 !

 

  

Each of the five Real-time control knobs send out MIDI control change numbers, so all of your performance moves can be 
recorded to an external MIDI sequencer and played back.

 

 

 

 

 Editing Programs using the EDIT SELECT knobs: 

 

1. 

Select a program you wish to edit using the steps outlined above. 

2. 

To edit one of the parameters in the 

EDIT SELECT 1

 area, turn the 

EDIT SELECT 1

 knob to the desired parameter 

section. 

3. 

Reading from left to right on the Edit Grid Matrix, find the parameter that you would like to change/adjust and turn the 
realtime control knob directly above it. You may have to turn the knob to the left or right until it “catches” (finds the original 
setting) the current value before you can change it. Once it “catches” the current value the LCD display will stop blinking. 

4. 

To edit one of the parameters in the 

EDIT SELECT 2

 area, turn the 

EDIT SELECT 2

 knob to the desired parameter and 

follow the steps outlined in step 3. 

5. 

To jump between 

EDIT SELECT 1

 and 

EDIT SELECT 2

SHIFT

 key and then press the 

SIDE A / 

SIDE B

 key.

PROGRAM

 

NUMBER

 key that is currently lit. You will see both LED 

1

 and 

2

 in the Edit Grid Matrix on at the same time. 

7. 

To store your edited program, follow the Storing an Edited Program procedure outlined below. 

 !

 

  

The Edit Knobs perform two different functions. When both of the EDIT SELECT LEDs are lit, the knobs are in the 
Performance Edit mode, and will perform their preset functions of Cutoff, Resonance, etc…  If only one of the LEDs is lit, 
then the Edit Knobs are in the Program Edit mode, and the knobs will change the value of the individual parameters. 

 

 !

 

  

All of the parameters of the microKORG are assigned to MIDI control change numbers and can also be edited or changed 
in realtime from an external MIDI sequencer or controller. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more info on Control Change 
Numbers.
