Getting Started

Main Menu

This menu gives access to overall settings such as CC assignments and the User Sample Bank, undo/redo, user interface

size scaling, “About” information, and Librarian-specific commands. Open the main menu by clicking on the three

vertical dots at the top-right of the window:

Main Menu

Settings

This opens the Settings dialog, which includes Set List and User Sample Bank selection, Global Scales, CC assignments,

and more. See “Settings” on page 9,

Audio/MIDI Settings (standalone only)

This includes audio output and MIDI input/output settings for the stand-alone application.

Size

[50%…150%]

This scales the entire user interface to be smaller or larger.

Import…

This is available only when the Librarian is active. It imports one or more files from disk. For more information, see

“Importing data” on page 79.

Export Bundle of All User Sounds…

This is available only when the Librarian is active. It exports a bundle of all non-write-protected data, for backing up or

transferring all of your custom sounds at once.

Undo

Returns to the state prior to the previous operation. This applies to any edits made in the Editor windows - for instance,

editing synthesis parameters, Wave Sequences, or effects, creating modulation routings, and so on. In the Librarian, it

applies to edits of metadata (such as names and categories), Set List edits, creation of new Set Lists, object duplication

and deletion, and data Import. The system supports multiple undos, so that you can step backwards and forwards

through a series of actions.
Undo/redo history is maintained separately for the Librarian and Edit modes. The names of the undo/redo commands

change to reflect this; for example, “Editor Undo: Value Change: Cutoff” or “Librarian Undo: Update Name.”

Redo

Returns to the state prior to executing the “Undo” command. The system supports multiple redos, so that you can step

backwards and forwards through a series of actions.

Open Online Manual

This opens the latest version of the PDF manual in your browser.

Open Help Center

This opens the Korg app Help Center (https://support.korguser.net) in your browser.
