Korg Forums

Hi all. Just added the microkorg to the arsenal. I have the electribe's arp and sequencer controlling the Microkorg. I also bring the MK audio back in thru the Electribes Comb audio so I can modulate the synth. (comes in with a little static, tho.)

Question: how can you make the program on the microkorg automatically synch to the pattern number on the electribe, (when I change the pattern on the master electribe, the slave microkorg will select the determined program).

It seems based on the manuals that this should be possible but I can not figure how to get the MK to keep the correct program/pattern sync. (Write protect turned off)

Any help would be amazing. Thanks guys.

The first thing i would check is the midi filter on the 'tribe. Global, shift + 15 (Midi utility) - midi filter. The zero's & x's have to be configured to your preference.
As for the MK, i don't have one but if there are any settings of that nature ,i suggest you check those too.

Good luck.

I'm pretty sure its possible. I never tend to use program changes between gear tho.

only real downside to this is having to either set up your micro patches OR your electribe patterns to correspond to each other accordingly... and if you use one MK patch for multiple electribe patterns you have to make duplicates of that patch in the slots on the MK.

I can try see if I can get it to work this weekend but you should be able to figure it out yourself.


electribe: midi filter PCEN: OXXO if you just want prog change and note.

I think there is a midi filter on the MK so just check that program changes are on... i think it should all be on as default.
