Common microKORG2 MBK/MWH Questions
How do I connect the microKORG2 to my computer for MIDI control and recording?
Connect the microKORG2 to your computer via USB-C. Then, in your DAW, select the microKORG2 as both the MIDI input and output device to enable bidirectional communication for both note data and parameter control.
How do I save my custom sound designs (kits) and patterns on the microKORG2?
To save a Kit, press the 'WRITE' button, select a memory location using the VALUE knob, and press 'ENTER'. To save a sequence pattern, press the 'REC' button on the sequencer, record your pattern, then press 'WRITE' and follow the same save procedure as with a Kit.
How do I navigate the different synth engines and access the more advanced modulation options?
Use the OSC TYPE selector knob to choose between the available synth engines (Virtual Analog, Digital, etc.). Deeper modulation options, like assigning the mod wheel or aftertouch, are accessed by pressing the 'EDIT SELECT' button and navigating to the MOD section on the OLED screen.
My microKORG2 isn't making any sound, even though it's powered on and I'm pressing keys. What could be the problem?
First, check that the volume knob is turned up and that headphones aren't plugged in (muting the main outputs). If that's not it, verify that the global MIDI channel is set correctly to match your DAW's MIDI output channel in the system settings, accessible via the 'SHIFT' + 'GLOBAL' buttons.
What is the 'Harmonic Layering' feature on the microKORG2 and how do I use it?
The Harmonic Layering feature allows you to stack multiple waveforms with different pitch and detune settings to create complex sounds. Access this by selecting 'Harmonic' as the oscillator type, and then use the edit parameters to adjust the level, pitch, and detune of each individual harmonic layer on the OLED screen.
