4. Playing using the SQ-1
Connecting the SQ-1
Using the included ø3.5 mm patch cables (monaural mini plug)
and ø6.3 mm patch cables (monaural standard plug), connect
the SQ-1.
1.
Connect the CV-A OUT jack of the SQ-1 to the mini-phone
JUNCTION jack of the MS-20M. Connect the standard
JUNCTION jack and the VCO 1+2 CV IN (V/Oct) jack in
the MS-20M.
2.
Connect the CV-A GATE jack of the SQ-1 to the mini-
phone JUNCTION jack of the MS-20M. Connect the stan-
dard JUNCTION jack and the +5V~+15V TRIG IN jack in
the MS-20M.
TIP There are two TRIG IN jacks on the MS-20M Kit: V-Trig (voltage
trigger) and S-Trig (switch trigger). As the factory default of this
assembly, connect the SQ-1 to the V-Trig jack.
Specifying SQ-1 settings
Set the CV A RANGE on the SQ-1 to 5 V. For details on the
other settings, refer to the Owner's Manual for the SQ-1.
Playing the SQ-1
Press the
button on the SQ-1 to operate the sequencer.
For details on the various settings of the SQ-1, refer to its Own-
er's Manual.
5. Creating sound
The procedures for creating sound using new functions not
available on the original MS-20 are described below. Sound cre-
ation basics will be described. Refer to the original Owner's
Manual and the setting chart to create various sounds using the
new functions.
Syncing the oscillators
Refer to "Normal Setting" and adjust the knobs.
Set the SCALE knob of VCO 1 to 16', and the SCALE knob of
VCO2 to 4'. Set the SYNC VCO 1 → VCO 2 ON/OFF switch to
ON.
VCO 2 is synchronized with the frequency of VCO 1. Turn the
PITCH knob of VCO 2 to hear how the sound changes.
Using frequency modulation of an oscillator (VCO 2)
Set the FM VCO 1 → VCO 2 ON/OFF switch to ON.
The frequency of VCO 2 is modulated with the frequency of
VCO 1. Adjust the modulation depth with the MG/T.EXT knob of
FREQUENCY MODULATION.
Turn the PITCH knob of VCO 2 to hear how the sound changes.
TIP If the FM VCO 1 → VCO 2 ON/OFF switch is set to ON and the
MG/T.EXT knob of FREQUENCY MODULATION is set to 0,
modulation can be applied to only VCO2 with EG1.

6. About MIDI
The MIDI IN connector and USB port on the MS-20M Kit are
some of the main differences between it and the original MS-20.
By connecting the MS-20M Kit to a computer, you can perform
with it while using a sequencer.
Connecting MIDI devices
In order to transmit/receive MIDI information, you can use com-
mercially available MIDI cables. Connect the MIDI connector of
the MS-20M Kit to the MIDI connector of the external MIDI de-
vice where information will be exchanged.
TIP The range of note numbers produced as Note On messages is
between 12 (C0) and 91 (G6). Sound is not produced with note
numbers outside of this range. Since the MS-20M produces
sounds while giving priority to high notes, if a note number of 92
or more is received, the message will become invalid, and
the sound being produced will stop. However, the sound being
produced will continue if a note number of 11 or less is received.
Setting the MIDI channel
1.
Check that no patch cords are connected to any jack.
2.
Connect a patch cable to the OUT jack of MVCA (MODU-
LATION VOLTAGE CONTROLLED AMPLIFIER). The oth-
er end is not connected to anything.
3.
While holding down the TRIG SW button, turn on the MS-
20M.
4.
While the STANDBY ON LED blinks, press the TRIG SW
button the number of times corresponding to the desired
channel setting. If the button is pressed 16 or more times,
the channel will be set to 16. STANDBY ON LED repeated-
ly blinks the number of times corresponding to the channel
setting. For example, the LED repeatedly blinks "* * -- (on,
on, off)" for MIDI channel 2 and "* * * -- (on, on, on, off)" for
channel 3.
This process can be repeated to change the setting as
needed. As the factory default, the setting is channel 1.
5.
Check the blinking pattern of the STANDBY ON LED and,
if the setting is correct, disconnect the patch cable from the
MVCA OUT jack. The specified MIDI channel is saved, and
the MS-20M is automatically turned off.
6.
When the MS-20M is turned on again, it will use the speci-
fied MIDI channel.
TIP The MIDI channel setting is saved, even when the MS-20M is
turned off.
TIP When changing the setting, do not turn off the MS-20M before
disconnecting the patch cable from the MVCA OUT jack. Other-
wise, data may be corrupted or the device may be damaged.
Connecting a computer
Use a USB cable to directly connect the MS-20M Kit to a com-
puter equipped with a USB port in order to receive MIDI mes-
sages in the same way as with the MIDI connectors.
The only MIDI messages that can be received at the USB port
of the MS-20M are note messages (Velocity is disabled) re-
ceived on the specified MIDI channel. In addition, the only MIDI
messages that can be transmitted are note messages (C3 and
Velocity at 64) transmitted when the TRIG SW button is pressed.
TIP When connecting via USB, the KORG USB-MIDI driver must be
installed. Download the KORG USB-MIDI driver from the Korg
Web site (http://www.korg.com/), and then install it according to
the instructions in the document included with the driver.
