INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIDI INTERFACE
KORG MONOPOLY
USING THE MIDI INTERFACE
When you turn on the synthesizer for the first time, you will be in omni-on mode for receive (all channels). When
you select a receive channel or other set-up, this will be stored in memory and will be remembered for when you
subsequently turn on the synth - all parameters listed on the next page are stored.
If you want to put the machine back to the factory default settings at any time, switch the synth on whilst holding
the red push button pressed - hold for a couple of seconds then release.
RED PUSH BUTTON
Two modes are available by pushing the red push button. Before you press the red button however, make sure
that no notes are pressed on the synth otherwise the results may be unpredictable.
The keyboard notes required for set-up & transpose modes should be sent via MIDI from an external keyboard.
(DX7/D50 etc. etc.)
1) SET-UP MODE
Setting MIDI channels and assignments.
Give the red push button one short press (half a second) - then release. Follow this with a note or sequence of
notes as detailed on page 2. After selecting a channel you will be automatically returned to playing mode but after
making assignments you will need to press the ENTER key (Top C) to return to playing mode. This is to enable
you to make the multiple key presses required when re-assigning sources to destinations. (N.B. set-ups are stored
in non volatile memory).
2) TRANSPOSE MODE
Press and hold the red push button for four seconds - then release. Middle C will sound on the synth and
continue to sound until you press a key. The note that you press will be the new middle C for MIDI IN. You can set
any value up to two octaves up or down. Settings outside this range will be ignored. Note that transpose mode
cannot be entered from set-up mode.
ASSIGNING MIDI CONTROL SOURCES TO DESTINATIONS
SOURCES DESTINATIONS (d)=factory default
AFTERTOUCH off / modulation (d)/ p.bend / vcf / not used
CONTROLLER X off / vcf (d) / not used
CONTROLLER Y off / vcf / not used (d)
VELOCITY off (d) / vcf
Sources can control more than one destination at once, but a destination can only be controlled by one source at
a time. Thus if velocity is currently controlling VCF and then you switch aftertouch to VCF, velocity will then control
nothing until re-assigned.
