About global settings

Switch to Global mode when you want to change settings that apply to
the entire KingKORG or when you want to make MIDI‐related settings.
Global mode contains various settings such as master tune,
transpose, and global MIDI channel. (PG: "5. GLOBAL parameters")
Changes you make to these settings will be lost if you turn off
the power without saving. Be sure to save your settings if you
want to keep them. (OM: p.21 "1. Saving global settings")

Restoring the factory settings
Here's how to restore the KingKORG's programs and global data
settings to their factory‐set condition. The factory settings are called
the "preload data." To return to the factory‐set state, execute the
Load Preload operation.
When you execute Load Preload, the factory set data will
overwrite the data you've saved in internal memory. Make
sure that you don't mind losing this data.
Do not touch the KingKORG's knobs or keyboard while the
Preload operation is in progress. Never turn off the power
during this process.
Of factory‐set programs 1–300, programs 201–300 (programs
containing no preset data) will not return to their factory‐set
state. If programs are saved in these locations, they will remain
in that state.
You can't execute the Load Preload operation if memory
protect is turned on. Turn off memory protect before you
