Anyone know how to get an A37 to work properly? I have mine for years and have never been able to get it to change patches on my other hardware - for example my Korg Triton patches are not selected how I want (even though I have disabled the GM setting in the Triton)

The A37 manual is so bad its not actually worth having - I know I am programming it wrong but I just can't figure out the correct sequence of data entry commands to make it talk to the synths so I've always ended up manually selecting the patches on them instead

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be very very grateful

thanks a million

According to the manual, the A-37 is capable of transmitting bank select and program change messages on any desired channel.

Please specifiy what particular values you want to send to the Triton, and how exactly you're trying to do it.

Hi Clemens

I just want to select specific patches or programs on the other synths such as the Triton but when I think I have programmed the message from the A37 nothing happens - I am trying to follow the patch change instructions in the manual but I'm doing something wrong or incompletely as the correct pitches do not come up on the other synth

do I have to program each one individually? what is the way to do that?

thanks

Andrew
