Clock Source
This parameter selects the MIDI Clock source for the Style Play
and Sequencer modes.
Note: In Song Play mode, the Internal clock is always used.
Note: This parameter is always set to "Internal" each time you
turn the instrument on.
Internal Internal, i.e. the clock generated by the Pa600
Arranger and Player internal metronome.
External MIDI External from the MIDI IN port. In Style Play or
Sequencer mode, the Pa600 is slaved to an exter-
nal device connected to its MIDI IN port. The
Start/Stop and Play/Stop commands, as well as
the metronome tempo, cannot be selected from
the control panel of the Pa600. Use the external
device to set the tempo and start or stop the
sequencer or arranger.
External USB As the above, but referred to the USB Device port.
See "Installing the Korg USB MIDI Driver" on
page 314 for information on how to configure your
computer for MIDI Over USB communication.
Local Control On
The Local parameter turns the keyboard on or off.
Note: This parameter is automatically set to On each time you
turn the instrument on.
On When you play the keyboard, MIDI data is sent
to the internal sound generator. If tracks are
assigned to a MIDI OUT channel, data is also
sent to the MIDI OUT or USB Device port.
Off The keyboard is connected to the MIDI OUT or
USB Device port, but cannot play the internal
sound generator.
This is very useful when working with an exter-
nal sequencer, to send notes and various MIDI
messages from the integrated keyboard and con-
trollers to the external sequencer, and then let the
sequencer send them back to the sound genera-
tor, without overlapping. See the MIDI chapter.
Note to RX Noise
RX Noises are special sounds that allow Sounds to be more real-
istic. They are usually located above C7, depending on the
Sound.
When this parameter is turned on, notes received from MIDI, or
performed by the internal Player, in the RX Noises range, are
recognized and converted to RX Noises. When off, notes are not
recognized.
Note: This parameter is automatically turned on when turning the
instrument on again.
MIDI: MIDI In Controls
This page lets you program parameters for the MIDI IN and
USB Device port, like the Chord Recognition channel. All these
parameters can be saved into a MIDI Preset.

Midi In Octave Transpose
Use this parameter to determine if notes received on the MIDI
IN or USB Device ports have to be transposed.
On Notes received on the MIDI IN or USB Device
port are transposed according to the Octave
Transpose setting for each track.
Off Data received on the MIDI IN or USB Device
port are not transposed.
Track Mute Active
Use this parameter to determine if data received on the MIDI IN
or USB Device port can be played by muted tracks.
On No data received on the MIDI IN or USB Device
port can play on a muted track.
Off Data received on the MIDI IN or USB Device
port can play on a muted track.
Chord 1 Midi Channel
Chord 2 Midi Channel
Notes entering these channels on the MIDI IN or USB Device
port, are sent to the Arranger.
There are two separate Chord channels. This is very useful when
you have to send chords to Pa600 over two different channels
(something very common on MIDI accordions).
Off Data received on the MIDI IN or USB Device
port are not sent to the Arranger.
1...16 Data received on these channels via the MIDI IN
or USB Device port are sent to the Arranger.
Upper Octave Transp (Transpose)
Octave transposition of data received on the MIDI IN or USB
Device port for the Upper tracks. For example, if you select the
+1 value, a C4 received via MIDI will play a C5 on the Pa600.
This parameter may be useful to many MIDI accordion players,
whose MIDI interface may transmit on an unexpected octave.
-2...+2 Octave transpose value.
