TIP Windows Users :
When the microKEY Air/microKEY is rst connected to your Windows com-
puter, the USB-MIDI driver pre-installed with the operating system will be
used automatically. This pre-installed USB-MIDI driver will not allow the mi-
croKEY
Air or microKEY to access multiple programs or applications at the
same time. To remedy this situation, simply download the KORG USB-MIDI
driv
er at www.korg.com and install the driv
er as instructed with the support
-
ing documentation.
Turning o the Power
1. Disconnect the USB Cable
Disconnect the USB cable from the microKEY Air or microKEY. Once discon-
nected the Power Indicator will go dark (unlit).
microKEY Air users : Set the Mode Switch set to USB before disconnecting the

Getting Connected (Connecting via Bluetooth)
(microKEY Air only)
In order to use the device wirelessly, the device must be running on baery
power.
Installing the Batteries
Be sure the USB cable is disconnected from the mi-
croKEY Air before proceeding. Open the baery cover
on the
rear panel and install two AA baeries. Be sure
to observe the correct polarity. Finally, close the bat
-
tery cover.
If the microKEY Air encounters an operational er-
ror that connot be cleared or resolved by turning
the pow
er On and O, try removing and re-install-
ing the baeries.
Turning on the power

Connections
For details on connecting to an iPhone/iPad or Mac, or to a Windows PC, refer to
“Bluetooth MIDI Connection Guide.” Download the latest version of the “Blue-
tooth MIDI Connection Guide” from the Korg website (hp://www.korg.com/).
Turning o the power
1. Set the Mode Switch to USB.
This will turn o the wireless link and will turn the microKEY Air o; the
Power Indicator will go dark (unlit).
microKEY Air users : If your microKEY Air is connected to the computer via
USB, placing the switch in the USB position will active the USB connection,
and the unit will not turn o. In this case, you must also remove the USB cable
from the microKEY Air.
Customizing the MIDI Settings
Easy to use and simple in design, the Korg microKEY Air and microKEY also
allow you to access a variety of performance features and operational parameters
using the Korg Kontrol Editor software. The Korg Kontrol Editor is available as
a download directly from hp://www.korg.com/corporate/distributors/ or from hp://
www.korg.com/.
MIDI Channel
The MIDI channel microKEY Air/microKEY should be set to match the MIDI
channel of the software or application being used.
MIDI Channel [1...16]
This species which MIDI channel the microKEY Air/microKEY will use to
transmit note messages, pitch bend messages, and other MIDI messages that are
sent when you use the MOD wheel, damper pedal, etc.
Keyboard
In addition to using the Octave UP/DOWN buons on the front panel, you can
also transpose the microKEY Air and microKEY to play in any musical key. In
addition, the touch response of the keyboard (Velocity Curve) can be adjusted to
match your playing style or to create a dierent eect.
Transpose [-12...+12]
The Transpose parameter can transpose the pitch of the keyboard up or down in
semitone steps. The range is -12 to +12.
Velocity Curve [Curve 1...8 / Const]
Adjust the velocity curve to determine how keyboard dynamics will aect the
output level. There are eight Velocity Curves to choose from; you can also select
any xed velocity—ideal for replicating organs, harpsichords, and other instru
-
ments that lack keyboard dynamics.
1 Heavy Requires a strong strike to produce the maximum eect.
2
|
A curve that's closer to normal than 1.
3 A curve that's closer to normal than 2.
4 Normal A normal curve.
5
|
Allows even soft strikes to produce an eect.
6
A curve that allows even softer strikes than 5 to produce an eect.
7
Allows medium-strength strikes to produce a constant but less
dynamic eect.
8
Light
A curve that is aer than 7.
Const The velocity value will always be constant.
Const Velocity Value [1...127]
If Const (Constant Velocity) is selected as the Velocity Curve, then this parame-
ter will be available to set the Constant Velocity Value. Every note will play with
the same MIDI value selected here.
Mod Wheel
By default, the MOD wheel is set to MIDI CC#1 (Modulation Amount). These
parameters allow you to change this CC#, plus you can set upper and lower values
for the Modulation. In addition, the Function of the MOD wheel can be completely
disabled.
Wheel Enable [Disable/Enable]
When set to Disable, the wheel will not transmit any MIDI messages.
Control Change Number [0...127]
You can select any MIDI CC#, allowing the MOD wheel to control nearly any
MIDI parameter.
Upper Value [0...127]
This parameter species the value of the CC message that is transmied when
the wheel is pushed all the way up.
Lower Value [0...127]
This parameter species the value of the CC message that is transmied when
the wheel is pulled all the way down.
Assignable Switch
By default, the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack is set to MIDI CC#64 (Damper). These
parameters allow you to change this CC#, plus you can set the polarity of the
pedal, or allow the microKEY Air/microKEY to detect the polarity automatically.
Control Change Number [0...127]
You can select any MIDI CC#, allowing an aached pedal switch (sold separate-
ly) to control nearly any MIDI parameter.
Polarity [Auto/-/+]
AUTO : When the microKEY Air/microKEY is turned on, the polarity of the foot
switch is automatically detected.
-, + : Choose one of these values to specify the polarity manually.
Wireless (microKEY Air only)
Auto Power O [Disable/Enable]
When Auto Power O is set to Enable, the microKEY Air will automatically turn
o if no operations are performed after 4 hours. To turn the microKEY Air back
on after the Auto Power O function has turned it o, set the Mode Switch to
USB, and then return it to the WIRELESS position.
Battery Type [Alkaline/Ni-MH]
Set this parameter to match the type of baeries installed in the microKEY Air.
Select “Ni-MH” when using nickel-metal hydride baeries, or “Alkaline” when
using alkaline baeries.
Device Name
This parameter allows you to specify the name (up to 25 alpha-numeric charac-
ters) that will appear on the Bluetooth enabled device when seing up a wireless
link.
These seings will be applied the next time that the microKEY Air is turned
o, then on again.
Restoring the Factory Settings
During a USB connection, to restore all of the microKEY Air/microKEY pa-
rameters back to their original factory values, hold down both the Octave
UP and Octave DOWN buons while turning the pow
er on.
The process of restoring the factory seings will take several seconds
after you turn on the power. You must not turn o the power during this
time.
The factory seings cannot be restored during a wireless connection.
Troubleshooting
Here is a quick guide to resolving some common issues.
microKEY Air/microKEY will not turn on
When used in the wireless mode, the microKEY Air is powered by two AA
baeries. Be sure the baeries have been installed correctly.
The microKEY may not receive enough power from a non-powered (pas
-
sive) USB hub. In this case, switch to a powered (active) USB hub, or sim-
ply connect the microKEY directly to the computer.
The microKEY Air cannot establish a wireless link (mi-
croKEY Air only)
Verify that your computer or iPhone/iPad is compatible with Bluetooth
4.0.
Verify that the operating system for your computer or iPhone/iPad is com
-
patible with Bluetooth Low Energy MIDI. Compatible operating systems
are Mac OS X Yosemite or later, W
indows 8.1 or later (KORG BLE-MIDI
Driver is required), and iOS 8.0 or later
Software programs do not respond
Conrm that the microKEY Air/microKEY is selected in the MIDI port
seings of the application that you’re using.
In certain cases, the selected application may not support a specic func
-
tion. Please check the owner’s manual of your host application.
The pedal operation is reversed
The polarity of the connected footswitch is automatically detected when
the power is turned on. Be sure the pedal is connected BEFORE the power
is turned on, and do not touch the pedal while turning the microKEY Air/
microKEY on.
The keyboard does not respond to keyboard dynamics
Verify that the Keyboard Velocity Curve is not set to Const. (Constant
Value).
