You can use KORG KONTROL Editor to manage and edit the parameters of the Keystage, and to make settings that are not available from the panel. Download this software from the Korg website.

Tip:For details on installing and using KORG KONTROL Editor, refer to the Owner’s Manual included with the software.
The parameters that are only available from KORG KONTROL Editor are shown below. When you set the MIDI channel to “Global”, the instrument transmits data via the global MIDI channel.
MIDI Ch: Specifies the MIDI channel (1–16 or Global) used for transmitting performance data.
Octave: Specifies the octave (-3–0–+3).
Transpose: Sets the transposition (—12–0–+12).
Wheel (modulation wheel settings)
MIDI Ch: Specifies the MIDI channel (1–16 or Global) used for transmitting controller data.
Lower Value: Specifies the value (0–127) that’s applied when you move the modulation wheel all the way down.
Upper Value: Specifies the value (0–127) that’s applied when you move the modulation wheel all the way up.
Encoder (DAW play position settings)
This sets what happens when you use the Keystage to move the play position of the DAW (by using the SHIFT button + VALUE dial). You can set the counterclockwise (REW) and clockwise (FF) motions for the VALUE dial separately.
MIDI Ch: Specifies the MIDI channel (1–16 or Global) used for transmitting controller data.
AssignType: Selects whether to transmit a control change message (CC) or a note message (Note) when the dial is operated (NoAssign, CC, Note). This is disabled when you select “NoAssign”.
CC/Note Number: Specifies the MIDI message (control change number or note number) to be transmitted when the dial is operated.
This configures what happens when you turn knobs 1–8. You can configure 128 knob settings (knobs 1–8 × 16 pages) individually.
MIDI Channel: Specifies the MIDI channel (1–16 or Global) used for transmitting controller data.
Left Value: Sets the value used (0–127) when the knob is turned all the way counterclockwise.
Right Value: Sets the value used (0–127) when the knob is turned all the way clockwise.
Button (settings for other DAW operations)
This sets what the transport buttons do when you operate them, and what happens when you switch between tracks or undo an operation.
You can set this separately for the following operations.
•PLAY button (Play), STOP button (Stop), REC button (Rec), LOOP button (Loop), TEMPO button (Tempo), SHIFT button + TEMPO button (Metro), SHIFT button + EXIT button (Undo), SHIFT button + VALUE button (Track down, Track up)
MIDI Ch: Specifies the MIDI channel (1–16 or Global) used for transmitting controller data.
AssignType: Selects whether to transmit a control change message (CC) or a note message (Note) when the dial is operated (NoAssign, CC, Note). This is disabled when you select “NoAssign”.
Behavior: Selects how the button behaves (Momentary or Toggle) when you operate it. When you set this to “Momentary”, the “On Value” is transmitted when the button is pressed, and the “Off Value” is transmitted when the button is released. When you set this to “Toggle”, each press of the button alternately transmits the “On Value” or the “Off Value”.
CC/Note Number: Specifies the MIDI message (control change number or note number) to be transmitted when the button is operated.
On Value, Off Value: Specifies the value of the control change number (0–127) that is used when “CC/Note Number” is set to “CC”. The timing at which the data is transmitted depends on the “Behavior” setting.
Property Exchange (MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange settings)
Property Exchange is a function for transmitting and receiving sound names, parameter names and the like as MIDI messages between devices. You can change how this works as necessary.
Property Exchange Enable: Enables or disables the Property Exchange function.
Program Number Display: Sets the program numbers sent via Property Exchange to be shown (Displayed) or not shown (Not Displayed).
