Issues Saving modified GM SMF!
Posted: Sat Feb 15, 2020 9:38 pm
The majority of the time I use KORG TRITON EXTREME's programs and combis with slight modification. I also sequence frequently to develop the work.
I have some cool GM files that I have been working on that were not written on the KORG. Modifying & saving them on the KORG does present challenge.
I have imported some GM midi files and wanted to IMPORT & play them in the Extreme.
The files are GM SMF. When they are imported b not all of the track sound addresses match up correctly when the Sequencer is set up to GM initialize.
The Tracks are spelled Drums, bass, piano, flute, vibes etc.
One all the tracks are tweaked they play correctly and beautifully.... ONCE!
Once done , and the song ends, everything resets with recently edited track programs forgotten. YEs, the programs return to their initial settings.
How can I import & modify these GM / SMF and have them play in the KORG's Sequencer to always remember the changes so they are saved permanently?
Within the TRITON EXTREME's palette of sound choices here are better sound programs: basses, pianos, percussion,woodwinds etc. that can be substituted in the tracks.
Very frustrating.
All I want to do is modify the programs within the sequence and also modify the sequence and save the work either as a SNG or a SMF.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated!
Would saving modified SMF as sngs preserve the changes to the track programs?
Would saving modified SMF as SMF preserve the changes to track settings?
If so on Triton EX, save as SMF file 0 or 1 ?
Are there KORG Master track secrets to unravel here?
