The Controllers tab of the Controllers/Scales page lets you
control how the footswitches and foot pedal will work, as
well as setting up controller mappings for the KARMA
controls and the chord pads.
Setting up the Assignable Switch and
Pedal
Assignable Switch
Foot Switch Assign lets you assign a function to a
footswitch (such as the optional Korg PS-1) connected to the
rear-panel ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack.
You can choose from the following functions:
• AMS (Alternate Modulation) source for controlling
sounds
• Dmod (dynamic modulation) source for controlling
effects
• Portamento on/off
• Sostenuto
• Soft pedal
• Step up or down through sounds, including Programs,
Combinations, and Set List Slots
• Start/stop the sequencer
• Punch-in/out on the sequencer
•Tap tempo
• KARMA on/off
• Drum Track on/off
• Chord Mode on/off
• Select min and max values for controllers, including the
joystick, ribbon, knobs, and KARMA sliders.
• Trigger chords from the on-screen pads
Assignable Pedal
You can specify the function that will be performed by an
assignable pedal (the optional XVP-10 EXP/VEL pedal or
EXP-2 foot controller) connected to the ASSIGNABLE
PEDAL jack.
This is controlled by the Foot Pedal Assign parameter.
You can choose from the following functions:
• Master volume
• Alternate modulation source
• Effect dynamic modulation source
• Portamento pitch change speed
• Volume
•Pan
• Pan (following insert effects)
• Send levels to the master effects
• Duplicate the function of another controller, such as the
joystick or ribbon
Note: You can use this as a source for alternate modulation
or effect dynamic modulation, and use it to control program
parameters or effect parameters. In 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
foot switch
1. Press the “Foot Switch Assign” popup button, and
select either Program Up or Program Down.
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.
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 39 and “2–1c: MIDI CC# Assign —Vector Joystick /
Pads” on page 793 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.
