Hi Sparky589

Expression(Volume) control is normally cc11, (Don’t confuse with sound volume cc7) and if you make sure the Korg outputs this command over Midi, then you will only need the expression pedal connected to your Korg, as it will control expression (Volume) on both the Korg and SD2 simultaneously.

Check also to see if the Korg has any Midi sound banks (I believe the larger models do) as you can set these to select any Midi voice and setting on the SD2, (Don’t forget to save them as a user voice) and then use them as if they were a normal Korg user voice. (Effectively the SD2 becomes part of the Korg)

Hope this helps

Thank you Bill. It's a little work but makes things easier afterward. I use a separate pedal for the sd2 as I play a midi accordion and the keyboard on gigs. The accordion runs through the sd2. With the full band I don't need rhythms; I use the previously stated method when single. I use a midi merge to input the accordion and keyboard signals to the sd2, and the midi thru to the keyboard for rhythms with the accordion on singles. .

And no, I don't play both instruments at the same time. Also, the camera adds 20 lbs....

Great gig pictures, ....although some might not like the Accordion,....it's one of the Only true "SOLO" instruments there is, Piano also, letting a musician "acoustically" play two things at once, rhythm, chords, melody.

Thanx for sharing.

Hi Guys,
PA3X / PA800 makes for a great controller for a sound module.
In Style Play Mode
press Menu Button
press Track controls
Press Track select button to toggle between Accomp Tracks & Lower /Upper Voices.

Default is BOTH for each of the tracks , but you can also set to internal or external. Press External to use a sound module, & at the top set the Bank & program changes required for the external voice you want to use.
When finished, drop down menu & write it to a STS so it's permanently linked to that style.

Off topic , but
I used to use this method for playing the drum & percussion tracks for my ketron style conversions. PA800 sounds were great for bass, piano etc, but PA800 couldn't play those ketron Live drum tracks , so I used the sd2 instead for the Live drum & Drum tracks.

Hi Tony,
do you need some styles? Spent weeks sorting out PA3X/ PA800 duplicates, plus the musikant duplicates. Might not be 100% perfect as far as PA600 goes ( ie it may not have all the PA3X styles & vice versa ) but if you need some, let me know.

Rikki ... thank you ... I actually got your styles from my fellow Rhode Island-er SteveM after I got the Pa600 ... so THANK YOU ...the wheel goes round, and round ...

This is just one of the things that makes this community so great, and SO valuable ...

Rikki,
Thanks for the information regarding using PA3X as controller. It's something I may try at some point.
All I really would like is a few electric guitars though. I need to do some looking around and/or editing.

Tony so now you have the Musikant JIG style I would assume?

Actually, Donny, I do not ... I have searched EVERY STYLE set and cannot find the JIG ... is it listed as the Irish Jig or something else?
thanks ...
