Diki, it is totally different and who said I use the iPad for anything but charts..I certainly didn't.

As I have said before, adding the laptop to control Karma, on top of an iPad on top of a keyboard is just way too much..okay for someone like you who has another person who can carry stuff whilst you are fiddling....

SK had to do some pretty creative mapping to get the Karma controls allocated to the Yamaha buttons. But on the Korg (or any arranger really) they are all there ready to use in a very logical thought out way.

And controllers are only good for CC commands, NOT sysex..the only one I am aware of that allows programming

Why do you always insist on trying to being so obtuse!!! Were you born that way or did you have to study for it

How LONG have you been around midi????? A simple job of mapping sysex??? Give over m8!!!! Do you realise just how many sysex commands are needed for some of the higher functions? Check out a sysex data sheet (NOT the midi implementation page) for your G70, and even that pales into insignificance when compared to a Motif XF or Kronos.

And I have not read closely the Korg copyright data, so maybe there is even some stuff there as well!! It is a different company to Korg USA you know.

Anyhoo, I think you are merely trying for arguing for arguings sake, so I am going to leave it there....
