[quote="Weeedbeat" First thing when i playa note on the EMX it needs like 6or7 seconds for beeing a sound in FLStudio *WTF saying* . Second i cant set the Knobs to a certain thing on FLStudio... and mooore problems.I can write a book about that... Me and my KORG EMX part 1 -98[/quote]

sounds like you need to adjust your latency settings. Make sure you are using the ASIO driver for your audio interface if it has one (the tascam should, most pro interfaces do these days).

Haven't used fl studio in years but it should still have midi learn for your knobs, though the EMX probably uses NRPN's for some or all of it's knobs, so that could be an issue. I Just bought one but have not recieved it yet, if you don't figure it out in a couple days I'll have one in front of me to try for myself.

Best of luck.

Yeah I already discovered Midi Learn function but I did not figure it out yet! >.< When i press MIDI Learn and turn a knob around oder sth like that FL Studio DOESNT learn anything....

And the ASIO thing... I have a Numark MIxdeck and sometimes the MIxdeck driver and the ASIO driver get in a conflict... So i deleted ASIO^^

Perhaps you can describe your setup more. when you are trying to do midi leran in FL studio, how do you have the midi connected? What audio interface(s) are connected? do you have the mixdeck and the Tascam hooked up at the same time? (probably not going to work that way). I'm not familiar with the mixdeck, but It seems it has an ASIO driver as well.

Just trying to get things straight in my head so I can help you figure out the problem.

Give me as much info on your setup, what's connected to where etc.... and I will be able to help find the problem a little better.

OK!
MIDI !!!
Korg EMX --MIDI-Cable-->M-Audio Midisport 2x2--USB-Cable-->Laptop---FL STUDIO10

Numark Mixdeck(has its OWN driver)--USB-Cable--->Laptop--->TRAKTOR PRO 2

I downloaded the demo of flstudio10 to look into this. What I had to do to learn midi from my akaiMPD16's slider was press F10 to go into the midi setup screen, make sure it was shown there and select it and there was a check box to enable midi input (this was unchecked by default), then midi learn worked fine. when checking the enable box, my midi device in the input list went from greyed out to black and said ACTIVE next to it.

AS to your audio delay problem, on the left hand side of the midi screen is a column of icons, midi will be lit up and underneath it is audio. click audio and check the driver you are using. you will get best results using your devices ASIO driver, so for the tascam it might be us1800 ASIO or TASCAM ASIO or something. I had a lot of direct sound drivers at the top of the list and only one ASIO driver at the bottom. the direct sound drivers gave me poor latency, the best I could get without underruns (glitches in the sound) was 49ms (lower is better, latency is the delay from the software receiving a note, to the sound coming out of the audio hardware). with ASIO I can get 1 ms (anything under 10 is generally considered undetectable by MOST humans). you may also notice that as you ad more stuff you might get underruns and have to increase the latency, but you should be able to stay under 10ms with ASIO and a fairly modern computer.

hope this helps, if it still doesn't work, make sure you have midi drivers installed, your interface is recognized in FLstudio, and your cables are connected outputs to inputs (I'm sure you know that but I'm not sure what else to recommend if the first advice doesn't help).

Enjoy,
NS

Thank you veeeeerry much for taking all this time^^ but u missunderstood sth. I have a saperated MIDI interface. So in this case u can ignore the tascam us1800 coz this is only for AUDIO! But you did it just like I did to. I connected My EMX to the Midisport MIDI interface and then i connected the interface to the computer via Usb. but how does MIDI learn work?? Coz when i enable it nothing happens exceot for the pattern part and play/pause button....
And thank you again^^

this is relevant no matter the interface, if you have multiple ports you have to activate EACH port you wish to use.

Also, as I stated in my original reply, and have confirmed now, some controls use NRPN's, and FL studio's midi learn will not recognize them. another you need to know is that each part on the EMX1 will cause the knobs to transmit different midi messages. the drum parts all use NRPN's and only knobs that actually do something to the drum sounds will transmit anything. the 5 synth parts use CC's Each part uses the same CC's for it's corresponding knob, but on a different midi channel (1-5) by default.

So for this to work, you must select a synth part and the do the midi learn. if you change parts, that knob will now be transmitting on a different channel and will not control the parameter you learned until you switch back to the original part. so really the EMX1 has 5 banks of knobs you can use. hope this helps.

A useful program you should probably have is MIDI-OX

http://www.midiox.com/

This will let you look at the messages coming in from your synths. It is how I confirmed the info above.

If you still can't get it to work, there must be something wrong with your setup. Actually the emx has midi filtering, maybe you should check that it is allowing the cc's to be sent out. You'll need to consult the manual for that one though.

Ah ok! It sounds difficult for me, but I will try to figure it out when my "Studio" is completed;)
