Is it possible to have a song automatically start playing when it is loaded? I have a midi click track light that responds to midi time clock messages and would like it to respond to the new song tempo as soon as I select a song in the setlist. The only way I can get it to respond currently is to press the sequencer start button, which will not be suitable for live playing. If not, this would be a very helpful feature to have, and I'm sure other people would have uses for it as well for starting backing tracks automatically when changing from song to song.

Will do, just wanted to make sure this wasn't already possible first.

You can use a footswitch to start the sequence,if you need to free up your hands,I know its not as immediatte but its a workaround.

Why do you need to have a song specifically to start upon load up,just curious as to how your utilising it.

when I used to Play live,always used a couple of empty bars in a track to make sure the patches/Midi data etc were selected correctly first both internally and on external devices.

I'm not actually using the sequencer to play anything, but it does generate midi timecode messages when running, which I need to use for a midi click track light. This allows my drummer to have a visual click track reference for tempo that's synced up with whatever song we're playing. By having the sequencer start immediately when a song is selected, it eliminates a step and allows him to have the proper tempo right away. I really don't want to use a foot pedal or press a button to do this, but thanks for the suggestion.

The Kronos can't do that ... there's no automation of sequences at all... My biggest need for features is a cue list function that lets you play a playlist of songs back-to-back similarly to the Trinity and Triton lines. You can assign a sequence to the set list, but you still have to press the SEQ START/STOP button to start playing the sequence

I just got confirmation from Midi Solutions that their device requires a start message in order to properly figure out the tempo, so that means I'll either have to press start every time I switch a song, or hope that Korg adds the functionality of auto playing a sequence
