Korg Pa5x Midi vs Styles Video

RJM shows you what he has learned about creating Styles with a Midi file. There is a lot to learn, and he is still learning.

I know that someone out there is going to end up diving this deep to really figure this out, might even be me at some point. so thanks again

So to do the song Hey Bulldog Beatles
Made the song from scratch on the pa5x sequencer I'm talking about the 16 trac sequencer
Then after I was done getting it as good as I could I loaded it up on player one and then I pushed out a little the marker box upper right-hand corner of the song play went to the markers there were none because you have to make them so the Riff in the song in the verse I just put a marker right at the beginning of that and I could control that I just push the button to get it to repeat as many times as I need from the buttons outside on Deck that is after you save all this and give it a name and I put a couple of more for different parts like the chorus part where it starts ascending upwards which is so cool and you know you just do the song like what you hear on the recording so all the variations and all the pills are there you put them in when you do this and I like the idea that I can add as many verses I want or you can Loop them from the outside by the way you know that if you double click on the button outside on the deck it will go into Loop mode I haven't completely figured out Loop mode yet sort of I just started doing this like last night but I got like this is I used to do this in 1980 or so with a drum machine I don't know if I had the X3 Korg Workstation no it wasn't it was a Casio a little Casio Keyboard I think I still got it around you I kept it for just for because

Also 16 track midi sequencer
Korg calls it song has really outstanding sound and then you just play over the top of the sections that you put markers with but I noticed the sound

The export to midi file from KORG with many markers, that is the bug of the OS. if you look the file, there are many duplicate parts, however in order to create a "good style" you have to create at least 3 variations of each sections (intro, var, ending, break, fills ...) with Major, Minor and 7th. It is very complicated process and most of arranger-users don't have that kind of knowledge of sequencer, daw, midi mapping, midi message ...

Thanks Jon - I have learned a good deal about my Pa5x from you. What DAW do you use to edit midifiles typically?

[edlesniak]

Jon, which of your videos explains how to convert a midi track from the sequencer into a MP3. I looked but can't find it. thanks.

[edlesniak]

Jon, is it possible to first record a melody on the Pa5x, and then have the
background accompaniment follow along?
Or do you always have to start with a chord sequence then the melody?
If you have already addressed this in another video of yours, I'm sorry I just haven't seen it yet thanks, ed

Here's a song for you try the Beatles song Hey Bulldog try to do it with the arranger styles it will work forget the basslines and stuff like that to work properly it works around it but it won't do Paul McCartney's bassline even if you quantized it to high 4/32 notes or whatever

[alanadee]

So I have a PA 1000 and I am like spoiled like crazy cuz you know you can just take a a style and recorded into a midi song and then tweak the tracks like if the Baseline is not what you want can you just add the one that's supposed to be there

[alanadee]

A recurring problem just came up files in use cannot be deleted how do you delete files in this thing what are the only way I found is I have to take the little flash drive out and put it in the laptop and delete stuff I should not have to do that it's saying that the freaking file is in use and I can't get rid of it and I need to because it's taking up room on something that I don't want to pay for too much like another flash drive and then it lets you make your accumulate songs that are bullshit songs that are not supposed to be there just cluttering up the thing

[colinwhite]

i tried this and it wouldnt load the midi is this because of the update

[alishaker]

thank you for the tips but here in america we use cubase

[alanadee]

I still want to know why they made a 16 track sequencer and there's no append there's no copy paste no cut or delete you know append how many tracks do you want I want eight instead of having to record 56 measures, loop the thing instantly like I used to I know I worked with sequences before the way easier than this
