Far too much data nowadays, especially with lots of sys-ex running down the pipe, which interrupts clock signals' timing. I can't get my G70 to do this either, whereas my G1000 had no trouble. I guess things are just getting too complicated. But try filtering sys-ex from the Korg's output... this MIGHT tighten up clock lock but it might cause some things to get recorded not quite the same as the original sound. Worth a try, perhaps. How is USB for MIDI between the two? Any better?

Basically, If I have to redo a section, I simply use the Arranger Recorder (the one that 'captures' the entire machine) to record JUST that section, then save it as a new SMF in the arranger, which I can (after transfer) open INSIDE the arrangement that has the earlier capture on it in Cubase. I can then chop out the 'bad' section, and drag and drop (or insert) the new section into it, then save as a new SMF.

I would have thought Sonor7 should have been capable of such a simple task... Try opening an SMF in Sonor, then ask it to 'Import' another one. Maybe you can get it to open in the same arrangement, or maybe it opens a new, parallel one, in which case you ought to be able to copy and paste between the two. I'm afraid I know next to nothing about Sonor (I'm a Mac guy), but this seems basic in any modern computer sequencer, even if it gives fits to the on board pieces of junk!

Give it a try...


Yeah, I also tried USB midi but it was in some cases less better than just standard midi communication over cables. You may have a point regarding sysex. I will have to experiment to see how much is being jammed down the pipe. I hadn't thought about that.

Well, I'm feeling better that others (sorry ) have not had much success with this either but your suggestions regarding importing I actually do use with success in Sonar. I did reach the conclusion a few weeks ago that simply saving separate midi files on the Korg for each section of song and then manually importing into the host sequencer might be how others are approaching this. Thanks for confirming that. This has really been how I've been dealing with it. Hey, it works. It's not the greatest for inspirational flow but it works. There are worse things to deal with.

thanks for your thoughts! It is appreciated.
