Recording System Exclusive Events - Korg NAUTILUS Series Operation Manual

Recording System Exclusive events

Exclusive messages received from an external MIDI device
or the parameter changes produced when you edit a MIDI
track parameter, audio track parameter or effect parameter
can be realtime-recorded on any MIDI track.
During playback, the exclusive messages you recorded will
control the track parameters and effect parameters of the
song, and can be sent to external MIDI devices.
Note: You can use the page menu command "Put Effect Set-
ting to Track" to insert an exclusive event containing the
parameter settings for an insert effect, master effect or total
effect into the desired location of a track, so that these set-
tings will automatically switch during playback.
GM, XG, and GS exclusive messages can be recorded on
a track, but the NAUTILUS's tone generator will not
respond to these messages.
Recording internal parameter changes
You can use SysEx for automation of internal NAUTILUS
effects and Program parameters.
As an example, let's record a short phrase on track 1, add an
insert effect, and then record parameter changes for that
effect on an unused track.
Note: In order to record system exclusive messages, make
sure that the GLOBAL > MIDI– MIDI setting "Enable
Exclusive" is checked.
1. Select the desired program for MIDI track 1, and
route it to IFX1. Then record a phrase of about
sixteen measures.
• In the Home– Mixer page, use "Program Select" to select
the desired program for MIDI Track 01.
• In the IFX– MIDI Routing1 page, route the MIDI Track
01 Bus Select (IFX/Indiv. Out Assign) to IFX1. Then in
the IFX– Insert FX page, select the desired effect for
IFX1.
• Select MIDI Track 01 in "Track Select." Then press the
SEQUENCER REC button and then the SEQUENCER
START/STOP button, and record a phrase of about
sixteen measures.
2. Select MIDI Track 09 in "Track Select," and record
parameter changes as desired.
Note: For this example, select an empty track. If you
want to record onto a MIDI track that already contains
data, set the Home– Recording Setup page Recording
Setup to "Overdub," as described on page 80.
MIDI recording Recording System Exclusive events
• Select MIDI Track 09 in "Track Select." Then press the
SEQUENCER REC button and then the SEQUENCER
START/STOP button, and begin recording.
• At the appropriate time while recording, adjust the
parameter(s) that you want to realtime-record.
Select another effect for IFX1 in the IFX– Insert FX
page, and edit the effect parameter values, or use the
Home– Tone Adjust page Tone Adjust controls to edit the
sound in realtime.
Note: For details on the effects parameters that you can
record in real-time, please see "System Exclusive events
supported in Sequencer mode" on page 557 of the PG.
3. Stop recording.
Note: Exclusive messages are always recorded on the
current track selected by "Track Select." In this example,
they are recorded on MIDI track 9.
Note: In the MIDI event edit screen you can view the
recorded exclusive events and their location. Exclusive
events are displayed as "EXCL".
To view these events, go to the Track Edit– Track Edit
page, and select the page menu command "MIDI Event
Edit." Then in the Set Event Filters dialog box, check
Exclusive and press the OK button.
Location Event display
Exclusive events cannot be changed to a different type of
event. Nor can other events be changed into exclusive
events.
4. If you go to the page (e.g., Insert Effect) that shows the
parameters you adjusted in realtime, you can watch
the recorded changes be reproduced while the song
plays back.
