Korg Forums

So I am trying to control my korg with an external midi, got everything connected but it just does not work. I am using the M Audio keystation as MIDI OUT, the manual explains how to change midi channels within the keystation but i am still not getting anywhere. I tried switching the clock for the korg, switched from usb to midi mode, tried different channels, turned loacality off, nothing. I am trying to do this without a PC so its just hardware to hardware. Any Ideas? Not sure if a setting within the keystation is causing the failure but its hard to tell because you cant see the settings you are changing. Unfortunately I dont have another MIDI controller to test things out

If i presume your MKXL was new and had never been changed, it is probably still on default MIDI channel 1 receive. Therefore is should be as simple as telling your MIDI keyboard to send that channel with the cable connected as you have described, or send to all channels for the most basic operation check.
