MIDI: General Controls
This page allows you to select a MIDI Preset and set global
parameters for the MIDI communication.
MIDI Preset
Preset
MIDI channels can be automatically configured by selecting a
MIDI Preset. Each of them lets you automatically assign a value
to various MIDI parameters, to allow an easier connection with
a particular device.
For detailed information about the preloaded MIDI Presets, see
"MIDI Presets" on page 361.
After selecting a MIDI Preset, you can apply any changes to each
channel's settings. To store the changes in memory, select the
"Write Midi Preset" command in the page menu to save it to
memory (see "Write Midi Preset dialog box" on page 163).
Hint: You can restore the original MIDI Presets by using the "Fac-
tory Restore" command and choosing the "Global" option (page
"Utility" of the Media mode, see page 179). Please consider this
will reset all the Global data.
General Controls
Use these parameters to set MIDI Clock and Local Off.
Clock Send
Use this parameter to turn the clock information on the USB
Device port on or off.
Note: This parameter is automatically set to On when the instru-
ment enters standby.
Off The Pa300 does not send the MIDI Clock signal.
You cannot slave another instrument to the
Pa300, even when connected to the USB Device
port.
On The Pa300 sends the MIDI Clock signal. You can
slave another instrument to the Pa300 Tempo and
Start/Stop commands. Connect the other instru-
ment to the Pa300 USB Device port.
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" when the instru-
ment enters standby.
Internal Internal, i.e. the clock generated by the Pa300
Arranger and Player internal metronome.
External USB External from the USB Device port. In Style Play
or Sequencer mode, the Pa300 is slaved to an
external device connected to its USB Device port.
The Start/Stop command, as well as the metro-
nome tempo, cannot be selected from the control
panel of the Pa300. Use the external device to set
the tempo and start or stop the sequencer or
arranger.
See "Installing the Korg USB MIDI Driver" on
page 362 for information on how to configure
your computer for MIDI Over USB communica-
tion.
Local Control On
The Local parameter turns the keyboard on or off.
Note: This parameter is automatically set to On when the instru-
ment enters standby.
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 USB Device port.
Off The keyboard is connected to the USB Device
port, but cannot play the internal sound genera-
tor.
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 the USB
Device port, 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 the instru-
ment is set to standby.
