Wow, do I need help. I do understand so much about this keyboard, but when it comes to the keyboard talking to the volcalizer (MIDI), I run very short.
1-When I load certain midi files, I find the selection on the Volcalizer has changed. The keyboard is talking to the Volcalizer, but where? How? Talking about getting frustrated.

2-If I want the keyboard to tell the Volcalizer which program to select How do I write that in the keyboard?

After 121 tries I have been humbled -- I need help--Thanks, John C.

Hi John
I have the same setup,but I can't even get my Vocalizer to respond to my left hand chords,let alone dictate program numbers.

Bernie

Bernie,
I set the keyboard (Midi) Chanel 1 for right hand 1 --- chanel 2 for right hand 2
--- Chanel 3 for my left hand. I do not think that chanels 1 and 2 are important.

Then in the Voclaist it's Utilities -- Midi (left bottom) -- then Chanel cc (left top)
--- then Vocorder and Harmony on chanel 3.

The only problem that has come up from time to time is when loading a midi file that has data which changes the Volcalist's settings.

Hope that helps -- now I muist go back to calming down (Grin)

Take good care, John C.

More and more midifiles have vocalizer track ready set nowadays, usually at track 5
and will send sysx-data info when loading.

Bernie, there lies my problem -- Dictating program numbers is only my desire. My need is to have the Vocalist not change programs because of different files. I go to my next song and find I am singing with a bunch of girls instead of 2 guys.
This is all about Midi. Like all subjects untill you learn it is all so strange.

Bernie, I have decided that is going to be a great day, you have one two, JohnC.

Hi GJ, I understand sysx-data is being transmitted, but what does it look like? Where is it?(You have said it may be in track 5)
And how can I rewrite my own sysx-data? Do I write it from my keyboard or my PC?

Thak you for helping, John C.

The sysex (for SYStem EXclusive), info are in the beginning of a track, to set GM and GS
mode are most often in track 6 and 11. This is the message sendt to keyboard during load
about what settings to use.
I'm not much into Vocalists yet, tried it a few times, but I think you can preset the
keyboard to not receive such data when load if you want to preserve your personal settings.

When use a midifile that are ready for a vocalist machine, averything should be ready set
to most optional voicing performance regarding that song, and as far as I know and what
I've read about it, it's track 5 that are used as standard.
In some of those files I can see no other music programmed,so I guess you can delete track
5 and resave as a new file and the vocalist info will not load? (In others I've seen there
often are choir as well.)
But again, I've probably much more to learn about this yet, than most other users.
