GLOBAL parameters
To edit the GLOBAL parameters, hold down the SHIFT/EXIT button and press
the PROGRAM (GLOBAL) button. To move between pages, use the PAGE+/–
buttons or the category/favorite buttons.
Changes you make to Global parameter settings will be lost when you
turn off the power. If you want to keep the changes you make, you must
save the GLOBAL parameters
g01~09: Common
The settings you make from the global screen will apply to the entire
KingKORG, such as the overall tuning and the velocity curve.

instruments.

Adjusts the overall pitch in steps of a semitone (100 cents) over a range of one
octave up or down. Use this when you want to transpose to suit the song you
are playing.

Specifies the internal MIDI IN/OUT routing within the KingKORG. This setting
will affect the way that MIDI data is transmitted and received, and how the
arpeggiator data is handled.
If you've recalled a program whose KeyResponse
"Shlw" or "Deep," the keyboard will always output a velocity of 64, and
your keyboard playing will not be affected by the VelCurve setting.
PostKBD:
Data received from the MIDI IN connector will be sent to the timbres
without being affected by the Global settings. The data that is output by
the keyboard will be converted according to the Global settings, be routed
through the arpeggiator, and then sent to the MIDI OUT connector.

VelCurve (Velocity Curve) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [1...8, Const64]
Different velocity curves allow you to you tailor the response of the keyboard to
your own playing style. Lighter curves are best for heavy-handed players,
higher curves may work better for players with a light touch.
If you've recalled a program whose KeyResponse
"Shlw" or "Deep," the keyboard will always output a velocity of 64, and
your keyboard playing will not be affected by the VelCurve setting.

TIP:
Curves 7 and 8 produce little change for medium-strength playing. However, these
curves will produce a great deal of change with softly played notes, so they may be
more difficult to control. Choose the curve that is most appropriate for your playing
dynamics or for the effect you want to obtain.

When B. PreTG
This curve requires you to play strongly in order to
produce an effect.
This curve is closer to the normal curve than 1.
This curve is closer to the normal curve than 2.
This is the typical curve.
This curve lets you produce an effect without having
to play strongly.
This curve lets you produce an effect without
requiring you to play even as strongly as 5.
This curve produces a fairly steady effect with little
change for medium-strength playing.
This curve is flatter than 7.
Velocity will always be 64.
Equal temperament, which is the most commonly
used scale. Every semitone is spaced an equal pitch
distance from the next.
Pure major scale. Major chords in the key specified
by ScaleKey will be completely harmonious.
Pure minor scale. Minor chords in the key specified
by ScaleKey will be completely harmonious.
Arabic scale. It includes the quarter-tone scale
characteristic of Arabian music.
This is the Pythagorean scale. Based on ancient
Greek musical theory, it is particularly effective for
playing melodies.
This is the Werckmeister temperament. It is an equal
tempered scale of the late Baroque period.
This is the Kirnberger temperament. It was created
in the 18th century, and is used mainly for tuning
harpsichords.
