I notice some things when I select Man/Bass (Manual Bass). It uses an acoustic bass in very low register, without any visible way to change the octave register; it does not appear anywhere on the screen as one of the 4 voices so that you can change it to another type of bass. Does anyone know of a solution to this? Thank you

I would appreciate knowing what you've found just in case Korg comes through with a work around on the other issue. I sent them an email but it will take days to get a reply as they no longer accept phone calls for tech matters.

Truly appreciate your information and assistance. This is so helpful. The only negative remaining is the output not being the way I need it. Do you think perhaps Korg could eventually resolve that with an O.S. update, is that something you could be remedied with an update? Or is it possible there is something we both are not seeing and that a way does exist to configure the output so the internal speakers will continue to function?

Here's a look at how easy it would be to do what you want to do ...

The added red wires would prevent the speakers from being muted when a plug is inserted.

Just noticed something: why am I not seeing a separate volume control for the drums; rhythm? Hope this is a dumb question.

Sorry, I didn't see this diagram before sending the question about the drum volume. This is great. Thanks for all of this. I am looking at this more positively as a result.

Hope you see my question re: Volume control for the Rhythm, drums. Why am I not seeing this?

I think I found my answer to the separate volume. It is tucked away in the Global Mode Preference. Sure wish it was on the same pg as the other volume controls so wouldn't have to switch between two pages.

Thoraldus: I don't mean to sound disrespectful at all with the following question but is this how the Havian 30's headphone connector actually works? (That is, with a mechanical device that disconnects the main speakers.) In other instruments I know (Yamaha, specifically), this is done with a little integrated circuit that mutes the output to the speakers.

I will very much appreciate your reply on this (if it's a mechanical device, then it's a relatively "simple" mod.)

THANKS!

I had the SAME question about bass volume and will go try it out. If you don't hear back from me here it worked and a HUGE THANK YOU.

Has anyone successfully used the above approach to get the speakers to stay on when plugging into the headphone/audio output?
