Hi there,

Got a brand new kronos. I think it is awesome. I however am not completely awesome at using it. In the sequencer I've discovered the midi event edit. Just trying to edit a couple of mistakes out of track. I find I can edit the individually played notes but the chords seem to be in AFTT event types. I believe this stands for After Touch or something?

Anyway was wondering if it is possible to remove a misplayed note out of chord using the midi event edit and if so what am i doing wrong?

Cheers.

Hello,

Aft is for aftertouch, you are right.

To edit a chord, remove one of its notes, just select the note you want to remove in the edit window and delete it. To find a note in a chord, you'll see that they are several notes, depending on what chord you played, that are at the same timing: so all notes are separated but at a same timing.

Thanks for that. I was just scrolling in the edit view and was looking in the wrong section of the measure (that is there were a whole heap of notes above the area I was looking at. Found that damn note though and it is gone.

Thanks again for the reply.

You can also always use the filter in the MIDI event edit dialog to mask events you don't necessarily want to see. When you select MIDI Event Edit from the Track Edit drop down menu, you're presented with filter options. Just clear the boxes next to data you don't want cluttering up your view.

For instance, to only see note data, leave the box next to "Note" filled in red and touch all of the other boxes (next to "Control Change," "Pitch Bend," "Aftertouch," "Exclusive," "Program Change" and "Poly Aftertouch") to remove the little red squares, which results in omitting that data from what you will see on the next screen. All you'll have are note names, positions within the track and durations.

Likewise, if you accidentally hit a note a little hard and got some sort of annoying aftertouch-driven modulation you didn't want, you can filter out all of the other data and edit it out. Really a huge time-saver when working on complex tracks that you pretty much nailed and really don't want to do over.

The event filter has been a staple on pretty much every Korg workstation's sequencer I've had over the years...even my old 8-track T-1. It's as indispensable to me as the "Compare" key!!!

Hope this helps...

Appreciate the advice. Yeah that filter totally helps. Now that I have an idea of what some of those event types are too. Guess I just have to play around to see what does what?

You got any recommendations about learning this stuff, maybe korg specific? Books, websites, videos etc? I've watched all the Kronos video manuals which were affective. I've got a decent knowledge of music but lacking from the electronic/digital side. Given the length of time you've been using korgs I'd say you could write the book yourself.

Thanks.

I found helpful the videos from Korg on Youtube, username KorgUSAVideos. Here is the link to one that you might find useful now that the pads are working in USB:

Watch videos for other Korg instruments, most of the stuff applies to Kronos, Rich Formidone is VERY good at explaining everything.

Excellent thanks.
