Notes sticking with KORG K61P MIDI Keyboard

Hey guys and gals:
i finally got my KORG K61P MIDI Keyboard working in Garageband. Only thing is, a lot of times wheni play notes, they stick or hang. Now, i've noticed with some looking on other forums that people are having similar problems, but i haven't really found any solutions, so i thought i'd ask here.
i have the keyboard hooked up straight to the MacBook Pro with a USB cable. Everything seems fine except for this sticking. If you need any other info that i'm missing, please ask. Desperation! LOL

Someone, anyone, please? lol

Is there any way to use the Korg Kaossilator Pro with Garageband 6.0.5?

I'm getting pretty decent at working around with the newest version of Garageband. I've gotten my Akai MPK Mini (usb/midi keyboard) to work by adjusting a few preferences here and there, but for the last week I have been trying and trying to get my Korg Kaossilator Pro to hook up MIDI with Garageband. I understand if the program/software isn't as advanced as Logic or Ableton (be getting those soon!) If anybody could help me it would be MUCH appreciated
P.S. if anybody is having troubles with exporting the AIFF/WAV/MP3 audio files I could give you a bit of help. I have figured out how to correctly export the audio loops and sounds that I have made from my Kaossilator Pro into Garageband! It is quite simple actually and is ALOT easier than you would think. Following the tempo/pitch for your song w/ these WAV/AIFF files is really easy too! I have made almost 4 songs now just using samples and loops from my Kaossilator Pro. I just would like to know if anybody has found out how to use it MIDI w/ Garageband? It would REALLY help me out Thanks!

yeeeeah thats what i've been figuring out for the last 12 hours haha. kinda've a pain but hey it works out. u can still throw some pretty cool effects and what not. Even with MIDI cables running from my kaoss pro into my mac doesn't work. i can transfer the loops I make on my kaoss pro to the editor on my comp, then transfer those files to GB then go from there. It ***** there isn't a way to hook it in and sync it w/ GB so you can hit record then start jamming on the kaoss pro. Thanks for the response though!

At the moment Korg says this regarding MIDI:
*11/16/10 - A note regarding Mac OSX 10.6.5:*
Korg is currently evaluating compatibility between Mac OSX 10.6.5 and all Korg/ software. At this time, we recommend remaining at your current Mac OS version, to assure optimal performance of your software. Please look for updates here at korg.com/support.
if you want to record the actual audio from your keyboard for now, you can use _this cable_

External MIDI device, can't get more than one sound, Logic Express 9 & Korg N364

Hi, I just beginning to use Logic. I trying to get Logic Express 9 to work with and use my Korg N364 keyboard/workstation as an external MIDI device. I can only get one sound at a time even though I create multiple tracks and assign different programs (or patches) to them.
Each time I do the following: I add a new external MIDI track, change the Channel to new number, put a check in the Program box ( as well as the Volume & Pan), and choose a instrument or patch from the Program drop down menu. What happens, though, it changes the sound to that instrument alright, but ALL THE PREVIOUS EXTERNAL MIDI TRACKS HAVE THE SAME SOUND NOW. I've followed the tutorials I found on the web and it seems like I'm doing everything correct in Logic. I hooked up the MIDI cables, added a new device and connected virtual cables in the MIDI studio window of my Mac OS, and have added the proper Korg multi instrument in the environment window of Logic and "un-slashed" the 16 channels. I get the sounds from the Korg no problem, it's just that I can only assign one sound and no more to the external MIDI tracks. Is there something in my Korg I need to do? Or am I missing something in Logic?

It's not Logic, it's how you have the Korg setup.
I'm not familiar with that model but it is a workstation so I'm pretty sure you can set it to a "Multi" mode.
Right now you are running it in single patch mode.
In single patch mode only one sound is available on a single MIDI channel, your Korg probably has a Multi or Combi mode, this is where multiple sounds can be played, each sound has to have it's own MIDI channel.
You will need to set this up on the Korg first.

What is the best way to connect a Korg Trinity-Pro to logic.

And use the Sounds from the Korg to record Midi.
Not to use the Korg to play Midi in Logic, using Logic-Sounds,
but the sounds from the Korg to record Midi.

I hear ya blkayzay, I am building in my environment a controller for my new Lexicon MX400 reverb. Lexicon says it has an Audio Unit plugin to control it, BUT it is only PPC, and I'm on an Intel mahcine.
So I am enjoying the wonderful experience* of cabling things in the environment to control it.
So, dr9, do you know how to build a couple of buttons, one to increment a preset by one, and one to decrement by one? I'm stuck there. all the other functions I am able to control easily. But this feature to be able to change presets up and down, is not really working for me. I do have the presests on a text object, as a menu, so I can choose which one to recall...but...it would be soooo cool to be able to increment by one when searching for a close sound.

Connecting Korg Keyboard to Macbook Pro

Hi there guys. I've recently bought a Macbook Pro and subsequently bought Logic Pro 9 with the intention of recording a variety of music.
I may sound like a plonker - but would love to know what cable I would need to buy to connect my Korg X50 to the MBP. Can I buy a usb cable that would connect the 2? I'm pretty sure there wasn't a cable with the keyboard...
I'm completely new to the Mac and Logic world - so little words with few syllables please folks! :O)
Thanks for taking the time to look at my post.
Cheers
Ben

Ben...
I purchased a Macbook Pro and Logic Pro software about a year ago (Logic Pro version 8 was the latest at the time) in order to record some original ballads that I had arranged and composed using a Yamaha Clavinova CVP-307M. There are two different elements to recording when starting from a piano / keyboard / synthesizer.
One element is the actual musical note information, the specific notes that you are playing with your hands on the piano / keyboard. This musical note information is able to be captured by the computer in real-time while you are playing the piano for purposes of having the computer use your Korg X50 to playback the song at a later time. This scenario of playing back musical note information uses the MIDI standards that date back to the early 1980's.
Another element is the actual sound that the Korg X50 can generate using the sounds that are built into the Korg X50. You can get a computer to record the actual sound being generated by the Korg X50 as well.
I will explain the physical connections for both scenarios:
For starters, you will need to purchase an external audio device that will add some additional connections to your Macbook Pro. This device will create the MIDI connections to and from your Korg X50, and the same device will also have audio input jacks in order to capture the sound being generated by the Korg X50. This device will connect to your Macbook Pro using either a Firewire or a USB connection. The Macbook Pro comes with a Firewire 800 port which is different from the older Firewire 400 port. The audio device you purchase may require Firewire 400 and not 800, so you will have to purchase an Express Card in order for your Macbook to have a Firewire 400 port to connect to the audio device you'd be getting. ( I had to get an express card for firewire 400 in order to connect my audio device I purchased from M-Audio, model Firewire 410). The Firewire 400 express card would slide into the small, rectangular slot located on the left side of the Macbook.
Once you have purchased and connected the audio device to your Macbook, you will have two, round 5-pin DIN connectors on the audio device and the back of your Korg. These 5-pin, round connectors are the MIDI in and out connections, and these will be used to send and receive musical note information between the Korg and the Macbook. You would purchase two 5-pin MIDI cables at your desired cable length; typically a MIDI cable is available up to 15 feet in length.
To have the computer record the actual sound coming from the Korg, you would simply connect a quarter-inch audio cable from the Korg output(s) to the quarter-inch audio input jack on the audio device connected via USB or Firewire on the Macbook. If you only connect the Left audio out to the computer, you can use the Logic software to capture the sound in stereo in order for the finished recording to have the sound on both the left and right speakers.

GarageBand (4.1.2) only allows 1 software track using Korg MicroStation Plug-in Editor as software sound generator.

I'm using a Korg Microstation with GarageBand (4.1.2,2008), and installed the included plug-in editor to create software-based tracks per instructions. The first (default, grant piano) track allows me to select the Korg Microstation as the sound generator for the track, enabling access to all the Korg sounds: information is properly transmitted and loaded from the Korg into GB. However, no additional tracks can be created in the GB file; attempts to do so trigger the following 2 messages: 1) Failed to load Audio Unit, please contact the manufacturer for an updated version or further assistance. (-10110), followed by: 2) Failed initializing the plug-in. Please check your instrument library and make sure it contains the right factory presets. I've tried just duplicating the first track, but this brings up the same messages. To summarize: I am unable to create more than 1 track in a GB file using the Korg Plug-in editor as the sound generator. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who' encountered this problem!

Update for GarageBand v6.0.5
I used a Korg Microstation and recorded midi to a track in garageband (made edits, etc) and then output the midi back to the Korg again via the supplied VST.
I then created a real instrument track to record the results from via audio inputs.
The best thing with the Korg Microstation is that you can create Zones on the keyboard to use different instruments.
This was the result:

This is the only way round it I have found.
I am looking for a simple 16 track midi sequencer... wish me luck.

Logic 7.1.x and Korg software M1

I used Korg softsyn M1 as one of AU plug-in in Logic pro 7.1.1
I found the patch (sound instrument) and other parameters could not be changed (or freezed) when the Korg M1 is in multi-channel mode (8 channels).
Any ideas?
Howard

Maybe I used a wrong word. "Freeze" simply means parameters, including instrument/patch, cannot be changed.
Do anyone try M1 at Logic 7.x and share experience?
Howard
================
You can't freeze multi-channel instruments.

Need help with MIDI for Korg M3

My current set up is Korg M3 and Access Virus TI2; audios are hooked into a Behring Xenyx 1204fx (USB) with both M3 and Virus TI2 USB plugged into my MAC.
Right now I'm having difficulty in setting up MIDI tracks on Logic 9 using MIDI channels from my Korg M3. I would please like an explanation/instructions as to how to set up MIDI channels with Logic 9 for my M3.
My Virus has a TI-program that is a plug-in to manage its own MIDI-channels, and was also wondering if Korg M3 had a software similar to that.
Thanks

Hi James
1st check and make sure you have midi coming into Logic. look at the right side of the transport, where it says no in and no out, when you play your keyboard does midi info show up there. if it does, you have midi coming in, if not, then there is a communication problem with your controller
next choose the correct track. there are 3 types of tracks in Logic to record music to:
Audio Tracks, for recording audio, ie voice, guitar etc
Audio Instrument tracks, for playing logic built in virtual instruments
Midi tracks, for playing instruments that are outside of logic, like midi keyboards, modules, and multi VI's
if you are choosing a midi track, these are the default tracks in logic that have the icons, like piano, synth and bass, you will not get any sound unless you have an outboard midi keyboard or module that you are using
choose an Audio Instrument track, they are labeled Inst 1, Inst 2 etc. you have to assign and instrument to them. at the left you will see a channel strip, about the middle of the channel strip there is a Label that says "I/O" this is for in and out and this is where you assign the instrument to be played

Korg Wavestation Plug ins not appearing in Logic 9.1.3

Hi all;
New to the Forums and Logic. I just upgraded to Logic Express from Garageband and Im still pretty new. I am finding my way around ok but I am having an issue with my Korg Wavestation Plug ins showing up in Logic.
They show up fine in Garageband, and if I open a Garageband Project that used Wavestation instrumentation they are there too.
However, If I start a new projct The choice for Wavestation does not appear, only the Apple Plug ins. I went into the AU manager and KORG wavestation is listed nd I tried uninstall and reinstall. Am I supposed to use MIDI in stead of sofware instrument ?
BTW its Korg Legacy Collection v1.6.6 Logic is v 9.1.3 and Its on a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHZ Duo Core with 8GB RAM
Any help appreciated... I searched but couldnt find any relevant threads
M

Set Logic to open in 32-bit mode, then open a default empty project (not one you're working on) Logic should validate the plugins... after it's finished, close Logic, re-set to 64-bit mode and you should be ok.

How can I get my Korg M50 Workstation to work in Logic?

I'm assuming I have to get a MIDI interface.... Will this allow me to use the sounds on my Korg keyboard in Logic 8 Express and record them in Logic in perfect quality? In Logic, how do I get it to recognize my Korg?
Any help would be great, I'm new to all of this and the manual is making me nuts!
Kyle

Learn something: Nothing in life is "safe". But you can buy one if you really want to However, like i said: If you have the opportunity to test one in the store, go for it.
I would recommend a firewire interface, but that's totally up to you. Many here would recommend the Apogee Duet, but we've heard of broken devices there, too. I myself have a broken Alesis that needs multiple plug into USB / pull out of USB to start up, but once it works, it is great. I used an Edirol UA-25 EX with great pleasure and usually work with the Tascam Fireone.
To test the Thing, connect a dynamic mic and record something with the Gain knobs turned to full gain. Listen to the hiss. Listen to the soft background noises of the room you are testing in (maybe cough or tell something far away from the mic, hear a car passing by or so). Buy the one with the least hiss while having clear and crisp background noises.

Help Me Connect My Korg NanoPad2, Please!

I have been using Audition CS5.5 for two years now. A year ago, I purchased a Korg NanoPad2 in the hopes of being able to connect it to Audition and creating the projects of my dreams. There has been ONE BIG problem however: THE DEVICE WILL NOT LINK UP WITH THE PROGRAM.
I have tried to connect it thru the VST option with no progress. I have projects I can not finish becasue I am not able to connect my device. How do I get this device to connect so thatI can use my VST's?

Something like the NanoPad is presumably using MIDI control to play sounds. These sort of sounds are VST Instruments which Audition does not support rather than VST Effects which it does.
Audition is an audio file editor not a music sequencer which is what you would need need to play VST instruments.

I can´t get the drum tracks of my Korg M50 to sound in garageband. Does anyone know how?

I can´t get the drum tracks of my Korg M50 to sound in garageband. Does anyone know how?

If it's actual audio out from the M50, you just need to hook up its audio outs into whatever you're using to get sound into the computer (audio interface, the computer's input jack, whatever it is that you're using), fire up a real audio track, and record.
But if you're having difficult with drum tracks, that's usually this:
Drum tracks on many MIDI devices default to MIDI channel 10. MIDI channel 10 is like the universal MIDI channel for drum tracks. However, GB likes to see MIDI channel 1, regardless of the instrument.
Therefore, if this is a MIDI issue, you'd need to change the MIDI channel on your drum tracks from 10 to 1 to make them GB friendly.

Trying to use a Korg computer w/ Garageband

Hi - my friend recently gave me a micro-Korg keyboard to use with Garageband. I purchased the M-audio MidiSport Uno USB-to-MIDI interface and plugged it into the computer, but nothing is happening. Is there anything else that I need to do? This is my first time trying something like this so I may be missing software. Help if you can. Thanks!

You do not need to run the setup disk...you can configure your router manually.
