Objects in the display
The M50 uses Korg’s TouchView graphical user 
interface.
By touching on objects shown in the display, you can 
select pages, set parameter values, rename programs 
and combinations, write data, and perform many other 
operations.
a: Current page
This indicates the current page within the selected 
mode.
Beginning at the left, this area shows the mode name, 
page number: name, and tab name.
b: Tab
Most pages are divided into two or more tabs.
c: Parameters
The parameters for various settings are shown in the 
display.
d: Edit cell
When you touch a parameter in the display, the 
parameter or parameter value will usually be 
highlighted (displayed in reverse highlighting). This is 
called the edit cell, and the highlighted item will be 
available for editing.
For details on how to edit the value, please see 
“Selecting a parameter and editing the value” on 
page 17.
e: Check box
Each time you press a check box, it alternates between 
the checked (red) and unchecked states.
The parameter will be active if it is checked, and 
inactive if it is unchecked.
f: Popup button (1)
When this button is pressed, a popup menu will 
appear, showing the parameter values that are 
available for selection.
To enter the parameter value, press the desired value 
in the popup menu.

Pin
This switches the popup menu 
display between locked and 
unlocked.
When locked, the pin will be shown

remain displayed even after you 
press a parameter value. When 
unlocked, the pin will be shown 
opened, and the popup menu will 
close immediately when you press a 
parameter value.
g: Popup button (2)
When you press this button, a tabbed menu will 
appear.
To close a tabbed menu, press the OK button or Cancel 
button.

Use this when you need to see parameter values that

one time.
