Clock and missing tempo

Manufacturer documented

Utility → MIDI & USB offers Internal, External and Auto clock. External requires incoming MIDI clock over DIN or USB; without it, tempo-related features stop working.

Auto uses incoming clock when available and falls back to the internal tempo after clock has stopped for more than 500 ms.

Local Control and layer channels

Manufacturer documented

Local Control off disconnects the built-in keys and controllers from the internal sounds while MIDI transmission and reception remain available. Korg recommends it when an external sequencer's loop-back produces duplicate notes.

Global Channel applies to a layer's received MIDI when Use Global MIDI Channel is enabled. Check that layer option before assuming every layer follows the global channel.
