[Griffin Avid]

1) hold down EDIT BUTTON (far right, next to LED display)

2) rotate PARAMETER FX CONTROL 1 dial (upper right of microSAMPLER)
until GLOBAL appears on screen

3) release EDIT BUTTON and repress it

4) rotate PARAMETER FX CONTROL 1 dial
until LCD.LIGHT appears.

5) rotate VALUE FX CONTOL 2 (counter-clockwise)

AUTO= times out after a few seconds)
ON = Continuously stays lit (what you want)
OFF = well, off.

5) WRITE the Global Settings to SAVE your set up.

Oh wow. I just searched the PDF manual for LCD, it's on page 38.

1. Press the [EDIT] button to make it blink.
If the [EDIT] button is not blinking, press it again until it blinks.
2. Use the [PARAMETER/FX CONTROL 1] knob to select the “GLOBAL”
page.
3. Press the [EDIT] button to make it light.
Use the [PARAMETER/CONTROL 1] knob to select the desired global
parameters, and make settings that apply to the entire microSAMPLER.
The indicator will appear when you select the “GLOBAL” page.

LCD.LIGHT (LCD backlight mode) .................................. [“OFF,” AUTO, ON]
This specifies the display backlight mode.
“OFF”
The backlight will be off.
AUTO
The backlight will illuminate when you operate a knob or press a button.
After a time, the backlight will turn off.
ON
The backlight will remain on constantly.

------------------------------------------------
If you’ve edited a bank, captured or edited a sample, or created pattern
sequencer data, this new data will be lost if you turn off the power or switch
to a different bank without saving. You must save the data if you want to use
it again.
Do not use the microSAMPLER’s knobs, buttons, or keyboard while data is
being saved, and never turn off the power during this time. The data may be
lost if you do so.
You can’t save data to the ROM bank.
1. Press the [WRITE] button to make it blink. The “WRITE” page will
appear in the display.
2. Use the [PARAMETER/CONTROL 1] knob to select the data that you
want to save (bank, sample, pattern, or global), and press the [WRITE]
button to confirm your choice. If you select “GLOBAL,” the display will
indicate “COMPLETE” when the data has been written, and you will
return to the previous screen.
If you decide to cancel without writing, press the [EXIT] button.

thanks griffin
i went thru the supplied manual, but not the pdf.

[Griffin Avid]

Yeah KORG sends out several manuals.
The microSAMPLER comes with three different documents and most of the terms I would usually use don't show up at all.

I had to dig even in the PDFs.
