Korg MICRO User Manual

Front panel knobs and buttons other than the controls listed above are 
assigned NRPN (Non Registered Parameter No.). NRPN messages can be 
used freely by any musical instrument manufacturer or model.
NRPN editing is performed using the following procedure.

1. Use NRPN MSB (CC#99) [Bn, 63, mm] and NRPN LSB (CC#98) [Bn, 62, 

rr] (n: channel, mm, rr: parameter no. upper and lower bytes) to select the 
parameter.

2. Use data entry MSB (CC#6) [Bn, 06, mm] (n: channel, mm: parameter 

value) to specify the value.

On the microKORG XL, only data entry MSB is used.

When arpeggiator settings are modified by the front panel buttons or knobs, 
the following NRPN messages are transmitted. When these NRPN mes-
sages are received, the corresponding arpeggiator settings will change 
accordingly. These messages are transmitted and received on the Global 
MIDI channel. For the correspondence between the values of the message 
and the values of the microKORG XL parameter, refer to the table.
