OT - Microkorg s bank program change solved!

Still couldn’t find solution. Korg documentation has 0-127 but two times. If somebody did same things, please share your knowledge)

microkorg doesnt responce for cc32 msb nor lsb. Ideally a want to make program change with notes command instead program the whole midi channel for it. when i put midi setup it blocks any other channels and i cannot select another program inside current part or bank. i want for example first pattern playing prg 1 and second patt play prg2 . Is that possible?

in this case only prg 11 for all bank and part

!

It should work for the S model - just not the original of course, old threads cover all the ins/outs of setting OT up

Yes i see that, but how to send bank change and program change from 1 note???


finally i found the instruction and it says two banks MSB 0=0 / LSB 32 = 0 and second MSB0=0 / LSB 32=1
i set it in OT midi track but no result. seems it doest send this command… Guys who understand that stuff?

You have to send those messages in the right order : CC0, CC32, PC

For bank C/D :
Set your Prog Change
Place a trig with CC0=0 and CC32=1
Microtiming = - 5/384
Voilà.

CCs with same values are sent only once, so maybe you’ll have to stop / double stop for tests, or place another trig with different values.

cant get it((( https://youtu.be/ORb7Q4BPUHk

In Midi Note Setup page, set Bank to off.

Set your Prog Change
On trig 1, set CC0=0 and CC32=1
Hold the trig and press left arrow to set Microtiming = - 5/384

i tried any combinations. Something wrong with that shit :rage: https://youtu.be/HqzJellcu3w
Does anybody succeed whit it?

Sorry I corrected my above mistake, CC32 value has to be = 1 for Bank C/D.

Try with a new project to be sure.
If it doesn’t work, try to use a midi monitor software to check what messages are sent by the OT, and if they are in the right order.

Doesnt work((( i cant check midi for now. Dont have midi interface for pc

Yes.

In your first pattern on the OT, follow the instructions given by @sezare56 with CC 0 = 0 and CC 32 = 0 or 1 (according to the table given by Korg) and the appropriate Program Change number. Save the Part (for example, as Part 1).

Now follow the instructions given by @sezare56 in the second pattern. Then save the Part as a different number to the Part number that you used previously.

The OT only sends the Program Change message when it switches to a pattern that is associated with a different Part.

Yeah I think this is a good approach as the OT sends the PC only once. Tests with 2 patterns with different Parts and different PC / CC values might be easier.

@PeterHanes and @beta it works well with 2 patterns, but you have to add a CC0 with a value different from 0, otherwise CC0 won’t be sent again, and a CC32 with a value different from 0 or 1, otherwise it won’t be sent in the right order !

Patt 1 > Part 1 > PC 1
One trig on first step with CC0=0, CC32=0, -5/384 microtiming
One trig on last step with CC0=127, CC32=127

Patt 2 > Part 2 > PC 2
One trig on first step with CC0=0, CC32=1, -5/384 microtiming
One trig on last step with CC0=127, CC32=127

(If you press stop, then double stop, the Prog Change is sent, followed by the CCs.
So maybe stop + 2 x stop + 2 x stop would work…:sketchy:)
Easy no ? :loopy:

this also not work)) and its really complicated. And one more thing i noticed. not every pattern remembers program change namber! i can put different pc on different patterns but after several times playing them its ngoing to same . only pattern 2 can remember his pc in midi track setup. what a ?

Totally. Without a midi monitor to check, it can be a nightmare.

It can be simpler with a midi processor such as Midi Solution Event Processor, that would let you set Bank and PC in the regular page without additional CCs. It can be mapped to corresponding CC0/CC32. I have one to test it.

Or change bank manually and send PC only.

Do you press the knob to validate PC number ?

shure! Does it have to save a PC per pattern?

You need a different part per pattern if you want a different PC.

yeah, i had to switch on system exclusive on my korg to recieve bnk lsb change. Now c and d banks availible but to trig them is really mess
