3.
Parameters transmitted and
received via NRPN
Front panel knobs and buttons other than the controls listed above are
assigned NRPN (Non Registered Parameter No.). NRPN messages can be
used freely by any musical instrument manufacturer or model.
NRPN editing is performed using the following procedure.
1.
Use NRPN MSB (CC#99) [Bn, 63, mm] and NRPN LSB (CC#98) [Bn,
62, rr] (n: channel, mm, rr: parameter no. upper and lower bytes) to
select the parameter.
2.
Use data entry MSB (CC#6) [Bn, 06, mm] (n: channel, mm:
parameter value) to specify the value.
TIP:
On the KingKORG, only data entry MSB is used.
Controlling the arpeggiator
When arpeggiator settings are modified by the front panel buttons or knobs,
the following NRPN messages are transmitted. When these NRPN messages
are received, the corresponding arpeggiator settings will change accordingly.
These messages are transmitted and received on the Global MIDI channel.
For the correspondence between the values of the message and the values of
the KingKORG parameter, refer to the table.

Universal system exclusive
System exclusive messages include a special category of messages whose
purpose is officially defined. These are called universal system exclusive
messages. Of these universal system exclusive messages, the KingKORG
supports Master Volume and Master Fine Tuning.
Master volume [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 01, vv, mm, F7]
(vv: lower byte of value, mm: upper byte of value, [mm, vv=7F, 7F] is Max,
[mm, vv=00, 00] is 0)
When a Master Volume message is received, the KingKORG will adjust its
overall volume.
Master fine tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 03, vv, mm, F7]
(A value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center (0 cent, A4=440.0Hz), 4096
[mm, vv=20, 00] is -50 cents, and 12288 [mm, vv=60, 00] is +50 cents).
When a master fine tune message is received, the KingKORG’s GLOBAL
“g01: Common” page Mst. Tune setting will be ignored, and the overall
pitch will be specified by the received data.
5.
Realtime Messages
Controlling the arpeggiator and LFOs
When the KingKORG’s tempo is synchronized to MIDI clock data from an
external device, you can use system realtime messages to control the
functionality of the arpeggiator and LFOs (→ p.18 “Clock” ).
Start [FA]
When the start message [FA] is received, the arpeggio will be reset to the
beginning of the pattern. Additionally, if the LFO’s Key Sync is turned off, the
phase of the LFO will be reset.
Stop [FC]
When a Stop [FC] message is received, the arpeggiator will stop. (It will not be
turned off; the arpeggiator will start again when additional notes are played).
