Midiflow preset sharing thread
Hi, I thought it'd be a good thing to have a thread dedicated to some Midiflow presets. They can take some time to work out so it might be useful to find some already done. They can easily be modified if they are slightly different to your setup. Plus there are many folk on this forum much more experienced with midi than me so I can piggyback on the shoulders of giants etc....
Thought I'd start with one I made today. Patterning to Korg Volca Sample. Thoroughly encourage this routing, lots of fun if you have both. It basically routes each patterning track to a separate Volca sample track. To use it you would just need to change the outputs to your Volca sample midi port. It's based on the default Patterning midi out routing.

Great idea and a very nice share. Just about to hit the "Buy Now" button on the Volca Sample nearly 10 times now but every time I remember that it's inline with Korg's modern MIDI style: take over everything. Knew I could rely on MF but figured it'd cost me an evening. Thanks for sharing! My excuses are dwindling...
It's my favourite Volca so far. I didn't plan on getting them all, but you know how it goes!...the Beats beckons now. people are complaining on the Sample that each track has a separate midi channel but it means that you can control everything for each track independently, I can't see how else they could have done that, but I'm no midi guru.
Yeah, would just be nice to have the option of one or the other. As it is, you basically have to use something like MIDIFlow if you want to control the sounds from a single external device. In my case, I really wanted to hook it up to the drum channel of the BeatStepPro. Alas, the BSP will only allow you to set the channel for the entire drum channel, not per pad so yeah, your patch to the rescue!
If you could actually play pitches via MIDI, that'd be different—as it is, if you aim to use it primarily as a drum brain(me), it could have just as easily been on a single channel with a key per sample. Think the benefit of having it be on 10 separate channels is that you can use MIDI CCs to control each channel (and it probably uses that internally so that you can have 10 different motion recordings). Thing is, with [11 controllable CCs per part)[http://www.korg-datastorage.jp/Manual/volcasample_MIDIChart_E.pdf] X 10 parts, they could offer a custom map of each control within the standard set of 127 CCs all on the same channel. Again, as an option.
Sidebar sidebar: I have the VKeys and absolutely love it. I play it from my MIDI Controller (controls too) and, to me anyway, that really opens it up as a 'proper' synth. I dream occasionally about getting another 1 or 2 and a poly->mono switcher to stack them up as a full 3 voice analog (9 voice paraphonic!). The sound of the snare on the beats keeps me away from it. Otherwise it sounds completely boss to me. There are a few snare mods out there but I'm way too lazy to actually do them.
Sorry for the derailment! MIDIFLOW!
Nothing wrong with a bit of Volca derailment
there's a lot of charm in these little boxes.
I'm really glad they did give each track its own channel. I think I take having Midiflow and an iPad for granted as you can easily work with this setup (with a bit of work), but using hardware alone would make it more tricky yes. I'd quite like the option in Midiflow to group routings and expand and contract the groups, as it starts to get quite busy when you have lots of chains going on.... That and changing colour schemes to some dark ones
Here's a Midiflow preset which enables you to control the speed of the sample on each track of the Volca Sample via midi notes, thus changing the pitch of the sample over the keyboard so you can play the samples musically. My main use so far for the sample is a drum brain too, but to be able to change the pitch remotely gives it a nice edge....I've been using Navichord and step poly arp. Works really well and surprising easy to set up. However I'm not sure if the notes actually correspond to the correct midi note, maybe someone could modify it so it's more exact, so when using it go by ear
This one is for Navichord, just have to choose your midi channel within Navichord from 1 to 10 to play the corresponding track in the Sample. You can easily change this to another midi controller app which sends out midi notes.
