Fix / Korg monologue

monologue receives USB notes but not DIN MIDI

A working USB setup becomes silent when switched to a MIDI cable.

Manufacturer documented
Fast answer

Check MIDI Route in GLOBAL 4. The USB setting excludes the DIN connectors; choose USB+MIDI and match MIDI Ch to the transmitting instrument.

Try these checks

  1. Connect the sender’s MIDI OUT to monologue MIDI IN.
  2. Set GLOBAL 4 MIDI Route to USB+MIDI.
  3. Match MIDI Ch to the sender and play a single note with a working audio output.

Diagnose it

Is MIDI Route set to USB?

Yes: Change it to USB+MIDI.

No: Check channel matching and the cable direction.

What should happen

Notes sent on the matching channel reach the monologue through MIDI IN.

Why this happens

The routing setting can intentionally exclude DIN even though USB MIDI works.

If it still doesn’t work

Check the connections and settings described above. If your device behaves differently, email us with its model, firmware version and the steps you tried.
