Your playing on the keyboard is transmitted on the global MIDI channel, and will sound any timbre that matches this channel. When this is set to Gch, the MIDI channel of the timbre will always match the global MIDI channel, even if you change the global MIDI channel. On some preloaded combinations, Timbres used by arpeggiator may have their MIDI Channels set to something other than Gch. These will be timbres that play only when arpeggiator is on­a very useful technique for creating "arpeggiator-utilized" combinations. For more details, see "The arpeggiator in Combination and Multi modes" (p. 95). In particular, note the relationships between arpeggiator assignments and MIDI Channel. For details on how to access each mode, page, and the utility commands, and how to edit values, see "Basic operations" (p. 19). Comparing (original and edited sounds) When you're in the process of editing a sound, pressing the [COMPARE] button will recall the saved version of the sound, as it was before you started editing. To indicate that you are listening to the saved version, the button's LED will light up. Pressing [COMPARE] button again returns you to the version you are editing, and the LED will go out again. If you edit while the COMPARE LED is lit, the button will again go dark and your previous edits will be lost. 63 Combination Program Setup Introduction Selecting a program for each timbre Playing and Editing Combinations MIDI filter settings Here you can specify whether the MIDI data sent and received by timbres 1­8 will be filtered. Layers, Splits, and Velocity switches Within a Combination, you can use note number and velocity to determine which Timbres will sound. The Programs assigned to each Timbre can sound in three ways: as part of a layer, a split, or a velocity switch. A Combination can be set to use any one of these methods, or to use two or more of these methods simultaneously. If a check box is checked, the corresponding MIDI data can be sent and received. If "Status" is INT, movements of the microX's controllers or incoming MIDI data will apply an effect for the program of that timbre. (Effect Dynamic Modulation functionality is not affected by these settings. ) If the "Status" is EXT or EX2, movements of the microX's controllers will transmit MIDI data on the channel of that timbre. MIDI transmit/receive settings for the entire microX are made in "MIDI Filter" (GLOBAL 1). If a check box is unchecked, the corresponding MIDI data will not be sent or received. [. . . ] The connected device or software may not support the messages you are transmitting. See the owner's manual of the connected device or software to verify that it responds to the messages you are transmitting. When using USB, sound processing is slow, or the tempo is unstable Is the MIDI driver installed for the USB port you've connected? The driver must be installed for each USB port you use. If you connect the microX to a USB port other than the port you used when installing the KORG USB-MIDI Driver for Windows XP, you'll need to reinstall the KORG USBMIDI Driver. [. . . ]
