1..does your external korg midi device have audio out ?
The EK-50 has an ear-phone socket, and a separate pair of phono audio out. Neither of these is currently connected to the computer running RealBand.
i assume it does .and i assume there is a midi setting to RECEIVE midi back from the pc ?
yes, there is, and I have used that on occasion. But I don't see how that could impact on simply playing the EK-50 with RealBand 'recording'.
2..in your rb prefs what is your default synth set to ? no you dont have to use the microsoft synth.
you can use a vsti instrument also on each midi trak to override default.
I haven't been in there yet. But I don't envisage going that route anyway. I do know how to record 'real Ek-50 audio' direct into RealBand. I'm just curious to clarify what is going on in the simplest set-up, as I have described.
3. have you tried recording midi in rb and seeing if you hear sounds output from korg ? ie..pc midi >>korg midi in ?
Yes, that works fine, and I will sometimes use that set-up
this will prolly depend on a korg setting. i dont use your korg. RUN A TEST.
4..please post pics of both your audio driver rb settings and your midi in/out settings .
otherwise it means i have to type a looong thread of options/details.
I have lined up a dump, but can't currently see a route to attach it to this message ? I will be interested to see whether, to an expert eye, this casts any light on my basic questions, viz: could RealBand import actual EK-50 audio down the printer-type USB cable, a connection which is primarily intended for MIDI?


I don't think so, but you COULD record the Audio signal from it using the Audio Oputs of the synth.

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