How do I burn my recordings from Piano Roll Composer onto a CD? I hope to use the vocoder live soon, accompanied by my original arrangements from Piano Roll Composer. The logistics of buying more equipment, let alone the right equipment, is beyond my ken right now. I have a copy of CAKEWALK 9, but ...

Thanks for the prompt and comprehensive reply. So much for laying down vocoder-vocals at home! I'm already over a thousand dollars into it with the MICROKORG, the HOSA driver-free midi-cables, a wireless dynamic microphone, and an ION-ALESIS drumkit. I did copy CAKEWALK 9 onto a CD but it contains ...

It took time to iron out the kinks, but a HOSA 76$ midi interface (which doesn't require a driver) finally worked for me. Visuals and sounds play back but not the voice aspect of the vocoder--which is why I spent 300$ on a MICROKORG in the first place. So there's always something. The lower knob ...

I feel your pain because it took hours and hours for ME to go from opening the midi-interface package (a Hosa, which doesn't require a driver, for 76$) to seeing my MICROKORG fingerings appear on my PIANO ROLL COMPOSER music-editor in real time. Turn the lower knob to MIDI. Of the five smaller knobs ...

Can any of those be downloaded from the internet?

The MICROKORG manual says that not all midi interfaces will work with it. I have a HOSA midi interface that cost me 75$, which advertizes that no drivers are required for it. After a lot of kinks concerning soundfonts, computer volume controls, and playback devices, it's working fine. IT TOOK THREE ...

I laid out 300$ for one totally because of the vocoder function. But alas, midi doesn't pick up my voice on my PIANO ROLL COMPOSER music-editor. I only get playback on the carrier instrument. What music-editing program will transfer BOTH the voice and the carrier? I hope I haven't wasted my money ...

Knobs 1-5 are important. The CLOCK knob must be set on AUTOMATIC. That way, the keyboard or controller will synch with the external device.

With the MICROKORG Vocoder, you must speak while you play. Numbers 1-3 (A&B) are factory pre-set vocoder sounds. 4-8 (A&B) must be spoken and played simultaneously. (I only use a few of them.) MY problem is finding a music-editing program that will record the carrier sound PLUS the human voice. The ...

As for me, I've got HOSA midi jumper cables feeding a MICROKORG into a PIANO ROLL COMPOSER music-editing program. After many hours of tinkering and re-reading instructions, I realized that those pesky 1-5 knobs are important for setting channels 1-16, synchronizing the clock, and/or lining up to KBP ...

I invested in a microKORG synth primarily to use the onboard vocoder. I have MIDI and several music-editing programs (PIANO ROLL COMPOSER and CAKEWALK 9). How can I make a human-voice-plus-instrument track with the vocoder WITHOUT LOSING THE HUMAN VOICE?

After three frustrating days of trying every computer trick in the book, I finally got my MIDI working. What a rush! Everything I play on my microKORG synth displays instantly on PIANO ROLL COMPOSER and I've already written some new arrangements. Although I have 16 sounds plus percussion to choose ...

I just bought a Hosa MIDI interface and plugged it into the out and in MIDI inputs on my microKORG synth. Working off-line, I pulled up PIANO ROLL COMPOSER software and a window is asking for a soundfont. What is a soundfont and how do I go about getting one?[/b]
