Thanks a bunch.this one email was as helpful to me as several days
of Googling...
I set the Global Bank map from GM to Korg...that took care of the GM
problem.
I then ran into exactly the issue you described...only 1 channel and
no multitimbral sound..
I found an obtuse reference to this in the MIDI section of the Parameter
Guide..after reading your email I set the Korg to Sequencer mode and
now I am getting multitimbral sound.
I understand I can get 8 part multitimbral using combis.
It was not intuitive to me at all even what a combi is for. I have had
to fight my way to understanding by osmosis; mainly reading anything I
can find on midi, Korg and PC sequencers.
It seems that the Korg TR was not really a popular synth since I see
virtually no info on it on line, compared to the Karma, M3, M50, etc.
I'd love to find a gorup of people using this synth as a resource.
AFAICT there is no good source of information like a "how to get
started" thingy with the Korg and RoseGarden. If you are a MIDI know
nothing guy like me you almost have to stumble into the answers, not
even really knowing what questions to ask.
I am told that instead of a workstation synth an arranger synth might be
more suited to what I am trying to do...but I don't know.
In any case, I can now get down to the actual work of trying to create
backing tracks for live performance as a one man band.
Is anybody doing anything like this with RoseGarden?
Thanks for this resource and those who took time to answer.
