Using a foot switch to select Programs
You can select programs by using a foot switch connected to
the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack. By assigning the
appropriate function, you can increment or decrement the
program number in steps of one.
This lets you change Programs without using your hands–
which is great for quick Program changes in live
performance situations.
There are two ways of doing this: by assigning the foot
switch to Program Up/Down, or to Value Inc/Dec. Each of
these is suited to a particular application, as described below.
• Program Up/Down: When performing with the usual
MAIN page or the favorites list open
• VALUE Inc/Dec: When performing with the sound
select list open
Assigning the foot switch to Program Up/Down
Assigning the foot switch to Program Up or Program Down
lets you directly control Program changes from the foot
switch. For most situations, this is the more straightforward
method.
To set this up:
1. Connect a foot switch to the rear-panel
ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack.
Use an optional PS-1/PS-3 pedal switch.
2. Access the G-INPUT/CTRL> FOOT page.
Proceed as follows.
Hold down the EXIT button ( ) and press the
SEQ button ( ) to enter the GLOBAL/MEDIA
mode.
Press the MENU button to access the function list. Use
the PAGE+ (▼) and PAGE– (▲) buttons to select G-
INPUT/CTRL, and press the MENU (OK) button.
Use the PAGE+ (▼) and PAGE– (▲) buttons to select
the G-INPUT/CTRL> Foot page, and press the MENU
(OK) button.
3. Set “Foot Switch Assign” to either Program Up or
Program Down.
If you choose Program Up, the next program number up
will be selected each time you press the foot switch.
If you choose Program Down, the next program number
down will be selected each time you press the foot
switch.
Use the cursor ▲▼ buttons to select Foot Switch Assign.
Press the ENTER button to access the list, and use the
cursor ▲▼ buttons to select Program Up or Program
Down. Press the ENTER button to confirm your choice.
4. Set the “Foot Switch Polarity” to match the polarity of
the pedal you’ve connected.
If you’ve connected the optional PS-1 or PS-3 pedal,
choose (–) KORG Standard. Use the cursor ▼ button to
select the parameter, and press the ENTER button. The
setting will alternate on/off each time you press the
button.
Now, the foot switch will step through the Programs, one
by one.
5. If you want to preserve this setting even when the
power is turned off, be sure to Write the data. (see
page 124)
6. Press the PROG button to enter PROG> MAIN, and
press the foot switch to change the Program.
Note: This setting also works in the same way for selecting
combinations or favorites.
Note: With the Program Up/Down method, you can’t switch
programs while the sound select list is open. Use the method
explained below in “Assigning the foot switch to Value Inc/
Dec”.
Assigning the foot switch to Value Inc/Dec
This lets you use the Assignable Foot Switch to duplicate the
functions of the VALUE dial.
This method is convenient if you want to open the Sound
select list and switch programs while viewing the program or
combination menu.
1. Follow steps 1–2 under “Assigning the foot switch to
Program Up/Down,” above.
2. At the top of the page, set the Foot Switch Assign
parameter to Value Inc (or Value Dec).
3. Now, the foot switch will act just like you’re turning
the VALUE dial.
Note: The foot switch will work like this for the entire
KROSS–not just when the Sound select list is open.
Connecting a foot pedal
If you connect an optional EXP-2 foot controller or XVP-10/
XVP-20 expression/volume pedal to the ASSIGNABLE
PEDAL jack, you can use it to apply modulation to sounds
or effects, or to adjust the overall volume.
This pedal will always function in the same way regardless
of the Program, Combination, or Song you’ve selected. You
can assign the function in the Global/Media mode.
Like the Assignable Foot Switch, described above, the Foot
Pedal can be used for many different functions, including:
• Master Volume
• Channel Volume, Pan, or Expression
• Assignable sound modulation, as several different AMS
or Dmod sources
• Effects Send level control
• Use various KROSS controls (Modulation wheel, etc.)
1. Connect an optional XVP-10, XVP-20 or EXP-2 to the
ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jacks.
2. Use the Foot Pedal Assign parameter (G-INPUT/
CTRL> FOOT page) to specify the function that will
be controlled by the foot pedal.
Adjust settings as explained in “Assigning the foot switch
to Program Up/Down”.
