Chapter 5 - Keyboard instruments

Keyboard Instruments

The keyboard instruments have 18 buttons, each of which represents a channel on the keyboard.


This is the MIDI part of the software program that works in conjunction with the Korg!
In the software, I have 16 channels, each representing a sound in the channel buttons of the keyboard.
For example, I can choose one instrument for the first channel, but I can select from 127 different instruments for each subsequent channel.


That means I can have the sound I want in the keyboard if I select the instrument in the channel button.
Again, these 127 instruments are fixed sounds, but this time, because they are to be played with the keyboard, I can change the octaves of the keyboard and get different sounds.



This is not my favourite part of the machine.

1-I am not brilliant with keyboards.
2 -The keyboard has an off tempo. He just does the sound after I have pressed the keyboard tab.


There are 18 buttons and 16 channels for instruments; the 2 extra buttons are:
(see image 1)
1 - Enter silence (wish stops the FX sound from the WAV Effects panel) 
2- The FX button, this one triggers the sound of the WAV effect playing and passes it to the keyboard, which I wish aloud to me to play the FX sounds in the Korg.
3- Channel 10 is always Drums. I can also trigger the drums on the keyboard, but in this case, the octaves do not change the drum sounds.
This part includes the FX channels and the wheel to create pitch bend and scratch effects.
As you can see, the extra "Silence" and "FX" buttons allow me to do what I have explained before!



I do not plan to make much use of the wheel scratch feature of the machine, unless I need to add some extra sounds while changing the background sound or other elements.
