Kenton Korg Poly-61 - Manual (Page 4)

11) Using arpeggio clock. With the rear panel toggle switch in the UP position, the Korg Poly 61 will function as
normal. With the switch in the DOWN position the Korg Poly 61 will use MIDI clock. You may need to set the divide
rate – see the first page. If you want to use the external jack input for clock, you should set the switch in the up
position.
To select MIDI clock merely set the rear panel switch to the DOWN position and the arpeggiator will take its tempo
from MIDI. Note that if the switch is set to MIDI and there is no MIDI clock present, the Korg Poly 61 will not play, if it
is in arpeggio mode.
To change the divide rate, press the push button and hold in for about four seconds, until a note sounds, (this is
transpose mode) the bottom four octaves are used to set "transpose" but the top octave will set the arpeggio divide.
TOP C = ENTER - Return to normal playing and store
B = Clock normal - no divide (full speed)
Bb = Clock divided by 2 (half speed)
A = Clock divided by 4 (quarter speed)
Ab = Clock divided by 8 (eighth speed)
G = Set triplet on (can be used with any of above)
You will need to press TOP C (Enter) after any selection.
If you want to use Triplet, you will need to set this after the divide ratio, as pressing any of the divide ratios cancels
Triplet.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT MIDI CONNECTIONS
Any MIDI IN should be connected to a MIDI OUT or a MIDI THRU similarly any MIDI OUT should be connected only
to a MIDI IN and any MIDI THRU should also only be connected to a MIDI IN.
MIDI OUT (if fitted) is the signal from the synthesizer (or drum machine etc.) that is to be sent to another instrument.
MIDI IN is a received signal that contains MIDI information from another synth, and MIDI THRU is an exact copy of
information arriving at the MIDI IN socket. This allows several instruments to be connected together.
If you want to wire your own MIDI cables the following information may be useful.
1) Although a 5 pin connector is used, only two connections plus an
earth connection are required.
2) If you look at the din plug from the wiring side you will see that the pins are numbered. From left to right (or
clockwise) these are 1 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 3.
3) The pins numbered 1 & 3 are not used.
4) The screen (earth) is connected to pin 2 (centre pin)
5) Pin 4 of one plug should be connected to pin 4 of the other
6) Pin 5 of one plug should be connected to pin 5 of the other
7) You should now have a working MIDI lead
8) It is preferable to label one end of the cable MIDI IN & the other end MIDI OUT, to avoid confusion.
