21. GLOBAL
Here you can make overall settings for the microKORG. "MASTER TUNE" (knob 1) and "MASTER TRANSPOSE" (knob 2) adjust the pitch. "VELOCITY CURVE" (knob 3) specifies the velocity, "POSITION" (knob 4) specifies the MIDI IN/OUT routing, and "AUDIO IN THRU" (knob 5) specifies whether the input signal from AUDIO IN will be output directly.
MASTER TUNE | [30.0...50.0] |
Adjusts the overall pitch in 0.1 Hz steps over a range of 430.0 Hz to
450.0Hz, in terms of A4 as the ref- erence pitch. (The highest digit "4" is not displayed.)
Use this when you need to tune the pitch of the microKORG to other in- struments.
MASTER TRANSPOSE
Adjusts the overall pitch in steps of a semitone (100 cents) over a range of one octave upward or down- ward.
Use this when you wish to trans- pose to suit the song you are play- ing.
VELOCITY CURVE [Curve, 1...127]
Selects how velocity (keyboard playing dynamics) will affect vol- ume and tone.
Use the setting that is appropriate for your situation.
Curve (

The normal curve. (➝ Figure
1...127:
The fixed velocity you specify here will be output regardless of how strongly you play the keyboard.
POSITION | [Post KBD, Pre TG] |
Specifies the internal MIDI IN/ OUT routing within the micro- KORG. This setting will affect the way in which MIDI data is trans- mitted and received, and how the arpeggiator data is handled.
Post KBD (
):
In this position, incoming MIDI data will be sent to the timbres without being affected by the glo- bal or front paneltranspose controls, and will not trigger the arpeggiator. Data produced by the keyboard will
AUDIO IN THRU | [OFF, ON] |
Specifies whether the signal input from AUDIO IN will be output di- rectly.
OFF (
):
The signal will not be output.
ON (
):
The signal will be output.
This setting is not memorized by the Write operation. When the power is turned on, it will al- ways be turned OFF. While you are editing, ORIGINAL VALUE
