Combination P0: Play 0–9: Control Surface
339
0–9d: External
This Control Assign setting lets you send MIDI
messages to external devices. Each slider, knob, and
switch can be assigned to a separate MIDI controller
and MIDI channel. The eight drum pads also have
separate settings which apply only when Control
Assign is set to External.
In Global mode, you can create up to 128 different
External Setups. For instance, you might make one
setup for controlling several different pieces of MIDI
gear on stage, another for controlling a software
synthesizer (such as one of Korg’s Legacy Collection
synths), and so on. For more information, see “1–2:
External 1” on page 656.
These External Setups are completely separate from
the Combi. You can think of External mode as being a
separate control surface which just happens to share
OASYS’s sliders, knobs, switches, and drum pads.
When you select an External Setup, it stays selected
even when you change Combis, or switch to Program
or Sequencer modes. This makes it easy to select
different OASYS sounds without disrupting any
external MIDI control, and vice-versa.
Setup [000…127]
This selects the Global setup for the knobs, sliders,
switches, and drum pads.
Note: this selection is not stored with the Combi.
Knobs 1–8
MIDI Channel (1–8) [01…16, Gch]
This read-only parameter shows the MIDI Channel
assigned to the knob. Each can send on a different
channel, if desired.
Gch means that the knob will transmit on the Global
MIDI Channel, as set in Global mode. This allows you
to re-direct any number of sliders, knobs, switches, and
pads to a different channel at once, without editing the
individual controls.
CC# Assign (1–8) [Off, 000…119]
This read-only parameter shows the MIDI CC sent by
the knob.
Value (1–8) [000…127]
This is the current value of the knob’s MIDI CC.
Switches 1–16
MIDI Channel (1–16) [01…16, Gch]
This read-only parameter shows the MIDI Channel for
the switch. Each can send on a different channel, if
desired.
Gch means that the slider will transmit on the Global
MIDI Channel, as set in Global mode.
CC# Assign (1–16) [Off, 000…119]
This read-only parameter shows the MIDI CC sent by
the switch.
Switch On/Off (1–16) [Off, On]
This is the current value of the switch’s MIDI CC.
When the switch is turned on, it sends a value of 127;
when it is turned off, it sends a value of 0.
Sliders 1–8 & Master Slider
MIDI Channel (1–8) [01…16, Gch]
This read-only parameter shows the MIDI Channel for
the slider. Each can send on a different channel, if
desired.
Gch means that the slider will transmit on the Global
MIDI Channel, as set in Global mode.
