KingKORG Parameter Guide
Using the KingKORG as a multi-timbral sound module
You can specify a different MIDI channel for each of the KingKORG's two
timbres and use it as a multi-timbral sound module from a connected external
MIDI sequencer.
1.
Press the PROGRAM (GLOBAL) button to make the PROGRAM
(GLOBAL) button light up.
2.
Use the PAGE+/– buttons to access the PROGRAM "p03: Common"
page.
3.
Turn the VALUE dial to set VoiceMode to "Layer" or "Split".
TIP: If you choose "Layer" or "Split," you'll be able to use the KingKORG as a multi-tim-
bral sound module, and the settings of the "p04: Common" page will be available.
4.
Use the PAGE+/– buttons to access the "p04: Common" page.
5.
Turn the VALUE dial to set the MIDI channel of timbre B.
The MIDI channel of timbre A is specified by the GLOBAL "g16: MIDI
Basic" page Global Ch parameter
6.
Set the MIDI channel of the connected external MIDI device.
MIDI "LOCAL" setting when connecting an external
MIDI sequencer or computer
If notes are sounding doubled when the KingKORG is connected to an external
MIDI sequencer or computer, turn the Local setting off (MIDI page "LOCAL"
OFF). If the KingKORG is connected to an external MIDI sequencer or computer,
and the Echo Back setting of the external MIDI sequencer or computer is turned
on while the KingKORG's Local Control setting is also on, the performance data
that's generated when you play the KingKORG's keyboard will be sent to the
external MIDI sequencer, and will also be echoed-back to sound the KingKORG's
tone generator a second time. To prevent each note from being sounded twice,
once directly from the keyboard and once from the echoed-back note, you must
turn the KingKORG's Local Control setting off. To make this setting, go to the
GLOBAL "g17: MIDI Basic" page and turn LocalControl
GLOBAL Position setting
The GLOBAL Position setting (→ p.16)
Transpose, Velocity Curve, and the arpeggiator will be applied to MIDI IN and
MIDI OUT.
• If you want to control an external MIDI sound module from the KingKORG, set
Position to "PostKBD" so that these settings will be applied to MIDI OUT. The MIDI
IN data will always be treated as "Transpose": 0 and "Vel.Curve": 4, regardless of the
settings.
• If you want to control the KingKORG's sound generator and arpeggiator from an
external MIDI device, set Position to "PreTG" so that these settings will be applied
to MIDI IN. The MIDI OUT data will always be treated as "Transpose": 0 and "Vel.
Curve": 4 regardless of the settings.
"MIDI FILTER" settings
The MIDI FLT page setting specifies whether program change, pitch bend,
control change, and system exclusive messages will be transmitted or
received.
Make these settings in the GLOBAL "g23–27: MIDI Filter" pages
Virtual patch modulation source settings
You can assign three different MIDI control messages (MIDI 1, 2, 3) as virtual
patch modulation sources.
You can create assignments on the GLOBAL "g20–22: MIDI Ctrl" pages
(→ p.19), and choose MIDI1 or MIDI2 as the source of a virtual patch
(V.Patch1–6) so that you can control modulation via MIDI.
"CONTROL CHANGE" settings
You can assign control change numbers to the principal sound-shaping
parameters and control those parameters from an external MIDI device instead
of using the KingKORG's knobs and buttons. Or conversely, you can use the
KingKORG's knobs and buttons to control an external MIDI device. These
settings can be adjusted on the GLOBAL "g28: MIDI CC#Map" pages
(→ p.19).

Recording the MIDI output from the KingKORG's
arpeggiator onto an external MIDI sequencer or
computer
Connections and setting
Connect the KingKORG's MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector of
your external MIDI sequencer / computer, and connect the KingKORG's MIDI
IN connector to the MIDI OUT connector of your external MIDI sequencer /
computer.
Then turn the KingKORG's local control off (GLOBAL "g17: MIDI Basic" page
LocalControl (→ p.18) turned "Off"), and turn on the echo back function of
your external MIDI sequencer or computer.
Recording the note data from the arpeggiator onto an external
MIDI sequencer / computer
Set the KingKORG's GLOBAL "g03: Common" page Position setting
to "PostKBD". Turn the KingKORG's arpeggiator on (ARP (TEMPO) button lit),
and play the keyboard to record your performance into your external MIDI
sequencer or computer.
For playback, turn the KingKORG's arpeggiator off (ARP (TEMPO) button
unlit).
Synchronizing the arpeggiator
To set the KingKORG's arpeggiator as master (the device that controls) or as
slave (the device that is controlled), change the GLOBAL "g19: MIDI Basic"
page Clock parameter (→
TIP: For information on synchronization-related settings of your external MIDI device, refer to
the manual of your device.
Using the KingKORG as master and the external MIDI device as
slave
Connect the KingKORG's MIDI OUT connector to your external MIDI device's
MIDI IN connector.
In the GLOBAL "g19: MIDI Basic" page, turn the VALUE dial to set Clock
(→ p.18) to "Int (Internal)" so that the KingKORG will be the master and will
transmit MIDI timing clock data.
Set your external MIDI device to receive incoming MIDI clock messages.
The external MIDI device (sequencer or rhythm machine) will function
according to the tempo that's specified by the PROGRAM "a02: Arp" page
Tempo setting (→ p.14).
Using the external MIDI device as master and the KingKORG as
slave
Connect the KingKORG's MIDI IN connector to your external MIDI device's
MIDI OUT connector.
In the GLOBAL "g19: MIDI Basic" page, turn the VALUE dial to change the
Clock setting (→ p.18) to "Ext MIDI (External MIDI)" so that the KingKORG
will be the slave and will receive MIDI timing clock data.
Set your external MIDI device to transmit MIDI clock messages (as the master
device). The KingKORG's arpeggiator will function at the tempo of the external
device (e.g., sequencer or rhythm machine).
TIP: If the GLOBAL "g19: MIDI Basic" page Clock parameter
the KingKORG will automatically function as with the "Ext MIDI (External MIDI)" setting
if MIDI clock data from an external MIDI device connected to the KingKORG's MIDI IN
connector is being received. At other times, the KingKORG will function with the "Int
Internal" setting.
TIP: If the KingKORG receives a MIDI Start message [FA] when it is synchronized to the
MIDI clock of an external MIDI device, the arpeggiator will be reset. Also, the phase of
the LFO will be reset if KeySync is "OFF".
