I got things set up so BIB will play back through my synth. I needed to connect my 1L and 2 R line outs from my synth to the line ins of my MBox. Next question. I've configured my Korg according to the "Get Patch/Drum Kit Info". This configures Combi A00 to be compatible with BIB. If this is the case, then how do I play other synth combi in BIB. In-other-words, what if I wanted to record the sounds from combi A78? Do I have to do that only through audio? If not, what is it in the configuration that I need to follow to record/playback any combi in BIB? Here is how BIB says I need to config. my Korg for A00: Code:
O1W.DK help file. Loading in the file O1W.DK will set up Band-in-a-Box for the Korg O1\W synthesizer. It will set up : 1. Drum #'s for Korg 01/W (Patch 9 ) 2. Patch Map (assigned to factory settings of Korg 01/W) 3. Startup Patches and Channels in Midi window. If you have modified the Patches in your O1/W from the factory settings you may have to modify the Patch Map in BB (from the MIDI pull down menu).
The only remaining step for you is to setup the Korg O1\W in Multi-Timbral mode to receive multiple instruments at once. In "Program mode" the O1W will only play 1 instrument at a time. In Combination mode it will play up to 8 at once- so you want to be in combination mode and setup a combination.
To Setup the O1/W, from the front panel: 1. Go to Combination Mode "COMBI". Select combo #0 by pressing 00 on the # pad. 2. Then press the EDIT COMBO button to EDIT The Combination 3. You will then be using the PAGE + and PAGE - keys to PAGE through the Combination setting up each of the 8 instruments each of the A-H keys represents a different instrument.
Setup your Combination as follows:
A B C D E F G H Bass Piano Drums Guitar Horns Strings Melody Thru Page 0 Combination type MULTI Page 1 Program # B06 B01 A09 B04 B22 B07 B04 B04 Page 2 Channel 2 3 10 7 8 6 4 5 Page 3 Key Window Type ALL= C-1/ G9 Page 4 Output 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 Page 5 Transpose 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Page 6 Pan Pot 5:5 is in the middle - can separate as you like Page 7 Enable Prg All should be Enabled Page 8 Effect 1= "4:Room" :ON 0.7 D022 E76 HD10 L:0 H:0 80:20 Effect 2 = "19:Chorus 1 ":ON M60 S0.30 D010 TRI L:0 H:0 86:14
Then Go to PAGE 9 and SAVE the Combination by pressing the 'G' key twice. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU SET THE 'GLOBAL CHANNEL' ON THE O1\W TO AN UNUSED CHANNEL - EG. CHANNEL 1 . DO THIS FROM THE 'GLOBAL' BUTTON THEN KEY #5. OTHERWISE A PATCH CHANGE SENT ON THE GLOBAL CHANNEL WILL CHANGE THE COMBINATION FROM THE "BAND-IN-A-BOX COMBO" TO A DIFFERENT COMBO!!!
Once you have done this , Band-in-a-Box is ready to Play your O1\W just by you selecting COMBO 0 from the O1\W panel ( as long as you have loaded in the O1\W.DK file into BB and then saved it as MYSETUP.DK)
YOU WILL NOW BE READY TO GO WITH Band-in-a-Box AND THE O1\W !
