Common multi/poly Questions
How do I connect the Korg multi/poly to my DAW and other MIDI devices?
Use the rear panel's MIDI In and Out ports with standard MIDI cables to connect to your DAW's MIDI interface and other MIDI devices; ensure the 'MIDI Clock Source' setting in the Global menu is correctly set to either 'Internal' or 'External' depending on whether you want the multi/poly to be the master clock.
Where are my saved Patterns located and how can I back them up?
Patterns are saved internally; to back them up, use the 'System Backup' function in the Global menu to create a .kmp file on an SD card which contains all patterns, presets, and global settings.
How do I quickly layer multiple timbres on the Korg multi/poly?
Engage 'Multi Mode' using the dedicated button on the front panel; in this mode, you can assign up to 8 different parts to different key ranges or MIDI channels, creating layered textures.
My multi/poly seems frozen. How do I reset it?
Try a soft reset by powering the unit off and on again. If the issue persists, consult the manual for the factory reset procedure, but be aware that this will erase all user data.
What are 'Poly-Rhythms' and how do I use them on the Korg multi/poly?
Poly-Rhythms are a key feature allowing you to create complex rhythmic patterns; in the sequencer, use the 'Time Signature Per Step' function on each step to set different time signatures, resulting in polyrhythmic variations.
