Korg Speaker System owner manual After touch, Pitch bender, Control change, Program mode

Program mode

•In Program P0: Play, program change and bank select messages are transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel. These messages are not received in P1: Edit-Basic – P9: Edit-Master Effect.

Combination, Sequencer, and Song Play modes

•Program change and bank select messages can be received on the MIDI channel specified for each timbre/track to select programs on that timbre/ track.

•When you select a combination, program change and bank select messages will be transmitted by timbres whose “Status” is EXT or EX2.

•In Sequencer and Song Play modes, program change or bank select messages will be transmitted by tracks whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2 when you select the “Bank/Program” (P0: Program tab), when you select a song, or when you return to the beginning of a measure. (☞p.30, 47 in the Parameter Guide “Bank/Program”–”MIDI”)

•In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/reception can be switched on/off for each timbre/track. (P3: MIDI Filter and MIDI 1 tab “Enable Program Change.”) (☞p.35, 57 in the Parameter Guide).

Selecting combinations

You can use program change and bank select messages to select combinations in the same way that you select programs.

•Combinations 000–127 in banks A, B, C, and D correspond to program changes [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 7F].

•Similarly as for program banks, the internal banks that correspond to each bank select number will depend on the “Bank Map” setting (Global P0: Preference tab). (☞“Bank Map” on p.115 in the Parameter Guide.)

•In Combination P0: Play, program change and bank select messages are transmitted/received on the global MIDI channel. They are not received in P1: Edit-Program/Mixer – P9: Edit-Master Effect.

All program changes can be turned off in Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Filter.”

As needed, you can independently turn all program changes on/off, specify whether or not incoming mes- sages will be able to change combinations, and turn reception/transmission of bank select messages on/ off.

•If “Combination Change” is unchecked, the combination will not change even if a program change on the global MIDI channel is received in Combination P0: Play. In this case, the program of the timbre that matches the MIDI channel of the received message will change.

•If “Bank Change” is unchecked, bank select messages will not be transmitted or received (☞p.118 in the Parameter Guide “MIDI Filter”).

After touch

Channel after touch [Dn, vv] (n: channel, vv: value)

When you apply pressure to the keyboard after play- ing a note, an after touch effect will be applied, and Channel After Touch messages will be transmitted. When these messages are received, an after touch effect will be applied.

•After touch for the entire instrument can be turned off in Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Filter.”

•In Combination and Sequencer modes, after touch can be switched on/off independently for each timbre/track (P3: MIDI 1 tab “Enable After Touch) (☞p.35. 57 in the Parameter Guide “MIDI Filter”).

Polyphonic key pressure [An, kk, vv]

(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: value)

There is another type of after touch called Polyphonic Key Pressure, which allows after touch to be applied independently for individual keys. This message can be used as an alternate modulation source, but cannot be transmitted by the TRITON’s keyboard. In order to use this message, it will have to be received from an external device, or recorded on your sequencer.

The after touch mentioned in this manual refers to Channel After Touch.

Pitch bender

Pitch bender change [En, bb, mm]

(n: channel, bb: lower byte of the value, mm: upper byte of the value, together expressing a value of 16,384 steps where 8,192 [bb, mm = 00H, 40H] is the center value)

When the TRITON’s joystick is moved in the X axis (left/right), a pitch bend effect will be applied, and pitch bender messages will also be transmitted. When these messages are received, a pitch bend effect will be applied.

The range of pitch change that is produced by pitch bend messages can also be adjusted via MIDI. (☞p.120 “Changing the pitch bend range”)

Control change

[Bn, cc, vv]

Transmitted and received as (n: channel, cc: control

change no., vv: value)

Refer to “MIDI transmission when controllers are oper- ated” (p.221) and “How the TRITON transmits/ receives control changes” (p.223) in the Parameter Guide.

•Control changes can be turned on/off as a whole in Global P1: MIDI “MIDI Filter.”
