KORG X50 - Manual (Page 82)

Using and Editing Multi sets

Control via MIDI
Multi mode enables the X50 to function as a MIDI
tone generator that is controlled from the con-
nected computer to play ensemble music consist-
ing of multiple instrument parts. This mode also
permits you to use the X50 as a GM tone genera-
tor.
Parameters and performance data
A multi set consists of tracks 1–16, parameters
such as the multi set name, effect and arpeggiator
parameters, and a tempo setting.
You can store 128 of these multi sets in the X50.
Tracks 1–16 consist of the following “setting
parameters,” and will transmit and receive the
“performance data” listed below.

* You can record tempo as performance data by
adjusting it while you realtime-record onto an
external MIDI sequencer. By receiving this data,
you can change the setting of the multi set during
the playback.
** You can use performance data (MIDI RPN data)
to change the settings of a multi set during play-
back.
Other parameters: By editing the settings during
realtime recording, you can record the corre-
sponding MIDI exclusive messages as perfor-
mance data on your external MIDI sequencer. This
gives you a way to change the settings of the multi
set during playback. (GLOBAL 1: MIDI, MIDI Fil-
ter “Exclusive” must be checked.)
