24. How do I transfer a song from the Internal Sequencer to an
External Sequencer, or use an External Sequencer with the
Karma Seq Mode? My settings do not get restored when I turn
the Power Off/On!
There’s a couple things you have to know:
A Song in the Karma/Triton Sequencer is actually composed of 2 things
(if you look at it this way): (1) The Song Header parameter settings
(which programs on which tracks, IFX, MFX, Volume, Panning, etc - all
the parameters you can see in Seq Mode), and (2) the MIDI data (all the
notes, controller moves, etc. that are recorded on each track).
If you record the output of the Karma’s internal sequencer (MIDI data)
into an external sequencer, you don’t get (1). If you save a song from the
internal sequencer to SMF (Standard MIDI File) Format, you get some of
(1) (programs, volumes, pan - but nothing special to the Karma, such as
Track Transposes, Force OSC settings, etc.)
If you do a “MIDI Dump” of a complete Song via SysEx, you get both (1)
and (2), but (2) is not in MIDI format - you can only send the dump back
to keyboard to restore the song into the internal sequencer, and play it
from there.
In order to use the Karma Seq Mode with an external sequencer, you
need to physically restore the (1) Song Header settings when you want to
play or work on the song. There are two ways to do this:
Method 1: Keep the empty Song Header on a floppy disk, and load it each
time you want to work on the song from your external sequencer. When
I say “empty”, I mean no MIDI data - just the track parameter settings.
Method 2: Dump the empty Song Header via SysEx into the external seq,
and “play” (dump) it back into the internal seq before playing the MIDI
data, so that the song settings are restored.
For example, to take one of the completed DEMO Songs and somehow
get it into an external sequencer, I would recommend this:
