14).

page

Pitch bend wheel

Moving the pitch bend wheel up and down while playing controls the pitch of notes played. Moving the wheel up causes the pitch to rise, while moving the wheel down causes the pitch to fall. The wheel will move back to center position when released. The pitch bend wheel may control other aspects of the sound besides pitch, depending on the program. Refer to the program list in the “Sound Name List” for the functions that are set.

Modulation wheel

Moving the modulation wheel up and down while playing controls the depth of the modulation set for each sound. Moving the wheel up strengthens the effect that is set, and moving the wheel all the way down turns the effect off. The modulation wheel remains in the position where you move it, and the effect remains the same. Refer to the program list in the “Sound Name List” for the functions that are set.

SW1, SW2

These buttons can be turned on or off to control the sound while you play . The functions that can be controlled are effectively set for the sound of each program. SW1 mainly controls the tone, and SW2 mainly controls whether the effect is on/off. Refer to the program list in the “Sound Name List” for the functions that are set.

Note:

The on and off settings for SW1 and SW2 can be saved as favorites.

With split and layered sounds, this can only be used to control the KEYBOARDS section side.

FOOT CONTROLLERS

You can control the sound of the Grandstage using the foot pedals

connected to each foot controller jack. Note that the polarity and variable range for each pedal must be adjusted as necessary (refer

to “Calibrating the pedal” on page

DS-1H

DAMPER jack

Connect the damper pedal (DS-1H) included with the Grandstage. This is used to make sounds sustain after removing your hands from the keys, for a piano damper effect. When connecting the DS-1H pedal, this functions as a halfdamper pedal. This will allow for more delicate damper control of piano and electric piano sounds on this keyboard. When a switch-type pedal is connected, the pedal will act as a damper switch.

SWITCH jack

Connect an optional PS-1, PS-3 or other foot switch (sold

separately) to this jack for on/off switching. This allows you to

switch between favorites, as well as control sounds and effects. The functions for the foot switches are set in the system settings (refer to “Foot - Switch (foot switch functions)” on page 17). The factory-set default settings are front panel and SW2 button on/off (CC#81).

PEDAL jack

Used to connect an optional XVP-20 or XVP-10 expression/ volume pedal, or an EXP-2 foot controller. This is used to control the overall volume and effects. The functions for the foot switches are set in the system settings (refer to “Foot - Pedal (foot pedal functions)” on page The pedal is set to control the overall volume of the Grandstage by factory-set default using expression (CC#1 However, for preloaded programs that include the pedal wah effect, the pedal is automatically set to control the wow effect.

Adjusting the dynamics and equalizer

Panel lock on (wheels, knobs and buttons that can be used)

Dynamics

This adjusts how the volume and tone will be changed in

response to how hard the keys are played (velocity) on the Grandstage. Pressing the button to turn DYNAMICS on (the button will light) will activate the knob settings.

Turning the knob to the left will cause the sound to play softer in response to the strength of the keys played.

This is good for playing highly inected passages from

pianissimo (very soft) to fortissimo (very loud), such as solo piano or in band ensembles.

Turning the knob to the right will cause the sound to play louder in response to the strength of the keys played.

This is good for generally making your sound stand out when playing backing parts in a band ensemble, or when playing a solo.

The DYNAMICS eect will not be applied when the knob is in center position.

For layered and split sounds, the dynamics effect will be applied to both sounds.

Note:

Equalizer

The overall audio output characteristics can be adjusted using the

three equalizer faders, LOW, MID and HIGH. Pressing the button to turn the equalizer on (the button will light) will activate the slider settings. The equalizer effect will be applied to all sounds in the same way, regardless of favorite or program.

The effect controlled may differ, depending on the program. The dynamics will have no effect on programs that do not change in volume or tone with velocity, such as organ sounds or some synth sounds.

Dynamics settings cannot be saved to the favorites. Dynamics will always be off when turning on the Grandstage. Turning DYNAMICS on will cause the effect to be applied, according to the position of the knob.

The effect will be applied according to the velocity curve (see page

16) that is set.

Transpose and panel lock

Transpose

By changing (transposing) the key in semitones, you can play using fewer black keys, or play along with other instruments

that may be in different keys, while still using the ngering you

previously memorized.

Setting the transpose feature

While holding down the TRANSPOSE button, press a key from C3 to B3 to transpose the keyboard down in semitones, or press a key from C a maximum of one octave in either direction. The TRANSPOSE button will light when the keyboard is transposed. The display in the KEYBOARDS section will show the transpose value while the TRANSPOSE button is being held.

Cancelling the transpose feature

Press the lighted TRANSPOSE button. The button will go dark, and the transpose feature will be cancelled.

Note:

Panel lock

The Grandstage features a Panel Lock function to prevent the sounds and programs on the panel from accidentally being changed by hitting the wrong button or knob while playing. When this function is turned on, all buttons and knobs on the panel will be “frozen” and will not respond, except for the pitch bend wheel, modulation wheel, MASTER VOLUME knob, SW1 and SW2 buttons, and the EXIT button.

Octave

Sets the pitch of the Grandstage in octaves. The setting range is ±3 octaves.

Use this when adjusting the pitch balance between two different

programs when setting layers or split sounds. The value is “0” when this function is not used.

Tune

Sets the pitch of the Grandstage in cents (1 semitone=100 cents).

The pitch is adjustable within a range of ±100 cents. For instance, this could be used when ne-tuning the pitch

between layered sounds in a program, to create a thicker sound. The value is “0” when this function is not used.

Release

This adjusts the release times for the program.

Specify the time from note-off until the sound fades to silence. The value is set to “0” when this function is not used. This is a value that is relative to the actual release time for each program. A value of “0” means that the release time will be the same as the program parameters. Negative values make shorter release times, and positive values make longer release times.

Sound parameters 1–4

Adjusts the sound parameters of a program.

The editable parameters differ for each program. There are a maximum of four sound parameters already set in each sound, to

allow the sound to be effectively adjusted.

Reverb Send

This adjusts the send level to output from the program, into the

REVERB/DELAY section. Normally, this is set to 0 db, and the reverb and delay volume are

adjusted using the DEPTH knob in the REVERB/DELAY section.

To balance the volume between the programs of the two sections

and the reverb/delay when in layer or split mode, adjust the

Reverb Send value. For instance, you can apply a deep reverb to the piano sound, and apply no reverb to the bass sound. If the input level of the REVERB/DELAY section is too loud, the reverb or delay sound may distort. If this happens, lower the Reverb Send value, so that the sound does not distort.

Damper

This sets whether the damper effect is enabled (on) or disabled (off). Normally, the setting is enabled. When turning off the Damper function for one of the sections when using split or layered sound, make the setting in each section. For example, if you are using a split sound, you can enable the Damper function for the piano sound, but disable the Damper function for the bass sound.

Other Controls

This sets whether other controllers shown below are enabled (on) or disabled (off).

Note:

N bend or the expression pedal function for only one of the sounds in split or layered sound, make the setting in each section.

For example, when using layered sound, the volume control

using the expression pedal function can be enabled for just the

piano sound or the strings sound. Another example is when you are using a split sound, you can disable the pitch bend function for the piano sound, but enable it for the synth lead sound or bass sound.

Controllers cannot be individually enabled or disabled.

System setting parameters

Master Tune

Sets the tuning for the entire keyboard. Tuning can be set in cents (1 semitone=100 cents), within a range of ±50 cents (427.47... 440...452.89Hz). The default setting is “+0”, or 440Hz (the frequency for A4).

MIDI Channel

Species the MIDI channels on which the Grandstage will

transmit and receive (from 1–16).

Soft

127

Strong

The default setting is “1”. Download and refer to the “Grandstage 88/73 MIDI Guide” (PDF) for details.

MIDI Ch Mode (MIDI channel mode)

This selects the MIDI channel mode used by the Grandstage to transmit and receive MIDI data. Global Only: Uses only the channels set in “MIDI Channel”. When playing in layered or split mode, this keyboard will transmit and receive on only one channel. U/L Individual (Upper/Lower Individual): the channels set using the “MIDI Channel” and “MIDI Ch (Lower)” settings will be used to transmit and receive MIDI data for the KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE sections. The default setting is “Global Only”. Download and refer to the “Grandstage 88/73 MIDI Guide” (PDF) for details.

MIDI Ch (Lower) (MIDI channel for the lower part)

This setting is enabled when the MIDI Ch Mode is set to

“U/L Individual”. This species the MIDI channels on which the

Grandstage will transmit and receive (from 1–16) on the lower ENSEMBLE section note range. The default setting is “2”. Download and refer to the “Grandstage 88/73 MIDI Guide” (PDF) for details.

Local Control (MIDI local control)

Set whether the Grandstage’s own keyboard, wheels and other controls will control the Grandstage’s sound engine (On), or whether the Grandstage’s own keyboard will only be used to output MIDI messages to external devices, without controlling the Grandstage’s sound engine (Off). Normally, this is “On” when playing the Grandstage by itself. The default setting is “On”. Download and refer to the “Grandstage 88/73 MIDI Guide” (PDF) for details.

Velocity Curve

This sets how the volume and tone will be changed in response to the keyboard velocity (how hard the keys are played) on the Grandstage. The default setting is “4 (Normal)”.

Value Details

1 (Heavy), 2, 3 These curves produce an eect when you play

strongly. 4 (Normal) This is the typical curve. 5, 6 These curves let you produce dynamic change

without having to play very hard. 7 This curve provides a at eect when playing

softly. 8 (Light) This curve provides an even more at eect

when playing softly. 9 (Wide) This curve produces an even softer response

when playing softly compared to the typical

curve #4.

Convert Position

This species the position at which the transposition and velocity

curve will apply. The setting has an effect on MIDI data that is transmitted and received.

Note:

The transpose value is set from the TRANSPOSE button (see page 11).

Pre-MIDI: Transposes and applies the velocity curve to data immediately after it is outputted from the keyboard.

Post-MIDI: Transposes and applies the velocity curve to data before it enters the sound generator.

This setting does not have an effect when playing the Grandstage’s own sounds using this keyboard. The default setting is “Pre-MIDI”. Download and refer to the “Grandstage 88/73 MIDI Guide” (PDF) for details.

Auto Power O

When a set period of time has passed without playing the keys, turning the knobs or pressing the buttons on this keyboard, the power is automatically turned off. This is called “auto power off”. Select a setting of either “Disabled” or “4 Hours”. The default setting is “4 Hours”, which means that the power will automatically turn off if the Grandstage is not used for four hours.

Brightness (display brightness)

Sets the display brightness for each display corresponding to the two sections on the front panel. The setting range is from 1–10, and the default setting is “8”.

Continuing to use the Grandstage while the brightness is set

to a high value will have an effect on the life of the displays.

KORG Logo Light (turning the KORG logo light on/o)

This sets the brightness of the rear panel KORG logo. To make the logo light up in response to the note-on velocities played on the keyboard, set this to “On-Note Vel”. The default setting is “5”.

KORG Logo Color (color of KORG light)

Sets the color of the KORG logo on the rear panel when it lights up. The logo will light up in one of the following colors: white, red, pink, blue, green, purple, or gold. When selecting “Cycle”, the color will change gradually over time. The default setting is “White”.

Foot - Pedal (foot pedal functions)

This sets the functions that will be controlled when a foot pedal (such as the XVP-20, XVP-10 or EXP-2, sold separately) is

connected to the FOOT CONTROLLERS PEDAL jack on the

rear panel. This allows the volume and effects to be controlled. The default setting is “Expression (CC#11)”.

For instance, you could save the favorites that you created in your

home studio to a USB ash drive or other USB device, and then

reload these favorites in the studio or onstage to the Grandstage, which will bring back the favorite sounds you created in your home studio. Also, by managing your favorites that might differ

for each live performance or project as a .FAV le, you can

instantly prepare a “set” of the favorites that you need each time.

1. Plug a USB storage device into the USB A port of the Grandstage.

Note:

2. Press the SYSTEM button, and select “Save .FAV File” using the VARIATION knob.

“[Press EDIT]” will blink on the third line of the display.

SYSTEM or EXIT button to nish system settings.

The USB A port on the Grandstage supports hotplugging (meaning that the USB media/cable can be removed while the power is turned on).

If you wish to cancel the save operation while “[Press EDIT]” is blinking, select a parameter using the VARIATION knob, or press the SYSTEM or

EXIT button to nish system settings.

3. Press the EDIT button once more to continue saving.

Note:

If a USB storage device is not connected to the USB A port, the message “No valid media” will be displayed on the third line of the display, and the save operation will be cancelled. If this happens, connect a USB storage device, select “Save .FAV File” once more using the VARIATION knob, and perform step 3.

4. The words “Set File Name” and “Save [Hold EDIT]” will be alternately shown on the middle line of the display, and the le name will be shown on the third line.

5. Turn the VARIATION knob to select the characters to edit (the selected character will blink), and use the LEVEL knob to change the blinking character.

The name is “GS0000” by default, and the leftmost character “G” will blink. Filenames can be up to six characters long.

Note:

Press the EXIT button if you wish to cancel the

renaming of the lename. “[Press EDIT]” will be

displayed.

6. After you have nished naming the le, hold down the EDIT button for around one second to save the data.

7. The words “OK?[Press EDIT]” will blink on the third line of the display, to reconrm that you wish to save the data.

Note:

To cancel the save operation, press the EXIT button. This will return the display to a point three steps back.

8. Press the EDIT button quickly to begin saving the data.

9. When the save is completed, the word “Completed” will be shown on the third line of the display.

Note:

If a le with the same name already exists where the le will be saved, the message “File Overwrite”

will be shown on the second line of the display. To

overwrite the le, press the EDIT button. To cancel overwriting the le, press the EXIT

button. The display will return to the “Set File

Name” screen. Change the le name, and then save

using step 6 again.

10. Press the SYSTEM or EXIT button to nish the system settings.

Storage media that can be used

USB storage devices, such as MS-DOS FAT16 or FAT32-

formatted ash media or disks

Maximum usable storage capacity

FAT32: Up to 2 TB (2,000 GB) FAT16: Up to 4 GB

When saving to storage media, the “KORG/Grandstage” directory will automatically be created in the media’s root directory. This directory will be used exclusively by the Grandstage. When using

the “Save .FAV File” function, a le with the .FAV extension will

be created in this directory. If the storage media is not formatted as MS-DOS FAT16 or FAT32, the message “No valid media” will be shown. Format the storage media on your computer. If there is very little free space remaining on the storage media and data cannot be saved, the message “No free space” will be displayed. In this case, delete

any unnecessary les from the storage media to free up disk

space, or use a different storage media with more capacity.

When loading a .FAV le from storage media, only the .FAV

les in the “KORG/Grandstage” directory can be shown and

selected for loading. Note that if you change the directory,

folder hierarchy or lename using your computer, you will no longer be able to load the le.

The Grandstage recognizes the .FAV le extension. If you

change the le extension on a computer or other device, the Grandstage will recognize this as an undened le, and will not be able to load it. The lenames saved by the Grandstage

are six characters long. If you add more characters to a

lename using your computer or other device, you may no longer be able to display any of the lenames on the storage

media.

Load .FAV File (loading the favorite data)

This loads the favorite data (64 favorites) into the Grandstage’s memory, which were saved to a USB storage device using the favorite data save function.

This will load the favorite data into memory. Any factory-set

default data or favorite data that was edited and saved on the Grandstage will be overwritten, and your favorites will be lost. If you want to keep your favorite data, save the data to a USB storage device (aftermarket product).

1. Plug the USB storage device that contains the saved favorite data into the USB A port of the Grandstage.

Note:

The USB A port on the Grandstage supports hotplugging (meaning that the USB media/cable can be removed while the power is turned on).

2. Press the SYSTEM button, and select “Load .FAV File” using the VARIATION knob.

“[Press EDIT]” will blink on the third line of the display.

Note:

If you wish to cancel the load operation while “[Press EDIT]” is blinking, select a different system parameter using the VARIATION knob, or press the

SYSTEM or EXIT button to nish system settings.

3. Press the EDIT button once more to continue loading.

Note:

If there is no USB storage device plugged into the USB A port, the KORG/Grandstage directory that was created when executing the “Save .FAV File” function on this keyboard was not found, or

if there is no .FAV le located in that directory, the

message “No valid media” or “No File/Path” will be shown on the third line of the display, and loading will stop. If this happens, connect a USB storage device to the Grandstage that contains the .FAV

le you saved, select “Load .FAV File” using the

VARIATION knob, and perform step 3.

4. The le to load is shown on the third line of the display. If there is more than one le that can be loaded, use the LEVEL knob to select the lename to load.

5. Hold down the EDIT button for around one second to load the data.

The words “OK?[Press EDIT]” will blink on the third line of

the display, to reconrm that you wish to load the data.

Note:

To cancel the load operation, press the EXIT button. This will go back to the “Select File” display.

6. Press the EDIT button quickly to begin loading the data.

When loading is completed, the word “Completed” will be shown on the third line of the display.

7. Press the SYSTEM or EXIT button to nish the system settings.

Caractéristiques

Description des panneaux

principales

Le Grandstage de Korg est un piano de scène conçu pour offrir

une jouabilité adaptée à la scène, et propose une riche palette de

sonorités incluant les plus beaux sons de piano acoustiques et électriques, ainsi qu’une interface utilisateur intuitive.

De superbes sonorités de piano

• Le Grandstage inclut cinq des sons de piano à queue les plus recherchés de la planète. Le moteur dédié de piano acoustique SGX-2 offre une riche gamme d’expression, du délicat au puissant, grâce à des échantillons stéréo non bouclés.

•

Le Grandstage propose des sons de pianos électriques issus

de six modèles classiques. Le moteur de piano électrique

EP-1 produit un son époustouant de délité, recréant chaque changement naturel du son et offrant des modélisations dèles

fet des panneaux, des meubles, etc.

de l’ef

Une palette de sons exceptionnelle

• Le Grandstage propose 500 types de sons divisés en deux sections: KEYBOARDS et ENSEMBLE. Sélectionnez un son et explorez-le sur le clavier en choisissant simplement une catégorie et une variation au sein de chaque section. Le nom

des sons est afché sur un écran électroluminescent de haute

lisibilité.

La section KEYBOARDS propose des sons de piano à queue,

• de piano droit, de piano électrique, de clavi et d’orgue. La section ENSEMBLE rassemble des sons généralement utilisés sur scène, tels que cordes, cuivres, synthétiseur et cloches.

• Le Grandstage bénécie des sept moteurs de synthèse sonore suivants, tous de qualité irréprochable: SGX-2 (piano acoustique), EP-1 (piano électrique), CX-3 (orgue à roues phoniques), or sation analogique) et HD-1 (générateur de sons PCM).

L’instrument of

• effet optimum est préprogrammé pour chaque son, comme par exemple des effets classiques comme le phaser et le chorus pour le son de piano électrique. La section REVERB/DELAY permet en outre de régler instantanément les effets de réverbération et de retard.

Le réglage des fonctions de superposition (Layer) et de

• partage (Split) est instantané. Ces fonctions permettent respec-

tivement de superposer et jouer simultanément deux sons, et

d’assigner un son dif

Un modèle de jouabilité pour la scène

• Les boutons FAVORITE sont stratégiquement placés au centre du panneau avant. L’utilisation combinée de ces 16 boutons permet de mémoriser 64 types de sons ou réglages. Ces sons et réglages peuvent être rappelés instantanément sur scène.

•

La commande DYNAMICS permet de gérer instantanément

la manière dont le volume et le son répondent aux variations de toucher (à la force d’enfoncement des touches du clavier). Vous pouvez donc adapter la réponse de l’instrument en fonc

tion du style de jeu (comme par exemple solo, ensemble et

groupe) et de morceau. Utilisez la section EQUALIZER pour

modier instantanément la nature du son, en vue par exemple

de l’adapter à l’acoustique d’une salle de concert.

•

La fonction de transition en douceur des sons (SST) élimine

tout décrochage lors du changement de sons et produit des

changements de sons et d’effets parfaitement uides.

• Le Grandstage bénécie d’un clavier RH3 (avec mécanique à marteau pondérée). Ce clavier recrée sous vos doigts le

toucher d’un véritable piano à queue et vous permet de jouer

les passages délicats dans leurs moindres nuances.
