Editing Parameters; Midi Settings - Korg microSTATION Operation Manual

1. Set the velocity zones of the two timbres so that
they partially overlap.
2. Set the "Top Slope" and "Btm Slope" so that the
sound changes gradually, rather than abruptly
switching between velocity values 63 and 64.
Editing parameters
Adjusting the volume of each timbre
The COMBI EDIT: Timbres ‐ Timbre 01–Timbre 16
"Volume" settings adjust the volume of each timbre.
Use function buttons 01–16 to switch between timbres.
Adjusting the pan of each timbre
The COMBI EDIT: Timbres ‐ Timbre 01–Timbre 16
"Pan" settings adjust the pan of each timbre.
The timbre's pan setting works in conjunction with the
pan setting of the program. If the timbre pan setting is
C064, the pan will be the same as specified by the
program setting. Adjusting the timbre pan will shift
the sound toward the left or right while maintaining
the pan settings of each oscillator. A setting of L001 is
far left, and a setting of R127 is far right.
Switching the play/mute status of each
timbre
If you press the front panel PLAY/MUTE button to
turn it on (the LED at the upper left of the button will
light‐up), you can use function buttons 01–16 to turn
each timbre on/off. By switching each timbre on/off,
you can hear its sound and check its settings.
MIDI settings
Status
Here you can specify the MIDI and internal sound
generator status for each timbre. Choose INT if you
want the timbre to play the internal sound generator.
Choose Off for timbres you're not using. Timbres that
are set to Off, EXT, or EX2 will not sound. Choosing
the EXT or EX2 setting lets that timbre control a MIDI‐
connected external sound module.
For more about this setting, refer to "Status"
(PG p. 20).
Easy combination editing Editing parameters
MIDI channel
Use COMBI EDIT: Timbres ‐ Timbre 01–Timbre 16
"MIDI Ch." to specify the MIDI channel for each
timbre.
If you want to play a timbre from the microSTATION's
keyboard, you'll need to set that timbre to the global
MIDI channel (Gch). When you play the
microSTATION's keyboard, you'll hear the timbres
that are set to match this MIDI channel. Normally
you'll set this to Gch. If this is set to Gch, the MIDI
channel of the timbre will always match the global
MIDI channel even if you change the global MIDI
channel.
In the preload combinations, timbres where the
arpeggiator is assigned might have a MIDI channel
setting other than Gch. Those timbres will sound
only when the arpeggiator is on. (This is a useful
technique when creating a combination that uses
an arpeggiator.)
For details, refer to PG p. 23 "Arpeggiator settings
in Combination and Sequencer modes". Please
take special note of how the arpeggiator A/B
assignments, status, and MIDI channel settings are
related.
MIDI filter settings
COMBI EDIT: Timbres ‐ Timbre 01–Timbre 16 MIDI
Filter lets you adjust MIDI filter settings for each
timbre.
Each MIDI filter item specifies whether the
corresponding MIDI message will be transmitted and
received. The message will be transmitted and
received if the setting is On.
The MIDI filter setting is not an on/off switch for the
function itself. It merely controls whether MIDI
messages are transmitted and received.
For example, suppose you're creating a bass/piano
split, and you've assigned a bass program to timbre 1
and a piano program to timbre 2. If you use the
settings that are described below, the damper pedal
will apply only to the piano sound played by timbre 2.
1. Access COMBI EDIT: Timbres ‐ Timbre 01, MIDI
Filter "Damper."
2. Turn the timbre 1 "Damper" setting Off.
3. Press the function 02 button to switch to timbre 2.
4. Turn the timbre 2 "Damper" setting On.
