Multi Pad creation using SMF

[Nick G]

Ill start first by stating what I am trying to achieve and then maybe someone can tell me if there is abetter way of doing this?

I want to convert some multi pads from my Yamah PSR Keyboard to my Korg PA4x...

First thing I did was record the multi pad in a single SMF track into Cakewalk Bandlab. All the midi data (notes, control changes etc) have been recorded.

I have saved the SMF as a Midi format 1 and deleted ALL other tracks so its juts a single track SMF.

I import the SMF into the SONG creator in the PA4x and when i press PLAY channel 7 plays the midi file and after a few sound tweaks I can get everything sound just how I want it to be...

I then save the song... I import the song into the multi pad creator as CV1 but no data comes across and nothing plays etc... when I go to the event edit list - there is nothing...

I screwed around for a ages last night on this but cant seem to find a way to select channel 7 from the song to import into the multi pad creator...

What am I doing wrong??

I've imported a midi track from DAW to a pad before. It's been a long time , but I vaguely remember I had to assign the midi track to channel 10. I imported the midi straight from the flash drive into one of the pads I think.

Yep that worked! So the midi data needs to be on channel 10... thanks!!
