Can I use a combi mode patch in the sequencer? or can use the built in drum track on a prog mode patch on the sequencer?

[KorgUSAVideos]

@jmlatour Yes and yes. Touch the drop-down menu in the upper-right corner, and select "Copy from Combi" or "Copy from Prog." If you're in Program or Combi mode, and you want to record exactly what you're playing, you can also hold ENTER and press the sequencer REC/WRITE button to copy all the current settings to a new Song.

I have a question, when you lay down drum tracks. Like, Track 1, I play bass drum and the snare, How can I separate the the snare from the bass drum and make it a two tracks; track on and two? Is that possible?

[KorgUSAVideos]

@arjarns You can't create multiple tracks from a single track, so you would need to record the kick and snare drums to two separate tracks.

Everytime i save my song i make, it resets the programs to all piano and the mixer is reset. It does this everytime and the only way i can fix it is by saving each songs template. PLEASE HELP

[KorgUSAVideos]

@jp7rambo Something is incorrect in the saving process. Please contact our Product Support department to help walk you through this.

I feel like zombie :) I wanna eat this guy's brain :-)

Thanks for sharing all the good info. Most of us have ideas for making music, we just need to learn to use this thing. I don't think there's anything out there that can beat Korg products.

Keep the video coming and thanks again for sharing.

Thank You Korg. This is just what I needed.

I am used to sequencing on Cubase, so this was spot on.

Two videos like this save hours of sifting through the manual for me.

Many thanks!

I'm playing an M-50 for a show and I'm alternating between using the sequencer and playing live. Can the sequencer be set up to advance the next song in the chain with the foot switch? The foot switch advances in the other modes, but not in sequencer mode. When I use a cue list, it advances to the next song in the sequence without stopping. I need to be able to play a sequence, then play live, while advancing to the next sequenced song and then hit play for the next seq.

[OneirologicAlliance]

how do you save a sequence as a music file?

[jwillis35]

@ginises83 Hopefully you figured this out, but the best way to chain together sequences you create using the Cue List. Be sure to set the Cue List to "auto" for tempo so it automatically takes your original tempo settings. You can set a basic tempo at the beginning of each sequence, but you can also set multiple tempos within any sequence or song. The manual explains this well.

[jwillis35]

@bertbushey You can do it. I have done it before. You have to change the MIDI program changes that are set in the original MIDI file. Load the midi file, then before you choose the sounds you want, take out the program changes that are already set. In many cases those changes are set to GM format. You can put the Korg M3 in GM Mode, but if you wish to use the sounds you want, then take out the file's original program changes, then choose your sounds. Then set the volume and pan and then save.

@MarkoDeLaVoota The best way is to do this: record bass 1 in the RPPR feature. Set the length of the lick or loop and record. Then do the same for bass 2. Now assign a key to bass 1 and bass 2. Go back to the sequencer main page, setup two tracks for bass (bass 1 and bass 2). Click the RPPR button then record in realtime. Hold the key assigned for bass 1 down when it's supposed to play, hold the key assigned to bass 2 when it's needed. There are other methods.
