Connecting an external controller with pads to send
chords to the arranger
You can play chords on an external set of pads, like those of the KORG nano-
PADs. This way, you can play freely with both hands, without having to play
chords for the Arranger on the keyboard.
Configure the external controller

Program the external controller to send data on MIDI channel 16 (that we will
use for the Chord 1 channel in the Pa-Series instrument).
With the KORG nanoPAD2 and devices of the same series, program the trans-
mit channel and message sent by the pads by using the KORG KONTROL
Editor software, that you can freely download from our
.
In the following image, you can see how the nanoPAD2’s Global channel has
been set to MIDI channel 16 in the
Global
dialog.
After having chosen the transmit MIDI channel (that is, in this case, the
Global channel), press the
Write
button to save the setting in the controller’s
memory. Then press the
Close
button to close the dialog.
