Connecting Havian 30 to a personal
computer or tablet
You can program a new song on a personal computer or tablet connected to
Havian 30. The computer has to run some sequencing or notation software.
When a song is ready, you can transfer it to the internal memory of Havian
30, and read it with the internal Player.
Connections and settings
1 Install the Korg USB MIDI Driver, as explained above.
2 Connect Havian 30 and the computer or tablet via the USB DEVICE port.
3 On the computer, activate the MIDI Thru function (please refer to the soft-
ware’s user manual).
4 On Havian 30, go to the Global > MIDI > General Controls page and choose
the External Sequencer or Tablet MIDI Preset.
5 Still in the Global > MIDI > General Controls page, deselect the Local Control
On checkbox to set the instrument to the Local Off status.
6 Press the SEQUENCER button to go to the Sequencer mode.
7 Play the keyboard.
Notes played on the keyboard will go from the USB port of Havian 30 to the
USB port of the computer or tablet. Notes generated by the computer are
sent from the USB port of the computer to the USB port of Havian 30.
The Sounds
The song that is played back by the sequencer can select Havian 30 Sounds
through the MIDI messages Bank Select MSB, Bank Select LSB (bank selec-
tion, two messages), and Program Change (Sound selection). See the list of
Sounds and corresponding MIDI values in the Appendix.
As a hint for those who program songs on computer: even though it is not
mandatory, for a wider compatibility you should set bass on channel 2, mel-
ody on channel 4, drum kit on channel 10, controls for an harmonizer on
channel 5.
