When working on your PC with samples (virtual instruments libraries like VSL, EWQLSO, etc), you make a midi file in a sequencer (Sonar, Cubase, etc) and you assign a sound sample for each track. Then you "render" the midi file, and it converts it to an audio file.
Is this process the same if instead of using those libraries, I use the sound of my Korg? I mean, having your Korg synthesizer conected via MIDI to your PC, is it possible to render the midi file to an audio file using the sounds of your synthsizer?
I ask this because I have always recorded my synth into the sequencer using the AUDIO IN of my PC directly, recording as audio.
Is it possible to do the "render" thing?

Thank you!

Hi!

Sorry, but it's the only way to do that...

Might have misunderstood the problem as I have never used PC samples with MIDI, but I would have thought if you send the MIDI from your PC sequencer to the Korg synth, it will play whatever synth 'sounds' the tracks/channels/patches are assigned to. If your PC cannot record this audio at the same time as playing MIDI then I see the problem, but if it can, or if you have a separate audio recording device, then what you are asking for may be possible.
Alternatively, if your synth can store the MIDI data temporarily by either 'recording' it direct from the PC, or if the synth can playback a MIDI file from a floppy disc you create with the PC, then you can free up the PC for just recording the audio.
Sorry if I have missed the point completely

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand but i beleive you want to convert midi to audio. There are 2 or 3 ways.

1 If you import the midi files into Cubase (or whatever DAW Program), you can create an audio track for each midi track . recording might be tircky. i do it from my korg pa1xpro. it has 4 outputs (L,R,1+2). I can record 4 audio channels simultaneously or six if i do the Left Right on 1 and 2. But you mute the channels that are not within the four or six track limit... and so on.

2. You can do the mix from your sequencer keyboard program and if you like it (doesn't matter if you load the midi file into the daw software or not), then using your left right out from the keyboard, You record a stereo audio into an audio track.

3. If you are using cubase and want to hear sound without converting to audio and without connecting your midi keyboard, just convert or import your midi tracks into midi instruments... or use the vst instruments (F11). You can convert to audio after routing its input to the vst out. Or just Export the instrument tracks and choose to put them back in project.

Hope this is not too much. Hope it helps.

I'm good.
Just revisiting my post , I realize I didn't solve this.
