Korg Forums

I would be soooo happy if Korg would acknowledge the existence of Japan, the most musical country in the world, with some Japan-oriented styles, like their flavor of modern Jazz, pop, soundtrack and anime styles. The western styles are tired and boring.

For reasons I cannot understand, this ability to call up songbook by MIDI stopped working today. Pa5X is not calling up the songbook like it did yesterday and the day before that. I cannot find a reason why.

Thank you. This works, but looks completely different that the manual describes. It's MUCH simpler! Only oner line with 320 in the Data field and the book number in the unmarked field in the Event list. Now the only problem is that when the Pa5X is set to receive on ch 16, my sound levels for most ...

That's what I'm putting into Cakewalk's Event list, just like that. And it's all on Ch 16 and the MIDI setup I activated is one with ch16 set to receive control data. I'm quite certain the Korg is set up correctly. What I'm not sure about is whether the data is formatted right in Cakewalk. The ...

Still not working even though I assigned my songbook entry as "1" and set the prefs so that Name-Artist-Num is shown. The manual says this: "Pa5X must receive on the special Control channel the NRPN Control Change messages #99 (MSB, with value 2) and #98 (LSB, with value 64) in fast succession, as ...

I never thought of that. I guess the mixer FX settings are stored in there as well as the notes. I just tried saving my "songbook" entry, but how do I determine what "number" it is so that I can select it via MIDI? Each songbook entry shows a name, but I see nothing numeric. Just for sake of ...

Context: I'm working with Cakewalk Sonar and performances are recorded as MIDI inside Sonar project files. This far, I've discovered that I can control track EQ with NPRN values. I experimented by manipulating the controls on the Pa5X while Cakewalk was recording MIDI data. However, I get no data ...

Untick Fixed Note Off Velocity

That option was unticked. For the heck of it, I selected it and played the file. Now it sounds right. Just the right amount of mechanical noise.

Thanks for pointing it out!

Not a problem if I play from the keyboard itself, but if I drive the Pa5X with a DAW, the German and Italian pianos have a loud knocking sound on every note release. The only piano that doesn't do this is the Austrian. But I want a darker, less tinkly high end, so I'd like to use the German grand ...

Only a couple of the new styles are mildly interesting.
Most of them sound like boring American pop music.
Still waiting for Korg to recognize Japan on the world menu.

I cautiously installed it (had so many disasters this year that I was genuinely afraid this would be yet another) and it went in without any issues. In playing with it last night, I am pleased to report that the problem of the key change when playing a chord sequence and hitting one of the End ...

Thanks everyone for your kind remarks. I've a long recovery ahead and will have to be on meds the rest of my remaining life. The chest pains are gone, but blood thinners make me feel dizzy and have frequent nose bleeds. About the only thing I CAN do is play with my Pa5X at this point. No outdoor ...

Sorry for my delayed response (I had a major heart attack on Friday and was just released from the hospital after a stent implant in my LAD artery). I never like to use fades as it's symbolic of poor musicianship not to know how to end a song properly. Some of the discussion of how this works is ...

When playing styles with a chord sequence, why doesn't the intro and endings respect the key that the chord sequence is in? It instead jumps to Cmaj when I select any End button and it's often jarring.

I found out why there's no sound from that particular keyboard set: The answer is in the KBD ensemble settings. The Bottom Velocity for Upper 3 is set to 94 in that style program. If I really slam hard on the keys, it WILL make a sound. In this style, it's intended to make the brass "flare" when ...
