Kenton POLY 6 Korg - Manual (Page 3)

2) Controller Y can be any MIDI controller. After pressing the red push button twice to enter SET-UP
mode, operate the required MIDI controller before pressing the A or Bb key that will assign it. If you do
not operate a controller before pressing the A or Bb key, then controller Y will respond to MIDI controller
17 - that is General purpose controller 2 (11 hexadecimal)
3) Controller X/Y will take priority over other control messages, so if controller X/Y is the mod wheel, mod
wheel messages will operate whatever controller X/Y is currently assigned to, instead of operating
modulation.
4) Transmit/Receive channel and omni-on setting will return you directly to playing mode, all other keys
will let you stay in SET-UP mode until you press the ENTER key (Top C)
5) The ENTER key (Top C) also resets all controllers to their default values - off in most cases - on for
volume - centre for pitch bender.
6 )After pressing the red push button twice to enter set-up mode, the first assignment that you make for
any given source (after-touch for example) will cancel all other destinations currently assigned to that
source - if you want to make multiple assignments, you will have to do this in the same set-up session, in
other words, before you press top C.
- For example - irrespective of what aftertouch was previously assigned to, pressing F (and release) will
assign it to VCF only - to make aftertouch also bend pitch, you will have to press E ( and release) before
pressing the top C which will ENTER the information and store it in n.v. memory.
OTHER SET-UPS WILL REMAIN UNALTERED UNLESS SPECIFICALLY CHANGED
7) Control change commands recognised - (numbers in decimal)
121 reset all controllers 01 modulation wheel
123 all notes off 07 Main volume
124 omni mode off (always poly) 64 sustain pedal
125 omni mode on (always poly) 94 select transpose mode
126 (mono mode) = all notes off 95 select set-up mode
127 (poly mode) = all notes off
nnn Controller X (user defined where nnn = any controller)
nnn Controller Y (user defined where nnn = any controller)
Controller X default = 16
Controller Y default = 17
8) Other commands recognised - (numbers in hexadecimal)
8nH notes off 9nH notes on & velocity
BnH control change (see above) CnH program change
DnH channel pressure (aftertouch) EnH pitch-bend change
FEH active sensing
MIDI CONTROL OF RED PUSH BUTTON
The red push button can be "pressed" via MIDI as MIDI switch number 95 (5Fh) for regular program mode
or 94 (5Eh) for transpose mode. The selection of the push button is enough, it doesn't matter if it is being
turned on or off.
In hexadecimal BX - 5F - 00 = program mode
In hexadecimal BX - 5E - 00 = transpose mode
Where X is the current MIDI channel.
[N.B. whilst in program/transpose modes the MIDI is in omni on mode]
MIDI CONNECTORS
MIDI IN should be connected to a MIDI OUT or a MIDI THRU similarly MIDI OUT should be connected only
to a MIDI IN and a MIDI THRU should also be connected only to a MIDI IN.
MIDI OUT is the signal from the synthesizer (or drum machine etc.) that is to be sent to another
instrument. MIDI IN is a received signal that contains MIDI information from another synth, and MIDI THRU
