KingKORG Parameter Guide
Control with other than pitch bend messages
You can use control change messages to control aspects of the sound such as
volume and tone. When you move the joystick upward or downward, use a
pedal or foot switch, or use the front panel knobs or buttons to edit a
parameter, the KingKORG will transmit control change messages. When the
KingKORG receives control change messages, it will apply the effects that are
assigned to those control change numbers.
Control changes [Bn, cc, vv]
(n: channel, cc: control change no., vv: value)
TIP: You can adjust settings so that control change messages are not transmitted or re-
ceived. To do this, set the GLOBAL "g25: MIDI Filter" page CtrlChg parameter
to "Disable".
Using control changes on the KingKORG
There are 128 control changes: CC#0–CC#127. The effect or function of each
control change number is defined by the MIDI specification.
Controlling the sound CC#0–95 and CC#102–119
Editing a value or function CC#96–101
Controlling or initializing the
CC#120–127
sound generator
The KingKORG provides two ways for you to use control change messages
(CC#0–95 and CC#102–119) to modify the sound.
Assign a message to a knob or button
You can assign a control change to a front panel knob or button (or parameter),
or assign a control change to a built-in controller or optional controller.
This is a convenient way to control the KingKORG's knobs and buttons from
an external device, or to control a desired parameter from an external device.
TIP: To create these assignments, use the CC#Map
Assign a message to a virtual patch
If you want incoming control change messages to control multiple parameters
simultaneously, use the program's virtual patch function
Since there are six routes by which a signal can control a parameter, you can
assign a MIDI message as an input signal so that one control change will
control up to six parameters simultaneously.
TIP: Use the GLOBAL "g20–22: MIDI Ctrl" page MIDI1, MIDI2, and MIDI3 settings
to specify beforehand the type of MIDI message that you want to use as the input for the
virtual patch.
Frequently used control changes
Of the control change messages that are supported by the KingKORG, here
are some of the most frequently used.
The functions described here are the factory settings.
Adjusting the volume
CC#07: Volume [Bn, 07, vv]
(Default: AMP LEVEL knob)
This controls the amp level.
This is assigned to the front panel Amp Level knob. It will be transmitted when
you use the Amp Level knob. When this message is received, the PROGRAM
"s39: Amp" page Level parameter (→ p.10)
simultaneously according to the value of the incoming message.
CC#11: Expression [Bn, 0B, vv]
(Default: Foot pedal)
This adjusts the volume of the timbre.
This allows you to adjust the volume while continuing to sustain the sound. If
you want to expressively vary the volume while you perform, assign this
expression message to a foot pedal or similar controller.

for timbres A and B will change
Controlling modulation
CC#01: Pitch modulation depth [Bn, 01, vv]
(Default: Joystick +Y)
This controls the amount of pitch modulation.
This message is transmitted when you move the joystick away from yourself. A
value of "0" is transmitted when you release your hand from the joystick.
When this message is received, the depth of vibrato produced by LFO2 will
change according to the setting of the PROGRAM "s08: Pitch" page
LFO2&JS+Y parameter (→
If this message is received with a value of "0" there will be no vibrato effect.
CC#02: Filter modulation depth [Bn, 02, vv]
(Default: Joystick –Y)
This controls the amount of filter cutoff modulation.
This message is transmitted when you move the joystick toward yourself. A
value of "0" is transmitted when you release your hand from the joystick.
When this message is received, the depth of filter cutoff modulation that's
produced by LFO1 will change according to the setting of the PROGRAM "s36:
Filter" page LFO1&JS-Y parameter
If this message is received with a value of "0" the effect will disappear.
Controlling pan (stereo position)
CC#10: Panpot [Bn, 0A, vv]
(Default: Unassigned)
This controls the stereo position of the sound.
When this message is received, the pan position will change in the range of
left-center-right according to the received value of "0" – "64" – "127".
Controlling time-varying change
CC#64: Damper pedal [Bn, 40, vv]
(Default: Damper pedal)
This message controls the damper effect (hold), which allows a note to
continue sounding even after you release your hand from the keyboard.
A value of "on" (127) or "off" (0) is transmitted when you press or release the
damper pedal. When this is received, the damper will turn on or off.
CC#65: Portamento switch [Bn, 41, vv]
(Default: PORTAMENTO button)
CC#05: Portamento time [Bn, 05, vv]
(Default: PORTA.TIME knob)
These messages control the portamento effect which causes the pitch to
change smoothly when you play legato. The portamento switch message turns
the effect on/off, and the portamento time message controls the speed of the
change.
On the KingKORG, using the front panel PORTAMENTO button will transmit a
portamento switch message with a value of "on" (127) or "off" (0). Operating
the PORTA. TIME knob will transmit a portamento time message (0–127).
Controlling or initializing the sound generator
Special control messages are provided for initializing the sound generator.
These messages are for reception only; they cannot be transmitted.
CC#123: All note off [Bn, 7B, 00]
(Default: Unassigned)
CC#120: All sound off [Bn, 78, 00]
(Default: Unassigned)
When the all note off message is received, all notes currently sounding on that
channel will turn off.
Since the notes are turned off in the same way as when you release your hand
from the keyboard, the decay portion of the notes will still be heard.
When the all sound off message is received, all sound being produced on that
channel will turn off. Unlike the all note off message, this forcibly stops all sounds
that are being produced, so the decay portion of the notes will not be heard.
These silencing messages are for use in emergencies. They are not for use
during a performance.
CC#121: Reset all controllers [Bn, 79, 00]
(Default: Unassigned)
When this message is received, the various effects that have been modified by
control changes on that channel and the matching timbres will be reset.
However, parameters that were modified via a virtual patch might not be reset
by this message.
