MICROKORG MIDI ISSUE

Post by constantino_beats »

my midi keyboard MICROKORG recognizes two keys or three keys when I press a note, it recognizes the midi but I can't use it 100% in programs like fl studio because when I press one it sounds another or makes other kinds of strange sounds.

im using a MIDI to USB adapter

any help? OR Solution i tried all the configs with the synth[/b]

Hi,

It is not exactly clear what you want to do... Please elaborate.
E.g. the microKorg is not a midi keyboard. What do you mean by it recognizes 2 or 3 keys? Where do you press a note? On the mK?

Things to consider:
* You want to use the keyboard of the mK and record the MIDI notes it generates that in FL?
* You want to use the sound engine of the mK and control it via MIDI from FL?
* You want to combine both?

Also have a look at the local off setting on the microKorg. If you hit a key on the mK, it will transfer it to MIDI out, but not to the sound engine. FL can probably loop back to key over MIDI IN to make the note sound again.

Have fun

MICROKORG MIDI ISSUE

Hi

Thanks.

What I want to do with my mk is to use it as a midi, the problem is related to the keyboard, the keyboard mk recognizing two keys when I press only one on a vst or just only press one key, for example if I press the C key just after pressing it, the daw recognizes another key " A or B or another note of the mk, it seems that it goes crazy


Things to consider:

* You want to use the keyboard of the mK and record the MIDI notes it generates that in FL?


YES, i want to use it


* You want to use the sound engine of the mK and control it via MIDI from FL?


i dont wanna use the MK sound, only MIDI



* You want to combine both?

no, no


all the mk configs MIDI AUX OR AUTO , OFF RESONANCE AND CHANNEL 1
Thanks

Ok, so you want to use the keyboard of the mK to control/record in FL, but you are not interested as such in the sound of the mK.

In that case, make sure to connect ONLY the MIDI OUT port on the mK to the MIDI IN connection of your USB-MIDI cable. Leave the rest dangling.
Try also to set the MIDI clock to external on the mK.

If you then still get these problems, you should maybe try the application MIDI OX (free download) which can monitor MIDI traffic, this can help you rule out whether is due to the cable+mK or a wrong setting in FL. (In the first case, you should also see there the double notes appearing, while pushing only one key)

Also you can consider to use another USB-MIDI cable. Some of the cheaper models are simply rubbish.

Good luck!
