Nope you have to turn local to OFF and then set the microKORG to respond solely on one of the 16 channels. Otherwise everytime you want to control another synth you'd hear the microKORG aswell. This way you can use the microKORG to control a softsynth on MIDI ch 2 and the microKORG itself on ch 4 for example. Turning local OFF seperates the synth engine from the control surface allowing you to use the microKORG as if it was a module in a rack. The only thing you have to remember is to set the right MIDI channel numbers in your sequencer.J_J wrote:nah man...quite the opposite..Grizzle wrote:Had one... thought it had a boring timbre. Just me though plenty of people love it. Tried to like it couldn't. THought there was this crappy grainy sheeny quality to it but the depth of tone wasn't there.
FROM THE MANUAL
"MIDI "LOCAL" setting when connecting an external MIDI sequencer or computer
If notes are sounding doubled when the microKORG is connected to an external MIDI sequencer or computer, turn the Local setting off (MIDI "LOCAL" OFF).(?p.51) If the microKORG is connected to an external MIDI sequencer or computer, and the Echo Back setting of the external MIDI sequencer or computer is turned on while the microKORG's Local Control setting is also on, the performance data generated when you play the microKORG's keyboard will be sent to the external MIDI sequencer, and will also be echoed-back to sound the microKORG's tone generator a second time. To prevent each note from being sounded twice, once directly from the keyboard and once from the echoed-back note, you must turn the microKORG's Local Control setting off."
sorry read the reply wrong... it was late
