Connecting an external MIDI sequencer or computer etc.
If you want to record your performance on the microKORG XL’s keyboard
into your external MIDI sequencer/computer (via a MIDI interface), or use
the microKORG XL as a combination of controller keyboard and MIDI
sound module, or use the Editor/Librarian software included with the
microKORG XL, then you’ll need to connect the microKORG XL’s MIDI
OUT and MIDI IN connectors to the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT connectors
respectively of your external MIDI sequencer or computer.
MIDI interface devices may be unable
to transmit or receive the
microKORG XL’
s MIDI exclusive messages.

Connecting the microKORG XL to your computer via USB
As an alternate way of connecting the microKORG XL to your computer in
the situations described above, you can use a USB cable if your computer
has a USB connector. Since a USB connection sends the data faster than
when using MIDI cables and a MIDI interface, we recommend a USB con-
nection if you’re going to be using the PC editor software.
NOTE
In order to use a USB connection, you must install the Korg USB-MIDI
driver in your computer. Download the Korg USB-MIDI driver from the
Korg website, and install it as directed by the accompanying documenta-
tion.
If either the MIDI connection or the USB connection does not work,
you should also check the “ROUTING” setting (J p. 59) in the MIDI
page.
MIDI-related settings
MIDI channel setting
In order to exchange data with a connected external MIDI device, you must
set the microKORG XL’s MIDI channel to match the MIDI channel of the
external MIDI device.
Setting the microKORG XL’s MIDI channel
1. Use knob [1] to select the MIDI page.
2. Use knob [2] to select “MIDI CH,” and then use knob [3] to specify the MIDI
chann
el.
3. Set the MIDI channel of the connected external MIDI device.
NOTE
For details on how to set the MIDI channel of the external MIDI device,
refer to the owner’s manual of the connected device.
Using the microKORG XL as a multi-timbral sound module
You can specify a different MIDI channel for each of the microKORG XL’s
two timbres and use it as a multi-timbral sound module from a connected
external MIDI sequencer.
1. Use knob [1] to select the COMMON page.
2. Use knob [2] to select “VOIC.MODE,” and then use knob [3] to select
“MUL
TI.”
3. Specify the MIDI channel for timbre 2.
After you’ve set VOIC.MODE to MULTI, you can turn knob [2] to select the
“T2.MI
DICH” parameter.
Use knob [3] to specify the MIDI channel for timbre 2.
4. To set the MIDI channel for timbre 1, select the MIDI page “MIDI CH”
p
arameter, and use knob [3].
5. Set the MIDI channel of the connected external MIDI device.
GLOBAL “POSITION” setting
The microKORG XL’s GLOBAL “POSITION” lets you specify how MIDI IN/
OUT will be internally routed. This will affect how the MIDI data will be
affected by the “TRANSPOS,” “VEL.CURVE,” and arpeggiator settings.
• Normally when controlling an external MIDI tone generator from the
micr
oKORG XL, you will set “POSITION” to POST KBD. The various set-
tings listed above will affect the MIDI d
ata that is transmitted. The received
data will be processed as “TRANSPOS”: 0, “VEL.CURVE”: 4.
