How to control Korg MS-1

Question

Hello!

I am really digging MIDI Designer so far, but i'm having some trouble..

Heres what I'm trying to do:

(1) press a key on my Korg MicroSampler (note on) and have it sustain (no note off)

(2) when A different key is pressed, send a note off command to all other keys

Basically, I am trying to use MIDI Designer as a MIDI filter, not intending to use the control surface on the iPad to do anything else. I'm attempting to emulate how my MPC does monophonic mode with pads ( where one pad will sustain until a different pad is pressed, then that pad will sustain, and so on. )

Any help would be greatly appreciated ! :)

Glad to help. When you're happy and sorted, if you feel like leaving a 5-star extensive review in the App Store ***for version 1.6.1***, please do!

I was alerted by the App Store that version 1.6.1 was available to upgrade...

Thank You for implementing the Receive MIDI option!!
This is the only software that allows me to do what I really want to do.
With this update you have turned the MicroSampler into something the developers at Korg never thought about.
Once I get to a computer, I will provide a very positive review.
There are many MS-1 owners that have been looking for this function, you have made us very happy.
Exceptional communication, implementation & follow-up. My words barely do your work justice.
Thank you and thank you.

Another question related to this topic:

Can I use MIDI Designer as a MIDI Thru for certain keys?

I have set up the top two octaves as the mute groups. The lowest octave I would like to play as normal. In order for the mute groups to work correctly, I have to disable Local MIDI on my keyboard.

To get the lowest octave to perform as the keyboard regularly would, I have to create two buttons for each key. One that accepts the MIDI In for that key, and another that sends the MIDI data back to the keyboard (subcontrolled from the first button).

Is there a way to create a button and enable it as a MIDI Thru? Thus, avoiding the need for extra buttons and controls (which slow everything down & also creates a doubling effect)

Thank you for your hard work, I hope my long review for Version 1.6.1 made it to the App Store (haven't seen it on there yet).

Hi and thanks for these comments! Looking forward to seeing the review. What store are you in? We see all of them, but we tend to look more at the US (that's the store we buy through ;))

There is no way to enable MIDI thru for keys except the way that you've done it. We will consider it soon, but please feel free to break it into a separate question as a suggestion. That way we can also try to nail down what you want to do.

Thanks!!!
