• Arpeggiator on/off
• Switch the Drum Track on/off
• Use various KROME controls (realtime control
knobs, joystick, SW1/SW2, etc.)
This button will always function in the same way
regardless of the Program, Combination, or Song
you've selected. You can assign the function in the
Global mode.
Using a foot switch to select Programs
You can select programs by using a foot switch
connected to the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack. By
assigning the appropriate function, you can increment
or decrement the program number in steps of one.
This lets you change Programs without using your
hands–great for quick Program changes in live
performance situations.
There are two ways of doing this: by assigning the foot
switch to Program Up/Down, or to Value Inc/Dec. Each
of these is suited to a particular application, as
described below.
• Prog Up/Down: When performing in the normal P0
screen
• VALUE Inc/Dec: When performing while a list such
as the Category/Program Select menu is open
Assigning the foot switch to Program Up/Down
Assigning the foot switch to Program Up or Program
Down lets you directly control Program changes from
the foot switch. For most situations, this is the more
straightforward method.
To set this up:
1. Connect a foot switch to the rear‐panel
ASSIGNABLE SWITCH input.
Use an optional PS‐1 pedal switch.
2. Access the Global P2: Controllers– Foot
Controllers page.
Proceed as follows.
Press the GLOBAL button to enter Global mode.
Press the PAGE button to access the GLOBAL Page
Select. Press P2 Controllers, then press the Foot
Control tab in the display.
3. Set "Foot Switch Assign" to either Program Up or
Program Down.
If you choose Program Up, the next program number
up will be selected each time you press the foot switch.
If you choose Program Down, the next program
number down will be selected each time you press the
foot switch.
Connections Connecting a damper pedal, foot switch, or foot pedal
4. Set the "Foot Switch Polarity" to match the
polarity of the pedal you've connected.
If you've connected the optional PS‐1 or PS‐3 pedal,
choose (–) KORG Standard.
Now, the foot switch will step through the Programs,
one by one.
5. If you want to preserve this setting even when the
power is turned off, be sure to Write the data. (See
page 116)
6. Press the PROG button to enter Prog P0: Play, and
press the foot switch to change the Program.
Note: This setting applies to selecting Combinations, as well.
Note: With the Program Up/Down method, you won't
be able to select programs while the Bank/Program
Select or Category/Program Select menus are open.
Use the "Assigning the foot switch to Value Inc/Dec"
method described below.
Assigning the foot switch to Value Inc/Dec
This lets you use the Assignable Foot Switch to duplicate
the functions of the front‐panel INC or DEC buttons.
This method is convenient if you want to open the
Bank/Program Select menu or the Category/Program
Select menu and switch programs while viewing the
program or combination menu.
1. Follow steps 1–2 under "Assigning the foot switch
to Program Up/Down," above.
2. At the top of the page, set the Foot Switch Assign
parameter to Value Inc (or Value Dec).
3. Now, the foot switch will act just like you're
pressing the front‐panel INC or DEC buttons.
Note: The foot switch will work like this for the entire
KROME–not just when the Bank/Program select menu
or Category/Program Select menu is open.
Connecting a foot pedal
If you connect an optional EXP‐2 foot controller or
XVP‐10 expression/volume pedal to the ASSIGNABLE
PEDAL jack, you can use it to apply modulation to
sounds or effects, or to adjust the overall volume.
This pedal will always function in the same way
regardless of the Program, Combination, or Song
you've selected. You can assign the function in the
Global mode.
Like the Assignable Foot Switch, described above, the
Foot Pedal can be used for many different functions,
including:
• Master Volume
• Channel Volume, Pan, or Expression
• Assignable sound modulation, as several different
AMS or Dmod sources
• Effects Send level control
• Use various KROME controls (realtime control
knobs, Joystick, SW1/SW2, etc.)
1. Connect an optional XVP‐10 or EXP‐2 to the
ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jacks.
2. After turning the power on, use Global P2:
Controllers– Foot Controllers page "Foot Pedal
Assign" to assign the function controlled by the
foot pedal. (See page 111, and pages 202, 350 of the
Parameter Guide)
