Those whatever thingies
Now I've managed to get Logic giving instructions to my Triton Extreme, my jazz teacher tells me I need to do a couple more things to get the whole shebang thingy set up.
Now I am no technical person when it comes to music production so I'm going to use layman's terms or whatever I feel like making up. I just want to control the way my music is produced, see?
So now I have tracks playing back on different channels from my Mac (Logic) to my keyboard, but sometimes they pick the wrong sounds. I don't want a bass drum's boom-boom-boom when I had originally programmed a cymbal's tik-tik-tik. Neither do I want a clarinet blasting away when I actually played chords meant for choir voices.
So my jazz teacher says, download some INI file from KORG that will tell my music software how to map the intended sound, back to the keyboard. (Update: Found the link!)
Sweet.
Next, I want to record all my tracks, both audio and MIDI, together. Seems I need two of those fat plugs, what do you call them, half inchers? They look like an inch long to me but apparently you measure them by width not length. And if they have a stripe across, it could mean it's mono or not mono (stereo) or whatever.
Those two fat plugs go into the back of my keyboard. The cables should connect to my M-Audio sound card, meaning they need another type of ending plug. Whatever. Those skinny pins with a ring around them. White and red ones.
Somebody should really write Music Production for Dummies. I need it.
