MIDI functions
What is MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital
Interface, and is a world-wide standard for
exchanging a variety of performance-related
information between electronic musical instru-
ments and computers.
About the MIDI implementation chart
The MIDI implementation chart is designed
to let you compare the MIDI messages that
can be transmitted and received by a device.
When using two MIDI devices, you can com-
pare their MIDI implementation charts to see
which messages are compatible between
them.
TIP: You can download the KP3+'s MIDI implemen-
tation chart from the Korg website.(http://www.korg.
com)
* Details on the MIDI functionality are provided in the sepa-
rate MIDI implementation. To obtain the MIDI implementa-
tion, please contact your local Korg distributor.

MIDI connections

Commercially available MIDI cables are used
to transmit and receive MIDI messages. Con-
nect these cables between the MIDI connec-
tors of the KP3+ and the MIDI connectors of
the external MIDI device where you want to
transfer data.
MIDI IN connector: This connector receives
MIDI messages from another MIDI device.
Connect it to the MIDI OUT connector of the
external device.
MIDI OUT connector: This connector transmits
messages from the KP3+. Connect it to the
MIDI IN connector of the external device.

Connecting to your computer

You can use a USB cable to connect the KP3+
directly to a computer equipped with a USB
connector, and transmit or receive the same
MIDI messages as via the MIDI connectors.
In order to use the KP3+ Editor, you must con-
nect the KP3+ to your computer via USB.

TIP: To use the USB connection, the Korg USB-MIDI
driver must be installed in your computer. Download
the Korg USB-MIDI driver from the Korg website
(http://www.korg.com), and install it as described in
the documentation included with the driver.

MIDI settings

In addition to using the KP3+ as a synthesizer,
you can also use it as a realtime controller for
an external MIDI device.
By connecting the KP3+ to your MIDI sequenc-
er and recording the MIDI messages that are
transmitted when you use the touch pad, you
can play back the touch pad operations.
If you turn off the power without storing your settings,
the settings will revert to their original state, and will not be
saved.
