A Program stores all settings, such as the arpeggiator, effects, and timbre. It also stores any vocoder or microphone settings that have been adjusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each Program Genre has two banks of eight program presets. To change the Program Genre, use the large encoder to the left of the display. You can then select the Program by pressing one of the eight PROGRAM NUMBER<\/strong> buttons below. Press the BANK <\/strong>button to access the additional presets in the selected Genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBank 4 of each Genre is an INIT (initialized\/blank) Program.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nCreate a Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n TIP: <\/strong>If you see tabs at the top of the display, the selected function has multiple menus. If multiple options are underneath a button, additional settings are assigned to that button. For example, Voice<\/em>, Pitch<\/em>, and Assign<\/em> are all assigned to the first TIMBRE EDIT <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Korg microKORG 2 has fantastic presets that are fully editable and available. Working with these is a terrific way to navigate through and become familiar with the controls. In this guide, let\u2019s create a basic Program with a microphone effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the Program Select <\/em>encoder to select any Genre, then press the BANK <\/strong>button until the USER <\/em>bank is highlighted. You will also see Init Program <\/em>on the screen.<\/li>Use the six TIMBRE EDIT <\/strong>buttons and turn the five Edit Control<\/strong>knobs to change the Program\u2019s tone.<\/li>You can create two tones per Program. Press the TIMBRE <\/strong>button to switch between Timbre 1 and Timbre 2.<\/li>Press and hold the vocal ON\/OFF <\/strong>button. Choose Vocoder, Hard Tune, or Harmonizer to add vocal effects.<\/li>You can layer the Hard Tune and Harmonizer effects together, but the Vocoder can only be used independently.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nAdjusting microphone settings<\/h4>\n\n\n\nConnect the microphone to the microKORG 2, then turn the gain up approximately halfway.<\/li> Press the GLOBAL EDIT <\/strong>button until you\u2019ve entered the Mic<\/em> menu.<\/li>Begin singing or speaking at performance level. Adjust any settings using the Edit Control<\/strong> knobs. Use the fifth knob to send the microphone to a specific MIDI channel.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nSaving Programs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve created a sound you\u2019d like to use, you can save it to an INIT slot. Alternatively, you can overwrite a factory preset. If you save Programs to INIT slots, you may find it easier to save them by genre. For example, if you have a bass sound you would frequently use on funk songs, save it as an INIT Program in the Funk\/Soul genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Press the F4 (WRITE)<\/strong> button, use PROGRAM SELECT to choose a genre, and use the BANK <\/strong>and PROGRAM NUMBER <\/strong>buttons to select the save location.<\/li>Use the F1 (< CUR) <\/strong>and F2 (> CUR) <\/strong>to move the cursor; use the EDIT CONTROL 1\u20134 <\/strong>knobs to choose the character; and use the EDIT CONTROL 5 <\/strong>knob to select the background color.<\/li>After you\u2019ve named your Program, press the F4 (EXECUTE)<\/strong> button to save it.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1785090,"template":"","categories":[142726],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[533254,491233],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
