Can I create a patch inside the synth? I read a comment online that said user patches can only be created in a DAW

Yes it's possible to create a patch inside the synth. Turn the Select/Edit (Genre) knob to ALL and make sure the it is set to 0-127 not A-Z and then navigate to the C banks which you can create a patch from scratch and save.

You can certainly tweak, create and edit your own patches using the MinoNova interface, but it isn't recommended because it's not the most user friendly environment do it in. The DAW software acts as a bonus to alleviate bouncing around sub menus.

Used a Midi to usb cable & driver made by "M Audio" to connect my microkorg to my pc. M Audio has since then been bought out by Avid, so the newer version of that cable is probably even better now. The other way to connect it is thru a DAW such as MBOX. There are midi inputs on the hardware that will interface with protools.

You can manually map any akai professional controller to almost any DAW, i use my lpd8 with both ableton, fl studio and traktor so i would assume it will work for you as well.

Chris - I think my last response got lost or cut short(my mistake). I'll try again. The short answer to this is no. I ran through all the presets and even some tweaks I use and cannot find any standard piano sounds. There are a couple/few organ sounds you can work with. If you want standard piano sounds, you can buy a MUCH cheaper keyboard/MIDI controller for that purpose. All that being said, this is probably the best musical instrument purchase I've ever made. I'm not really a trained musician, but the sounds I can create with this micorKorg are amazing. I hope some of this helps. MK_from_PA

They are just midi triggers... You could probably have 6 of them hooked up at once. They do nothing until you assign the functions through your DAW

No you can't. It isn't programmable with custom loop tracks or sounds. What comes on it is all you get.

I saw that there is garageband support with a plugin, check here: http://www.roland.com/support/article/?q=downloads&p=A-300PRO&id=44382538

You can use a midi controller as long as 1.its powered, 2 you intend to only input midi notes and use the pitch and mod wheels. as for going from one patch to another, its all got to be entered by hand because its analog. But thats part of what makes the sound so great. Limitations with the gear ya use open up creative doors.

Hi Ted, no I don't think so - but the loops you save on the sd card can easily be dragged into ableton (which is the one I use), if you record even with a metronome, it means that the loop lengths are all the same and easy to work with. There is an additional help download from line6 which tells you how to record and save individual layers so that everything syncs well.The alternative is something like the peavey vypyrs, even the bottom end ones have a pc out so you can use it as an interface with your guitar (they also bundle revalver with it, which is good quality software). Hope that helps - if not, ask again, I'm very happy to try and help.

Native Instruments has a controller editor, the maschine can go into "midi" mode also, where its essentially just a blank template controller. I use mine sometimes for DJing. It also pulls up in most DAW's as a plugin, and then within the DAW is essentially the full maschine program as a plug in. Hope this helps.

No you cannot assign your own, as it is not a sampler . You can only slightly tweek the preset sounds.

Each patch has a level control in the amp effect. That's what I found to control volume. It also depends on what effect the patcha has. For instance, a patch will be louder than another one if the gain is higher on the amp setting or a boost effect is on.

You can assign anything midi to it. Not just the sounds that come with the minilab . I use it with the Gargeband built in instruments no problem. Hopes this helps out.

Yes, Cubase is able to edit MIDI tracks, and, if a sound is applied to the MIDI data, it can be recorded to an audio track. Please let us know if you have any questions.

I would think Midi through would be the way to go for daisy chaining. Saw a video on the product and that's how I understand it - that is a common usage of the midi through. Check this link - at the end of the description there is a visual example of 3 synths that have been daisy chained http://www.indiana.edu/~emusic/etext/MIDI/chapter3_MIDI2.shtml

If you're speaking of Sysex type messages for patch saving & such, possibly-reach out to the iConnectivity.com Support Page for MIDI spec deets.

Absolutely. I have not yet done that myself. But I have seen it done in a tutorial video. Only thing is the sample buttons only hold up to 16 beats.
