selected only if there is no other solution. The Korg synthesizer MS20 (MS10) e.g. are
equipped with external control inputs taht can be adjusted to V/Octave with the control knob.
(Input: TOTAL, (FREQ) knob:, MG/T.EXT, (EG1/EXT) ).
Using this input(s) we obtained much better results than with the Hz/V control inputs.
Also the MS20/10 has inverted trigger, so you had to switch to inverte trigger with program
change #8.
(8) Controller for CV4
If the MCV4 receives a MIDI controller message (except bank controller 0 & 32) while being
in the learn mode the controller no. of these message defines the controller no. for CV4. I.e.
the CV4 output of the MCV4 corresponds from now on to these controller no. The controller
message must be sent on the MCV4 MIDI channel (see remark 1).
Temporary parameter changes
The program change messages listed in the table can be used to change the settings only
temporary. This means that the changes are not stored in the parameter memory. If the
MCV4 is turned off and on the previous parameter settings are called up again. This
procedure may be used to try out different settings without storing them into the memory or
to change the settings temporary from a sequencer (e.g. retrigger on/off, assign mode
change).
The program change messages must be sent on the MCV4 MIDI channel (see remark 1).
Resetting the device
To obtain the factory settings for all parameters one has to reset the device. This might be
useful if you e.g. do not remember the last parameter settings (e.g. MIDI channel, reference
note, controller # for CV4, key assign mode, CV1 characteristics) or if they are misadjusted
wrongly. If your MCV4 seems to behave strange and you do not know how to solve the
problem resetting the device may help as the values of all parameters are known after the
reset. To reset the device one has to operate the learn button while the power supply is
plugged in. The LED will turn on and one has to keep down the button a few seconds until
the LED starts to flash. Operating the button once again leads to the normal operation mode
and the LED will turn off.
After the reset the MCV4 parameters are set to these values:
• MIDI channel 1
• reference note 36 (i.e. the lowest "c" on a standard 5-octave keyboard)
• trigger polarity: normal (non-inverted)
• retrigger: off
• CV3: volume (controller #7)
• CV4: modulation (controller #1)
• CV1 characteristics: V/octave
• key assign mode: highest note
These values are identical to the factory settings.
