|
|
forgive me that i don't know the proper terminology.
i'm programming an 88 key korg triton extreme right now for a musical.
how would do it if i wanted, say, a G2 when pressed to play that G, the D above, the F about that, and the A above that? such that, playing one note triggers many. and, in the same combination, having other notes do the same (with other combinations of notes).
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
N |

Thats kinda a complicated and also most of the results unsatisfactory.
We in the Balkans use something like that called Terca but thats only
with 2 notes and its done thru User Scales for proper triggering of notes
but in your case for many notes and also for all the keys it is almost
impossible if not impossible...unless someone has an idea which i dont believe so. _________________ http://www.basaristudios.com

If you just wanted that exact same semitone pattern spread across the whole keyboard, then it is easy.
Just make three of the same (or different) program in a combi.
Set the transpose of one to 0, the other to +7, and the third one to +10, etc.
Aside from that, you could program a static note pattern using RPPR, but it would need to be tied down rhythmically in some way.
RPPR allows you to create a pattern and assign it to a key. So theoretically at least that pattern could be a chord like you ask.
RPPR is only available in sequencer mode. Because of the extra facilities and timbres available in sequencer mode, a number of people (like myself) set up and play all our live sets in sequencer mode. Even without any music actually 'sequenced', it is useful as an 'extended combi'. _________________ Current Gear: Kronos 61, RADIAS-R, Volca Bass, ESX-1, microKorg, MS2000B, R3, Kaossilator Pro +, MiniKP, AX3000B, nanoKontrol, nanoPad MK II,

here, take a look at this pic:
http://tinypic.com/r/2e58tj8/7
that's from the score i'm working with...as you can see, the trigger note in the first bar (an Eb) needs to play the 6 notes, and the Db trigger in the next bar needs to play 6 other notes.
similar things happen about 10 other times in the score, and i'd like to be able to program all this with a korg and not have to deal with the kurzweil and rolands as listed in the programming notes. |

Xtrade is right about using RPPR patterns for what you need.
And there is really nothing hard to it.
In sequencer mode you should record single bar pattern with all those keys needed for one chord or what ever that is you want to play simultaneously. You don't even have to record it, just use step sequencing and input desired notes. Save pattern. Assign pattern to some key using RPPR function. When ever you press that key, all the prerecorded notes will play simultaneously.
Create as many patterns as combinations of keys needed. Spread those patterns to several keys using RPPR function. You'll have all your chords/combinations on few keys.
RPPR function can be used for literaly anything - triggering sysex messages, changing timbre parameters, playing keys, playing arpeggios, triggering arpeggios, changing programs in timbre...
If you aren't familiar with terminology used in this post, then there is a chance you don't know how to make patterns on Korg, or how to use RPPR.
If this is the case (and I'm not saying it is, don't think I'm underestimating your knowledge) read Parameter Guide in Sequencer Mode chapter.
You don't have to deal with Kurzweil or Roland for this. |

you could create samples with all the desired notes and assign them to the proper keys in a combi. you can use the sw buttons to mute them if you don't need those note clusters all the time. |
