Korg Electric Keyboard manual 160, Setting for drum program

2. Routing

Two master effects (MFX 1 and 2) can be used in any mode other than Sampling (if the separately sold EXB-SMPL option is installed). If you are not using the Insert Effect in any mode, the Master Effects send levels are determined by the “Send Level 1/2 (MFX2)” parameters specified indepen- dently for the oscillators (Program), timbres (Combination), tracks (Sequencer). For example, you can apply substantial reverberation to a piano sound assigned to the timbre and tracks, a small amount of reverberation to the strings sound, and no reverberation to the bass sound. If you are using the Insert Effect, set the “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” parameters for the post-IFX signals.

2–1. Program mode

The PROG 7.1–1a MFX Send parameters “Send 1” and “Send 2” or the PROG 7.1–2a “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” parameters that follow IFX determine the send levels to the master effects.

The PROG 7.1–1a MFX Send “Send 1” and “Send 2” settings are used when “BUS Select” is set to L/R or Off. Each can be set for oscillator 1 and 2.

The PROG 7.1–2a “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” settings that follow IFX are used when “BUS Select” is set to IFX. If the insert effect are chained (connected in series), the “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” that follows the last-connected IFX will be used.

If “BUS Select” is 1, 2 or 1/2, the oscillator will be directly output to AUDIO OUTPUT (INDIVIDUAL)1, 2 (☞ p.162 “Individual Outputs”). Send levels 1/2 will be ignored, and the master effects will not be applied.

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 on global MIDI channel “MIDI Channel” (GLOBAL 2.1–1a). At this time, the actual send level uses the value of the Send 1 and 2 settings for Oscillators 1 and 2, multiplied by the Send Level 1 and 2 values received via MIDI.

– Setting for drum program –

If the program “Oscillator Mode” (PROG 2.1–1a) is Drums, the “USE DKit Setting” (PROG 7.1–1b) will be used.

If this is checked, the setting for each key of the selected drum kit will be used. The drum instrument for a key whose drum kit “BUS (Bus Select)” (GLOBAL 5.1–3a) parameter is set to L/R or Off will use the “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” (GLOBAL 5.1–3a) settings. If IFX is used, the “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” (PROG 7.1–2a) after passing through IFX will be used.

If this is not checked, the “Send 1” and “Send 2” (PROG 7.1– 1a, MFX Send) settings or the “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” (PROG 7.1–2a) settings after passing through IFX will be used for all drum instruments. (This is the same as when “Oscillator Mode” is Single or Double.)

2–2. Combination, Sequencer mode

Use “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” (7.1– 1(2)a) for timbres (Combination) and tracks (Sequencer) to set the Send level for each timbre and track. As with Pro- gram mode, if “BUS Select” is set to L/R or Off, “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” become effective. In this case, the actual send level will be the setting of the program (PROG 7.1–1a) used by the timbre/track multi- plied by the send level you specify here.

– Send level –

For example, if a Program’s “OSC1 Send1” is set to 127, “Send2” set to 064, “OSC2 Send1” set to 064, “Send2” set to 127, a Combination’s “Send1” set to 064, and “Send2” set to 127, the actual send levels of the combination are calculated as follows:

OSC1 Send1=127 (100%)*064(50%)=064(50%) OSC1 Send2=064 (50%)*127(100%)=064(50%) OSC2 Send1=064 (50%)*064(50%)=032(25%)

OSC2 Send2=127 (100%)*127(100%)=127(100%)

If IFX is selected for “BUS Select”, use the “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” parameters for the post-IFX signals.

If 1, 2 or 1/2 is selected instead, these settings are ignored and the Master Effect is not applied.

Send Level 1 responds to MIDI Control Change CC#93, and Send2 Level responds to MIDI Control Change CC#91. If “Send1(MFX1)” and “Send2(MFX2)” for each timbre/track are effective, the parameter will be con- trolled on the MIDI channels set for the corresponding timbres and tracks. If the “Send1(MFX1)” and “Send2(MFX2)” parameters for the post-IFX signals are effective, they can be controlled on the MIDI channels assigned to IFX.

The following screens are examples in Combination mode. The “BUS Select” setting in screen shot (1) sends timbre 1 to IFX, and the remaining timbres to L/R. In this case, the send levels from timbre 1 to the master effects are set by “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” after the signal has passed through IFX: 01:St. Amp Simulation as shown in screen shot (2). (In this example, these are set to 032 and 127 respectively.) Other timbres will use the “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” settings shown in screen shot (1). (At this time, the send level will be the send level of the pro- gram oscillator multiplied by this send level.)
