Korg Electric Keyboard manual 240, Support for GS/XG part mode exclusive messages, Setting example

from MIDI OUT according to the local control setting (“Local Control On”) as described below.

Local Control On: Notes from the arpeggiator or RPPR will be transmitted from MIDI OUT. Normally you will use this setting.

Local Control Off: Notes from the arpeggiator or RPPR will not be transmitted from MIDI OUT. The arpeggiator or RPPR will only sound the notes (on this instrument).

Setting example 1

Record the note messages generated by the arpeggiator or RPPR function on the external MIDI sequencer/computer

Turn on this instrument’s arpeggiator or RPPR function. Set this instrument to Local Control On.

Turn Local Control On for this instrument.

Turn Echo Back Off on your external sequencer/computer. By turning echo back off, you will prevent the arpeggiator or RPPR function from performing duplicate processing on the monitored notes during recording.

During playback, turn off the arpeggiator and RPPR func- tions of this instrument.

Setting example 2

Use the external MIDI sequencer/computer to record only the notes that trigger the arpeggiator or RPPR function, and operate this instrument’s arpeggiator or RPPR func- tion for monitoring while recording, and during playback.

Turn on the TRITON Le’s arpeggiator or RPPR function. Set the TRITON Le to Local Control Off. The note messages generated by the arpeggiator or RPPR function will not be output. On your external MIDI sequencer/computer, turn echo back on. With these settings, the data will be recorded and played correctly, and the arpeggiator or RPPR function will not be applied in duplicate.

About GM/GS/XG

the TRITON Le supports the GM standard. It also supports the GM sound map (including bank select) with 128 pro- grams and 9 drum programs provided in ROM banks G, and g(d). (g(d) contains drum programs.)

GM is a standard that ensures basic compatibility of sounds etc. between different GM-compatible instruments made by different manufacturers, but you need to be aware of the fol- lowing.

•The GM System On message is received only in Sequencer mode. (“GM Initialize” SEQ 1.1–1d)

Roland GS and Yamaha XG are specifications by which these respective manufacturers have extended the GM standard.

the TRITON Le automatically converts the GS/XG sound maps to the GM sound map, and supports some of their messages. In Sequencer mode etc., GS/XG music data can be played back.

Since the TRITON Le does not support all of the GS/ XG sound maps or messages, some data may not be played back correctly.

If you wish to play music data from an external GM/GS/XG compatible sequencer, or to load it into a pattern (multi), set “Bank Map” (GLOBAL 1.1–2a) to GM.

Converting the GS/XG bank/program maps to the GM2 bank/program map

•When bank select/program change messages used by GS/XG are received, they will automatically be converted to the G, g(d) bank/program map of this instrument.

•The same conversion is performed when a SMF is loaded into a song in Media mode.

For banks that are used in common by GS/XG, GS Reset/XG System ON will be received to automatically convert to the optimal bank/program map for each.

Support for GS/XG part mode exclusive messages

•In Sequencer mode when GS/XG part mode exclusive messages Drum or MDrm 1–4 are received, bank g(d) (GM drum bank) will be selected for the specified track. Until this part mode state is defeated, bank select messages will no longer be received for the specified track.

•When an SMF is loaded into a song in Media mode, any bank select messages in a track that is set to a part mode of Drum or MDrm 1–4 will be ignored, and will not be loaded.

Support for NRPN messages used in GS/XG music data

The following NRPN messages can be received to modify the sound.
