Hi Larry,
Quote "I'm not sure what happened, but the voice changes for the right hand never converted properly. On the original Technics sequence the right hand voice was a violin, but after converting to a GM, the violin was now an organ2 and remained an organ2 throughout the midi song even though I switched voices throughout the original Technics recording.
I also used pads that were never copied from Technics to GM, leaving a gap where the pads were used. I'm not sure what happened to the pads."
The reason these changes were not converted to your MIDI file is that the commands or event instructions used to make the changes in the KN7000, are not part of any MIDI specification - the commands are unique to the KN7000 and therefore would not be understood by a MIDI device.
The MIDI spec. includes specific instruction codes to change or define a particular voice (Instrument) and unless the file includes these specific instructions, the voices will not change.
Other commands on the KN7000 such as Panel Memory Settings/Changes, Fill-ins, Performance Pads etc. are also unique to the KN7000 and again, will not be recognised when converting a recording to MIDI format.
It should be possible to use a MIDI editor program, such as Cakewalk, to insert commands, such as voice changes, into a KN7000 to MIDI converted file, however, you would still of course, be confined to MIDI voices only.
