “BUS Select” is set to IFX, use “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))”(PROG 7.1–2) for the post-IFX signal (☞ “3. Mixer”).

Send Level 1 can be controlled by MIDI Control Change CC#93, and Send Level 2 can be controlled by MIDI Control Change CC#91. At this time, the actual send level is determined by multiplying the Send Level 1 or 2 value of the oscillator with the Send Level 1 or 2 value received via MIDI.

— Settings for drum programs —

If you have selected “Drums” for “Oscillator Mode” (PROG 2.1–1a) of a Program, the “Use DKit Setting” (PROG 7.1–1b) box becomes available. If you check this box, “BUS Select” (GLOBAL 5.1–3a) for each key of the selected DrumKit becomes effective. For example you can send snare-type sounds to IFX to apply a gate effect, and send the other sounds to AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO and R with- out applying the insert effect. If you de-select the box, all drum instrument outputs are sent to the bus specified by “BUS Select” (PROG 7.1–1a). You may apply the Insert Effect to all drum instruments, regardless of the DrumKit settings.

2–2. Combination, Sequencer mode

Use the “BUS Select” settings (COMBI 7.1–1a, SEQ 7.1–1 (2)a) settings of the Timbre (Combination)/Track (sequencer) to specify whether the insert effect will be applied to a timbre/track.

In the same way as for Program mode, you can select from L/R, IFX, 1, 2, 1/2, or Off for each timbre/track.

“S1 (Send1(MFX1)),” “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” become available if “BUS Select” has been set to L/R or Off.

If IFX is selected, use “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” for the post-IFX signal (☞ “3. Mixer”).

Send level 1 is controlled by MIDI control change CC#93, and send level 2 by MIDI control change CC#91. At this time, the actual send level will be the send level 1 or 2 of the program oscillator used by the timbre/ track multiplied by the send level 1 or 2 that is set via MIDI. (“Send Level” ☞ p.159)

The following illustration is an example in Combination mode. “BUS Select” settings have been made to send the output of timbre 1 to IFX and the other timbres to L/R. The output passes through the master EQ, and is sent to AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO and R. It is not sent to the insert effect.

— Settings for drum Programs —

If a drum Program (“OSC Mode” Drums) is selected for tim- bres in Combination mode and for tracks in Sequencer mode, you can select “DKit” for “BUS Select.” If you select “DKit,” the “BUS Select” (GLOBAL 5.1–3a) settings for each key become effective, and each drum instrument sound will be routed to the corresponding buses (e.g.: the snare sound is sent to IFX, and other sounds to L/MONO and R). If you select anything other than DKit, you may apply the Insert Effect to all drum instruments, regardless of the DrumKit settings.

If “BUS Select” is set to DKit, you will be able to select “DKit IFX Patch.” This temporarily patches the “BUS Select” IFX settings to send them to L/R.

For example, suppose you have assigned a drum program to timbre 1 and a conventional program to timbre 2, and set “BUS Select” to DKit for timbre 1 and to IFX for timbre 2. Since timbre 1 is set to DKit, the “BUS Select” (GLOBAL 5.1–3a) setting of the drum kit will be used.

If, for example, you have specified IFX for snare-type sounds, use “DrumKit IFX Patch” when you do not want the insert effect used by timbre 2 to be used for the drum program. Select the Utility “DKit IFX Patch,” and tempo- rarily send the drum kit IFX to L/R. Press the [F8] (“OK”) key to execute, and the snare sounds will be sent to L/R. When you want to return to the original sounds, select IFX→ IFX.
