Korg microKORG
The microKORG's whole synth engine on knobs: both oscillators, the mixer and filter, both envelopes, both LFOs and the effects.
Six knobs are stepped with Korg's own labels. Oscillator one clicks through all eight waves from saw to audio in, oscillator two through its three, the oscillator modulation reads off, ring, sync and ring sync, and the filter gives you all four types.
One thing to check before you use it. The microKORG lets you reassign its MIDI control change numbers yourself, and this setup uses Korg's factory assignments. If you have changed any of them on the synth, those knobs will control the wrong thing. The fix is on the microKORG rather than in this file.
This is the original microKORG. The XL and XL+ use a different map.
Every CC and every value split comes from Korg's own assignment table.
Checked against the manufacturer's MIDI chart Every control matches the maker's own published MIDI implementation. It has not been played into the device itself.
Does this work with your Korg microKORG?
Open ROTO-SETUP, select the slot you want to overwrite, then File > Import.
Set this to match your gear and we will change it in the file before you download it.
