22. MIDI
MIDI CH [1...16]
Specifies the MIDI channel.
When you wish to transmit pro-
gram changes or system exclusive
messages via MIDI, set the global
MIDI channel to match the MIDI
channel of the connected MIDI de-
vice.
LOCAL [OFF, ON]
Switch the local on/off setting.
OFF ( ):
With this setting, controllers such as
the keyboard and modulation
wheel will be internally discon-
nected from the tone generator sec-
tion.
This setting prevents notes from
being sounded in duplicate when a
sequencer is connected and the per-
formance data is echoed back from
the sequencer. (Echo back is when
the performance data transmitted
by playing the microKORG S is re-
transmitted back to the microKORG
S from the sequencer.)
ON ( ):
Select this setting when you are us-
ing the microKORG S by itself.
CLOCK [Internal, External, Auto]
Specifies how the microKORG S
will synchronize with a connected
external MIDI device (sequencer,
rhythm machine, etc.). If the LFO 1/
2 or DELAY "TEMPO SYNC" is ON,
the LFO rate and delay time will
also synchronize in the same way
as the arpeggiator.
POSITION [Post KBD, Pre TG]
Specifies the internal MIDI IN/
OUT routing within the micro-
KORG S. This setting will affect the
way in which MIDI data is trans-
mitted and received, and how the
arpeggiator data is handled. (➚)
(➘)
Auto ( ):
The microKORG S will automati-
cally function using the External
setting if MIDI clock messages are
being received from an external
MIDI device connected to the MIDI
IN connector. Normally it will func-
tion using the Internal setting.
When making settings for syn-
chronizing external MIDI de-
vices, refer to the owner's manu-
als for the devices you are using.
Here you can make MIDI-related settings for the microKORG S.
Internal ( ):
The arpeggiator will be determined
by the internal clock (specified by
"TEMPO"). Select this setting if you
are using the microKORG S by it-
self, or if you are using the
microKORG S as the master (con-
trolling device) so that an external
MIDI device will synchronize to the
MIDI clock messages from the
microKORG S.
External ( ):
The microKORG S's arpeggiator
will synchronize to the MIDI clock
messages received from an external
MIDI device connected to the MIDI
IN connector. (➚)
(➘)
Post KBD ( ):
In this position, incoming MIDI
data will be sent to the timbres
without being affected by the glo-
bal or front paneltranspose controls,
and will not trigger the arpeggiator.
Data produced by the keyboard will
be converted according to the inter-
nal settings, routed through the
arpeggiator (arpeggiator notes are
sent as MIDI data), and then sent
to the MIDI OUT connector.
(➝Figure 22-1)
Pre TG ( ):
Incoming MIDI data will be affected
by by the global settings, and will
act as trigger notes for the
arpeggiator. Data produced by the
keyboard will be sent to the MIDI
OUT connector without being af-
fected by any setting other than
OCTAVE SHIFT (arpeggiator notes
are NOT sent via MIDI). (➝Figure
