Strangely enough, I am smart enough to read the label on the original PSU and find one the same. It was the first thing I did, even before I foudn out I couldn;t get a genuine one in time, as they are one-third the price of a genuine replacement. Interestingly, the "genuine" one is really just ...

My microX 's power-supply has died and the local distributor is out of stock and cannot get me a new one until after our next [important] gig. I've searched everywhere for a replacement but I cannot for the life of me find the right plug for the microX 's unique socket. Does anyone know of a ...

I've never4 had any problems with the build quality of mine and it has had some pretty rough treatment. I loaned it to a touring band and it came back filthy and covered in scratches but everything still works perfectly, except... The PSU died on me last week and I cannot get a generic replacement ...

Mine is more than two years old now and I have had no problems with either. I think it is a matter of perception, rather than reality.

Try this thread, about a dozen below this one [if yo uhad bothered to look first].

I've always found the easiest thing to do is play some notes and turn the knob. That should tell you what it does.

We'll have to agree to disagree. A bug is a bug and this is a fairly major one in my opinion, which affects my workflow. I find it bizarre that more people aren't up in arms about this, I can only guess that most people aren't using the MicroX for sequencing - weird! Its not a bug, its just the way ...

No, because its not what I use the microX for. In any event, it seems like a simple thing to work around, you just need to adjust your perception to get past it. It seems to me that it is only a major problem because you choose to let it be, but if you just spent a few minutes programming your ...

That's all true, yet the fact that KORG chose to call them arpeggiators should tell you all you need to know.

I would think it unlikely, given the traditional role of the arpeggiator is to take input notes and transpose them.

I don't know that the microX would make a very good controller, so I'd suggest investing in one. Two octaves is really not quite enough a lot of the time. Is there a reason you want a FireBox ? If you are doing a lot of multi-channel recording, i.e. 6 or 8 channels at once, FireWire makes sense but ...

I'm not sure I see a problem, as long as the microX responds to MIDI notes with the arpeggiator playing. I thought you wanted to sequence the arp patterns to use elsewhere.
To answer you question, the firmware is upgradable but Korg don't seem to have any interest in adding extra functionality.

Its a fairly common situation with hardware instruments. e.g. Yamaha's CS1x didn't do it but the CS2x did. You can see the arp patterns and easily reproduce them, so I don't see it as a problem. CS1x arp patterns were not editable [so you couldn't see how they were constructed] and included filter ...

Not sure, I don't really use it at all, even though it was one of the reasons I was interested in it.

I used to have a similar problem with my Yamaha CS1x , it seems that the arpeggiator just wasn't connected to the external clock. The simple and obvious solution is to do your apreggio in your host and just send the MIDI notes across. Unlike the CS1x , where the arp patterns were complex presets, at ...
