|
|
Hi forum,
Maybe I've been missing something as I scavenge the internet but I just can't seem to figure out this "Global" MIDI issue. Say I set the MIDI channel on pattern B.53 to MIDI CH. 3 for synth keys 1,2, and 4, and have my MicroKorg receiving the signal on CH. 3. I now have a super cool organ chord playing that I can manipulate and mess around with which is awesome. Unfortunately, when I switch my pattern- let's say to B.54, synth keys 1,2 and 4 will be sending notes to the Microkorg because the MIDI channel for every pattern in the EMX-1 was changed to MIDI CH. 3! It doesn't matter if I've pressed "no" when it asks me "Global Write" because it changed whether I write it to the pattern or not.
The only way I've managed to fix this is by unplugging the MIDI cord to which then have the original synth parts I recorded in B.54 playing from the box rather than the Microkorg. This is alright for home recording but for a live situation I can't be pulling out the cord every time a new pattern kicks in because the new pattern doesn't require the Microkorg.
So my question is, how can I individually set MIDI channels for each pattern? Only a few songs use the Microkorg, so what I would like to do is set the MIDI CH. to 3 for songs that use the Microkorg and then every other pattern I would like to set to 16 so there was no interference.
If I haven't confused anybody I look forward to your responses! |

You're not missing anything, you can't do what you want. Global midi ch is just that, global, ie for all patterns. All you accomplish by not performing a global write is that the setting will not be remembered on power off.
Why don't you just mute the micro korg when your not using it? |

Ah, that's too bad, however, you're solution did prompt the idea of changing the MIDI channel on the microkorg so that it wouldn't play. Thank you kindly! |

I suppose that works too, glad I could help. |
