Midi - MicroKorg

Kay... I just got a soundcard, the Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS
Platinum, and when I plug my Korg into the midi ports, it
doesn't register it as being plugged in. Do I need to
download a special driver, or what. I can't seem to find the
midi options in the settings, and both the card and the Korg
are properly connected.

Thnx in advance :)

does the micro have to be on a correct setting as well?

i just bought one of these last week. haven't had a real
chance to play w/ it yet though.

I think so, but I have been sending it through mulitple midi
channels, and it doesn't seem to work...

You should play with it more. Its a good synth. I want to be
able to fuck with the dsp matrix in other forms than those 5
knobs....

I don't know, but I guess i would figure you might need a
driver.
Midi isnt a live connection (or so I assume), so it never
actually knows when something is plugged in or not (unlike
firewire or usb).
Sorry, But i probably havent helped you at all :S

Whats your host application?

Whatever, chances are I'm never going to read this post
again, so here we go (I'm not trying to insult your
intellegences, so if I get to basic it's because like I have
no idea what you know or are doing, please excuse anything
that may sound condicending in anyway).

Ok, since its not usb chances are a thingy isnt going to pop
up telling you that it works. If its plugged in your good to
go. My guess is what your doign wrong is that you arnt
selecting the right midi in port.
You problebly have it set to like WAVATABLE MIDI
Blahblahblah sound blaster.

Cause last time I check out a SB card they had like 5 or 6
different midi things you could select. Most of them are
what you call wav tables, just shitty on board sounds to
dick around with.

Go into your Host prog (Queerbase SX, ableton, logic etc),
goto your preferences and make sure you select the right
midi ports (in and out).

Chances are your korg micro doesnt have to be on any channel
to play with VSTs, but if you sequenced something and want
it to play back make sure the midi tracks channel is the
same as your Korg Micro.

Sometimes too, the stupid cord that comes with midi cards is
messed up, like the IN is actually the OUT and vice versa.

Try to get some sort of prog that monitors midi input or
something, don't go just by sound, You might not be hearing
anything but your computer might be geting messages, meaning
that really your korg is working and you actually have a
sound out issue of some sort.

Email me if you need any help with anything or whatever.
Blargggg i'm going to bed later!

Cheers... will check those out soon...

I wouldn't be posting this question unless I really hadn't
tried all obvious available solutions. Midi + gear is new to
me

Honestly, the only thing that I find is missing from this
synth is a USB port... :(

I still can'f figure it out...
