Realtime Control Slider 1–4 have preset assignments, as
below:
Slider1: CUTOFF (Filter Cutoff: CC#74)
This scales the cutoff frequency of all of the filters at once.
For instance, in the EDS, it affects both Filters A and B.
Slider2: RESONANCE (Filter Resonance: CC#71)
This scales the resonance of all of the filters at once. For
instance, in the EDS, it affects both Filters A and B.
Slider3: EG INTENSITY (Filter EG Intensity: CC#79)
This scales the effect of the Filter EG on the cutoff frequency.
It affects all of the filters at once; for instance, in the EDS, it
affects both Filters A and B.
Slider4: EG RELEASE (Filter, Amplifier EG Release: CC#72)
This scales the release times of the Filter and Amp EGs.
Foot Switch Assignments
You can connect a footswitch (such as the optional Korg PS-
1) to the rear-panel ASSIGNABLE SWITCH input, and then
use it to control a wide variety of functions, as described
below.
This setting is made globally, on the Global P2: Controllers–
Foot Controllers page.
Foot Switch and MIDI CCs
Some of the assignments include MIDI CCs, which are
transmitted each time the switch is turned on or off (Off = 0,
and On = 127). Note that the MIDI CCs can still be received
even if they are not assigned to a physical controller.
RT Sliders 1–8 and SW1/2 are special cases, since these can
themselves be assigned to different MIDI CCs. If the
footswitch is assigned to duplicate these controls, it will also
use their CC assignments.
