Hi, Kevan here.. You'll have to bear with me regarding this posting to the group because there's 2 emails in here so stick with it.. In my last posting I mentioned the Korg i-Series' internal SMF sequencer possesses the ability to respond in the universal GM mode (song #9) and that you can emulate the 2 Kit options from the GS protocol by modifiying the 2 kit options from the i-Series Workstations so both drum maps for Channel 10 and Channel 11 conform to the GM/GS standard specs.. Below is a handy MIDI SYSEX strings reference document which refers to this aspect but there's more info in this doc which may come in useful somewhere down the line.. I'll also upload this to both Art and Peter's FTP sites so new members to the group can get access to this doc.. Maybe someone within the group has more knowledge of SYSEX for the Korg i-Series models and could produce a similar document that specifies particular SYSEX strings for particular i-Series operations.. The System Exclusive information within the Korg i2/i3 manual reads like "Stereo Instructions"! Users should be able to understand each SYSEX string and exploit these for whatever purposes from within their Computer based sequencing software and within SMF files to control options within their i-Series models!! When you record MIDI data from a Korg i2/i3 into your sequencer, particularly from the "Arrangement" mode, I always receive plenty of SYSEX strings along with the regular MIDI data but I'm buggered if I know what the SYSEX strings refer to?? For example here's one I understand for General MIDI (GM): F0 7E 7F 09 01 F7 This is a universal "GM on" SYSEX string which works OK on all GM synths! Possessing SYSEX knowledge for the i-Series models would much inprove i-Series users ability to get the best out of their Workstations and maybe provide useful info for possible authors of i-Series related computer software applications from within our group.. I for one would love to have the i2/i3 SYSEX information mentioned in the MIDI Implementation Chart to be listed and described like the document below.. Any offers?? ** NOTE ** I wrote the above email to the group but hadn't posted this, I was about to when I logged-on and discovered 4 emails waiting to be collected and 3 of these were from the i-Series Group.. Funnily enough, 2 of the postings contained some questions from both Mark and Pat here in the UK regarding some of the things I've raised here already.. John's, in Minesotta, I dunno what happened there, dude? Email me and explain 'cos I don't understand your email to me?? Are you joking or are you serious?? ** Answer to Pat's question ** Pat enter track #1 of Cakewalk and add or merge a saved 0 format SMF containing the follwwing SYSEX string:- F0 7E 7F 09 01 F7 ADD this string to your MIDI song in cakewalk, when this is transmitted to your i3 this will force Song #9, in the internal 16-track sequencer, go into "GM on" mode and force MIDI Channel 10 (Track 10) to use the Drum Kit #1 (GM Standard Kit).. You'll also see that track #10 will be in "PGM" mode which is STEREO of course!! If you save this as either a Cakewalk .WRK file or an SMF then ensure that the "GM on" SYSEX string is retained in track #1 at the begining of your song and this'll work for you every time.. Do this simple procedure for eveny song you produce even though you use a different kit on channel #10 as long as you embed the Korg Drum Kit contollers and PGM data below.. The above information also answers your query Mark.. The Standard General MIDI (GM) Kit is Drum Kit #1 i.e. KORG Controller and PGM data for a sequencer! CTR 000,062 CTR 032,000 PGM 001 From within the i-Series sequencer it looks like this.. ------------------------------------ M0001 #001 1:00 PROG DRM:000 ------------------------------------ PROG DRM:000 = GM Kit #1 = Standard General MIDI (GM) Kit This is used as default co's some synths and soundcards only have one drum kit option.. All the drum note mapping for all the 7 GM kits are the same only the "sounds" are different.. That way you can re-assign any of the 7 GM kits and the notes will play the same instruments but will sound according to the drum style sounds as per kit.. GM drum kit 8 is the Orchestra Kit and this contains different drum mapping for orchestral percussion etc.. Here's a breakdown of the GM kits in relation to the i-Series "AMERICA.PCG" iSequencer # i-Series Name General MIDI (GM) Name ------------ ------------- ---------------------- PROG DRM:000 GM Kit #1 GM Standard Kit #1 PROG DRM:001 Power Kit GM Power Kit #17 PROG DRM:002 Analog Kit GM Electronic Kit #25 PROG DRM:003 Jazz Kit GM Jazz Kit #33 PROG DRM:004 Brush Kit GM Brush Set #41 PROG DRM:005 Perc Kit #65 Not GM! PROG DRM:006 Dance Kit GM TR808 Kit #26 PROG DRM:007 Orch Kit GM Orchestra Kit #49 ------------------------------------------------------- There is a GM drum kit missing from the "AMERICA.PCG" prog file and this is "Room Kit #9" the i-Series has been programmed to repsond to GM Kit #1 when it receives a #9 PGM in Drum Channel 10 so it'll play the Standard GM Kit anyway.. Its virtually the same only the "Room Kit" has a tad of extra reverb added to it emulating a "Room" reverb setting.. It just produces a closer "Room" sound that's all.. I've actually got the "Room Kit" and I found this in a X3 PCG.. This should be available in the various X3 PCGs in both Art and Peter's FTP sites somewhere.. If you want to emulate the complete 8 x GM Kits then you could replace the "Perc Kit" for the "Room Kit" but this will only be selected using the PGM #65 (External sequencer) or (DRM #65 Korg i- Series) MIDI command not the #9 as specified by the General MIDI (GM) protocol!

The default is a single kit on Channel 10. Following are SYSEX strings to add a second kit on either Part/Channel 9 or 11, (Drum Map 2). You can then use Program changes to select a different/extra drum kit to that being used on Channel 10. This, for example, enables you to use the Room Kit on Channel 10 together with the TR-808 Kit on the other selected Channel. Tell part 9 (Channel 9) to be a second drum kit F0 41 10 42 12 40 19 15 02 10 F7 OR Tell part 11 (Channel 11) to be a second drum kit F0 41 10 42 12 40 1A 15 02 0F F7 SCALE TUNING (GS) Part 1 Midi Ch # 1 Various Scale Tuning settings can be used to suit from Ethnic Music to your own personal choice.
