Midi Connectors - Korg STAGE VINTAGE SV-1 User Manual

16 – Controls and connections | Rear panel
PEDAL 1 is used to connect a footswitch pedal only (like the optional Korg
PS-1), and can operate as a sostenuto pedal, or as a rotary slow/fast switch (when
the rotary effect is selected).
PEDAL 2 is used to connect a volume/expression pedal (like the optional Korg
XVP-10 or EXP-2) or a footswitch pedal (like the optional Korg PS-1). The vol-
ume/expression pedal operates as a volume control (this is the default setting). The
footswitch pedal operates as a soft pedal (this requires calibration, see page 31).
When a volume/expression pedal is connected to this connector, you can also
control the wah effect's filter. To control the wah effect with the volume/expres-
sion pedal, select the wah effect and turn the AUTO/PEDAL LED on in the PRE-
FX section (Pedal mode).
To calibrate the pedals (and set their polarity), see "Calibrating the pedals" on
page 31.

MIDI connectors

By using MIDI you can control the SV-1 from a sequencer, or control an external
MIDI device from the SV-1. When using the SV-1 to control an external MIDI
device, or to record into a sequencer, press the LOCAL OFF button to turn its LED
on; this disconnects the keyboard from the internal sounds (but not from MIDI).
MIDI OUT transmits MIDI data. Use it when you want to control a connected
external MIDI device or computer. Use a standard MIDI cable to connect it to
the MIDI IN connector of the other device.
MIDI IN receives MIDI data. Use it when you want to control the SV-1 from a
connected external MIDI device or computer. Use a standard MIDI cable to con-
nect it to the MIDI OUT connector of the other device.
INPUT jacks (L/MONO, RIGHT)
6
Connect a line-level source, like a keyboard/synthesizer, a CD or MP3 player, to
these jacks.
OUTPUT jacks (L/MONO, R)
7
These are analog output jacks, available either in 1/4" unbalanced jacks, or XLR
balanced jacks. Either use the unbalanced 1/4" jacks for shorter run, or the XLR
balanced jacks for longer runs, like when playing on stage. In any case, they are
perfect replica the one of the other.
If you need mono output, connect only the L/MONO 1/4" jack. XLR jacks can-
not be used for mono output.
HINT: XLR balanced outputs are always cleaner and louder, so they are recom-
mended whenever possible.
