Main Features

The Korg Grandstage is a stage piano that was designed in the pursuit of onstage playability, offering a rich variation of sounds including the greatest acoustic and electric piano sounds, along with an intuitive user interface.

The greatest piano sounds

• The Grandstage includes five of the world's most famous grand piano sounds. An SGX-2 dedicated acoustic piano sound generator makes both delicate and powerful, richly expressive sounds a reality with large, non-looping waveform samples in full stereo sound across the keyboard.
• The Grandstage includes vintage electric piano sounds from six classic models. The EP-1 dedicated electric piano sound generator makes the best sound a reality, with natural changes in sound and delicately-modeled panel effects, cabinets and so on.

Rich variation of sounds

• The Grandstage offers 500 types of sounds separated into two sections, KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE. Selecting a category and variation within each section allows you to choose your sound and play right away. The names of sounds are shown on an easy-to-read organic EL (electro-luminescent) display.
• Within the KEYBOARDS section, you can select grand piano, upright piano, electric piano, clay, and organ sounds. Within the ENSEMBLE section, you can select sound commonly used in stage performance such as strings, brass, synthesizer, and bells.
• The Grandstage features seven high-quality sound synthesis engines, including the SGX-2 (acoustic piano), EP-1 (electric piano), CX-3 (tonewheel organ), VOX organ, compact electric organ, AL-1 (analog modeling), and the HD-1 (PCM sound generator).
• A powerful effects section is provided. The optimum effect for each sound is already preset, such the standard assortment of effects like phaser and chorus for electric piano. Also, on the REVERB/DELAY section, reverb and delay can be instantly set.
• Layer and split functions can be set instantly. This is used to stack two sounds together, or to play two different sounds on the left and right of the keyboard.

The pursuit of onstage playability

• FAVORITE buttons are located at the center of the front panel. These 16 buttons can be combined to register 64 types of sounds or settings. These sounds and settings can be recalled instantly while playing live.
• The DYNAMICS knob can be used to instantly change how the volume and sound responds to changes in touch (i.e., how hard or soft the keys are played). The performance feel can be customized to match the playing style required (such as solos, ensembles, and bands) and the song. The EQUALIZER section can be used to instantly change the characteristics of the entire sound, to match the acoustics of the performance venue.
• A smooth sound transition (SST) feature eliminates dropouts in sound when changing sounds, making it possible to switch sound and effects naturally.
• The Grandstage uses an RH3 (Real weighted-Hammer action 3) keyboard. This keyboard recreates the feel of a grand piano, letting you perform highly nuanced, delicate passages.

Using the controllers

For split and layered sounds, controllers aside from SW1 and SW2 can be turned on (enabled) or off (disabled) for each section (KEYBOARDS or ENSEMBLE; refer to "Other Controls" on page 14).

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.

Note: 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 17).

MIDI OUT IN FOOT CONTROLLERS DAMPER SWITCH PEDAL DS-1H PS-1, PS-3 EXP-2, XVP-10, XVP-20

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 half-damper 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 16). The pedal is set to control the overall volume of the Grandstage by factory-set default using expression (CC#11).

However, for preloaded programs that include the pedal wah effect, the pedal is automatically set to control the wow effect. Some of these programs contain the word "Pedal Wah" in the name.

Adjusting the dynamics and equalizer

DYNAMICS

EQUALIZER

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 inflected 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 effect 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: 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.

Note: 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.

Note: The effect will be applied according to the velocity curve (see page 16) that is set.

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.

Slider Explanation Adjustable range
LOW Low-end shelving type -12 ~ 0 ~ +12dB
MID Midrange band type -12 ~ 0 ~ +12dB
HIGH High-end shelving type -12 ~ 0 ~ +12dB

Note: Equalizer settings cannot be saved to the favorites. The equalizer will always be off when turning on the Grandstage. Turning the equalizer on will cause the effect to be applied, according to the positions of the sliders.

Increasing the equalizer settings may cause excessive levels, which could distort the audio output. Turn the LEVEL knobs for the KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE sections down when adjusting the equalizer settings.

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 fingering 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#4 to C5 to transpose the keyboard up in semitones, to 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.

TRANSPOSE + Grandstage73 C3 C4 C5

Cancelling the transpose feature

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

Note: The transpose feature will be cancelled when the power is turned off.

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.

Turning the Panel Lock function ON or OFF (cancel)

1. Hold down the EXIT (PANEL LOCK) button for about two seconds to turn Panel Lock ON.

When this happens, the button will blink.

2. Press the blinking EXIT button to turn panel lock OFF (cancel).

The button will go dark.

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

Panel lock off

Note: The panel lock setting will not be saved. When the power is turned off and then on again, the keyboard will reset.

Creating favorites

To create a new favorite, you must modify the two programs (in single sound mode) originally saved, or modify the program with layer/split sounds that uses two programs.

You can also edit the sound of the program you are using.

Note: Since the edits you make to the program will be saved as part of the favorite's settings, this will not affect the original program. This means that when you edit a program, this will not change the same program's sounds that happen to be used in another favorite. The "Release" edit parameter and the sound parameters will be reset to their original settings when you select a program again.

Changing the programs used

1. Use the FAVORITE buttons to select a favorite (see page 9).

Note: When selecting a favorite that was set by default, select any bank from E and up.

1. Press either the KEYBOARDS button or the ENSEMBLE button to make them light (on) or go dark (off).

If only the KEYBOARDS button or the ENSEMBLE button is lit, they cannot be turned off. Turn both of the sections on and then turn off the section that you will not use.

1. Select the program using the category selection knob and the VARIATION knob, in the section on which the button is lit.

Control panel interface with multiple display and function buttons, likely from an industrial or electronic device system

Any changes you make to a favorite will be lost and the favorite will return to its previous saved state, if you select a different favorite or turn off the power.

Be sure to write the favorite to memory in order to save any changes you make. (Refer to “Saving a favorite that has been changed” on page 13.)

Creating layered sounds

Two sounds can be stacked together to create a layered sound (example: piano and strings).

Strings Piano

1. Turn both the KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE section buttons on, and select a program for each.

This will make a layered sound.

1. Use the LEVEL knobs for each section to adjust the volume balance between both programs.

Tip: When creating a layered sound with two programs from the ENSEMBLE section, select the ENSEMBLE category for the KEYBOARDS program. When creating a layered sound with two programs from the KEYBOARDS section, select the KEYBOARDS category for the ENSEMBLE program.

Creating split sounds

You can assign a different sound to the higher range of the keyboard and the lower range of the keyboard to create a split sound (for instance, piano and bass).

Bass Piano Split point

1. When in single sound mode, press the SPLIT button.

The SPLIT button will light, and the KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE buttons will both turn on (light up).

1. Select a program for each section.

The ENSEMBLE program will be assigned to the lower part of the keyboard (lower note range), and the KEYBOARDS program will be assigned to the upper part of the keyboard (higher note range).

3. To cancel the split sound, press the SPLIT button, or press either the KEYBOARDS or ENSEMBLE button to return to single sound mode.

The SPLIT button will go dark.

When using layered sound, pressing the SPLIT button will switch to a split sound.

Press the SPLIT button once more (the button will go dark) to switch to layered sound.

The ENSEMBLE program will be assigned to the lower part of the keyboard (lower note range), and the KEYBOARDS program will be assigned to the higher part of the keyboard (higher note range).

Note: When setting a split sound, if the SPLIT button is pressed to turn split sound OFF, the Grandstage will return to the mode it was in before entering split sound mode.

However, if you select a favorite that uses split sound, only the KEYBOARDS section will turn on when the SPLIT button is OFF, and the keyboard will return to single mode.

Tip: When creating a split sound with two programs from the ENSEMBLE section, select the ENSEMBLE category for the KEYBOARDS program. When creating a split sound with two programs from the KEYBOARDS section, select the KEYBOARDS category for the ENSEMBLE program.

Split point

The lowest note of the upper part on the keyboard is called the "split point". The split point is set to C4 by factory default.

Changing the split point

- While holding down the SPLIT button, press the key (on the keyboard) where you want the split point to be.

You can save the split point that you have changed, as a split sound in a favorite. Note that the split point will return to the default setting of C4 if you return to single sound mode before saving, or when you turn off the power.

Lead Piano Split point

Switching upper and lower keyboard parts

- Pressing the SWAP button to make the button light will allow you to switch the sounds used on the upper part (higher note range) and lower part (lower note range) of the keyboard in split sound mode.

Piano Lead

Although you will be able to change or edit sounds after pressing SWAP, be careful to remember that the higher note range is the ENSEMBLE section, and the lower note range is the KEYBOARDS section—the left and right sides of the keyboard have been swapped.

Pressing the SWAP button once more will cause the button to go dark, and the sounds on the upper and lower sides of the keyboard will return to the way the sections are labeled on the panel.

Saving a favorite that has been changed

Favorites that have been changed will return to their previous saved state, if you select a different favorite or turn off the power. Be sure to write any favorites that you have changed to memory if you want to save them, by using the following steps.

1. Press the WRITE button once you are finished with editing.

The WRITE and EXIT buttons will blink.

2. If you wish to overwrite the current favorite, simply press the WRITE button.

The WRITE and EXIT buttons will go dark, and writing will be finished.

To cancel the write operation, press the EXIT button.

3. To save to a different favorite, press the new bank and number buttons where you want the favorite to be saved.

4. Press the WRITE button.

The WRITE and EXIT buttons will go dark, and writing will be finished.

Control panel interface with multiple display and function icons, including buttons, switches, and display indicators

Tip: When you press a bank or number button during the write operation, the selected program in the favorite to be saved will be shown on the display, until you release the button. You can use this to check the contents of the favorite location you are saving to. This function is useful for making sure that it's all right to overwrite the desired favorite location.

Editing a program

You can make basic adjustments to the sound and effects of the programs you select. Edited programs can be saved as a favorite.

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 fine-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: Controllers cannot be individually enabled or disabled.

• Pitch bend wheel
• Modulation wheel
• Pedal connected to the FOOT CONTROLLERS PEDAL jack. Note that if the PEDAL jack function set in system settings (see “Foot - Pedal” on page 16) is set to “Master Volume”, this pedal function will always be enabled, without regard to the “Other Controls” setting here.

- Switches connected to the FOOT CONTROLLERS SWITCH jack. Note that if the SWITCH jack function set in system settings (see “Foot - Switch” on page 17) is set to “Favorite Up” or “Favorite Down”, those pedal functions will always be enabled, without regard to the “Other Controls” setting here.

Normally, the setting is enabled. When turning off either the pitch 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.

Reverb/delay settings

These are the settings for the reverb and delay effects. Four types of reverbs and four types of delays can be set as effects.

Type Details
HALL This is a	hall-type reverb that simulates the reverberations of a large concert hall or ensemble hall.
STAGE This re	reverb simulates a stage with less reverberations that that of the hall type.
ROOM	This reverb simulates the reverberations of a small room. The reverb includes multiple initial reflections of the sound from the walls and ceiling.
SPRING This	reverb simulates the spring reverb sound used in some guitar amps and organs.
DELAY This is	a simple stereo delay.
CROSS This is	a stereo delay that bounces back and forth from left to right.
TAPE This effect	models the analog tape echo found on popular devices. The effect recreates the changes in tone from sound distortion and vibration produced by the rotation of magnetic tape and the motor. This offers a warm echo sound.
MOD DLY This	effect adds a pitch shift-type effect similar to a chorus effect to a delay, creating a swelling, wobbly delay sound.

1. Press the REVERB/DELAY button.

The LEDs of the button and the selection knob will light, and the effect will be applied.

2. Use the selection knob to select the effect.

3. Adjust the amount of the effect to apply with the DEPTH knob.

The value will be shown on the LEDs around the knob. Reverb type is used to control the reverb level, and delay type is used to control the delay level and feedback level at the same time.

4. The delay and reverb times can be adjusted to match the intervals at which you press the TIME-TAP button.

The button will blink at the interval that is currently set.

Note: The reverb time will be set to the interval between taps, when you tap the button four times.

When using layered or split sound, the effect volume balance can be adjusted with the “Reverb Send” effect edit parameter in the KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE programs.

The settings in this section can be saved as a favorite.

    D <--> E["SYSTEM\nLoad .FAV File\n[Press EDIT"]]

3. Set the values using the LEVEL knob in the KEYBOARDS section.

The values and setting details are shown on the third line of the display.

Changing these values will immediately apply them as system settings and save them to memory, even after the power is turned off.

4. After you are finished with the settings, press the SYSTEM button or the EXIT button.

The SYSTEM button will go dark.

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

Specifies the MIDI channels on which the Grandstage will transmit and receive (from 1–16).

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 specifies 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 effect 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 flat effect when playing softly.
8 (Light) This curve provides an even more flat effect when playing softly.
9 (Wide) This curve produces an even softer response when playing softly compared to the typical curve #4.

Convert Position

This specifies 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 Off

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/off)

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)”.

*1: Controls the volume of the REVERB/DELAY section and the equalizer prior to input.
*2: On the CX-3 type organ programs, this controls the volume before the rotary speaker input. Recreates the effect of an expression pedal used with drawbar organs. The expression pedal effect can be recreated in the same way for VOX organ and electric organ programs as well.
*3: The MASTER VOLUME knob adjusts the output level from AUDIO OUTPUT.

Function Details
Off The connected pedal will not function.
Expression (CC#11)	The pedal will control expression. Controls the volume on the output line for both the KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE sections. The value of the MIDI Volume (CC#7) message and the expression are multiplied to get the actual volume. (*1) (*2)Pedal WahThis functions differently from normal in some programs. For programs that include the words “Pedal Wah”, the pedal controls the pedal wah effect within the program, not the volume.
Volume (CC#7)	This is used to control the volume. Controls the volume on the output line for both the KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE sections. (*1)
Master Volume	Controls the master volume. This controls the volume at the last stage of the sound generator output. At the same time, this sends a master volume message (universal exclusive message) to control the volume of all outputs, including the REVERB/DELAY section and the equalizer. (*3)
M. Wheel (CC#1)	This allows the modulation wheel effect of the Grandstage to be controlled by pedal.
MIDI CC#0... #95	Outputs the MIDI control change message that is set. If the Grandstage supports this control setting, the effect will be applied.
MIDI CC#102... #119	Outputs the MIDI control change message that is set. If the Grandstage supports this control setting, the effect will be applied.

Foot - Switch (foot switch functions)

This sets the functions that will be controlled when a foot pedal (such as the PS-1 or PS-3, sold separately) is connected to the FOOT CONTROLLERS SWITCH jack on the rear panel. This allows you to switch between favorites, as well as control sounds and effects.

The default setting is "SW2 (CC#81)".

Function Details
Off The connected pedal will not function.
SW 1(CC#80)	This controls the SW1 button effect using a foot switch.
SW 2(CC#81)	This controls the SW2 button effect using a foot switch.
Soft(CC#67)	Turns the soft pedal effect on or off.
Favorite Up	Selects the next favorite number using a foot switch. At the same time, this sends a program change message.
Favorite Down	Selects the previous favorite number using a foot switch. At the same time, this sends a program change message.
MIDI CC#0... #95	Outputs the MIDI control change message that is set. If the Grandstage supports this control setting, the effect will be applied.
MIDI CC#102... #119	Outputs the MIDI control change message that is set. If the Grandstage supports this control setting, the effect will be applied.

Calibrating the pedal

Damper Calib. (damper pedal calibration)

Calibrate the damper pedal (such as the DS-1H) that is connected to the DAMPER jack. This will adjust the half-damper variable range.

Tip: The calibration set here will be stored in memory until you perform the calibration again.

1. Connect the damper pedal to the Grandstage.

Refer to "FOOT CONTROLLERS" on page 10 for how to connect the pedal.

2. Lift your foot off the damper pedal.

3. Press the SYSTEM button, and select "Damper Calib." using the VARIATION knob.

"[Press Pedal]" will blink on the third line of the display.

Resetting, saving and loading data

Factory Reset (restoring the factory default settings)

The Grandstage can be returned to its factory default settings.

This will reset (initialize) the favorite data and system setting data. Any edited or newly created favorite data will be overwritten, and your data will be lost. If you want to keep your favorite data, save the data to a USB storage device (aftermarket product). All system settings (including calibration data) will be reset, and you will need to make your settings and perform calibration once more.

While resetting, do not turn off the Grandstage's power, play the keyboard, or move any buttons, knobs or controllers. Doing so may cause the reset operation to fail, and you will be unable to use the Grandstage.

1. Press the SYSTEM button, and select "Factory Reset" using the VARIATION knob.

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

Note: If you wish to cancel the reset to factory default settings while “[Press EDIT]” is blinking, select a parameter using the VARIATION knob, or press the SYSTEM or EXIT button to finish system settings.

1. Press the EDIT button.

The words "OK?[Press EDIT]" will blink on the third line of the display, to reconfirm that you wish to reset the data.

1. Press the EDIT button once more to reset the keyboard.

2. When the reset is completed, the word "Completed" will be shown on the third line of the display.

3. Press the SYSTEM or EXIT button to finish the system settings.

Save .FAV File (saving the favorite data)

This saves the 64 favorites that have been edited on or written to the Grandstage, to external USB storage media connected to this keyboard via the USB A port.

For instance, you could save the favorites that you created in your home studio to a USB flash 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 file, 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: The USB A port on the Grandstage supports hot-plugging (meaning that the USB media/cable can be removed while the power is turned on).

1. Press the SYSTEM button, and select "Save .FAV File" using the VARIATION knob.

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

Note: 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 finish system settings.

1. 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.

1. The words "Set File Name" and "Save [Hold EDIT]" will be alternately shown on the middle line of the display, and the file name will be shown on the third line.

2. 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 filename. "[Press EDIT]" will be displayed.

1. After you have finished naming the file, hold down the EDIT button for around one second to save the data.

2. The words "OK?[Press EDIT]" will blink on the third line of the display, to reconfirm 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.

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

2. When the save is completed, the word "Completed" will be shown on the third line of the display.

Note: If a file with the same name already exists where the file will be saved, the message "File Overwrite" will be shown on the second line of the display. To overwrite the file, press the EDIT button. To cancel overwriting the file, press the EXIT button. The display will return to the "Set File Name" screen. Change the file name, and then save using step 6 again.

1. Press the SYSTEM or EXIT button to finish the system settings.

Storage media that can be used

USB storage devices, such as MS-DOS FAT16 or FAT32-formatted flash 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 file 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 files from the storage media to free up disk space, or use a different storage media with more capacity.

When loading a .FAV file from storage media, only the .FAV files in the "KORG/Grandstage" directory can be shown and selected for loading. Note that if you change the directory, folder hierarchy or filename using your computer, you will no longer be able to load the file.

The Grandstage recognizes the .FAV file extension. If you change the file extension on a computer or other device, the Grandstage will recognize this as an undefined file, and will not be able to load it. The filenames saved by the Grandstage are six characters long. If you add more characters to a filename using your computer or other device, you may no longer be able to display any of the filenames 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 hot-plugging (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 finish 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 file 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 file you saved, select "Load .FAV File" using the VARIATION knob, and perform step 3.

4. The file to load is shown on the third line of the display. If there is more than one file that can be loaded, use the LEVEL knob to select the filename 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 reconfirm 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 finish the system settings.

Appendices

Trouble shooting

If the Grandstage does not function as you expect, check the following points.

Power does not turn on

□ Is the power cord connected to an AC outlet?
☐ Did you hold down the power button?

Power won't turn off

☐ Did you hold down the power button for several seconds?

Power turns off

□ Could the Auto Power-Off function be enabled?

No sound when you play the keyboard

☐ Is your powered monitor system or headphones connected to the correct jack(s)?
☐ Is the connected monitor system powered-on, and is the volume raised?
□ Is the MASTER VOLUME knob set to a position where sound will be output?
□ Is Local Control turned on?
□ Are the LEVEL knobs for each section turned all the way down (to the left)?
□ Is the volume down on the pedal connected to the FOOT CONTROLLERS PEDAL jack?
□ Are you exceeding the Grandstag e's maximum polyphony when you do not hear some sounds while playing?

The sound will not stop.

☐ Are the settings for the damper pedal correct? Use the Calibration function to adjust the polarity and half-damper variable range of the pedal.

The sound seems to be doubled.

☐ If you are using an external MIDI device or a DAW, check whether the local control setting of the Grandstage is turned OFF.

The sound is distorted.

□ Are the inputs of the mixer, powered monitor speakers and so on being overloaded?

Use the MASTER VOLUME knob on the Grandstage to adjust the output level, as well as the volume faders on the mixer to adjust the input level gain.

Chords cannot be played on the keyboard.

☐ On some programs such as monophonic synthesizer sounds, you will not be able to play chords. This is not a malfunction.

The pitch doesn't sound right.

□ Is the Transpose function set correctly?
☐ Are “Master Tune” in the system settings, as well as the Octave and Tune edit parameters for the program set correctly?

The knobs and buttons on the panel won't respond.

☐ Is panel lock on? (The EXIT (PANEL LOCK) button is blinking in this case.)

The equalizer, dynamics and reverb/delay effects don't sound, or I can't control them.

☐ Is panel lock on? (EXIT (PANEL LOCK) is blinking in this case.)
□ Are the DYNAMICS, EQUALIZER, or REVERB/DELAY buttons off (dark)?

I hear noise.

☐ One effect used by programs is a noise-like effect, called “Analog Record”. The resonance filter may also be used to make the sound resonate. In either of these cases, this is not a malfunction.
☐ When raising the volume using the DYNAMICS knob, EQUALIZER slider, LEVEL knob and other controls, the levels may become excessive due to signal processing, which might result in a distorted or noisy sound. This is not a malfunction. Adjust this by turning down the levels for each section.
☐ When the REVERB/DELAY section is on, the sound may be distorted or noisy due to excessive input. This is not a malfunction.
Adjust this by lowering the LEVEL knobs on the KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE sections, and by lowering the value on the Reverb Send effect parameter.
☐ Some noise may occur when you change the delay effect time using the TIME-TAP button and so on. This is because the delay time is being abruptly changed and becomes non-continuous. This is not a malfunction.
☐ You may hear some noise as a result of a ground loop, depending on your power supply situation. This noise may be defeated in some cases by switching the LIFT-GND switch to the LIFT side.

The knobs and buttons on the KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE sections do not work, and I can't control them.

☐ Is panel lock on? (The EXIT (PANEL LOCK) button is blinking in this case.)
□ Are the KEYBOARDS or ENSEMBLE buttons off (dark)?

I made a favorite by modifying its program or making other edits, but it's no longer there.

☐ You may have switched to another favorite or turned off the power before saving your favorite.

The damper pedal, expression pedal and foot switch connected to the FOOT CONTROLLERS jacks don't work as intended.

☐ Are you using the correct settings when connecting the pedals? Use the Calibration function to adjust the polarity and variable range.

MIDI transmit and receive is not working correctly with external devices.

□ Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?
☐ If connecting via USB-MIDI, is the USB cable correctly plugged in to the USB B port?
☐ Is the Grandstage set to transmit and receive MIDI data on the same channel as the external MIDI device?
□ Are MIDI messages being transmitted and received that are compatible with the Grandstage?

The Grandstage is not responding to MIDI program change messages.

☐ The Grandstage supports MIDI program change messages for selecting favorites. However, sound programs on the KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE sections cannot be selected using MIDI program change messages.

The DYNAMICS knob does not respond to MIDI input.

☐ The Dynamics function only works on notes that are played using this keyboard. Dynamics has no effect on notes received via MIDI IN.
