Tech Tips
microKORG - Sound Editor Software
Here is a great piece of software for organizing and editing the sounds in your microKORG Synthesizer/Vocoder. It’s a free download, so enjoy!
Using the microKORG Sound Editor, you will be able see all of the parameters and their values on the computer screen, so editing is quick and easy! The envelope parameters are displayed graphically, and you can edit them by clicking and dragging.
In addition to editing and creating new sounds, this software allows you to create libraries of individual patches, full loads of custom sounds, and even global settings.
The microKORG Sound Editor allows you to name each patch, even though the microKORG itself does not display these names. In fact, we've even included a duplicate of the factory preload data, including the patch names, to get you started.
The instructions are included in .pdf format with each download. The PC version will ask if you would like the English or Japanese manual (It defaults to English). The Mac OS 9 Version will Download both Manuals (English and Japanese). Obviously, if you don't need the Japanese version, you can just chuck it, or you can do a custom install and choose to NOT install the Japanese Manual.
Mac users can enjoy the "Randomize" feature, allowing the program to create new patches all on its own (with unpredictable results)!
Note: Korg does not assure operations on every model Macintosh computer. Regarding newer Intel Macs, operation was confirmed under Rosetta but this version does not run as native Universal Binary.
There are three downloads available:
MAC OS9: microKORGEditorMAC.hqx
MAC OSX: microKORGMac1_0_1.dmg
