this case, set Foot Switch Assign to Foot SW (CC#82),
and Foot Pedal Assign to Foot Pedal (CC#04).
Changing Programs and Combinations with the

Program Up will cause the next higher program
number to be selected each time you press the foot
switch.
Program Down will cause the next lower program
number to be selected each time you press the foot
switch.
2. Set the "Foot Switch Polarity" to the polarity of the
foot switch you have connected.

Creating user scales

Creating an original scale, and assigning
it to a Program
On the User Scale page, you can create your own
original scales. These include sixteen different User
Octave Scales, in which the pitch of each note of the
octave is repeated for all octaves, and one User All
Note Scale, in which the pitch of each of the 128 notes
can be specified independently.
By adjusting the pitch of each key in the range of ±99
cents, you can raise or lower it by approximately one
semitone relative to the normal pitch.
The user scales you create here can be used by
specifying the scale for a program, for each timbre of a
combination, or for each track of a song.

If you have connected a Korg PS‐1 pedal switch, set
this to (–) Korg Standard. If the polarity is not set
correctly, the pedal will not function appropriately.
3. Either press the PROG switch to enter Program P0:
Play, or press the COMBI switch to enter
Combination P0: Play.
When you press the foot switch, the program/
combination will change.
KARMA, Pad, Vector
You can assign control change messages to the
KARMA switches and sliders, and to the vector
joystick X‐axis and Y‐axis.
You can also assign either control change messages or
note numbers to pads 1–8. For more details on pads
and MIDI, see "Playing the pads from MIDI or the
keyboard" on page 35 and "2–1c: MIDI CC# Assign —
Vector Joystick / Pads" on page 782 of the Parameter
Guide.
The default settings should work well in most cases. To
restore the default settings, use the Reset Controller
MIDI Assign page menu command and choose
Default Setting.
You can choose these scales from the following pages.
Mode
Program P1– Program Basic: Scale
Combination P2– Pitch: Scale, Use Program's Scale
Sequencer P2– Pitch: Scale, Use Program's Scale
Here is how to set the scale type for each timbre in
Sequencer mode.
1. Create a user octave scale or a user all notes scale.
Select a key, and use the VALUE controllers to adjust
the pitch. The range of ±99 raises or lowers the pitch
approximately one semitone above or below the
standard pitch.
Note: You can also select a key by holding down the
ENTER switch and playing the desired note on the
keyboard.
Note: You can copy one of the preset scales and edit it
to create an original scale. To do so, use the page menu
command Copy Scale.
2. Press the SEQ button to enter Sequencer mode.
3. Press the Track Parameter tab and then the Pitch
tab to go to the P2: Track Parameters – Pitch page.
4. If you want the Track to use the scale saved with
its individual Program, check the track's "Use
Program's Scale" check box.
Tracks that are not checked will use the scale specified
by Scale "Type (Song's Scale)."
5. Set "Type (Song's Scale)" to select the scale for the
currently selected song.
