1–2: External 1
This page lets you set up the knobs, sliders, and 
switches for the Control Surface’s EXTERNAL mode. 
In this mode, each slider, knob, and switch can be 
assigned to a separate MIDI controller and MIDI 
channel. 
The eight drum pads also have separate settings which 
apply only when Control Assign is set to External; for 
more information, see “1–3: External 2” on page 658.
You can create up to 128 different External Setups. For 
instance, you might make one setup for controlling 
several different pieces of MIDI gear on stage, another 
for controlling a software synthesizer (such as one of 
Korg’s Legacy Collection synths), and so on.
These External Setups are completely separate from 
the Program. You can think of External mode as being 
a separate control surface which just happens to share 
OASYS’s sliders, knobs, switches, and drum pads. 
When you select an External Setup, it stays selected 
even when you change Programs, or switch to Combi 
or Sequencer modes. This makes it easy to select 
different OASYS sounds without disrupting any 
external MIDI control, and vice-versa.
Note: After editing the setups, make sure to save your 
edits using the page menu’s Write Global command. 
You can also call up this menu command by holding 
ENTER and pressing 0 on the numeric keypad.
