I have a Korg M-1 (keyboard) and a Roland MC-50 (sequencer & more). I have all the factory sounds in my M-1 loaded onto disk along with 4 other banks of public domain sounds. There are only about 10 sounds on each bank that I use regularly. Right now I have to keep re-loading with my MC-50. What I want to do is load one bank of sounds with all the "good" sounds. Does anyone out there know how this could be done without manually reprogramming each sound? Please let me know! Thanks in advance - J. Hedberg -- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Dec 1991 13:05:08 PDT From: James Hedberg Subject: M-1 stuff Martin, Thank you for your response - you were the only one who did! I tried your suggestion, to just do one patch at a time. My M-1 doesn't seem to be able to execute this. I looked thru the 100+ page manual and this topic never seemed to come up either. Oh well, it seems Korg wants to sell their $90.00 cards intead of providing this type of an option. I guess I'll be getting familar with the induvidual programming. Thanks Again, Jim Hedberg -- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Dec 1991 08:11:28 +0100 From: roth@IPS.ID.ETHZ.CH Subject: Re: M-1 stuff Hi Jim, I believe there MUST be a way to dump one voice (patch, or whatever this is called in M1) to midi. If this can't be triggered by the buttons on the M1, there is probably a "dump request" via midi (in), but messing around with that level of midi (system exclusive dumps and dump requests) needs quite a bit knowledge on midi&bytes. I don't know anyone around here owning a M1, so I can't ask anyone. Good luck! :-) -Martin _______________________________________________________________________ _ Martin Roth Martin Roth ETHZ, ips, RZ F16 |\ /|_) Mail: roth@ips.id.ethz.ch Sandacker 14 g 01/256 55 68 | \/ | \ (Student of Computer CH-8154 Oberglatt Science / Engineering) Switzerland p 01/850 32 75 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Dec 1991 10:48:00 PST From: BISHOP_M@PLU.BITNET Subject: Re: M-1 stuff Hi Jim, I believe there MUST be a way to dump one voice (patch, or whatever this is called in M1) to midi.

Good luck! :-) -Martin ****************************************************************************** My name is Mike Bishop and I own a M-1. I think I have a solution to your problem providing that I know the question correctly. If you want the M-1 to dump only one program by a request through MIDI, I don't know how BUT, every time that you change a program from the front panel or when you change from combination mode to profram mode, it should send all of the data for the program over MIDI. The reason that I know this is because my sequencer (EZ Vision for the Mac) picked it up and played it back because the LCD on the M-1 changed. I know that it was not just a program change because I went in and changed the mulitsample of the voice and played my sequencer again and it restored the original mulitsample. I hope that this is the solution to your question.

I know there must be a way to save one patch, but as of today I still do not know how - maybe I'm just slow. I did pursue each suggestion. Mario, Alexander was great and I already have a copy of their catalog. They had 5 M-1 books and are now having a sale if you buy all five at one time ($124). Mike, your suggestion really interested me, but I can't get my MC-50 to save the individual patch. Ray, I'd love to transfer the individual sounds, but that's my whole problem. I also tried my local music store(s). The one in my area (LA) that seems to have the most reliable info told me I needed to purchase a software package for IBM compatible called "M-1 librarian". Funny, I was almost positive something else would need to be purchased. I didn't get all the details on this software - does anyone know anything about it? ******************************************************************************* Forwarded message: > From hedberg Mon Dec 9 16:29:30 1991 > Subject: M-1 stuff > > Hello! > > I have a Korg M-1 (keyboard) and a Roland MC-50 (sequencer & more). > I have all the factory sounds in my M-1 loaded onto disk along with > 4 other banks of public domain sounds.
