Experienced Patcher's help needed

[bakuna]

i'm not sure if what i'm tying to achieve is possible but since g2 seems to have ulitimed patching abilities exerienced advise could make it happen.
i have Yamaha G10 midi controller (see picture attached). i'm using left hand mode only .its basically paying on neck only. combined left + right hand mode is not playable because it gives you too long delay with right hand picking(for right hand picking G10 uses similar to Pitch to midi conversion pick up , pith to midi conversion technology is currently not good enough .
what i want to be able to do is to use midi keyboard or Korg Midi control

to be able to triger notes on G10 (you can think of it as instead of picking
notes on the guitar with your right hand tapping pads(s) to triger notes.
its easily possible on Korg Midi control but not quite the way i think it could be achievable . i want to be able to pick the note on the neck of g10 ,lets say C3 NOTE and by tapping on the Korg pad triger the same note . next note C sharp 3 picked on the neck of G10 would sent C sharp 3 on the same Korg pad as before. so its literally korg would be receiving commends from g10 . g10 will be telling one of the korg pads which note send back to g2 . can above be achieved ?

to be able to play control 4 strings is already big leap forward . while i was waiting for somebody to respond i patched something up with my limiting patching abilities but not quite what i described . it would be awesome if you could share how it would be done !

I think it would be a lot easier to figure out exactly what you need if you would use complete sentences and didn't asume everybody knew all the details about this controler's midi implementation. Right now your post is very hard to read yet gives very little information.

For example; do all those strings have their own MIDI channel? Does this Korg have a MIDI-merge function? Doyou want just one pad to "strum" all strings at the same time or are we looking for a more flamengo style of playing?

What I was thinking was to have 4 identical monophonic patches loaded into ABC and D slots. Assuming that the G10 does transmit on a separate midi channel for each string, each of the 4 slots should respond to note info for one string. Next step is to disconnect gate (turn off KBD button on envelopes) and velocity from the patch and replace with gate/velocity outputs of a MIDI NoteRcv module, one for each slot. Set the NoteRcv MIDI channel and note number to match those produced by four pads and you should be set. Save the whole thing as a performance.
The problem with going to a single polyphonic patch is that there is no control of the voice allocation, so you would not know which string was going to be triggered by a given pad. You would also loose individual bend data, limiting playing style.

G10 does transmit on a separate midi channel for each string , no matter how difficult it sounds what Gian suggests i'm gonna try tonight to execute it .

[quote]Does this Korg have a MIDI-merge function?

Korg pads can transmit/receive different cc# on each pad .i'm not sure if it has midi merge function . if i pick single not on the G10 NECK i wand to be able to triger same note with Korg pad .its just playing with two hands is more interesting then with one. not necessarily Flamengo type of strumming i want to achieve , i'd be more then happy with monophonic trigger . but anyhow it sounds that Gian uderstood what i'm trying to do.
i will write back tomorrow /

Do I understand you correctly if I think you want to determine the pitch of the notes by the G10 and use the trigger signals from the pads? That would be quite easy on a G2, but you need a midi merge device (for combining both midi signals in the G2 midi-in) and the problem G2ian pointed out with the 6 strings / 4 slots.

thats what i want to do . is it a standard MIDI merge merger i need or theres any particular one ? and how do i integrate it ?

[Jason]

I think this is what they are referring to

2 into 1 = midi merge

[bakuna]

thx.

i'm using midiman 8x8 with cubase sx . any idea of possible routings?

[ian-s]

The padKontrol does not seem to have a soft through or merge (unless a computer is connected, then the in acts as a MIDI to USB).

How about the G10? If it does not have a dedicated MIDI Through connector than it may have a merger built in. Check the manual first.

[bakuna]

Pad Control doesn't but G10 does , is there any possibilities ?
i recorded some melody lines to one of your tunes Gian hope you don't
mind .there's some mic spillage , i left mic on by mistake while recording

Cool

Glad you got it working, sounds good.

[bakuna]

You have some good work done . i would like to think something for Nagasaki ...

[bakuna]

i would be great if someone can finalize it . Gian , if G10 has MIDI through how can it be possible to implement what i'm trying to do ? if it is not possible then i will stop posting and let you guys get on with your doings

thx for the prf. i'll try to work it tonight
