You are quite right there Ian. And people know me by now and where to find me if they think I could be of use. As I mentioned before my expertise on the Korg keyboards tends to be exaggerated I feel, but on the other hand there are many others who could no doubt benefit from it.
I hope to sort out the " hooking up your Korg Micro to a major keyboard " tomorrow and will explain on the forum. And of course the merits of using the Micro in conjunction with either monitors or the amplification of e.g. the Tyros or whichever main arranger keyboard that you have got.

John Smies

John your very welcome !

Yes, it certainly did sound like a spur of the moment decision, Rikki, and Donny has done these before on other instruments, but, thankfully, he has come to his senses and decided to give the instrument a good honest try.

It is strange for the Leslie issue...I have run into a similar situation with an older Yamaha setup, where I wanted both Leslie and Overdrive/distortion and was unable to get both to my satisfaction, and had to come to terms with the fact it wasn't going to happen.

Considering the microArranger has so many other excellent features (Scott Yee has been telling me about his keyboard), it appears Donny would have been going to "throw the baby out with the bath water", to use a common Canadian expression.

Time is of the essence with a new instrument, but patience is a close second as I have learned over many years of dealing with arrangers, clients and my own personal keyboards.

Donny is a passionate and excitable fellow, and sometimes he gets exasperated with a seemingly unsolvable, and clearly, a very important issue, but perhaps John Smies, our resident Korg expert (and programmer), or Fran, Donny's knowledgeable mentor, will be able to find a suitable workaround.

Fran, Dave and Donny

Problem is solved thank you Col

Hi Donny,
that's great.
If you get a chance, just like to know if it was fixed by tweaking the actual sound, or if you had too many effects running at same time or what.

Don't need actual details.

Hate unsolved puzzles. haahaa.

Rikki you got mail..

Hi Ian,
regrettably neither John Smies nor myself were able to help. I personally don't do a great deal in the way of tweaking/editing sounds or performances etc, in general I'm quite happy with what's onboard,. I waste all of my time messing around with styles ( as you may be aware ,haahaa) . Unfortunately even though I tried to help Donny, I wasn't really any help.

Fortunately Col appears to have come to the rescue.

Thanks Donny

I predicted this although he kept it longer than I thought. It's good we can still depend on some things in this world like taxes, death and Donny sticking with Yamaha. Donny has Yamaha blood in his veins. Donny uses what works for him and it works for him very well. Keep it up my friend.
