Korg MICRO manual Midi CH, Local

22. MIDI

Here you can make MIDI-related settings for the microKORG.

MIDI CH [1...16]

Specifies the MIDI channel.

When you wish to transmit pro- gram changes or system exclusive messages via MIDI, set the global MIDI channel to match the MIDI channel of the connected MIDI de- vice.

LOCAL [OFF, ON]

Switch the local on/off setting.

OFF ():

With this setting, controllers such as the keyboard and modulation wheel will be internally discon- nected from the tone generator sec- tion.

This setting prevents notes from being sounded in duplicate when a sequencer is connected and the per- formance data is echoed back from the sequencer. (Echo back is when the performance data transmitted by playing the microKORG is re- transmitted back to the microKORG from the sequencer.)

ON ():

Select this setting when you are us- ing the microKORG by itself.

CLOCK [Internal, External, Auto]

Specifies how the microKORG will synchronize with a connected exter- nal MIDI device (sequencer, rhythm machine, etc.). If the LFO 1/2 or DELAY "TEMPO SYNC" is ON, the LFO rate and delay time will also synchronize in the same way as the arpeggiator.

Internal ( ):

The arpeggiator will be determined by the internal clock (specified by "TEMPO"). Select this setting if you are using the microKORG by itself, or if you are using the microKORG as the master (controlling device) so that an external MIDI device will synchronize to the MIDI clock mes- sages from the microKORG.

External ():

The microKORG's arpeggiator will synchronize to the MIDI clock mes- sages received from an external MIDI device connected to the MIDI

IN connector. (➚)

Auto ():

The microKORG will automatically function using the External setting if MIDI clock messages are being received from an external MIDI de- vice connected to the MIDI IN con- nector. Normally it will function us- ing the Internal setting.

When making settings for syn- chronizing external MIDI de- vices, refer to the owner's manu- als for the devices you are using.
