Korg 2E ii User Manual

Specifies the panning (stereo location) for each timbre. 
A setting of C064 will reproduce the oscillator pan set-
ting of the program. Moving this to left or right will 
move the sound to left or right while preserving the 
pan relationship between the oscillators. A setting of 
L001

 is far left, and R127 is far right.

Adjusts the volume of each timbre.
Create the overall sound by adjusting the volume bal-
ance between timbres. The “Volume” setting is an 
important aspect of creating the sound, and this setting 
will have a significant effect on the overall impression 
produced by the Combination.

For each combination, you can specify the functions of 
the B-mode functions of REALTIME CONTROLS 
knobs [1]–[4], and the [SW1] and [SW2.] (

Here you can specify the state of MIDI and the internal 
tone generator for each timbre. Normally when sound-
ing the internal tone generator of this instrument, you 
will set this to INT. Set this to Off for timbres that you 
are not using. With settings of Off, EXT, or EX2, this 
instrument will not sound. With settings of EXT or 
EX2

, you can control an external tone generator con-

Timbres that you wish to play from this instrument’s 
keyboard must be set to the global MIDI channel. Your 
playing on the keyboard is transmitted on the global 
MIDI channel, and will sound any timbre that matches 
this channel. Normally you will set this to Gch. When 
this is set to Gch, the MIDI channel of the timbre will 
always match the global MIDI channel, even if you 
change the global MIDI channel.

On some preloaded combinations that use the 
arpeggiator, timbres assigned to the arpeggiator 
may not have a “Status” of INT and “MIDI Ch” of 
Gch

.

The reason for this is that these settings are for tim-
bres that sound only when the arpeggiator is on. 
This is a very useful technique for creating combi-
nations that use the arpeggiator. Refer to “Arpeg-
giator settings in Combination and Sequencer 
modes” (

p.105, PG p.43), and study the relation-

ship between arpeggiator assignments, “Status,” 
and “MIDI Channel.”

This setting is valid when “Status” is set to EX2. It 
specifies the Bank Select message that will be transmit-
ted from this instrument.

Normally you will set this to PRG.
If you wish to force a polyphonic program to sound 
monophonically, set this either to Mono or LGT 
(Legato)

. Conversely, set this to Poly if you wish to 

force a monophonic program to play polyphonically 
(

Normally you will set this to Both.
If the timbre is using a program whose “Mode (Oscilla-
tor Mode)” is Double, and you want only OSC1 or 
OSC2 (not both) to sound, set this to OSC1 (only OSC1 
will sound) or OSC2 (only OSC2 will sound).

Normally you will set this to PRG.
If you want the portamento setting specified for the 
program of the timbre to be forced off, set this parame-
ter to Off. Conversely, if you want to forcibly turn the 
portamento on, or to change the portamento time, set 
this to a value of 001–127 to specify the portamento 
time.
