Korg Electric Keyboard manual 236, Controlling the tone/envelope of a program, Tuning

Sostenuto (CC#66) [Bn, 42, vv]

If the above CC# is assigned as the function of the ASSIGN- ABLE SWITCH, operating the switch will transmit this mes- sage with vv=127 [7F] for ON, and vv=0 [00] for OFF, and the sostenuto effect will be turned on/off. When this mes- sage is received, the result will be the same as when the con- troller is operated (OFF for vv=63 [3F] or below, and ON for vv=64 [40] or above).

Soft pedal (CC#67) [Bn, 43, vv]

If the above CC# is assigned as the function of the ASSIGN- ABLE SWITCH, the soft pedal effect will be turned on/off. When this message is received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated.

Controlling via the controllers of a connected MIDI instrument such as the TRITON

Ribbon Controller (CC#16) [Bn, 10, vv]

When a control change is received from the ribbon controller or other assigned controller of a MIDI instrument (such as the TRITON), the specified effect (e.g., alternate modulation or dynamic modulation) will be applied.

•In Combination or Sequencer modes, transmission and reception can be turned on/off for each timbre/track. (“Ribbon CC#16” COMBI 4.2–2a, SEQ 4.2–3(4)a)

Controller (CC#18) [Bn, 12, vv]

When the [VALUE] slider of MIDI instruments such as the TRITON, or a control change assigned to a controller is received, the specified alternate modulation or dynamic modulation effect will be applied.

Controlling the tone/envelope of a program

CC#70 control specific parameters of a program. For details on the program parameters that correspond to each control change, and how this instrument will respond in each mode when these are received, refer to “TRITON Le operations when control changes are transmitted/received” (☞ p.228).

Low pass filter cutoff (CC#74) [Bn, 4A, vv]

Resonance level/High pass filter cutoff (CC#71) [Bn, 47, vv] Filter EG intensity (CC#79) [Bn, 4F, vv]

Release time (CC#72) [Bn, 48, vv]

These messages are transmitted when you operate this instrument’s REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs in A- mode. (They can also be set as B-mode functions.)

Sustain level (CC#70) [Bn, 46, vv]

Attack time (CC#73) [Bn, 49, vv]

Decay time (CC#75) [Bn, 4B, vv]

LFO 1 speed (CC#76) [Bn, 4C, vv]

LFO 1 depth (pitch) (CC#77) [Bn, 4D, vv]

LFO 1 delay (CC#78) [Bn, 4E, vv]

These messages are transmitted when assign the above CC# to the REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs in B-mode and operate them.

When you operate these, the corresponding program parameters will be controlled, and the sound and envelope will change. When these messages are received, the result will be the same as when the controller is operated. (When the message has a value vv=64 [40], the setting will have the value that was set by the program parameter.)

•In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/ reception can be turned on/off independently for each timbre/track (“Realtime Control Knob1, 2, 3, 4” COMBI 4.3–1a, SEQ 4.3).

In Program mode, the corresponding program parame- ters will be temporarily edited by these messages. You can Write the program to save the modified state (except for certain parameters). The Write operation can also be performed by a MIDI exclusive Program Write Request message, in addition to the usual method of using the TRITON Le’s switches. When you write the data, the values of the corresponding program parame- ters will be rewritten.

The results of receiving these messages will depend on the instrument. The operation may be different when a device other than the TRITON Le is connected.

Silencing all notes on a specific channel

All note off (CC#123) [Bn, 7B, 00] (value 00)

When this is received, all currently-sounding notes on that channel will be turned off (as though the keys had been released). However, the release portion of the notes will remain.

All sound off (CC#120) [Bn, 78, 00] (value 00)

When this is received, all currently-sounding notes on that channel will be silenced. While the All Note Off message allows the release portion of the notes to remain, the All Sound Off message will silence the notes immediately.

However, these messages are provided for emergency use, and are not something that you will use while performing.

Resetting all controllers on a specific channel

Reset all controllers (CC#121) [Bn, 79, 00] (value 00)

When this is received, the value of all controllers on that channel will be reset.

Using RPN to edit

RPN (Registered Parameter Number) is a type of message that allows settings to be made in a way that is common between instrument manufacturers. (NRPN (Non-registered Parameter Numbers) and exclusive messages can be freely used in non-compatible ways by different manufacturers and models of instrument.)

RPN messages can be used for editing with the following procedure.

1Use RPN MSB (CC#101) [Bn, 65, mm] and RPN LSB (CC#100) [Bn, 64, rr] (n: channel, mm, rr: upper and lower bytes of the parameter number) messages to select the parameter.

2Use data entry MSB (CC#6) [Bn, 06, mm] and data entry LSB (CC#38) [Bn, 26, vv] (n: channel, mm, vv: upper and lower bytes of the value, together expressing 16,384 lev- els) to specify the value.

3You can use data increment (CC#96) [Bn, 60,00] or data decrement (CC#97) [Bn, 61, 00] (n: channel, value is fixed at 00) to change the value in steps of one.

The TRITON Le can receive the following three RPN mes- sages (tuning, transpose, and pitch bend range).

Tuning

RPN fine tune [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 01]

This RPN message can be used to adjust the detuning for a program or timbre (in Combination mode), or for a track (in Sequencer mode).

The procedure is as follows.

1[Bn, 65, 00, 64, 01]: Select RPN parameter 01.

2[Bn, 06, mm, 26, vv]: Use data entry to set the value. A
