Korg Electric Keyboard manual 233, Selecting combinations, Selecting program/combination banks

Bank select MSB (CC#0) [Bn, 00, mm],

Bank select LSB (CC#32) [Bn, 20, bb]

(n: channel, mm: bank number upper byte, bb: bank number lower byte)

•The internal banks that correspond to each bank select number will depend on the “Bank Map” setting (GLOBAL 1.1–2a). With the factory settings, this will be GM. (☞ p.124 “Bank Map”)

Simply receiving a Bank Select message will not cause the program or bank to change. The program or bank will actually change when a Program Change message is received.

Program mode

•In PROG 1.1: Play, program change and bank select messages are transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel. These messages are not received in PROG 2.1: Ed–Basic – PROG 7.2: Ed–MasterFX.

Combination, Sequencer mode

•Program change and bank select messages can be received on the MIDI channel specified for each timbre/ track to select programs on that timbre/track.

•When you select a combination, program change and bank select messages will be transmitted by timbres whose “Status” is EXT or EX2.

In Sequencer mode, program change or bank select messages will be transmitted by tracks whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2 when you select the “Program Select” (SEQ 1.1–2(3)a), when you select a song, or when you return to the beginning of a measure. (☞ p.54 “Program

Select”– )

•In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/ reception can be switched on/off for each timbre/track. (☞ p.41, 66 “Program Change”).

Selecting combinations

You can use program change and bank select messages to select combinations in the same way that you select pro- grams.

•Combinations 000–127 in banks A, B, and C correspond to program changes [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 7F].

•Similarly as for program banks, the internal banks that correspond to each bank select number will depend on the “Bank Map” setting (GLOBAL 1.1–2a). (☞ p.124 “Bank Map”)

•In COMBI 1.1: Play, program change and bank select messages are transmitted/received on the global MIDI channel. They are not received in COMBI 2.1: Ed–Prog/ Mixer – COMBI 7.2: Ed–MasterFX.

All program changes can be turned off in “MIDI Filter” (GLOBAL 2.1–1b).

As needed, you can independently turn all program changes on/off, specify whether or not incoming messages will be able to change combinations, and turn reception/transmis- sion of bank select messages on/off.

•If “Combi (Combi Change)” (GLOBAL 2.1–1b) is unchecked, the combination will not change even if a program change on the global MIDI channel is received in COMBI 1.1: Play. In this case, the program of the timbre that matches the MIDI channel of the received message will change.

•If “Bank (Bank Change)” (GLOBAL 2.1–1b) is unchecked, bank select messages will not be transmitted or received (☞ p.128 “MIDI Filter”).

After touch

Channel after touch [Dn, vv]

(n: channel, vv: value)

When you apply pressure to the keyboard after playing a note, an after touch effect will be applied, and Channel After Touch messages will be transmitted. When these messages are received, an after touch effect will be applied.

•After touch for the entire TRITON Le can be turned off in “AfterT (After Touch)” (GLOBAL 2.1–1b).

•In Combination and Sequencer modes, after touch can be switched on/off independently for each timbre/track (☞ p.41, 66 “After Touch” COMBI/SEQ 4.1–1(2)a).

Polyphonic key pressure [An, kk, vv]

(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: value)

There is another type of after touch called Polyphonic Key Pressure, which allows after touch to be applied indepen- dently for individual keys. This message can be used as an alternate modulation source, but cannot be transmitted by the TRITON Le’s keyboard. In order to use this message, it will have to be received from an external device, or recorded on your sequencer.

The after touch mentioned in this manual refers to Channel After Touch.

Pitch bender

Pitch bend change [En, bb, mm]

(n: channel, bb: lower byte of the value, mm: upper byte of the value, together expressing a value of 16,384 steps where 8,192 [bb, mm = 00H, 40H] is the center value)

When this instrument’s joystick is moved in the X axis (left/ right), a pitch bend effect will be applied, and pitch bender messages will also be transmitted. When these messages are received, a pitch bend effect will be applied.

The range of pitch change that is produced by pitch bend messages can also be adjusted via MIDI. (☞ p.237 “Changing the pitch bend range”)

Control change

[Bn, cc, vv]

Transmitted and received as (n: channel, cc: control change

no., vv: value)

Refer to “MIDI transmission when the TRITON Le‘s control- lers are operated” (☞ p.224) and “TRITON Le operations when control changes are transmitted/received” (☞ p.228).

•Control changes can be turned on/off as a whole in “Ctrl Change (Control Change)” (GLOBAL 2.1–1b).

•In Combination and Sequencer modes, the COMBI/SEQ 4.1–4.4: Ed-MIDI Filter 1–4 settings allow transmission/ reception of control changes to be individually turned on/off for each timbre/track. For the assignable controllers ([SW1], [SW2], REALTIME CONTROLS [1]– [4] knobs, Foot Pedal/Switch), MIDI filter settings will apply to the control change number to which each controller is assigned. “Other Control Change” applies to control changes that are not covered by the items of the other check boxes (☞ p.42, 68).

MIDI CC#00–CC#95 can be selected for the B-mode of REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs.
