The symptoms are the same whether it's through USB or midi communication.
I really appreciate all the input from everyone so far. I'm truly
stumped... I do have an e-mail message into Korg's technical support in
hopes of some enlightenment there as well. I absolutely refuse to give up
on this thing. Once upon a time, I used Cake Walk for DOS so I'm not
entirely new to the midi scene. Smiles.
Kind Regards,
Kim Ellsworth

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
