generator a second time. To prevent each note from being sounded twice, once

directly from the keyboard and once from the echoed-back note, you must turn the

microKORG S's Local Control setting off.

Recording the MIDI output from the microKORG S's arpeggiator onto

an external MIDI sequencer or computer

Connect the microKORG S's MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector of your

external MIDI sequencer / computer, and connect the microKORG S's MIDI IN

connector to the MIDI OUT connector of your external MIDI sequencer / computer.

(➝p.49)

Then turn the microKORG S's Local Control off (MIDI "LOCAL" OFF), and turn on

the echo back setting of your external MIDI sequencer / computer.

Recording the note data from the arpeggiator onto an external MIDI sequencer / com-

puter

Set the microKORG S's MIDI "POSITION" to Post KBD ( ).

Turn on the microKORG S's arpeggiator, play the keyboard, and record the note

data on your external MIDI sequencer / computer. If the MIDI "POSITION" is set to

Post KBD, the MIDI note data produced by the arpeggiator will be output from the

microKORG S, and recorded. (➝p.47)

Turn the microKORG S's arpeggiator off during playback.

Recording only the arpeggio-triggering notes on an external MIDI sequencer / com-

puter, and running the microKORG S's arpeggiator during playback

Set the microKORG S's MIDI "POSITION" to Pre TG ( ).

Turn on the microKORG S's arpeggiator, play the keyboard, and record the note

data on your external MIDI sequencer / computer. If MIDI "POSITION" is set to Pre

TG (

), only the notes you actually play on the keyboard will be transmitted as

MIDI data, and the MIDI note data generated by the arpeggiator will not be

transmitted. However, the MIDI note data echoed back from the external MIDI

sequencer / computer (whose echo back setting is turned on) will trigger the

microKORG S's arpeggiator, producing an arpeggio. (➝p.47)

Turn the microKORG S's arpeggiator on during playback.

Synchronizing the arpeggiator

The MIDI "CLOCK" setting specifies whether the microKORG S's arpeggiator will

be the master (the controlling device) or slave (the controlled device).

For information on synchronization-related settings of your external MIDI

device, refer to the manual of your device.

Using the microKORG S as master and the external MIDI device as slave

Connect the microKORG S's MIDI OUT connector to the external MIDI device's

MIDI IN connector (➝p.48). If you set MIDI "CLOCK" to Internal (

), the

microKORG S will be the master, and will transmit MIDI timing clock messages.

Make settings on your external MIDI device so it will receive external MIDI clock

data. The external MIDI device (sequencer, rhythm machine, etc.) will operate at the

tempo specified by the ARPEG.A "TEMPO" setting.

Using the external MIDI device as master and the microKORG S as slave

Connect the microKORG S's MIDI IN connector to the external MIDI device's MIDI

OUT connector (➝p.48). If you set MIDI "CLOCK" to External (

), the

microKORG S will be the slave.

The microKORG S's arpeggiator will operate at the tempo of the external MIDI

device (sequencer, rhythm machine, etc.).

If you set MIDI "CLOCK" to Auto ( ), the microKORG S will automatically

function using the External setting if MIDI clock is being received from an

external MIDI device connected to the MIDI IN connector. Otherwise, the

microKORG S will function using the Internal setting.
