Playing and editing Programs
2. Press the
(Favorite) to the left of the Tempo
parameter. The
box is "checked")
3. Write the Program.
This is an important step. If you don't write the Program,
the change to the Favorites check-box won't be retained.
For details on how to write Programs, see "Saving your
edits" on page 34.
Using a footswitch to select Programs
You can assign a footswitch to step through Programs one
by one, either going up (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.) or going down (3, 2,
1 etc.). This lets you change Programs without using your
hands–great for quick Program changes in live performance
situations.
There are two ways of doing this: by assigning the
footswitch to Program Up/Down, or to Value +/−. Program
Up/Down is recommended for normal use, while Value +/−
is a special-purpose setting, as described below.
Note: These settings apply to Set Lists and Combinations, as
well.
Assigning the footswitch to Program Up/Down
Assigning the footswitch to Program Up or Program Down
lets you directly control Program changes from the
footswitch.
To set this up:
1. Connect a foot switch to the rear-panel
ASSIGNABLE SWITCH input.
Use a simple on/off footswitch, such as the optional Korg
PS-1.
2. Press the MODE button to select GLOBAL mode.
3. Go to the GLOBAL > Controllers/Scales– Controllers
page.
4. Set the Foot Switch Polarity parameter to match the
connected switch.
5. At the top of the page, set the Foot Switch Assign
parameter to Program Up (or Program Down).
For this setting to persist after power-down, you need to
write the Global settings.
6. Open the menu, and select the Write Global Setting
command.
The Write Global Setting dialog will appear.
7. Press the MODE button to select PROGRAM mode.
The Home page will be displayed, and you can step
through the programs one at a time with the foot
switch.
Note: This setting applies to selecting Combinations, as
well.
Assigning the footswitch to Value +/−
This lets you use the Assignable Foot Switch to duplicate the
functions of the front-panel + or − button.
This is a special-case setting, but it may be convenient if you
like to keep the Bank or Category select windows open as
you play, so that you can see the list of available Programs or
Combinations. While the window is open, the Program
Up/Down assignments still change sounds as usual, but the
window does not update to show the currently selected
28
turns green. (this shows that the
sound. However, assigning the Foot Switch to the + or −
button lets you step through the items in the list, one by
one—just like pressing the front-panel buttons.
To set this up:
1. Follow steps 1-4 under "Assigning the footswitch to
Program Up/Down," above.
2. At the top of the page, set the Foot Switch Assign
parameter to Value + (or Value −).
For this setting to persist after power-down, you need to
write the Global settings.
3. Open the menu, and select the Write Global Setting
command.
The Write Global Setting dialog will appear.
4. Press OK, and then OK again to confirm.
Now, the foot switch will act just like pressing the front-
panel + or − button.
Note: The footswitch will work like this for the entire
NAUTILUS–not just when the Program or Combination
Select window is open.
Assigning incoming MIDI CCs to Program
Up/Down or Value +/−
In addition to using the built-in footswitch input, you can
also map incoming MIDI CCs to Program Up/Down or
Value +/−. This allows you to assign multiple switches to the
different functions—for instance, one for Program Up and a
second for Program Down—using an external MIDI or USB
MIDI foot controller. For more information, see "5–3:
Function Assign" on page 678 of the PG.
Selecting Programs via MIDI
You can select any Program from any bank by using MIDI
Program Change messages in conjunction with MIDI Bank
Select messages. When you select Programs from the front
panel, the appropriate MIDI messages are sent automatically
(unless MIDI filters are active; see below).
If you are entering the MIDI messages manually into a
sequencer, note that the Bank Select message needs to come
before the Program Select message.
In PROGRAM mode, use the Global MIDI Channel
With the exception of the Drum Track, all transmission and
reception of MIDI data in PROGRAM mode is performed
on the Global MIDI Channel. You can set this on the
GLOBAL > MIDI page.
Bank Map
Bank Select messages can work in one of two ways, as
controlled by the Bank Map parameter on the GLOBAL >
Basic Setup– Basic page. The factory default setting will
work for most standard applications, and most people will
never need to change it. If you use General MIDI sequences,
the alternative GM(2) setting may be helpful. For more
information, see "Bank Map" on page 633 of the PG.
MIDI filters
You can use MIDI filters to control whether or not Program
Change and Bank Select messages will be transmitted and/or
received. The filters are set up on the GLOBAL > MIDI-
MIDI page. For more information, see "1–1c: MIDI Filter"
on page 655 of the PG.
