Korg MonoTribe - Midi triggering.

The monotribe has two sections:
Synth & Drums


 mY  monotribe has been fitted with midi. I can't remember what kit I used. Sorry. Those were the days before I documented everything in a blog.
It's a very useful synth. So simple.... yet enough for the foundation of a track.
Just 3 drum voices & a mono synth.


Synth: Use midi channel 1

Drums: It’s using the standard General MIDI specification for drums,
which means the Drum section is triggered on MIDI channel 10 using the following notes .

Name    Note number    Note name    GM drum name
BD    36    C1    Bass drum 1
SN    40    E1    Snare dum 2/Electric snare
HH    42    F#1    Closed hi-hat

This works for DAWs like Abelton

Note: your sequencer might be different.
I'm using a Pioneer Toraiz Squid. You'll need to shift the notes up an octave.



Name    Note number    Note name    GM drum name
BD    36    C2  Bass drum 1
SN    40    E2   Snare drum 2/Electric snare
HH    42    F#2    Closed hi-hat

The Pioneer Squid its a revelation for me. Thanks Mitch for the advice. It's allowed me to re-use lots of my old synths & drums in unconventional ways.
----------
Turn off all active steps in the monotribe sequencer, otherwise this will play the moment you start
your external sequencer.
Turn down the noise.
