Help with Roland MKS 50 - 12/06/00 05:29 AM

Hi! I'm using a MKS 50 with my computer, running Cubase 5 VST32. I have two questions, I've tried to record with one patch on one channel in cubase and with another patch on another channel, the problem is that the MKS50 cannot playback these different sounds at the same time. I figured that this must be something that I can fix, or else I would have to get several MSK 50's! :-) I'm sure that there's just some midistuff on the module to fiddle with to get it working, but please help me!!

BTW... where can I get a manual for this sweetie??

The MKS50 is capable of playing ONLY 6 notes at a time. It is possible to have each voice on a separate channel, but you need to set up the module for use as a guitar sound source. That was the original idea - as a module for a midi guitar with each string playing a different tone voice. Since the maximun number of simultainious notes is so low - the MKS50 is not a great choice for computer music. There is just not enough note power.
