Pedal And Other Controller Settings - Korg Kronos Operation Manual

Creating an External Setup
To create a new External Setup:
1. Go to the Global P1: MIDI page, and press the
External1 tab.
The External1 page appears, with MIDI channel and
CC assignments for each of the Control Surface sliders,
knobs, and switches.
2. At the top of the page, set the External Mode Setup
parameter to the External Setup that you'd like to
edit.
3. Set up each slider, knob, and switch as desired.
Sliders and knobs send the full range of CC values,
from 0 to 127. Switches just send a value of 0 when
they're turned off, and 127 when they're turned on.
Gch means that the slider will transmit on the Global
MIDI Channel.
4. Use the Write Global Setting menu command to
save the new External Setup.
For more information, see "Writing Global settings" on
page 185.
Selecting External Setups
Once you've created one or more External Setups,
you're ready to use it to control external devices. First,
you'll want to select the setup.

Pedal and other controller settings

The Controllers tab of the Controllers/Scales page lets
you control how the footswitches and foot pedal will
work, as well as setting up controller mappings for the
KARMA controls and the chord pads.
Setting up the Assignable Switch and

footswitch (such as the optional Korg PS‐1) connected
to the rear‐panel ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack.
