B-mode controls
You can control parameters such as volume, porta-
mento time, pan or filter and amp EG, pitch LFO, and
master effect send levels etc.
The B-mode function settings are made for each indi-
vidual program, combination, or song.
In Sampling mode, the B-mode functions are set for the
entire mode (if the EXB-SMPL option is installed)
(
☞p.119).
C-mode control
You can control the effect of the arpeggiator in real-
time. For details on operation, refer to p.27.
Viewing the parameters that are assigned to
[SW1], [SW2] keys, and the REALTIME CONTROLS
B mode
In Program and Combination modes, the B-mode func-
tions of the REALTIME CONTROLS knobs [1], [2], [3],
and [4] and [SW1]/[SW2] keys can be verified in the
1.1: Play page.
Keyboard
Velocity
The force with which you initially strike a note can
apply an effect.
Normally this is used to control volume, or the speed
or sensitivity of the EG.
After Touch
This effect can be applied by varying pressure on a key
that is already being held down.
Normally this is used to control volume, tone (cutoff
frequency), or LFO sensitivity etc.
Note Number
Varying amounts of an effect will be applied depend-
ing on the position of the key on the keyboard.
Normally this is used to control volume, tone (cutoff
frequency), LFO sensitivity, and EG sensitivity etc.
This can be used as a source for alternate modula-
tion or effect dynamic modulation, to control pro-
gram parameters or effect parameters.
Foot pedals
Damper Pedal
A separately sold Korg switch-type damper pedal such
as the DS-1H can be connected to this instrument. If a
DS-1H is connected, it will function as a half-damper
pedal. The half-damper function cannot be controlled
by other pedals.
Assignable Foot Switch
A separately sold on/off switch such as the Korg PS-1
foot switch can be connected to this instrument, allow-
ing you to turn an assigned function on/off by step-
ping on the foot switch.
The function of the foot switch is assigned in GLOBAL
1.1: System “Foot SW Assign” (
☞p.117).
Assignable Foot Pedal
A separately sold Korg expression pedal such as the
EXP-2 foot controller or XVP-10 EXP/VOL pedal can
be connected to the rear panel ASSIGNABLE PEDAL
jack, and used to apply an effect.
The function of the foot pedal is assigned in GLOBAL
1.1: System Foot page “Foot Pedal Assign” (
☞p.117).
