Korg KONTROL49 User Manual

You can assign separate control change 
messages to the up/down and left/right (X 
and Y) axes.

You can use these switches in either the 
one-parameter (Inc/Dec type) or two-
parameter (SW × 2) mode.
• One-parameter mode assigns a single 

 or program change to 

both switches, allowing the value to be 
increased or decreased by SW1 and SW2.

• Two-parameter mode lets you assign 

completely separate messages (damper, 
sostenuto, soft pedal, portamento, or 
other control change) to SW1 and SW2.

You can assign MIDI messages to these 
wheels and use them to control a connected 
device or an application on your computer.
• BEND can be assigned to pitch bend, 

, aftertouch, velocity, or a 

.

• MOD WHEEL can be assigned to 

, velocity, or a control change.

This is a full-size 49-key velocity-sensitive 
keyboard. It transmits note messages.

In each mode this displays the scene name, 
page, parameters, and other information.

The TEMPO LED blinks every quarter-note, 
according to the MIDI Clock tempo specified 
by the main encoder.

In Play mode you can use this to adjust the MIDI 
Clock tempo or to transmit program changes. In 
other modes this is used to edit parameters.

You can assign control changes or note 
messages (C-1–G9)

 to the trigger pads.

When assigning a control change, you can 
choose to transmit a value of 127 when the pad 
is pressed and 0 when released, or alternately 
transmit values of 0 and 127 each time the pad 
is pressed.
When assigning a note message, you can 
specify whether a note-on (with velocity) will 
be transmitted when the pad is pressed and a 
note-off when released, or alternately transmit 
both note-on and note-off messages each time 
the pad is pressed.
In other modes, you can use the trigger pads to 
select pages, to input numerical values, or 
perform various other functions depending on 
the mode. (☞p.4 “About the trigger pad 
functions”)
