2. START UP
CONNECTING THE AC POWER ADAPTER
Connect the supplied AC power adapter to the dedicated socket on the rear of the instrument. Then, plug it into a wall socket.
Warning: Use only the supplied adapter, or an adapter sug gested by Korg. Other adapters may look similar, but they may damage your instrument!
TURNING THE INSTRUMENT ON AND OFF
Turning the power on
•Press the power button () located on the upper right side of the front panel.
The startup screen will appear in the LCD, and after a time it will display the main page in Style Play mode and the unit will be ready for sound output.
Turning the power off
•Press the power button () located on the upper right side of the front panel to turn off the power.
Warning: When turning the instrument off, all data con tained in RAM (a volatile memory, used for Song editing) will be lost. On the contrary, data contained in the SSD disk (a non volatile memory, used for Factory and User data) will be preserved.
Note: Never turn off the power while the SD card data is being read or written.
ABOUT THE AUTO POWER-OFF FUNCTION
With the factory settings, this instrument will automatically power off when four hours have passed since you last played the keyboard or used the buttons. If desired, you can turn off (disable) this function.
The power will also turn off automatically after four hours pass with only songs or demo songs being played.
To adjust power on/off settings, press the [GLOBAL] button to enter the GLOBAL page, and adjust the settings on the Page1 Gen.Controls page.
CONTROLLING THE VOLUME
•Use the MASTER VOLUME
slider to control the overall volume of the instrument.
This slider controls the vol ume of the sound going to the internal speakers,
the L/MONO & RIGHT OUTPUTS, and the HEAD
PHONES connector.
Note: Start at a moderate level,
then raise the MASTER VOLUME up. Don’t keep the volume at an uncomfortable level for too long.
•Use the ACC/SEQ VOLUME slider to control the Style tracks (drums, percussion, bass…) volume. This slider also controls both of the Sequencers tracks, excluding the Realtime (Keyboard) tracks.
•By default, you can use the ASSIGN.SLIDER to control the keyboard tracks volume. This slider is user assign able, but is set to the Keyboard Expression parameter by default.
THE BALANCE SLIDER
The BALANCE slider sets the relative volume of the two onboard sequencers (Sequencer1 and Sequencer 2).
•Move it fully left to set Sequencer 1 to the maximum level and Sequencer 2 to zero.
•Move it fully right to set Sequencer 1 to zero and Sequencer 2 to the maximum level.
•Move it to the center to set both Sequencers at the same level.

HEADPHONES
You can connect a pair of headphones to the rear panel head phone jack (PHONES: stereo mini jack). You can use head phones with an impedance of 16–200Ω (50Ω recommended).
AUDIO OUTPUTS
You can send the sound to an external amplification system, instead of the internal speakers. This is useful when record ing, or when playing live.
AUDIO INPUTS
You can connect the output of another electronic musical instrument, an unpowered mixer, or any audio device to the rear panel input jack (INPUT: stereo mini jack). Since this is a line level input, youʹll need to use a separately sold mic pre amp or mixer if youʹre connecting a mic.

Controlling the Volume
Use the connected device’s volume control to adjust the input level. Be careful not to make it distort (or “clip”). Here is how to set the volume of the connected device:
•if the sound heard on microARRANGER’s outputs is too low, you should increase the output level of the con nected device.
•if it sounds fine, it’s ok.
•if it distorts, you should lower the level a little, until the sounds is fine again.
MIDI CONNECTIONS
You can play the internal sounds of your microARRANGER with an external controller, i.e. a master keyboard, a MIDI guitar, a wind controller, a MIDI accordion, or a digital piano.
1.Connect a standard MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of your controller to the MIDI IN connector on the micro ARRANGER.
2.Select a transmission MIDI channel on your controller. Some controllers, like the MIDI accordions, usually transmit on more than one channel.
3.On the microARRANGER, select the MIDI Setup that best fits your controller’s type.
DAMPER PEDAL
Connect a Damper (Sustain) pedal to the DAMPER connector on the back panel. Use a KORG PS 1, PS 3 or DS1H foot switch pedal, or a compatible one.

1.Press the STYLE PLAY and SONG PLAY buttons together. Their LEDs start blinking.
At this point, if you don’t press any other button, all the Demo Songs will be played back.
2.Choose a page using the PAGE buttons. There are two different pages in the Demo mode.
3.Select a Demo Song by pressing the corresponding VOL UME/VALUE button around the display. The Demo will automatically start.
4.Stop the Demo by pressing START/STOP.
