Do you have any audio quarter inch cables running out of your synth?

Hi Omar,
My intention is to get a mixer just as soon as I can find one that suits my
needs. I did try the synthesizer on external USB; however, the midi cables
were still connected to the sound card. I did disconnect those cables, told
the sound card USB audio device for both input and output but then no sounds
were coming from my synthesizer with just the USB communication.
Thanks,
Kim Ellsworth

If you're using USB to connect your board to the computer, you don't use the
MIDI connection. You use either or. You have to find out if your synthesizer is
set to MIDI or USB. You're really not getting full use out of everything unless
you have a mixer.

Hi everyone,
Please, please help me! I no I almost have everything setup properly
between my synthesizer (Korg Triton Extreme), my sound card (M-Audio Delta LT
1010) and my desktop computer. I've read and read the Cake Talking tutorial on
the subject of midi, hardware setup, etc. until I'm blue in the face. I'm so
close, yet still so far from being able to start recording.
Situation:
1. Currently, my Korg is connected to the desktop via two routes; via USB
to the computer(we were told to do this by the dealer where we bought the
synthe) and by two midi cables (input and output of course that go directly to
the sound card).
2. Right now, until I can get a mixer, I have a set of monitor speakers to
listen to the synthesizer through.
3. I am running Sonar 4, producer edition and Cake Talking 4.0.3. OS on
desktop machine is Windows XP Home, SP2.
4. I followed the instructions on configuring Sonar to recognize the Delta
1010, ran the Cake Talk tests at the beginning of this whole setup and
everything was successful.
5. I imported the korg.ins file in the import instrument deffinitions
dialog and that appeared successfull as the patch names for the banks in the
program and combi mode show up properly when choosing patch names. However,
when I cycle through the patch names after choosing a bank via Sonar, the
sounds do change on the synthe side but it's not the correct patch; rather, no
matter what bank I choose and what patch I choose via sonar, it is only picking
the synthesizer's general midi patch sounds and not the sounds that are
specific to the Korg. Example, in Sonar, I choose Bank a, Patch name keyboard
piano and strings. This is a patch that on the actual synthesizer does indeed
belong to bank A. Yet, the synthe switches to harpsichord instead. Am I
making sense?
By the way, Local Mode is set to off, enable bank, program and combi
changes are all turned on. I played around a bit with the input and output of
midi ports but currently I have the input set to the Delta and the output set
to USB audio device, which is how my Korg shows up in Sonar and in the midi
devices in my sounds and audio properties of my computer.
I apologize for making this a novel but trying to give as much information
as possible that may be of some help and also, I've been working on trying to
get this setup for a while now and a bit frustrated that I cannot figure this
thing out on my own.
Kind Regards,
Kim Ellsworth
