Sending MIDI Bank Select messages
You can specify how the Bank Select message will be
sent to the MIDI OUT in “Page 8: MIDI filter” in the
Disk/Global mode. In order to connect the i40M to
another Korg instrument, set the parameter to “o”. To
connect a device from another manufacturer, if the
results are not correct, set the parameter to “s” or “n”.
If “n” is selected, the Bank Select message will not be
sent.
Programming a song on an external
computer
To program a song on an external sequencer, set the
i40M in the Song Play mode. In this way the instru-
ment will transmit on the channel selected with the
PROGRAM/VOLUME buttons, and receive from the
external sequencer on all the MIDI channels (1-16). See
see the chapter “MIDI” on page 44 for more informa-
tion.
Song Play and Song Edit
The Song Play mode must be used to read the Stan-
dard MIDI Files directly from disk and to program
songs on an external sequencer.
The Song Edit mode must be used to create or edit a
song directly in the i40M.
Changes in Song Play cannot be saved
The Song Play mode does not allow you to edit the
song permanently. You can only make changes during
the playback (volume, mute, program), but not memo-
rize them or save them on disk.
