 Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 5:52 pm Post subject: record program changes in sequencer mode? |
 |
|
I'd like to use my microstation to change patches on an external device while playing back a sequence. What would be the best way to do that?
I was thinking that if I could record a program change on an empty track, that program change could be sent out to the external device, but I can't find any documentation about recording program changes in a sequence or even changing programs in the middle of a sequence.
Any ideas? |

After many hours I figured it out.
I used track 16 for my program changes.
Basically you have to record the changes in real time from your external source.
I'm a guitar player so I'm using my podxt to send the program changes.
Track 16 is setup to accept program changes and because my podxt is set to midi channel 1, I set the track to midi channel 1.
I also set the bus to off.
Next I started my sequence in record mode
When I got to a part in my sequence that I wanted a program change on my podxt
I clicked on the program I wanted it to change to and continued through the sequence.
When I played back the sequence, my pod was changing programs exactly when I recorded them. 
Good luck |

If you download the PDF parameter guide off Korg's website, look at page 174 of the file (on the bottom corner, it will say 166). It will show that there's an option in the MIDI / OSC section that allows you select any track to external, and you'll want to choose EXT 2. From there you can set up the patch change numbers, which are two sets of numbers (Bank Select MSB and LSB) that should trigger patch changes on external gear any time you select that song from the sequencer. These numbers will vary depending on the external device you are using, so you'll have to experiment or download the MIDI guide.

Very welcome
I felt your pain and had to share my experience.
It's so frustrating when you feel creative only to be held technically hostage...lol
The manuals are cryptic to say the least. |

Does this allow you to specify CC anywhere and as many times as needed edited directly on the microstation?
I think some testing is in order.
Thanks man |

For the record, I know I'm a total traitor, but for various reasons I returned the microstation and got a Krome. The Krome lets you enter program changes wherever you want in the sequence, so it's totally straightforward to do this.
I plan on using it to change patches on my Rocktron xpressionman and TC-Helicon VoiceLivePlay. Should be slick. |
