Copy from Combi in Sequencer Mode

[jflavius]

when i try to use copy from combi in sequencer mode, i run into the following;
altho the combi is fine in channels 1-8, the 9-16 channels seem to be 'stuck'. no matter what instrument group i try in those channels, all i get is drums and i can't change the type of drums either. also, the volume seems to be much quieter than what is coming out of the combi 1-8 channels.

in my triton classic, i can use channels 9-16 for any instrument group and the volumes are the same as the 1-8 combi channels. anyone know what to do here.......?

thx in advance,
jF

Is it possible that some Karma settings are 'in the way'?
Did you changen an existing patch or initialized it?

hello,
i just acquired this M3, used. i haven't made any changes to it, other than upgrading the unit to 2.0, or 'expanded". i really need help here. my triton is so user friendly, it's hard to keep trying with the M3 when I keep running into roadblocks........

thx,

Just a stab in the dark but;

Make sure that the midi channel numbers on Trks 9-16 are not on the same channel as your existing drum channel found on whatever channel between trk 1-8. If they are change them to their own respective track number. For example if your drums are on Midi Trk 1, look to see if midi trks 9-16 are not set to trk(midi channell) 1 change them to their own trk number, then try to change program.

Hope this helps

I had the same problem with a combi using the M50 with the KM50 software that essentially gives the m50 the M3 karma feature and changing the channels did the trick for me.

well, i reloaded the copy from combi program this morning and the midi channel #'s on tracks 9-16 corresponded to each channel's #, not to any drum track # from 1-8. even more puzzling is that the 9-16 tracks are all designated keyboard channels and yet all that i can get out of them all is drums! what the heck is that......? could it possibly be that i need to reset the keyboard to factory default settings, or something like that......? if so, how is that done........?

thanks again,

The procedure is explained in the manual. If you don't have one, download a .PDF copy at the Korg.com website.

Does this happen with every combi, or just one combi in particular? If it's the latter, which combi is it?

first, do you think i need to reset the keyboard to factory default settings....?

you asked a good question. altho i think it occors with any combi, i'll check again in the morning and let you know.......

thanks,

We're not going to spoon-feed you. I told you where to find the answer.

the question i wanted answered was;
do you think i need to restore the keyboard to the factory default settings........? i appreciated you telling me where i could find out HOW to reset the keyboard. i need to know if that is what's needed.........

jF, how can anyone even answer that question definitively until the actual problem is known? We can't answer that for you. More importantly, we simply do not have enough information from you. Which is the reason why I asked whether it was only one combi or all combis -- if it's just one combi, I can attempt to reproduce it.

And you shouldn't consider this forum as a substitute for Korg support. The best we can do is try to point you in the right direction. But if you believe there is something wrong with your M3, then why not call Korg support or e-mail them? Even if your M3 is out of warranty, they'll still try to help.

Synthoid,
thanks for your response. i tried several combi's and found that some did allow me to program the 9-16 channels the way i wanted. however, i also found more combi's that would not allow me to alter what was already programmed there. i also found that after recording on (say) channel 1, the recording button didn't automatically return to play, but remained on record. so, when i tried to record on (say) channel 9, everything was erased on channel 1. i wouldn't think that is normal, but i'm brand new with the M3, so i'm not sure.

i hadn't even considered that there might be a problem with my M3, other than not understanding the functionality. now i'm not so sure. so, i think i will try and reset it to factory settings and see if that helps. if not, i'll contact korg support and see what that offers.

i apologize for giving the impression that i expected something for nothing. i admit that i'm very frustrated. my triton has been so user-friendly that i expected my M3 experience would be the same. perhaps it would be if the unit was functioning normally. i do appreciate having people here to talk to about it, so thanks again.
