1 thing i DISLIKE about korg microkorg xl - original piano song 200907010910

[Rusldalovemusl]

that sounds very Rebecca Black - Friday! = immediate HATE! :)

[DYLANBROCHILL]

if you dont understand the difference between polyphonic and monophonic then please sell your microkorg immediately

[nickleus1977]

@DYLANBROCHILL lol =) i do now at least, thanks =)

[kkm5758]

@JoeFromCO Yes, you can run it straight thru by pressing the vocoder and the exit/shift button. It's the coolest piece of gear I have ever purchased. Get one immediately, it's amazing.

[Elmokorvo]

Dude. You can "fix" this. It's called "Key Sync"

Here's what you do if you don't already know:

Alright so in the upper right corner there's four knobs, right?

Use the Top left knob to select "Full Edit"

--> Then left filter knob to "ARP TEMPO"

----> Then middle filter knob all the way to the right so it says "Key Sync"

------> Then right filter knob to choose either on or off.

You will immediately hear the change when playing arps.

[nickleus1977]

@Elmokorvo thanks, yeah i figured it out a while ago, but this was a great step-by-step explanation =) thanks

[Elmokorvo]

@nickleus1977 Alright man, I actually thought you'd might - considering the video is quite old and all.

Anyway, now others will know as well! ;]

Keep rockin' the korg!

[PandaThiefChannel]

@JoeFromCO the vocoder setting has "Audio In" but it shouldn't be used in place of a real mic or anything. I use it to sing on my demos sometimes when I dont want to hook up my condenser mic.

[PeppahGoMuZic]

@JoeFromCO Yes

[BassIsCool2005]

You can use vocorder to just have audio thru on the vocorder in favourites

[JoeFromCO]

is this thing worth it or what?, and can you use the vocoder as a normal microphone without the synth sound coming through

[bunoo2]

Did you get cytoplasm on your camera?

[nickleus1977]

@bunoo2 ectoplasm actually =)

[mexdreadhead]

you can change the the direction of the arp in the full edit thing im sure thats why it sounds off i have one too

[therealKINDLE]

Make sure Portamento is off?

[KaslarProductions]

turn off retrigger in arp settings... and the timing will be smooth

[nickleus1977]

@KaslarProductions cool, i'll try it, thanks =)

[weaponEX]

Sounds good

Keep it up !!

[wmiller101934]

Hey. the reason this is happening is because you have key sync on. As soon as you turn it off this problem should go away. Most likely you will be able to change this by going to your main appregio settings. I don't have a Mico XL but i do have an orgianl Microkorg. I had the same problems until i turned keysync off. Now i never have it on. Hope this helps you and any1 who is interested in buying these synths.

[manykarz]

I've had that problem also and found that if you go into full edit you can change the arp setting "key sync" to off and it will fix that.

[leonkennedy74]

Try reducing the amount of steps in your arpeggio. That might make it sound less choppy. Just cut it by one or so.

[machinemotor2]

does it do this all the time?

[se7ense7]

Good for you this video is copyrighted... it's important to protect your work.

Didn't bother to follow the llnk to read the license information...

Ridiculous...

[id4rk2]

i rofl'd so hard at this

[StevenMovieMaker7]

this is terrob;e. your outa time with the arp.

@

HypnoticCyclone

i just put 60$ down on one and i want to do the same as you, make winds of plague type shit :D

itll be fun, once i learn and expand and increase dextarity and shit mmmm

[HypnoticCyclone]

i dont fucking understand ANYTHING.

Midi,XLR, modulations, all this shit.

I want to buy a microkorg so i can learn to do synth breakdowns and all that shit,but i dont fuckign understand what anyone here is talking about..

[nickleus1977]

i suggest you just get one, then mess around with it and go through the manual and menus just testing stuff out =)

[connor2444]

dude its complicated at first. but once you get into it and just get past the first learning curve of all these parameters that do a billion things, its really really easy. trust me.

[LukeIsTheMessage]

if you do get one, learn as you go. eventually it will all become clearer as you learn different breakdowns.

[FiSTFigHT09]

yeah just buy one and fuck with it and ul pick up on things from here and there

[Keybern]

@HypnoticCyclone don't be bothered. The uploader of this video doesn't understand it either. He's complaining about one specific patch that is apparently monophonic and the key priority is set to the first key. But the damn thing is programmable !

[Frostystraidlazed]

@HypnoticCyclone, don't get me wrong but I wouldn't suggest that you get the XL until you learn the absolute basic terms involved in musical equipment, such as "XLR" (aka microphone jack). Google is your best friend on this one. Naturally, it's your choice but 500 bucks or whatever it costs in the States is quite a lot of money to dish out if you just want to emulate your favourite breakdowns. I have a microKORG and an XL and I'd suggest the microkorg for the Happy Harcoreish screamo stuff.

[Frostystraidlazed]

Of course you can program those kinds of patches on the XL but you'll have to learn something about synths first unless you want your breakdowns to consist of flutes, sampled Wurlitzers and Moog-esque phat monophonic basses with a sprinkle of trance sounds on the side.

[s8terblood11]

@HypnoticCyclone im on the same boat as you brother! please help me if you find something to better your own understanding...i play synth for a hardcore band..i use a Korg R3 and im prolly gunna get a microKorg XL

[destructicon500]

@HypnoticCyclone This is why you learn.

[streetxlite]

@HypnoticCyclone

read the manual, it will come bit by bit, if you really are interested then work at it. the knowledge will come with experience

[nickleus1977]

you would have to record the xl using line in or through a sound card/audio interface/mixer. if you use midi then you can't use the sounds from the xl afaik.

[cvessey]

I own one of these. You can record a track in MIDI, edit it, then set your DAW to arm an audio track for recording, and do a record with playback. The synth will generate the sounds according to the MIDI data, and that will be recorded. You can then mute the MIDI track, and just roll with the audio.

[rODIUMuk]

ANd the midi will trigger the actual sounds from the synth?

[cvesseytoo]

Absolutely. Of course, if you're using vocoder effects, that modulation must be done realtime via the XLR input, but you could record via MIDI the keyboarding, then do the vocoder part with it while doing an audio freeze of that track.

[nukks57]

yeah youve posted that on like a million videos....

[Frostystraidlazed]

@lilkidbeats, a producer lacking a mixer and an audio interface? :D

[ElegantWaster]

Hey man, just reading your information up there. I think I know what you mean by the choppiness. If you think that it shud play more than one sound, then change the program type from Mono to Poly in the settings area. But, if you mean the arps changing, the thing youre looking for ia called Key Sync in Arp settings. Hope that helps. If its something else, gimme a shout.

[nickleus1977]

hey thanks, i'll give those tips a try

[nickleus1977]

that worked, thanks alot!

[AbattoirDream]

@ElegantWaster what a guy...!
