Setting up a combi with drum arps. Firmware is glitchy?
Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2018 6:46 am
Is there a set of steps for setting up a brand new combi from blank initial settings, that shows how to add drum arp to any track.
The problem I have is that it seems you need:
- to set the combi settings 3.1 midi tab, set it to INT and set a midi channel. Most of the presets seem to use midi channel 2 and 3 which is not documented in the manual. No matter what I use, altering these values has no proper effect, or rather, it may seem to work while editing the combi but if you save the combi, the settings do not work, the drum sound won't trigger.
- you also need to set up combi edit arp page 6.1, setup and arp a and arp b, and zone.
Neither of the above is sufficient on a new patch. THere's more undocumented magic, or there's firmware bugs in my Korg TR combi editing.
What I believe is:
1. You can only get a drum and bass combi by copying an existing DnB combi and then altering it.
2. There are bugs and weird midi routing issues when uyou start altering midi channels and arp A/B settings in a live program ,that cause the live arp setting to not match the values on screen, and not play properly.
3. There are bugs that cause the arp settings not to be loaded when loading the combi.
4. Only factory presets, saved to a new slot works to get around these glitches.
Weird one.
