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 program
changes or system exclusive
messages via MIDI, set the global
MIDI channel to match the MIDI
channel of the connected MIDI device.
LOCAL
[OFF, ON]
Switch the local on/off setting.
OFF ( ):
With this setting, controllers such as
the keyboard and modulation
wheel will be internally disconnected
from the tone generator section.
This setting prevents notes from
being sounded in duplicate when a
sequencer is connected and the performance
data is echoed back from
the sequencer. (Echo back is when
the performance data transmitted
by playing the microKORG is retransmitted
back to the microKORG
from the sequencer.)
ON ( ):
Select this setting when you are using
the microKORG by itself.
CLOCK [Internal, External, Auto]
Specifies how the microKORG will
synchronize with a connected external
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 messages
from the microKORG.
External ( ):
The microKORG's arpeggiator will
synchronize to the MIDI clock messages
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 device
connected to the MIDI IN connector.
Normally it will function using
the Internal setting.
When making settings for synchronizing
external MIDI devices,
refer to the owner's manuals
for the devices you are using.
