- "6/8 4/3 TRIPLET" data from a Korg i3 Interactive Workstation
-
- This archive contains 2 x 3 = 6 Standard MIDI Files (SMF), 3 in file format
- 0 and 3 in file format 1, derived from the "68 43TIR" STYLE and BACKING
- SEQUENCE DATA on a Korg i3 Interactive Workstation. In order to play these
- SMFs then you are required to copy the accompanying "68_43TRI.PCG" voice
- file, included in this archive, to a 720k MSDOS formatted DD floppy disk
- and load this via the Korg's own built-in disk drive. The "68_43TRI.PCG"
- file contains the USER D Bank with additional 64 voices and the 2 x
- USER Kits #7 and #8. The "68_43TRI.LST" is an ASCII text list of the actual
- Korg voices and drum kits used in the "68_43TRI.PCG" file..

- Additional information:
- The SMFs featured here will play on a number of Korg synthersizer models
- with particular emphasis on the i-Series and X-Series models..
-
- i-Series models:
- i2, i3, i4S, i5S and i5M
-
- X-Series models:
- X2, X3 and X3R
-
- The ".PCG" file containing the 64 voice and 2 x Kits file is capable of
- loading into ALL the above Korg models as they share the same voices and
- song file types.. The SMFs will also load from floppy directly into the
- on-board 16 track SMF sequencer on ALL the above Korg i-Series and X-Series
- models.. Or will play from software and hardware sequencers as the SMF
- is portable across computer platforms, synth Workstations and Data
- Filer/SMF players with an SMF import option..
-
- For those with other Korg synth models which share the same AI2 Synthesis,
- then the CTLs in each MIDI track embedded within each SMF will contain CTLs
- like so...
-
- CTL 000,000 (C Bank and D Bank)
- 032,001
- PGM (#1-64 is the C Bank, #65-128 is the D USER Bank
-
- ...which signifies both the C and D BANKs on the i-Series and 0-65 on the
- X-Series.. The MIDI PGM (Voice program) #1-64 refers to the inbuilt C Bank
- on the i-Series synths and #65-128 is the USER Bank D.. Drums and
- Percussion are refered to by the embedded MIDI CTLs within each SMF like
- so..
-
- CTL 000,062 (8 x Drum Kits bank)
- 032,000
- PGM (#1, #17, #26, #33, #41 default GM kits) #65 i-Perc Kit
- (#25 and #49 are the 2 x USER KITS)
-
- The USER Kits can be configured to contain GM Kits #25 (Electronic Kit)
- and #49 (Orchestra Kit)
-
- Korg's own i-Series bootup disk which comes shipped with the i2/i3 contains
- an "AMERICA.PCG" file containing #25 (Dance Kit) and #49 (Orchestra Kit)
- which are default i-Series Kits.. The Percussion Kit contains different
- instruments and mapping compared to the mapping of GM kits! Likewise, any
- style can come with its own unique USER Kit and will usually be denoted
- within the accompanying ".LST" (List) file.. Again, the 2 x USER kits can
- possess their own unique instruments and mapping which may be radically
- different to that of General MIDI (GM) but as these are USER then both kits
- can be edited via the USER Kit mapping option on the Korg i-Series
- Workstations software!
-
- Alternatively, if you wish to take a note of each drum/percussion
- instrument used within the 2 x USER kits then venturing to the USER Kit
- mapper option within the Korg i-Series on-board software will display the
- instruments used, if you produced a simple instrument table on A4 paper,
- maybe you could fill this in with the corresponding instruments for each of
- the 2 x USER kit maps.
