Hi there,I am currently trying to set up my Sample to trigger my microkorg via midi and I can't get it to work.
I have tried with my MPC One and it triggers the korg fine on channel 2. When I connect the Sample under same settings I get nothing.
I have the Sample settings set to External midi, midi out on channel 2 and midi in set to all.
Any ideas anyone ?
Many thanks

Is Pad MIDI Out set to "Always"? Also, Bank A uses very low notes (C1 to D#2), so you may need to switch to Bank B or C.

Hi there yes I've tried with those settings and also with pad out set to empty with no success.
I've checked my midi cable with the Mpc one and it works fine and I'm starting to think the 3.5mm midi breakout cable I'm using could be the issue but can't check until new breakout adapters arrive.
Thank you for your reply

Hi guys problem solved. It was my 3.5mm midi adapter. I found another at home and it now works fine. Many thanks

I had this problem I had with my used Force & the wrong type of adapters I got online since mines didn't come with any, until some pointed it out & fixed everything. I hate this whole MIDI Type A & B crap!
