MIDI out of computer to MIDI in of Korg
Set MIDI device in BiaB to the external MIDI output port.

Audio out of Korg to your monitoring system (this will vary)

Set Korg to GM compatibility mode for default usage.

Load file hit play.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

1. Download the .pat file from the support section on the website.
2. Acquire a USB to midi set of cables unless you have a USB connector from the keyboard to the computer.
3. Select your keyboard as the midi device in Control Panel, and in Opts Prefs Midi.
4. Select the + sign where you would assign midi instruments to a track. Load the .pat file as per the instructions in the support section.
4. Test changing patches, you should be able to play thru the program or have the program use the sounds in your keyboard.

I personally don't see why you'd need to use the Thru function. I normally just use a small mixer and output my keyboard to the mixer, the audio from the computer to the mixer and plug in the mic. If you have better sounds in the keyboard then you could use the midi out function and the line out from your keyboard would blend what you play with what band in a box is outputting.

John, the Korg 03Rw is an antique, came out in 1992 but it does have a GM bank. I know you've got belly button lint older than that but in the world of synths, it's an antique. No USB stuff here.

Djidoe, Rharv has it right. I used to have a T1, basically the same sounds. 32 voice which means not good for multimbral ie multi-track work like with Biab. To me it's not that good, you're better off using the included Roland DXi softsynth or the Forte softsynth for $40 but if you like it, then sure, set it up for the GM soundbank and go for it. Play with the GM sounds first then look into using other patches. You'll find one problem is with the drums, they're not GM drums except for the GM soundbank ones and it's a total pain to get them set up properly which is why you should stick to the GM bank for now.

I should have looked it up. My bad. My advice would be anything that old should be in a nursing home. As to my lint, how did you know? At least since I lost some weight I can see the thing.
