Re: hey... i'm new here... just a few queries involving midi, karma and cubase

Hi Andrew
I'll just point you to the soundtower website and suggest you try 
out demo (free) for our Karma editor (Karma EditPro). I'm sure it 
can go towards helping you sort out some you the quesitons as you 
will be able to see the result of your work on screen.

best

found that i cannot change  the programs in cubase without the karma 
defaulting to the (g) general  midi bank, i found the cubase section 
where you can add devices, it  lists some popular synths and 
workstations by various brands, the karma  is missing from this list 
so i tried the triton options instead as i've  heard these are very 
similar

displays the names of default triton sounds  (i do not know which 
triton its for... perhaps classic?) even when for  exampe i 
choose  "b" bank sound 32... it'll still go to G

only 128 program locations.... it can use general midi
>   i heard mention of sysex and msb/lsb numbers... how do i use 
these? is  there a simple program i can use, or a device profile for 
cubase that  works well with the karma (like that triton thing i 
found)...is setting  hte karma to "gm2" mode or "korg" mode make any 
difference? what is the  difference?

menus, then setting the karma to "local off"  with a  drum patch

instead of  drums..... its quiet strange... if i set local to on 
then i hear both

same  channel without changing anything changing from drum map to 
normal  pianoroll and it would change from drums to noisystabber... 
its a small  thing i know... i could just get used to programming 
drums in pianoroll  mode.... but it still just pisses me off...
