Korg M50-88 - External

SEQ P0–2: Play/REC Control External
145
External
This External Setup lets you transmit MIDI messages to
external devices. Each knob will transmit an individually
assigned MIDI CC# on its MIDI channel.
There are two modes of external control: EXT 1–4 and EXT
5–8. Alternating presses of the EXTERNAL switch will
toggle these two modes. In both mode, each of knobs 1-4
will transmit its assigned MIDI CC # over its designated
MIDI channel.
You can also assign a note or MIDI CC# for transmission on
a specified MIDI channel to the chord trigger switches. (See
“1–3: External Mode 1” on page 224 and “1–4: External
Mode 2”)
You can create 128 different external setups in the Global P1:
MIDI– External Mode 1, 2 pages. 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 a separate
control surface which just happens to share M50’s knobs,
and chord trigger switches.
When you select an External Setup, it stays selected even
when you change Programs, or switch to Combination or
Sequencer modes. This makes it easy to select different M50
sounds without disrupting any external MIDI control, and
vice-versa.
