Subject:Re: Problem with SK2 thru Vent

Jim, Brillant idea and it works. If I plug the expression pedal into the Korg M3 I can play the SK1 on the SK1 or play it on the M3 and the expression pedal controls the volume either way. The 'expression source' on the sk1 is set to MIDI. So now weather I play the organ live or the computer is 'playing' the organ part the 'expression source' does not have to be changed. I owe you. Thanks, Leo

What are you using as a sequencer? If it is a computer can you connect the expression pedal to the M3 and have it send expression data (and probably everything else) to the computer? Use something like MIDIOX or SoundQuest's MIDI Tools MIDI Mapper to filter out everything but the expression data and send that to the SK-1? Maybe the sequencer software already can do it.

I think the Music player/audio files would give you more options and flexibility but this would allow you to just set the SK-1 to MIDI expression control and be done.

Even with 2 keyboards, recording the audio of the SK-1 playing the MIDI file and then using the SK-1's Music Player to play the audio file rather than the sequencer sending the MIDI file would still simplify your setup. And you would have 2 live keyboards to play along with the audio file. You might even find that the SK-1's EVs aren't that bad and work your way down to 1 keyboard for the whole show.

I don't need them both to control the volume at the same time. But for any particular song I load into the sequencer I may need the sequencer  controlling the expression - for this I would need the expression source set to MIDI. I would probably be playing a piano or trumpet patch on another keyboard.The next song I may play the organ sound live and need to control the volume with the expression pedal. But because the expression source is set for MIDI I would not be able to control the volume. I would need to go into the menu and set the expression source to pedal(rev). Like I mentioned this is not a problem on the CX3.

Playing the EV's live while the MIDI file plays the organ would have the organ raising/lowering the EV's volume sometimes while you working the expression pedal live would be raising/lowering them both too. I think the way to get what you want would be to record the audio of your MIDI file playing the organ and then using the SK-1's music player to play the audio files. It has its own independent volume so once you have the audio of the organ (with its included volume changes) recorded you could set the music player's volume to match your EV's. You could then also play the organ live when you wanted to along with the EV's with or without the music player.
