Microkorg XL with Logic Pro?

[Mr Samurai]

hello people,

ive been trying to use my Microkorg XL with Logic pro 9 for quite a while now..

i 'can' use it as a midi controller (Y)

i can record sound from the microkorg to logic as an audio track..

 

but i cannot/ dont know how to use it as a external instrument...

i want it to be syncronised to logic,, so its an instrument in logic.

any help?

 

the manuel doesnt say nothing about syncing only midi

Create an external MIDI track, open the library and select the Microkorg's port and channel.

Turn off the "Local" setting in the Microkorg:

 

LOCAL......................................................................................[OFF, ON]

Switches the local setting on and off.

OFF: With this setting, controllers such as the keyboard and modulation

wheel will be internally disconnected from the tone generator section. This

setting prevents notes from being sounded in duplicate when the

microKORG XL is connected to a sequencer and the performance data is

echoed back from the sequencer. (Echo back is when the performance

data transmitted by playing the microKORG XL is re-transmitted back to

the microKORG XL from the sequencer.)

ON: Select this setting when you are using the microKORG XL by itself.

 

i want it to be syncronised to logic,, so its an instrument in logic.

any help?

 

To synchronize the Microkorg's syncable features (arpeggiator, etc) to Logic's clock, you need to:

 

In Logic, go to Project Settings > Synchronization > MIDI > MIDI Clock > Transmit MIDI Clock and choose the Microkorg as the destination for MIDI clock (after doing this, Logic will send MIDI Clock commands as soon as you hit Play).

 

In the Microkorg, you need to set the Clock parameter to the setting that applies:

 

CLOCK ............................................. [AUTO, INTERNAL, EXT USB, EXT MIDI]

Specifies how the microKORG XL will synchronize with an external MIDI

device (sequencer, rhythm machine, etc.). If the LFO 1/2 or delay effect

“BPM SYNC” is On, the LFO rate and delay time will also synchronize in

the same way as the arpeggiator.

AUTO: The microKORG XL will automatically function using the External

(or USB) setting if MIDI clock messages are being received from an external MIDI device connected to the MIDI IN connector. If no MIDI clock messages are being received, the internal setting will be used.

INTERNAL: The arpeggiator will sync to the internal clock (specified by

knob [TEMPO]). Select this setting if you are using the microKORG XL by

itself, or if you are using the microKORG XL as the master (controlling

device) so that an external MIDI device will synchronize to the MIDI clock

messages from the microKORG XL.

EXT USB: The microKORG XL’s arpeggiator will synchronize to the MIDI

clock messages received from an external USB MIDI device connected to

the USB connector.

EXT MIDI: The microKORG XL’s arpeggiator will synchronize to the MIDI

clock messages received from an external MIDI device connected to the

MIDI IN connector.

 

NOTE When sync’ing to an external MIDI device, refer to that device’s owner’s

manual.
