Strange behaviour when modifying an existing style...

Post by vip »

Hello,
Sometime when I take an existing track for modifying it :
For example, I add a snare on the Drum track, while recording it's ok but when I switch to another track (perc for example) the snare of the drum track has automatically increased a lot its velocity !
When exiting the record function and playing the style, the snare has that increased velocity ! This is annoying because I cannot play the velocity I like.

Is it a bug, or have I missed something ? :shock:

This can happen whey you inadvertently record a loop twice. For example you set variation length = 2 measures, but then play drums for 3 or 4 measures. Then you get double notes in this track (you can check this by opening the event edit page). If you have double notes, then this is the cause of the problem.
If there are no double notes, try to switch keyboard velocity sensivity OFF. Then you will get all the same velocities (90). If you really get something different than 90 and no double notes, then this may be a software problem.
Good luck!

Hi thanks for this idea, I have checked the Event List but no double notes.
The velocity of the snare in the event list is around 80, and when I playback the style in playing mode it sounds as 127!

The strange thing is when I selected the drum track for recording (that little red icon on the track) then I press start, then the correct velocity is played back. When I switch recording to another track (perc for example) then it plays the higher velocity.
It's like it is playing high velocity as soon as I leave the recording of that drum track.

I'll try full erase that track and see what happen.

After having a closer look, I believe that it is not changing the velocity, but the sound...
In fact I am playing the snare which is on A0 of the first drum kit (Standard Kit RX1) and then when I leave recording the sound played back seems to be the one on D2.

And even more : If I recording the D2 sound, the A0 sound is played back, so I have "temporarily" solved my problem.

Strange isn't it?

Hello I found the problem (which was not a bug) It was the parameter Kick & Snare Designation in Menu-->Style Controls.

I forgot that the PA800 has the capability to override drums sounds when playing back :oops:

Korg PA are so powerful !

Glad that you solved the problem :D
Yep, Pa800 is a very versatile instrument.
I just remembered that pressing "Track" button in Style mode opens a page where every instrument can be overridden. Including the drum and percussion tracks... This may also affect the performance :wink:
