Hey everyone, im new on here.
I have a microkorg, emx, kp3, es-1 and es-1 mk2.
The singer of a band that i like uses a microkorg and emx.
He has the two connected by a midi cable (i think)
When he is playing live though, he moves the knobs on the microkorg and it changes the synths sound on the emx.
How do i do this?
Also, if anyone could explain 'midi' to me, i would be very grateful
Please help me out guys
Cheers x
MICROKORG + EMX HELP

I know this is an old post, but I'm thinking maybe I could help someone else in your position if you've already figured it out.
If you want to control the EMX via the MK, you're going to need a midi cable (you should hopefully have a few if you have all that gear). You're going to want to set the EMX as the master and the MK as the slave. Attach your cable accordingly: EMX MIDI IN > microKORG MIDI OUT. (Quick question though, why would you want to limit yourself down to 4-5 knobs to control the EMX when it's made to have all those knobs for instant tweak-age?)
Keep in mind once you do this, you're pretty much just using the MK as a midi controller. You won't be able to play the MK's voices along to the EMX. I would suggest just simply tempo-syncing the two together to give you free range. If you have any additional questions about hooking up the midi cables/midi settings, the manuals are more than proficient in getting you started.
