Korg m50-73 User Guide

If you’re in a page other than page 0 (e.g., Prog P0: 
Play) of each mode, pressing this switch will take you 
to page 0.

This switch makes it easy to return to the main page of 
the current mode:

• Press it once to go to the previously-selected tab on 

the main P0: Play page (Play/REC page in 
Sequencer mode).

• Press it again to go to the first tab on the main P0: 

Play page (such as the main Program Play page). If 
you had previously selected a parameter on this 
page, that parameter will be selected.

• Press it a third time to select the main parameter on 

the P0: Play page, such as the Program name in 
Program mode.

Wherever you are in Program, Combination, or 
Sequencer modes, pressing EXIT two times (or fewer) 
will take you back to Program/Combination/Song 
Select, where you can immediately use the numeric 
keys or q/u switches to select a Program, 
Combination, or Song.

When a dialog box is open, this switch cancels the 
settings made in the dialog box and closes the dialog 
box, just like pressing the Cancel button.

If a popup menu or menu is open, pressing EXIT closes 
the menu.

• You can access tabbed pages by pressing the tabs 

shown in the bottom line of the display.

This example shows the Program T01–08 page 
through Mixer T01–08 page of Combi P0: Play.

It will be highlighted. (This is called the “edit cell.”)

the VALUE controllers (VALUE dial, q/u 
switches, numeric keys 0–9, – switch, (.) switch, 
and ENTER switch).

The way in which the value will change depends 

on the type of parameter or object.

For example in the case of a check box object, you can 
switch the value by pressing that object. You can use 
the PROG SELECT switches to specify the bank for 

programs etc., or hold down the ENTER switch and 
press a note on the keyboard to enter a note or velocity 
value (“keyboard input”).

You can use the COMPARE switch to compare 

the sound you’re editing with the original unedited 
sound.

This edits the value of the selected parameter. This 
slider is convenient when you want to make large 
changes in the value, or for approximate editing.

You can also use the slider as a modulation source.

q

/u switches

Use these when you wish to make small changes in the 
value.

Use this dial to edit the selected parameter’s value. 
This control is convenient when you want to scroll 
through a very long list of selections.

These switches are convenient when you know the 
exact value that you want to enter. Use the 0–9, –, and 
decimal (.) switches to enter the value, and then press 
the ENTER switch to confirm the entry. 

The – switch inverts the sign (+/–) of the parameter 
value; the decimal (.) switch inserts a decimal, for 
entering fractional values.

ENTER has a few special functions when it is pressed 
in combination with other switches.

Whenever a parameter on the display lets you enter a 
musical note (such as G4 or C#2), or a velocity level, 
you can enter the note or velocity directly by holding 
down ENTER while playing a note on the keyboard. 
(This is not available in menu command dialog boxes.)

By holding down the ENTER switch while you press a 
numeric key (0–9), you can select up to ten menu 
commands from within the current page.

In Program and Combination modes, you can hold 
down the ENTER switch and press the SEQUENCER 
REC/WRITE switch to use the Auto Song Setup 
function. This imports the current Program or 
Combination into Sequencer mode for quick and easy 
recording.

While a dialog box is displayed, the ENTER switch 
corresponds to the OK button. (The EXIT switch 
corresponds to the Cancel button.)

In Sequencer mode, you can hold down the ENTER 
switch and press the LOCATE switch to operate the 
menu command Set Location.
