KingKORG NEO Parameter Guide
Using the KingKORG NEO as a multi-timbral sound module
You can specify a different MIDI channel for each of the KingKORG NEO'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 NEO as a
multi-timbral 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 "g15: 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 twice when the KingKORG NEO is connected to an
external MIDI sequencer or computer, turn the Local setting off (MIDI page
"LOCAL" OFF). If the KingKORG NEO 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 NEO's Local Control
setting is also on, the performance data that's generated when you play the
KingKORG NEO's keyboard will be sent to the external MIDI sequencer, and will
also be echoed-back to sound the KingKORG NEO'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 NEO's Local Control setting off. To make this setting, go to the
GLOBAL "g16: 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 NEO,
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 NEO'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 "g22–26: 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 "g19–21: 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 NEO's knobs and buttons. Conversely, you can use
the KingKORG NEO's knobs and buttons to control an external MIDI device.
These settings can be adjusted on the GLOBAL "g27: MIDI CC#Map" pages

Recording the MIDI output from the KingKORG NEO's
arpeggiator onto an external MIDI sequencer or computer
Connections and setting
Connect the KingKORG NEO's MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector
of your external MIDI sequencer / computer, and connect the
KingKORG NEO's MIDI IN connector to the MIDI OUT connector of your
external MIDI sequencer / computer.
Then turn the KingKORG NEO's local control off (GLOBAL "g16: MIDI Basic"
page LocalControl
(→ p.19)
function of your external MIDI sequencer or computer.
Recording the note data from the arpeggiator onto an external
MIDI sequencer / computer
Set the KingKORG NEO's GLOBAL "g03: Common" page Position setting
p.16)
to "PostKBD". Turn the KingKORG NEO'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 NEO's arpeggiator off (ARP (TEMPO) button
unlit).
Synchronizing the arpeggiator
To set the KingKORG NEO's arpeggiator as master (the device that controls)
or as slave (the device that is controlled), change the GLOBAL "g18: 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 NEO as master and the external MIDI device
as slave
Connect the KingKORG NEO's MIDI OUT connector to your external MIDI
device's MIDI IN connector.
In the GLOBAL "g18: MIDI Basic" page, turn the VALUE dial to set Clock
(→ p.19)
to "Int (Internal)" so that the KingKORG NEO 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.15).
Using the external MIDI device as master and the
KingKORG NEO as slave
Connect the KingKORG NEO's MIDI IN connector to your external MIDI
device's MIDI OUT connector.
In the GLOBAL "g18: MIDI Basic" page, turn the VALUE dial to change the
Clock setting
(→ p.19)
to "Ext MIDI (External MIDI)" so that the
KingKORG NEO 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 NEO's arpeggiator will function at the tempo of the
external device (e.g., sequencer or rhythm machine).
TIP:
If the GLOBAL "g18: MIDI Basic" page Clock parameter
KingKORG NEO will automatically function as with the "Ext MIDI (External MIDI)" setting
if MIDI clock data from an external MIDI device connected to the KingKORG NEO's
MIDI IN connector is being received. At other times, the KingKORG NEO will function
with the "Int Internal" setting.
TIP:
If the KingKORG NEO 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".
