Does it have any of the factory patches that would have been found on such keyboards, or is it presented as just the instrument itself?

I've had the Legacy Collection M1 for a while, and finally managed to get my hands on a real one. Is there any way I can dump cards from that into the synth? I've already had to reset the factory sysex since it headed a new battery, but I haven't been able to find a way to use the multitude of ...

I believe the sysexes should all be saved in one folder location, so if you use a program like MidiOx you can send them that way. I don't have my PC on me right now to check. Plus I don't have an M1 to test with..

The two aren't completely compatible. You're better off opening the patches in the microkorg editor and copying parameters over manually to the VST.

Well it's all software, so you could technically call it a VST host. Your closest bet would be the Legacy VSTs or Korg Gadget app, both of which provide more function at lower price, and come on various hardware platforms.

That one might be a little tough. Though there are some digital waves that approximate organ sounds, there's only so far you can get with subtractive synthesis. The effects but should be easy though, it's just filter modulation linked to an LFO. Should be a square wave, just make sure the attack isn ...

I may poke around with this a bit and see what I can come up with. I have the original MK, but it shouldn't be hard to adjust some stuff for the XL.

My friend got a secondhand MK without checking on it, and ended up with the same problem. It's an easy replacement job, but finding the part was kinda tough. I recall one synth parts website having it for around $7, then I got it installed within an hour. Just make sure you remember how you got ...

It's called a Kensington lock. You may be able to find more info using that term.

Now for the oddest question of the day-- Can anyone conceive of any possible way to reverse-engineer patches off of old 'toy' Yamaha synths? I used to have a PSR-6 and miss the crappy neat sounds it could do. I guarantee my DX7 could match the sounds exactly, but I'd have no idea where to start with ...

Just noticed you had replied.... quite a while ago. I have the original microKORG, not the XL. This definitely works well as a diving-in point though.

Hi! I've been using my Mk for quite a while with my PC, running VSTs and such through Savihost. I was using it today with no problems, when I dropped my phone onto my Mk. It was only a few inches, and everything was fine. When I picked up my phone I saw 'Pct' on the screen, so I assumed the phone ...

It's a great keyboard, and I've seen pics of a band legitimately using one as a keytar.

I just powered up my Beats after it having been off for a long time, and I'm noticing that none of the drum sounds are correct; they're all fairly high-pitched, short, and seem to be clipping. Strangely, two of the patterns play perfectly but the others all have this strange sound problem. It does ...

I highly doubt they'd use a microKORG, since they're really big with classic analog gear; it's just that my primary synth is an MK. And yeah, I'm struggling with both recreating that sound and sync leads in general.
