Midi Filters; Data Transfer Via The Usb Port - Korg C-540 Bedienungsanleitung

MIDI Filters

When you choose a sound, operate the damper pedal, adjust
the level balance in Layer mode, or make other adjustments on
the control panel, a MIDI message is sent to a connected exter-
nal MIDI (and/or USB) device. At the same time, C-540 can
receive a MIDI message from an external MIDI (and/or USB)
device connected to its MIDI IN (or USB port), to control the
sounds, damper pedal, volume adjustment, and other data.
You can choose to deactivate (i.e., "filter") these data selective-
ly, to avoid unwanted changes or mixing data generated by ex-
ternal devices and internal controls. Also, you could want to
avoid sending MIDI data to an external MIDI device, for ex-
ample Program Change message selecting unwanted sounds
on a different musical instrument.

Data transfer via the USB port

The USB is a high-speed data port installed on most modern
computers. You can use it to transfer data from the internal
memory of the C-540, to a computer and vice-versa. Before
you do this, you must enable USB connection for data transfer.
Note: While data transfer is active, no MIDI over USB communi-
cation is allowed.
Windows ME, 2000, XP, Vista, and Mac OS 9.0.4 to OS X, are
supported with no need for special drivers. To use the C-540
with Windows 98SE you need the dedicated KORG Driver, a
special software that you can freely download from our web-
site.
Warning: Since activating the USB port for data transfer au-
tomatically deactivates MIDI over USB, exit from any MIDI
software on your personal computer before turning the USB
Connect function on. Failing to do so could damage the C-
540's internal memory data.
Warning: When you turn the USB connection off, the C-540
will be reinitialized and all unsaved data in the instrument's
memory will be deleted. Save any unsaved sound, perfor-
mance, song, or global setting, before activating the USB
connection.
