Korg MICRO User Manual

Connect an audio signal from your external device to the 
input, and adjust the AUDIO IN [LEVEL] knob as high as 
possible without allowing the “CLIP” indicator to appear in 
the display.

Play the keyboard while listening to the sound.

Edit the filter, amp, EG, LFO, and effect settings to modify 
the sound.

Pitch-related parameters will not affect the sound from the AUDIO IN 
jack.

The microKORG XL’s arpeggiator provides six arpeggio types. You can 
adjust the duration (gate time) and the spacing of the notes generated by 
the arpeggiator. These settings are located in the ARP page. There’s also a 
“step arpeggiator” function that lets you specify the note on/off status for 
each of up to eight steps, giving you a wide range of performance possibili-
ties.

For a program that uses two timbres, you can select the timbre(s) that will 
be played by the arpeggiator.
This is specified by the ARP page “ASSIGN” parameter. You can make the 
arpeggiator play both timbres, or just one of them.

You can synchronize the frequency of LFO1 or LFO2 to the arpeggio 
tempo. This lets you apply modulation that’s synchronized with the tempo. 
This also gives you the ability to specify an effect’s delay time as a multiple 
of the tempo so that the delay time will follow even if you change the arpeg-
gio tempo.
You can also synchronize the microKORG XL’s arpeggiator to an external 
MIDI sequencer, so that the LFO1/2 frequency or the delay time will be con-
trolled from your external sequencer.

You can modify the arpeggio by turning each arpeggio step on/off. This is 
called the “step arpeggiator” function.

After selecting Full Edit mode, use knob [1] to select the 
ARP.STEP page.

Use knob [2] to select the arpeggiator step.
