I am wrestling with Cubase Essentials 5 and a Microstation.
I can get a Midi track set up, see inmput activity and get sound BUT I cannot set up another track and get a different sound. Whichever track I use the rest of the tracks are assigned the same sound.
It is driving me mental.
Is this straightforward?

Hello,
Left from the arrange window is the inspector. There you can assign midi channels. (all, 1 to 16). What I don't know is if your Korg is Multitimbral. That means it can use more than one sound at a time. I think this is the point. I have a Korg R3, and it only plays one sound at a time.
Cheers

The track has MIDI input and MIDI output.
ALSO MIDI CHANNEL !
So if you are using another track with the same midi output and midi channel, you will have 2 tracks using one midi channel as out.
Did you try to change the midi channel > ?
And, is your Korg multitimbral (meaning, does it have combi, or does it support more then one sound/tone/program in the same time ) >?
Later edit:
Keyboard:
61 mini-key Natural Touch keyboard;
Velocity-sensing
Sounds:
Programs:
512 Programs / 480 Preloaded
Combinations:
384 Combinations / 256 Preloaded
So it is multitibral but you must work in Combi Mode.
The system is like this:
Programs are INSTRUMENTS , made of OSC (Oscillators) or tones, or sounds/sampling.
In programs you can save different versions of a Piano.
A long, sustained one, or another version of it.
In Combi, you cand "combine" programs on 16 tracks.
You can split, double, make any combination you want, using 1 to 16 midi channels, with 16 programs on 16 tracks.
Let's say you want to work a song.
By default a comby (initial) has 16 track asigned with a midi channel:
Track 1 - midi ch. 1
Track 2 - midi ch. 2
....
....
Track 16 - midi ch.16
From Cubase you should transmit on the midi channel you want to use.
If on 1 you have put a Pad sound, on midi 2 (track 2) if you have a piano, from cubase, you should go out on the MIDI Channel 2, even if you have 3-4 tracks asigned to MIDI 1, for PAD.
The usefull thing of multitrack on the same channel is when you want tohave parts that contain Program Change and if you want to have it on different tracks for a quick look/find view.
I hope it helps...
