Connecting a Pa-Series instrument to an external controller |13
Connecting an external control surface to mix the Sounds
You can use an external control surface, for example a KORG nanoKONTROL,
nanoKONTROL Studio or a KORG taktile, to mix the Sounds live, as you would
do with a stage mixer when playing acoustic instruments.
Configure the external control surface
1 Program the external control surface to match the parameters you want to
control in the Pa-Series instrument.
Make each slider and/or knob of the external control surface send data on
separate MIDI channels, according to the programming suggested below. For
example, make the sliders send Control Change #07 (Channel Volume) mes-
sages, and the knobs send Control Change #10 (Pan) messages.
With devices like the KORG controllers cited above, program the sliders and
knobs by using the KORG KONTROL Editor software, that you can freely
download from our web site.
Devices like the KORG nanoKONTROL Studio allow for saving programming
to different Scenes, to be recalled when needed. In the following examples,
we will program two Scenes to control (1) Keyboard Sounds and Pads, and
(2) Accompaniment Sounds. With a Song, we will control two groups of eight
tracks with each Scene.
