Before You Begin

Location

To prevent damage to the instrument electronics, do not use or store it for extended periods where it may be exposed to:

■ direct sunlight ■ extreme temperature or humidity

■ sand or dust ■ excessive vibration

Power Supply

9 Only connect the instrument to electrical outlets match

ing Üie specifications on the name plate at the rear of ttie unit.

Note: If necessary, add the appropriate step-up or stepdown transformer. Connecting to the wrong polarity or voltage can irreparably damage the instrument

9 To help prevent noise and poor sound quality, avoid con

necting the instrument to the same electrical circuit as mo tors or large appliances.

For the same reasons, never overload the electrical circuit

with too many extension cords.

Always start with the volume at a low level and gradu

ally increase it-especially when the instrument is con nected to external equipment.

Interference

To minimize the risk of radio-frequency interference:

Keep the instrument away from fluorescent light fixtures

and other sources of radio-frequency noise that may dis rupt operation of the instrument’s main microprocessor.

Never use the instrument in the immediate vicinity of a

radio, television set, or similar equipment, as the equip

ment may pick up radio-frequency noise from the micro

processor.

If operation becomes erratic or unpredictable or the in

strument fails to respond, reset the micro-processor by turning off the instrument, waiting a few seconds and then turning it on again.

Rear Connections

Only use jacks and connectors matching the corresponding connectors available at the rear of the instrument.

Handling

Never apply excessive force to keys, switches, terminals

and other components.

Avoid dropping the instrument.

Treatment of the Stand

If you use the stand for long periods of time, the screws may become loose. For safety, retighten the screws if you notice significant shaking during use or if you move the stand to another place (see "Assembling the stand").

Cleaning

Wipe the exterior of the instrument with a clean, dry cloth

to remove dust and dirt,

Never use harsh cleanser, organic solvents, or flammable

polishes.

Foreign Objects

Do not place vases or beverage containers on the instru

ment. Liquid spills may cause fire or electrical shock, as well as cause permanent damage to the instrument.

Care should be taken so that metal objects such as pins

and coins do not fall into the enclosure through openings between keys.

if any of the above has occurred, turn off the power, un plug the power cord from the outlet and contact your dealer or a KORG service center.

Warranty

Have your warranty card validated at the place of purchase and keep it in a safe place until the warranty period expires.

Manual

This manual is your guide to using the instrument properly and effectively. Keep it in a safe place.

Features

Six voices

The piano’s "AP Synthesis System" produces six realistic voices: concert piano, electric piano, harpsichord, vibes, organ, and strings.

Digital effects

Set the reverberation effects to simulate a large concert hall. Add modulation effects to obtain a wider sound.

Voice combinations

Use the LAYER mode to play two different voices at the same time.

Pedal effects

Damper, sostenuto, and soft pedals work in the same was as the

corresponding pedals on an acoustic piano. Only C-350: The damper pedal on the C-350 includes a reso

nance feature that simulates the resonance effect of an acoustic damper pedal

Built-in metronome

Use the metronome to set both meter and tempo. Metronome volume is adjustable, and you can select a bell sound for the accented beat.

Recorder

Use the piano's built-in recorder to record and play back your performances.

Touch control

The piano offers three levels of keyboard response. Select the level by pressing the appropriate TOUCH key combination.

Premodem temperaments

in addition to the modem Equal temperament (tuning), your piano also offers the premodem Kimberger and Werckmeister temperaments. Select either of these temperaments to accurately reproduce the sound of a premodem keyboard instrument.

Transposition and tuning

Use the transposition function to transpose any key into any other. Use the tuning function to make fine adjustments in pitch.

MIDI

Your piano comes equipped with the industry-standard "Musi

cal instmment Digital Interface." You can use MIDI to connect your piano to computers and other electronic instruments. Your piano can drive and be driven by external devices. The piano’s "MIDI Muitivoice function" allows external input to drive up to four of the piano’s voices at the same time.

The Backup Battery

Your piano’s backup battery enables the memory to retain re corder data and various settings even while the piano's power is off. If the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION] lamp begins blinking when you switch on the piano, it is time to change the battery. For instructions, refer to your nearest service center or dealer.

To switch the lamp off, press the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION] switch.

4. Using Pedals

The left pedal on the C-150 can function as either a soft pedal or a sostenuto pedal.

DAMPER

This pedal simulates the effect of a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, small felts, called dampers, are lifted from the strings. This allows all strings to vibrate, whether the key for those strings has been struck or not. When the pedal is released, strings vibrating without keys depressed are damped.

(C-350 only) If the Surround parameter is set to "Off", pressing the

damper pedal produces an effect that simulates the

sound of an acoustic piano's resonating strings, when

the PIANO voice is selected.

SOFT

This pedal simulates the effect of a soft pedal on an acoustic piano. When the pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, the sound produced is softer, as the hammers strike one fewer string per key,

SOSTENUTO

This pedal simulates the effect of a sostenuto pedal on an acoustic piano. When this pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, dampers for keys depressed when the pedal is depressed are suspended above the strings until the pedal is released. This allows certain

strings to vibrate freely while other strings are struck and damped by depressing and releasing keys.

5. Using the Built-In Metronome

The instrument has a built-in metronome. It is capable

of accenting particular beats, or groups of beats. This feature allows the metronome to keep time in differ

ent meters.

Note: The metronome sounds through the built-in speak

ers and headphones.

9. Changing Temperaments

In recent history, musical instruments have used a tuning system, or temperament, that divides an oc tave (for example, C4 to C5) into 12 equal steps, called half-steps or semitones. Before the 19th century, how ever, musical instruments made use of many differ ent temperaments that were based on scales with dif ferent sized semitones.

The C-350/C-150 voices can be assigned to an alter nate temperament for realistic performance of early music. The two alternate temperaments are:

• Kirnberger # Werckmeister

Selecting the temperament

Hold down [TOUCH] switch and press either [ORGAN] or [STRINGS] switch.

To return to original tuning

Hold down [TOUCH] switch and press

[RECORD] switch and [START/STOP] switch at

the same time to return to the normal tuning

(A4=440Hz).

Note: The temperament setting remains in effect through

all subsequent use of the instrument until you change it or turn it off. When the power is turned on, the instrument begins with the Equal Tempera

ment setting.

Note: To obtain a more realistic piano sound, equal tem

perament in the PIANO voice is not exactly equal — the lower ranges are slightly lowered in pitch, and the higher ranges slightly raised. The effect approximates the "stretch tuning" technique used on

acoustic pianos.

MIDi (IN/OUT);

These DIN connectors accept optional MIDI cables for connecting the instrument to synthesizers, se quencers, and other MIDI devices. In addition, the connectors are for exchanging performance and other types of data.

2. Connecting MIDI device

■ What is MIDI

MIDI, or the '^Musical Instrument Digital Interface," is the internationally recognized standard for con necting and passing data among electronic musical instruments, computers, and other electronic equip ment.

■ What can MIDI do?

MIDI enables you to drive other instruments from the C-350/C-150, to drive the C-350/C-150 from other instruments or devices, and to store performance data to external media. Using MIDI, you can play the C350/C-150 and have all your keyboard action, pedal action. And voice selections reproduced on an exter nal instrument. Or you can go the other way, using an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer to control the C-350/C-150. You can copy data from the C-350/ C-150 recorder to an external data filer, and recall the data later when you want to replay it. And there are various other functions available to you as well.

PC (TO HOSTl (C-350 only):

Used to connect the piano to a PC. See page 22 for more information.

PC/MIDl switch (C-350 only}:

Selects use of either the MIDI connectors or the PC (TO HOST) connector.

Note: Never change the PC/MIDi setting while power is

ON. Always switch off power before changing the setting.

Note: Never try to use the PC (TO HOST) connector and

the MIDI connectors at the same time, if the switch is set to PC, use PC (TO HOST) only; if it is set to MIDI, then use MIDI connectors only. Using the in correct connector may cause the connected device to malfunction.

■ Connection

Connection is made by special MIDI cables. These cables connect into the MIDI terminals provided oh all MIDI devices. There are two terminal types, as described below. The terminals on the C-350/C-150 are located on the rear panel.

Note: (C-350 only) Be sure to use MIDI cables when using

the MIDI feature (when the PC/MIDI switch is set to MIDI).

Note: (C-350 only) Remember that you should switch the

power off before changing the PC/MIDI switch to the MIDI side. Set the switch, then turn the power back on.

MIDI IN

Receives MIDI data from an externa! keyboard, se

quencer, or other MIDI device. The received data drives the C-350/C-150, causing it to produce sound. A MIDI cable runs from this terminal to the MIDI OUT terminal on the external device.

MIDI OUT

Transmits MIDI data to an external device. A MIDI:

cable runs from this terminal to the MIDI IN termi

nal on the external device. Use this terminal when you want your playing on the C-350/C-150 keyboard

to drive the sound of an external keyboard, or when .

you want to record it into a sequencer or other com

puterized device.

2. Connecting MIDI device

■ Changing the LOCAL ON/OFF Setting

The LOCAL ON/OFF setting allows you to use the instrument as a "silent"' MIDI controller. When LO CAL is set to OFF, the instrument's internal voices will not sound-only the sounds of the connected MIDI devices will be heard.

Note: When the power is turned on, the instrument de

faults to LOCAL Mode ON.

■ MIDI Default Values

When the power is turned on, the instrument defaults

to the following MIDI settings.

MIDI transmission channel

1 MIDI receiving channel 1 LOCAL ON PROGRAM CHANGE ON CONTROL CHANGE ON

■ Changing the MIDI Transmit Channel

The MIDI standard provides 16 separate channels for the transmission of performance data. MIDI master keyboards (controllers) can therefore control up to 16 individual slaves (or groups of slaves acting in uni

son) by sending channel messages. Performance data

messages always include a channel number. Each device on the network reads all messages, but only responds to messages that match the connected instrument's MIDI receive channel.

Selecting o MIDI channel

To change the MIDI transmit channel, hold down the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION] switch and press the appropriate key between C2 and D#3.

■ Sending PROGRAM CHANGE Requests

A PROGRAM CHANGE request is a channel message

that asks devices on that channel to change the sound that they are playing.

Note; The definition of "program" varies widely between

MIDI devices. To verify terminology, consult the manual for the device being controlled.

Using [VOICE SELECTOR]

When the [VOICE SELECTOR] is used to select the

voices for the Single and Layer modes, MIDI Program Numbers 0 to 20 are transmitted using the format shown in the table on page .

Note: The above procedure always transmits a PROGRAM

CHANGE request, regardless of the PROGRAM CHANGE CANCEL setting. {See "inhibiting PRO GRAM CHANGE Requests" below.)

inhibiting PROGRAM CHANGE Requests

When the PROGRAM CHANGE function is set to OFF, all incoming and outgoing PROGRAM CHANGE messages are ignored.

Note: This function does not affect selection of internal

voices from the front panel [VOICE SELECTOR]

■ MIDI Multivoice Function

The C-350/C-150 can receive data from up to four MIDI channels at once: the MIDI channel you have selected, plus the next three channels in succession. This means that you can use an external sequencer to drive up to four of the piano’s voices at the same time.

When you are using this multivoice function, the se lected channel drives the selected voice (the voice selected by the [VOICE SELECTOR]), while the next three channels drive the PIANO, E.PIANO, and HARPS! voices, respectively. If you have set the MIDI channel to 1, for example, the data coming in on chan nel 1 drives the selected voice, while channel 2 drives the PIANO voice, channel 3 the E.PIANO voice, and channel 4 the HARPSI voice. The following table shows the voice/channel correspondence for all MIDI channel settings.

M Using the MIDI Data Dump Function

The MIDI DATA DUMP function is used to copy data from the built-in recorder to a MIDI data filer, a de vice used for storing MIDI data.

Note; The term "MIDI data filer" applies to both hardware

and software devices,

A common data filer application is backing up data

— in other words, copying the current recorder data

to the filer so that you can always get the original data back after editing or deleting the data in the re corder. For further details, consult the manual in

cluded with your data filer.

Saving Data to the Data Filer

Connect the MIDI OUT jack on the piano to the MIDI IN jack on the external device with a MIDI cable.

Note: Consult the manual included with the data filer for

the necessary procedures.

Hold down the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION]

switch and press the [STRINGS! switch to start

transmission.

The [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION] and [STRINGS]

lamps begin blinking, indicating that the piano is ready to transmit.

Press [START/STOP] switch to begin transmis sion.

The [START/STOP] lamp blinks to indicate that transmission is in progress. When the data dump is finished, the lamp goes off and the piano returns to normal operating mode.

loading Data from the Data Filer

Connect the MIDI OUT jack on the external device to the MIDI IN jack on the piano with a MID I c a bl e.

Turn on the power of both units.

The [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION] and [STRINGS] lamps begin blinking, indicating that the piano is

ready to receive.

Note: The piano keyboard and panel will remain inopera

tive until the transmission is complete.

Note: Changes made in the pedal settings cannot be stored

in the data filer. (Refer to the section, "Using the Pedals with LAYER Mode".)

Set up the data filer to transmit the previouslystored piano data.

Note; As there is considerable variation between data fil

ers, consult the manual included with the data filer for additional procedures.

Wait for the data filer to indicate the end of the transmission. (Never interrupt either the piano or the data filer while they are working, since such interruptions can cause errors in data trans mission.)

Set the data filer to transmit the stored piano data.

Consult the data filer's operation manual for instruc

tions.

The piano's [RECORD] lamp blinks to indicate that

data reception is in progress. When reception is fin ished, the lamp goes off and the piano returns to normal operating mode.

ager and PatchBay must already be installed. Use the Apple MIDI Manager and PatchBay that are included with the MIDI application that you are using. They are not included with the AG-002B,

When the Korg MIDI Driver is used, the ^'Modern MIDI Out/Port settings"' dialog box allows you to specify the MIDI channels and types of messages that

will be sent to the C-350. If you do not require this

function, you can simply use the Apple MIDI Driver without using the Korg MIDI Driver. When using the Apple MIDI Driver or when using a MIDI applica

tion (sequencer) which does not use the Apple MIDI

Driver, refer to page 26 .

Copy the Korg MIDI Driver from the disk in

cluded with the AG-002B into the system folder of the start-up drive.

About the MIDI File Translator included with the AG-002

Most commercially available Standard MIDI File (SMF) song files are saved in MS-DOS format. The MIDI File Translator included with the.AG-002B is a translator program for Apple File Exchange that con

verts MS-DOS SMF song files into a form that

Macintosh MIDI applications can recognize as SMF files.

1. Put the MIDI File Translator into the Apple File Exchange folder.

Using PC Exchange to convert SMF data

If Apple File Exchange is not included with youri Macintosh system, you can use PC Exchange to con-^ vert MS-DOS format SMF song files so that they can ; be recognized by the Macintosh. >

2. Click the [Add...] button, | The [Specify application for DOS extension] window|

will appear.

3. Input "MID" for the DOS extension item. MS-DOS uses a filename extension consisting of a|

period and three characters to distinguish different! types of files. It is usual to assign an extension of ".MID" to SMF files, |

4. From the list that appears in the lower part of the dialog box, select a MIDI application (sequencer)l that can use SMF data. |

The icon selected for the application item will ap pear. 1

Now select a MIDI application (sequencer) that cani use SMF data, and that software will be able to open SMF song files.

5. From the [Document type] popup menu choose

[MIDI] and dick the [OK] button.

The item added to the PC Exchange window will be displayed, and has been registered.

Now you can insert an MS-DOS SMF disk into the disk drive and use it as is. I

2« Assembling the Stand

Use the following procedure to assemble your ST-350 or ST-150. The assembly procedure for both models is the same; the only external difference is the num ber of pedals. The illustrations below are based on the appearance of the ST-350 (three pedals).

Caution

Two or more people are required to assemble the

piano unit. When attaching the piano to the stand, be careful

not to let go of it. Make sure you do not mistaken the type or direc

tion of each part. Follow the assembly procedures

carefully during assembly.

If too much force is applied to the front before fas tening it with the mounting screws, the piano could fall off the stand.

You will need a Phillips head screw driver to

tighten the screws.

For assembly, you must place the back of the » stand on a smooth surface such as the floor, as

shown in the diagram below. Assemble the Side |

Panel (Left) (T) and the Side Panel (Right) (5) to | the Pedal Box (|) using the 4 assembly screws |

Caution

Cautions when Moving

Please disconnect the piano from the stand and move them separately. After moving, reconnect according to these instructions. Also, be careful of the follow

ing points when moving the piano.

• Wind up the power cord in a small bundle. If it is left to dangle, the cord could catch on some other object and be cut, and could cause short cir cuits or other damage.

• Be careful that the pedal cord doesn’t catch on a

door knob or other object during moving.

Loose Screws After

if period of time passes after assembly, the screws

holding the parts of the stand together may become

loose, causing the stand to wobble. If this happen,

re-tighten each screw.

Disossembly

To disassemble the piano and the stand assembly, fol low the assembly procedure in reverse order. After disassembly, keep the screws and other parts so that they do not get lost. To disconnect the pedal cord, pull on the cord con

nector while pressing the little tab (O) on the con nector. Do not exert too much force on the cord, since it could break.

4. Trouble Shooting

If the following problems develop during normal op eration of the instrument follow the suggestions below and check the unit to identify and correct the problem. If the instrument still does not function properly, con sult your dealer or a KORG service center.

Power dose not turn on

• Is the power cable connected to an AC outlet?

•Is the power switch on? If the problem is still not resolved, contact a Korg dealer.

No sound

•Is the [MASTER VOLUME] slider of the C-350/150 raised?

•Is the headphone jack in use?

•Make sure that the Local setting is ON.

Sound does not change

•Turn off the [DEMO] switch.

Sound is interrupted

•The sounds of the C-350/C-150 are produced by samples (recordings) of original instrumental sounds. For some sounds, pressing a note will play one sample, and for other sounds, two samples. The

[PIANO] sound use two samples. When this sound is selected, the maximum number of notes which can be played simultaneously will be 16, including notes held by the damper pedal. For other sounds, the maximum number of simultaneous notes will be 32. If you are using a Layer to play two sounds simul taneously, the maximum number of simultaneous notes will depend on whether the sounds use one

or two samples. For example, the maximum num ber of simultaneous notes is 10 if you are playing

the PIANO voice in combination with some other voice.

The pitch or tone of a piano sound appears in

correct in a particular range.

♦The piano sounds on this instrument have been cre

ated with the intent of reproducing the actual sounds of a piano as faithfully as possible.

•This means that in some pitch ranges, it may sound as though overtones are emphasized differently, or

that a certain pitch or range sounds incorrect, but

this is not a malfunction.

Pedal does not work correctly

•Has the pedal connector been disconnected?

Sostenuto pedal effect does not work

• Has the pedal connector been disconnected?

• If model C-150: Check the pedal setting.

Cannot record

•Is there sufficient free space in the recorder?

Does not respond to transmitted MID! data

•Make sure that all MIDI cables are connected correctly.

•Make sure that the C-350/150 is receiving data on the same channel as the transmitting device is using.
