MIDI IN devices
MIDI IN Port
MIDI messages received by the KONTROL49’s MIDI IN connector are sent to
the computer via this port. If you are using the KONTROL49 as a USB-MIDI
interface, select this port in your MIDI software to receive input from external
MIDI gear, such as other synthesizers, external sequencers, and so on.
Ports A and B
MIDI messages from the KONTROL49’s keyboard, sliders, encoders, and
other controllers will be sent via these ports. The settings in the USB-MIDI
Port setting page determine which port is used by each group of controllers.
You may find it convenient to use port A for the keyboard and port B for the
encoders, sliders, and other controllers.
If you want to control your computer application from the KONTROL49,
select one of these ports as the application’s remote control MIDI input port.

KONTROL49’s MIDI OUT B connector, without change.
Select this port as the MIDI output port in your application if you want to
use the KONTROL49 as a USB-MIDI interface, to transmit MIDI messages
from your computer application to an external device.
Dedicated port (CTRL)
This is only used to transmit/receive data dumps in the native mode. For
details, see “Appendices–About native Korg mode” (☞p.58).
