Setup Karma External Midi Routing - Korg KRONOS SGX-2 Parameter Manual

will have less than the required time to write the data into
memory, and will be unable to receive all of the data
correctly.
Receiving SysEx data dumps
1. Connect the KRONOS to the device which will send
the data dump.
If you are using a computer, connect the USB B port of
the KRONOS to one of the computer's USB ports.
If you are using a MIDI data filer, connect the data filer's
MIDI OUT to the KRONOS's MIDI IN.
2. Set the KRONOS's global MIDI channel to match the
channel used for the data dump.
When the KRONOS sends a SysEx dump, the current
global MIDI channel is embedded in the data. In order to
receive the data, the KRONOS's global MIDI channel
must be set so that it was the same as when the data was
transmitted.
3. Turn on the "Enable Exclusive" check-box in the
MIDI Filter section of the Global P1: MIDI page.
4. Transmit the data from the other device. For the
procedure, refer to the owner's manual for the device
you are using.
While the data is being received, the display will show
the message "Now receiving MIDI data."
Do not touch the KRONOS's switches or turn off the
power while data is being received.
Before receiving MIDI data, we recommend that you
close any open dialog box or menu, with the exception of
the Disk page menu command Save Exclusive (Receive
and Save MIDI System Exclusive Data) dialog box.
After a data dump is received, the KRONOS will require
approximately one second to process the data and write it
into memory. During this time, the display will show the
message, "Now writing into internal memory." While this
message is shown, you must under no circumstances turn
off the power of the KRONOS. If the power is turned off
during this time, the KRONOS may fail to operate
correctly when the power is turned on again.
Transmission and reception of MIDI data is also
impossible during this time. When receiving multiple
data dumps in succession, you must allow enough time
between each data dump for the message to disappear
from the screen.
MIDI cannot be transmitted or received while data is
being written into internal memory. Also, transmission of
Active Sensing (FEh) from the MIDI OUT connector and
USB connector will be halted.
Cautions when receiving Program data
• When receiving a data dump for a bank or a single
program, and the bank type of the received program is
different, the message "Program Bank Type Conflicts"
will appear, and the data will not be received. To resolve
this, use the Global menu command Set Program Bank
Type to specify the appropriate bank, and then send the
data again. (See "Set Program Bank Type" on page 816.)
• When receiving an All Programs data dump, only bank
data whose bank type matches will be received. If banks
of a different bank type are received, the message
"Program Bank Type Conflicts" will be displayed.
Global: Page Menu Commands Setup KARMA External MIDI Routing

Setup KARMA External MIDI Routing

Several parameters in Global mode, including Enable
KARMA Module to MIDI Out, Enable MIDI In to
KARMA Module, and Local Control On, interact to
control the way that KARMA works in conjunction with
external sequencers and MIDI devices. For more
information, see "KARMA External Routing" on page 785.
This menu command sets up these three parameters at once,
configuring them for specific applications as described
below.
1. Choose "Setup KARMA External MIDI Routing" to
open the dialog box.
2. Select the desired routing.
Send the output of KARMA to external
device/sequencer: Choose this if you want the phrases
generated by KARMA to be sent via MIDI out, to control
your external MIDI device or to be recorded on your
external MIDI sequencer.
Trigger KARMA generation from external
device/sequencer: Choose this if you want the KARMA
Module to be triggered by MIDI input from an external
MIDI device or MIDI sequencer.
This setting also lets you use an external sequencer to
record only the notes you physically play on the
KRONOS keyboard (and not KARMA's generated
events), and then play them back to trigger KARMA in
real-time.
