Korg Forums

hello..is there any microkorg and r3 external links which teaches us how to make full use of these two beast..tutorials and tips..i have been searching everywhere but no luck..all you help would be much appreciated..thanks

I only see Yahoo groups and sites for trading patches.

I would dive in to the soft editor and program these two like normal synths. I don't think there is anything super-cryptic about them that needs more than experimentation and practice.

When I checkout a synth or attempt to gain an understanding, I usually start with the features or manual. I learn the basics first (usually the reasons why I bought it) and then explore further.

You can reverse engineer a patch or compare two different patches.
Or look at one basic patch and change one setting at a time and seeing the effect on the sound and making mental notes.

Also I compare what I already have and know with the new toy. Mostly it's trying to figure out how to do the simple stuff I usually do with all my gear. Basic routing ADSR and such.

thanks a bunch

I'll check that yahoo group... I'm a beginner and I think that the sound editor of the microkorg will help out a lot...

Might be a bit late for replying, but you might find the microKorg block diagrams on my web site useful in showing how all the controls and functions are connected.
I found everything was too spread-out in the manual, so drew the diagrams to show the complete unit but with enough detail to show every possible control. I even learnt a few new things about the LFO routing which I didn't realise before.
The diagrams are called SyDs ('synthesizer diagrams' - as I intend doing the same trick with other synths when I've got more time!), and they are available for free download in the Freebies section on www.philizound.co.uk
Hope this helps.
Phil.
