This worked. Thank you!

The bizarre drum doubling seems to have gone also; I'm not sure what I 
did differently, but after a restart of RG and the Korg it's gone. I 
could have sworn I tried this before, but either way it's no longer an 
issue.

Thanks again!

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Basic Midi Set up

I managed to get the following instructions to work, and have 
successfully set up the Korg Triton as a MIDI device. I can now select 
the KT programs directly from within RG, and it all works great, except 
for two problems.

1.) The device doesn't save. I have to set it up again every time I open 
RG, unless I open a particular file I have saved with this device. Is 
there any way to make this device available be default for all new files?

2.) Drum programs have this weird annoying doubling. Ted Felix suggested 
that it could be a "local on/off" problem, and sent me a link to the 
following article: 
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/doc:using_thru_routing. I looked 
through this, and tweaked settings both on the Korg and in RG, and I 
can't seem to fix it. It happens with local control on and with it off, 
and only on drum programs. Every other program works fine. This problem 
makes no sense to me whatsoever, and I am totally stumped on what to 
even try; I can't find anything that all these programs have in common, 
other than that they are drum programs. Any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance!

   In what way is it not in sync?  Timing across tracks?  Something else?

   "Receive external" puts the currently selected track into a mode 
where it will set its bank/program to whatever bank/program comes in 
from the keyboard.  Its intent is to make it easier to dial up a 
specific bank/program without having to sift through all the entries in 
the comboboxes.

   This is working as designed.  It is intended to be used on a single 
track at a time.  Switching to another track turns it off.  This 
prevents accidentally messing up the bank/program settings on other tracks.

   This is the way banks/programs for a track should be set up ideally. 
This is the way Rosegarden is designed to work.  If there isn't a bank 
that you can import from the library that matches your keyboard, that 
makes it difficult to use Rosegarden.

   That said, there are certainly other ways to use Rosegarden.  Do you 
have tracks that change program over the course of a piece?  In that 
case, importing banks won't help much.  You'll more likely want to use 
the event editor to work with banks/programs.

   I recommend starting small.  Whip together a short two track example 
on the Triton.  Send it over to Rosegarden, then send us the resulting 
.rg file.  Tell us what you expect and what you are getting.  We should 
be able to help quite a bit from that starting point.

Ted.

[Rosegarden-user] Basic Midi Set up

[John A]

Hi all,

I am a new Rosegarden user, trying out how to sync RG with my Korg 
Triton. I have existing sequences in the Korg, that I would like to 
bounce over to RG. I have managed to get the data to record from the 
Korg into RG, but still not in sync, and I get frequent unexpected 
occurrences; specifically, I have trouble with unexpected program 
changes and notes sticking or feeding back.

 From reading the handbook, it seems that setting each channel to 
'Receive External' should result in RG just sending the MIDI data to the 
programs however they might be arranged on the keyboard, but I still get 
unexpected program changes. 'Receive external will even uncheck itself 
almost immediately after I check it.

I looked into setting the exact bank and program numbers for each 
channel, but RG doesn't "see" the korg, it only "sees" my Scarlett 2i4 
"general midi device." I tried to set it up through "Manage MIDI Banks 
and Programs," and imported existing bank settings for the Triton 
Extreme. (This was the closest I could find to my keyboard) I thought I 
could at least set the right bank and program numbers, even if the names 
didn't match. This didn't seem to work at all, and now each channel is 
just playing whatever program each channel on the Korg is set to; this 
is what I wanted it to do initially, but when I try to use it that way I 
get the aforementioned surprises.

I'm not sure what to do about the issue. I would greatly appreciate any 
help in this problem!
