I have a Korg Triton LE and a Roland MKS-80 plus the MPG-80 programmer. I have the midi hooked up correctly but I cannot hear any of the sounds. The "midi message" light flashes on the MKS-80 when the keys are hit but no sound. I need to know what would be the default "basic" setup for the Roland and for the Korg. In other words, why am I not hearing anything? Please send me as many possible solutions as there may be and thank you all very much!

what are the outputs of the synths connected to?

The MKS-80 has an "upper & lower" outputs which go directly into the mixer. I "assume" that the upper and lower refer to left and right speakers jacks. The midi is ran like this: Midi out of keyboard to Midi in of programmer-Midi thru of the programmer to the Midi in of the MKS-80: then the 6 pin connector from module to programmer. This is how the manual shows and how I was told to do it. Is there some other way of preset that should be activated?

well,controller and synth must be on the same midi channel.....hey! you don't even have a cwa card......

Doesn't upper & lower refer to the split-keyboard function rather than left & right ? Just guessing really.

And yeah, what's the CWA connection here Mr One Post ?

If the upper and lower refer to a split keyboard, where do you plug them in? Has anyone ever used this thing? As far as I can tell, there both on MIDI 1. If I kept turning the knob on the programmer, would sound eventually just pop up? Let me know....

I had an mks & programmer for about a year, but once it was in the rack & operational I never touched it again... Didn't like it as much as my old Jupiter 6 even though it was supposedly better.

Get another device and plug it in using the exact same midi & audio cables you're using for the mks80. Does it work ?
