Newbie with two midi problems!

mirkorn

Hi everybody!
Can I explain my problems with the kx drivers? I'll try.

I have the latest drivers installed on my win2000 with SBLive Value pc.
I use Sonar3 for recording music.

- I noticed that when I play midi sounds (i.e. from a soundfont) I hear a constant chorus/flanger type effect even if there is no actual fx assigned on my midi synth. Not even on the kx mixer (reverb and chorus turned off). What should I do?

- The above problem may lead to another one: I've made a simple midi track with a drum pattern on Sonar3. I want to convert it to audio. I arm the audio track for recording with "Stereo KX ASIO KX in 00" and mute all the others. So I use "mixer stereo" on the AC97 panel to record "what you hear". Well the only way to have it recorded is to turn on the gain sliders on AC97, resulting in a very bad recording (sounds like very treble high tones up and high frequency). So what is the correct kx mixer config to record "what you hear" on an audio track? Is there any known issue about this?

Sorry for my long thread but it's driving me nuts!
Any help will be appreciated.

in the record window mute everything bar the "synth" fader

I don't quite get what you mean sorry. What is that I have to do?

in the kX mixer, find the record window (speaker and rec circle)
to record the soundfonts you need to have the synth fader (speaker and music note) up and untmuted.
everything else you can mute

Thanks for the tip. I will try.
Meanwhile I manage to convert a midi track to an audio track using a dxi plugin (battery) for drums and then using the "bounce to tracks.." function.
Thanks again.

the easiest way is to follow the soundfont section in the kX Getting Started Guide
