12| The Piano
Connect a footswitch (like the optional KORG PS­1 or PS­3) to the PEDAL 1
jack. The footswitch can operate as a sostenuto pedal, or as a rotary slow/
fast switch (when the rotary effect is selected).
Connect a footswitch (like the optional KORG PS­1 or PS­3) or a volume/
expression pedal (like the optional KORG XVP­10, XVP­20, or EXP­2) to the
PEDAL 2 jack. The footswitch operates as a soft pedal. The volume/expres­
sion pedal operates as a volume control (this is the default setting) or as a
wah filter control (when the wah effect is selected). To control the wah effect
turn the Auto/Pedal LED on in the PRE FX section (Pedal mode).
While the KORG DS­2H pedal comes already calibrated, the volume/expres­
sion pedal usually requires calibration to make use of the full range of values.
Calibration can also be used to choose a footswitch polarity. To calibrate the
pedals (and set their polarity), see "Calibrating the pedals" on page 41.
6 MIDI connectors (IN, OUT)
By using MIDI you can control the SV­2 from a sequencer, or control an ex­
ternal MIDI device from the SV­2. When using the SV­2 to control an external
MIDI device, or to record into a sequencer, press the LOCAL OFF button to
turn its LED on; this disconnects the keyboard from the internal sounds (but
not from MIDI).
MIDI OUT transmits MIDI data. Use it when you want to control a connected
external MIDI device or computer. Use a standard MIDI cable to connect it to
the MIDI IN connector of the other device.
MIDI IN receives MIDI data. Use it when you want to control the SV­2 from a
connected external MIDI device or computer. Use a standard MIDI cable to
connect it to the MIDI OUT connector of the other device.
7 INPUT jacks (L/MONO, R/MONO)
Connect a line­level source, like a keyboard/synthesizer, a CD or audio play­
er, to these jacks. For mono connections, use either of them.
8 OUTPUT jacks (L/MONO, R/MONO)
These are analog output jacks, available either in 1/4" unbalanced jacks, or
XLR balanced jacks. Either use the unbalanced 1/4" jacks for shorter run, or
the XLR balanced jacks for longer runs, like when playing on stage. In any
case, they are perfect replica the one of the other.
If you need mono output, connect either of the MONO 1/4" jacks. XLR jacks
cannot be used for mono output.
HINT: XLR balanced outputs are recommended whenever possible.
WARNING: If you connect the XLR jacks to a mixer or similar device, be sure to turn
off the phantom power of that device. The SV­2 might be damaged if you fail to do so.
