Controlling Korg Arranger Style Elements and Chords using a DAW (Part 2)

[@kdbmichael]

Please tell me how can I connect my PA1000 with My DAW coz its not showing in the MIDI List.

[@mikaelschulin4315]

Thank you so much! On the PA1000 ch 08 says "tablet" instead of "Extern. seq.". Shall I use this one?

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Yes try that. It’s probably the same thing

[@mikaelschulin4315]

@@KorgKeyboardTutorial Thank you kindly!

Hallo Super Video.. Habe einen Korg Pa 600 geht das auch mit dem ??? Und ich benutze Cubase 12 Pro.. Wo müsste ich die Programm Change einfügen ??? Ich würde mich Sehr freuen wenn Sie antworten würden... Und mir kurz erklären würden wie ich das zu machen habe... Vielen Dank...

[@mostafahelal1]

Well done...thanx a lot for the explanation.....although I have a PA4x.....I think this might work.....good job mate..

[@Atifkhan-pm2ud]

It's amazing, very informative. I am very intrigued, How are you capturing the Korg display with hand icon for menu selection

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Thank you Atif. That hand icon is just an image file added through the video editor. It's layered on top of korg's video.

[@Atifkhan-pm2ud]

Very cool. I never thought of using pa3x this way. I tried at the time of PA800, but their were too many limitation so I gave up. Glad to know it has progressed so much. I will be using it in my arrangements. I use Logic Pro X. This will be a good addition. I wish there was a plugin version. Thanks.

Is there any way to send midi messages to control anything on the touchscreen? For example what midi code can simulate a Global button pressed? Is it possible basically? If, then what midi code can select each and every option showed on the screen?

[@morrisoc1]

Great video. Thank you. Do you have any advise on using the midi file created and saved in the keyboard after importing into Pro Tools. Use case is potentially using higher quality instruments or editing. Challenges are napping each track to the correct instrument or identification of the instrument and how to deal with the way the arranger uses program changes to alter the instrument at different points in the arrangement.

I have a series of DAW-based style creation tips. You might want to check them out for useful tips.

[@abedhat]

Thats amazing, thank you so much! any chance you can do the same for Logic pro x & PA700 ?

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

I’m not a Logic user but from what I hear it’s an advanced DAW. I couldn’t give you Logic specific ways of doing things but since these are basic commends, I don’t see why any DAW couldn’t do the same. Did you look up the midi parameters for the pa 700? They’re probably the same.

[@recordjunctionstudios4186]

Sir can I do the same process with logic pro x

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

I don't see why not. Logic Pro X has more powerful midi capabilities. I'm not a Logic user, but I know people do it without problems. I've seen posts on Korg forums from Logic users.

[@recordjunctionstudios4186]

@@KorgKeyboardTutorial thanku sir for replying ,I find the way to work with logic .every thing is working flawless.. some little issue also there but I will sorted them too also ...thanks again

This is great and exactly what I was trying to do few days ago. This way we can very accurately even record a song in PA, with the help of DAW. I got stuck at one place, where my DAW is FLStudio. I could do the second part of the video, which is controlling code variation using Global channel. After spending hours and hours I still can't find how I can send program change midi messages from FLStudio to PA to select style elements. In ProTools it seems like straight forward, but not in FLStudio. If you or someone can pls help me it is very much appreciated.

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

+Roy Hewa Glad I was able to be of some help. Unfortunately I can't really help you with FL Studio...but it shouldn't be that difficult to figure out. I'm sure there's a way as this is a basic feature for any DAW. Dig a little deeper and you'll find it...share it with us when you do.

[@RoyHewa]

+Tutorials for Midi & KORG Arranger Keyboards Could not find how to do it with FLStudio. Asked an expert and he told it is not possible with FLStudio. Settled down here with Cubase Elements 8 (I am in process of evaluating it to purchase) , which can do it. Now I got stuck at one last place. I want to use the above setup in KORG PA's Sequencer mode (Quick Record Mode where it records the code progression with style elements) . So in that mode without pressing the 'Start/Stop' button, it does not start recording. How can we send a MIDI message from DAW to PA to mimic the 'Start/Stop' button. Check the reference manual and could not find it. Any ideas would be very much appreciated. Cheers

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Glad to know you found some kind of solution for the problem. I haven't tried this set up with the recording mode, but I think if you add the program change #103 (if I remember correctly) you should be able to trigger the Start/stop functionality on the korg. Create an extra bar at the beginning in your DAW and add this message. Then, you can always delete the extra bar once you're done recording. Let me know if this worked out for you....

[@RoyHewa]

+Tutorials for Midi & KORG Arranger Keyboards Yes.. it works !! it works !!. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with others. With this setup it is very easy for me to record a song on my PA600. I was looking for a DAW which suites my requirement and seems like Cubase is the one for me. Will place the order today.

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Hey Roy...My pleasure. So happy this worked for you man! keep in touch...

[@userfriendly4394]

hi is there any way to send audio through usb? like keyboard as audio interface to transmit original quality sound.

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

As far as I know none of these Korg arranger keyboards can transmit audio over usb.

[@CAMOAH1]

can you do this tutorial using cubase ai - somehow i cant even find how i select program change in cubase element 10. can someone help please. thank anyway very informative.

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Unfortunately I don't have Cubase and don't really know much about it. Honestly, this would be a how to work with Cubase kind of tutorial, as everything else would be the same. In term of Korg requirements, nothing will change. You just have to figure out markers, program changes, CC messages...and all that with Cubase.

Hi sir. I use progra change msg on cubase with korg pa 700. but only variation intro etc. I want to control pad 1 -2 - 3 and 4 Dou you know any way for control to pads?

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Hi Evren....You want to control Pads 1-4 in what way? Like you want to trigger and stop the pads from your DAW, or you want to be able to program tracks for your Pads?

Hi,I want to triger to pads start stop from daw.

[@KrishnanR26]

Sir I have a KORG PA300. I want to use it with my DAW which happens to be A Presonus Studio One V4. I got a hang as to how to use it as a VST CONTROLLER and use Inbuilt instruments of the DAW. But I'm not getting as to how to use it as a MIDI device where I connect it with my computer but use the sounds inbuilt in the arranger. The midi settings in my keyboard confuses me, all the channels and basic settings, etc. Could you please help? Thanks😀

[@yayatitrivedi]

I have Pa900. After following the instructions exactly, It is not playing the style. I see it is changing the variation light changing but no sound. Can you please suggest?

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

+Yayati Trivedi ...All this should also work with PA900 as they use the same commands I believe. You might want to double check on it though. Try adding a 103 program change at the beginning as well. I use this set up all the time and it works like a charm. I've had many others who've contacted me through Facebook, so I know it has worked out for them as well.

[@yayatitrivedi]

Thank you very much. I will try today and let you know...

[@yayatitrivedi]

I am missing additional settings on DAW? Source MIDI device or some setting on the KB? other than selecting Ext Seq as input device?

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Not really... If you followed the instructions, that's basically all there's to it. Are you using midi over USB or just traditional midi cables?

[@yayatitrivedi]

USB, Korg midi driver and Win 10

[@LosoIAm]

Wow, many thanks!!!

Dear brother. Thanks a lot for your post. Do you have any adress e-mail ? I am struggling trying to reproduce what you have done in this video...
