Korg MICRO User Manual

To make your performance more expressive, you can modify the sounds of 
the microKORG XL by using the [1]–[3] knobs, the [PITCH] wheel, the 
[MOD] wheel, and by how you play the keyboard. Try out various ways to 
play each program you select.

The effect will be applied when you move the 
wheel away from or toward yourself; there will be 
no effect when the wheel is in the center. This 
wheel is normally used as a pitch bender; moving 
the wheel away from yourself will raise the pitch, 
and moving it toward yourself will lower the pitch.

The effect will apply when you move the wheel away from yourself; there 
will be no effect when the wheel is all the way toward yourself. This wheel is 
typically used to vary the vibrato depth or to modify the tone by changing 
the cutoff frequency.

You can use the [PITCH] and [MOD] wheels as virtual patch sources. 
They can be used to control a wide variety of effects in addition to those 
described above (J p. 49).

The effect will vary depending on the amount of force that you play the keys 
with. Normally, the force of your strike will affect the tone or volume.

The microKORG XL’s keyboard does not support aftertouch.

The effect will vary according to the keyboard position (higher or lower 
notes) that you’re playing in. Normally, keyboard tracking is assigned to 
make the sound brighter as you play upward on the keyboard, or to pro-
duce differences in the volume of higher and lower notes (J p. 44).

You can use keyboard tracking and velocity as virtual patch sources.
