MIDI Play along

[mariusster]

Hi guys,
Nice to meet you, this is my first post here. I'm hoping I can describe my problem properly.
I'm a recent and pretty proud owner of a Korg microArranger.
Now, I'm trying to play along a midi file in Song mode. What I've done:

1. loaded the song
2. chose a trac in track select screen; Here i vould have expected the small 'keyboard' icon to appear, but I couldn't manage it. Any way, continuing with
3. hit play on Seq 1
4. started playing on the keyboard.

all great so far, apart from the following:
The keyboard sound is really anemic. It looks like it's volume is actually controlled by the accomp slider AND the Assign slider (with it's default setting, it's controlling the keyboard volume on my MA). I increased the track volume to max, but it's still mostly unaudible. Even more, muting the track seems to mute my keyboard alltogether.
Any advice from more experienced users ?
All I want is to play along with the MIDI file and maybe be able to mute the MIDI track I'm playing so I cah hear my performance.

Thanks for your attention.
Marius

I found a workaround: instead of activating the keys on the 'karaoke' track, I just setup another unused track for use with the keys. This way I can set the volume as needed

When you want to play by sequencer you need to use SONG PLAY mode not SONG.
In SONG PLAY mode you can control keyboard tracks (UP1/2/3) as on STYLE PLAY
