0-9: Control Surface - Korg KRONOS SGX-2 Parameter Manual

Program mode: EXi
0–9: Control Surface
The Control Surface is the set of 9 sliders, 8 knobs, and 16
switches to the left of the LCD display. It looks like a mixer,
but it can do other things as well, including editing sounds,
controlling KARMA, and sending MIDI messages to
external devices.
This page shows you the current values for each of the
sliders, knobs, and buttons, along with information about
what they are controlling. For instance, you can:
• Adjust the volume and pan for EXi instruments 1 and 2
• Control the Program's EQ settings and Master Effects
Send levels
• Modulate sounds and effects using the Real Time Knobs
• Control KARMA, and select KARMA scenes, using the
sliders and switches
• Edit sounds using Tone Adjust
• Assign sliders, knobs, and switches to different Tone
Adjust parameters
Other than the exceptions noted below, it works almost
exactly like the similar page for HD-1 Programs, substituting
EXi 1/2 for OSC 1/2. For more information, see "0–9:
Control Surface" on page 26.
0-9e: RT/KARMA (Real Time
Knobs/KARMA)
Realtime Knobs 1-4 have dedicated functions: Cutoff,
Resonance, Filter EG Intensity, and Filter Release. EXi
instruments will support these functions as much as possible,
depending upon their architecture.
For instance, the AL-1 and STR-1 support all of these
controls. The CX-3, on the other hand, has no filters or EGs,
and so it does not support them at all. For details on other
EXi, please see their documentation.
0-9f: Tone Adjust
The first group of Tone Adjust parameters are the Common
set, which affect both EXi 1 and EXi 2 at the same time. This
is convenient for making quick edits to the entire sound; for
instance, you can use Filter Cutoff to make both EXi 1 and
EXi 2 darker or brighter, or Filter/Amp EG Release Time to
make their overall release times longer or shorter. For more
details, and a complete list of the parameters, please see
"Common Tone Adjust Parameters" on page 37.
Some EXi instruments may not support all of the Common
Tone Adjust parameters. For details, please see the
individual EXi manuals.
After the Common parameters, the items in the list will vary
depending on the EXi being used. These EXi-specific
parameters allow you to control settings unique to a given
EXi, such as Oscillator 1 Morph in the AL-1, or Waveshaper
Table selection in the MOD-7. For more information, please
see:
"AL-1: Tone Adjust," on page 228.
"CX-3: Tone Adjust," on page 251.
"STR-1: Tone Adjust," on page 300.
"MS-20EX: Tone Adjust," on page 327.

"PolysixEX: Tone Adjust," on page 342.
"MOD-7: Tone Adjust" on page 393.
"SGX-2: Tone adjust" on page 404
"EP-1: Tone Adjust" on page 423
For these non-Common parameters, you have independent
controls for both EXi 1 and EXi 2–even if they both use the
same EXi. For instance, if both EXi are set to use the AL-1,
they can still have separate Tone Adjust settings for their
LFOs, oscillators, and so on.
