Korg Electric Keyboard manual 234, Using the joystick to apply modulation, Controlling the volume

Using the joystick to apply modulation

Modulation 1 depth (CC#01) [Bn, 01, vv]

When you move the TRITON Le’s joystick in the +Y direc- tion (away from yourself), Modulation 1 Depth messages will be transmitted. When these messages are received, the same effect will be applied as when the TRITON Le’s joy- stick is operated. Normally this will apply a vibrato effect (pitch LFO).

•In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/ reception can be switched on/off for each timbre/track (☞ “JS+Y CC#01” COMBI/SEQ 4.2–1/2a).

Modulation 2 depth (CC#02) [Bn, 02, vv]

When you move the TRITON Le’s joystick in the –Y direc- tion (toward yourself), Modulation 2 Depth messages will be transmitted. When these messages are received, the same effect will be applied as when the TRITON Le’s joystick is operated. Normally this will apply a wah effect (filter LFO).

•In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/ reception can be switched on/off for each timbre/track. (☞ “JS–Y CC#02” COMBI/SEQ 4.2–1/2a)

Other manufacturers use this message for other pur- poses (e.g., breath controller, etc.)

Controlling the portamento effect

Portamento time (CC#05) [Bn, 05, vv]

When the above CC# is assigned as a B-mode function for one of the REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs, rotating that knob will transmit Portamento Time messages, and will modify the speed at which the portamento pitch changes. When this message is received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated.

Portamento switch (CC#65) [Bn, 41, vv]

When the above CC# is assigned to “SW1,” “SW2” or ASSIGNABLE SWITCH, operating that switch will transmit vv=127 [7F] for ON or vv=0 [00] for OFF, and the porta- mento effect will be switched on/off. When this message is received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated. (vv of 63 [3F] or less will be OFF, and 64 [40] or greater will be ON.) (☞ p.220 “SW1, SW2 Assign List”)

•In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/ reception of this message can be turned on/off independently for each timbre/track. (“Portamento SW CC#65” COMBI 4.1–2a, SEQ 4.1–3(4)a)

•In Sequencer mode, portamento time/switch messages will be transmitted by each track whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2 when you set “Portamento” (SEQ 4.1– 3(4)a), re-select a song or SMF, or return to the beginning of a measure. (☞ p.63)

Controlling the volume

Volume (CC#07) [Bn, 07, vv]

When the above CC# is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL or as the B-mode function of a REALTIME CON- TROL knob [1]–[4], operating that controller will transmit Volume messages, and the volume will change. When this message is received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated.

Expression (CC#11) [Bn, 0B, vv]

When the above CC# is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL or as the B-mode function of a REALTIME CON- TROL knob [1]–[4], operating that controller will transmit Expression messages, and the volume will change. When this message is received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated.

The volume of the TRITON Le is determined by summing the value of the Volume message with the value of the Expression message.

If adjusting the Volume message does not increase the vol- ume as you expect, or if there is no sound, transmit MIDI messages from an external device to reset the value of the Expression message (set vv to 127). In Sequencer mode, this will be reset when the “Location” of the song is moved to 001:01.000.

•In Combination mode, Volume messages will be transmitted by each timbre whose “Status” is EXT or EX2 when you re-select the combination.

•When you change the “Volume” setting (SEQ 1.1–4(5)) in Sequencer mode, or when you re-select the song or return to the beginning of the song in Sequencer mode, volume messages will be transmitted by each track whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2.

Regardless of the “Status” settings, re-selecting a song, or returning to the beginning will reset the internal Vol- ume value to the value specified by each track (the starting settings), and will reset the Expression value to the maximum.

You can control the volume independently for each track. You will normally use Volume messages to set the initial volume level for each track (the starting settings), and use Expression messages to create changes in dynamics within the musical data of the song.

By using the universal exclusive Master Volume message, you can adjust the overall volume without changing the vol- ume balance between timbres or tracks. (☞ p.237 “About system exclusive messages”)

Controlling panpot (stereo position)

Panpot (CC#10) [Bn, 0A, vv]

(vv: value, where 00 is far left, 64 is center, and 127 is far right)

When the above CC# is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL or as the B-mode function of a REALTIME CON- TROLS knob [1]–[4], operating that controller will transmit Panpot messages, and the panning will change. When this message is received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated.

•When you set the “Pan” (SEQ 1.1–4(5)) in Sequencer mode, or when you re-select the song or return to the beginning of the measure in Sequencer mode, Panpot messages (except for RND) will be transmitted by each track whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2 (☞ p.55).

Post insert effect panpot (CC#08) [Bn, 08, vv]

(vv: value, where 00 is far left, 64 is center, and 127 is far right)

When the above CC# is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL or as the B-mode function of a REALTIME CON- TROLS knob [1]–[4], operating that controller will transmit Post Insert Effect Panpot messages, and the panning of the sound following the insert effect will change. When this message is received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated.

•In Program and Sampling (when the EXB-SMPL option is installed) modes, this message is transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel. In Combination and Sequencer modes, this is transmitted and received on the MIDI channel specified for each insert effect.

•When you set “Pan (CC#8)” (SEQ 7.1–3a) in Sequencer mode, or when you re-select the song or return to the
