Large amplitude multiphase solutions of the periodic Korteweg-de Vries equation are excited and controlled by a small forcing. The approach uses passage through an ensemble of resonances and subsequent multiphase self-locking of the system with eikonal-type perturbations. The synchronization of each phase in the Korteweg-de Vries wave is robust, provided the corresponding driving amplitude exceeds a threshold.
