can I run OTHER instruments through the microKORG? YES

[@thesteezbox]

when you add oscillator 2 into the mix, set it’s “osc mod” to rng and boom, ring modulation on your audio signal. sequencing the notes can make some insane sounds

[@bigbasil1908]

Thanks, I didn't know what rng meant on my microkorg s. I also didn't know what LFO means but a few minutes ago it became glaringly obvious in my head - Low Frequency Oscillator lol. I'll master the controls on the microkorg, I just need to get familiar with all the functions

[@mattleach2900]

You’re awesome! I’ve owned a micro Korg for years and I’m barely realizing the potential of the audio in feature. This video is a exactly what I needed to see. Very informative plus some asmr vibes. Lol. Thanks 🙏

[@timothytapsell]

Also try and plug midi out from Korg to the midi in of your fav synth rack and control the filter (and more) from those synth racks using the micro Korg filter knob. Life changing!

[@darkroomignite8264]

Your videos are always excellent and informative. Thank you for sharing your ideas and knowledge with us. Always a pleasure

[@tomahawkANDscopZ]

sampling is gonna get insane, could cut a youtube clip, put in on a loop in an app on your phone, run through the headphone jack in, and then connect to the mpc and you can track out with eq and other effects.

[@DisInfoWars]

You got it!

Love this video Daniel! That 505 sounds great processed via the Korg.

[@stabngab]

Love your style, and your videos. Learning a lot! thanks for your effort!

[@nessman69]

Your videos are fantastic. Thank you for unlocking some of the secrets of the microkorg.

[@rinna88]

I jumped in a bit late, but couldn't agree more !!!!!

[@ChromosomeSyndicate]

I use two aux sends from my mixer table to do this . Nice for the vocoder modulator / carrier ;)

[@DanielKastner]

What would you like to hear running through the microKORG? Have you used this feature? Will you use this feature?

[@eddypalogrande]

Daniel Kastner New to the channel and already know I'll be browsing your library of content, thanks! Do you know if it's possible to use another mic other than the included cheap goose neck?

[@DanielKastner]

Hi and thank you so much for checking in. It is absolutely possible to use a different mic. Just adapt to 1/4" or 1/8" and select the mic position on the switch for Audio In 1. You can go through Line in Audio 1 and 2, but you may need to boost the signal with something like a guitar pedal. Adapters can be found plenty cheap on Amazon, etc.

[@kenfusion]

Liked and subbed. Can you play vhs audio of old home movies through the mikrokorg ? I have the MK xl .

[@patrickcudd9312]

could I have this after my pedal board, guitar running through it, and use it as a pedal? if so, can i also use the vocoder feature? and use it as a keyboard? That sounds too good to be true

[@stk7778]

I have a Rolandnjdxi which i use for song ideas. Ive been thinking about buying microkorg and running the jdxi in it via midi (or now maybe using this technique that you are showing)

[@rotten77]

Is it possible to apply only FX for external audio without other synth features (e.g. filter, ...)? I would like to use Microkorg as a second synth and also as a FX for the first one.

[@Brother_TD]

Genius

[@ericcoligado8655]

Very helpful, thanks

[@davidh2550]

You might have to hit a key again to get those interesting sounds Btw thank you. You were the ONLY person who's instructions helped me sync my microkorg and it's software.. twas a frustrating doozy

[@hugnaba]

Can I record my own bass guitar tone on this unit, and use the unit as a good bass guitar unit, with a realistic bass tone ?

[@noon_GhuNNa]

Yay! So glad you made a video about this!

[@jameskohlermusic]

I've got the Alessis SR19 output hooked to the Line 2 input of the Micrkorg, and the Global setting and OSC 1 setting as specified but no ALessis coming through the Micro Keys. Can anyone help? Thanks

[@ibizaamigos]

if do this and have stereo out of the microkorg will the stereo sound be for both instruments or just the microkorg?

[@joeakajoe1]

Was just gonna ask u if u could apply an lfo to external audio but u answered it That's great, would sound better passing a bass or something thru the mk and adding a bit of lfo vibrato

[@phrankus2009]

Saving to my uKORG playlist. .. Thank You, Daniel.

[@ihalifaxx]

phrankus2009 can you share that playlist?

[@georgekempson670]

Very interesting, i've just bought a MicroKorg off ebay today, so obviously your channel is proving most informative. I did have a Korg MS2000R some years ago but stupidly i sold it, along with a few other modules that i since regretted selling, as you do. I bought the Minilogue last year and absolutely love that, it's the hands on manipulation that makes all the difference, rather than having to delve into numerous edit pages just to alter something. I also have a Korg Prophecy which is a nightmare to edit, same as the CS1x, although that isn't quite as bed. Was wondering if the external audio i send into the Minilogue can be kept rolling with the arpeggiator activated, as you have done with the Micro. As with this tutorial, you have to keep a key depressed to let audio through on the Minilogue, so maybe i'll check out if the aprpeggiator works in the same way. Nice one Daniel.

[@audiostudiocreativo4981]

hello! can the microkorg make a pacht whit one layer voice whit input signal and a layer 2 whit and internAl sound?

[@alphanumeric1529]

Thanks for the video, please increase your volume, can't hear you on my laptop at max volume.

[@orzanoap]

This is great. Would I be able to play a saxophone with a microphone through the microkorg?

[@BarryWarne]

wonderful all around

[@SonOfSonyard]

Hi, I’m having trouble independently manipulating the volume level of the microkorg and my volca beats.

[@SantanaSasquatch]

How have you hooked it up to your micro korg?

[@michaelharacopos6550]

Gonna do this with my Boss DR-220

[@punishedsquid2397]

I'm wanting to run a Roland VT-4 voice transformer and use the keys to plays it's effects. Would I use basically the same process of hooking it up to the micro korg?

[@naturezonesounds]

Sick! I figured this could work but wasnt exactly sure how. thank you!

[@fritzthecat6164]

Can I do that straight from an audio player with what cable,?

[@bigbasil1908]

With phono jacks, either the large ones {guitar cables) or the small ones.

[@ryderairlie-blundon377]

Can you pitch shift the input audio with the keys? I'd love to run a guitar loop in and play the incoming sound with the keys :p

[@VirginiaWolf88]

Cool video. Thank You!!!

What's that picture in the black frame on your wall.? It looks like some sort of treasure map. 😆

[@fritzthecat6164]

Can I plug an amp on the speakers output and trhu aux a music device?

[@bigbasil1908]

Use line out, not the headphones. Line out is low power, whilst headphones is higher power and might either damage your music device or cause bad audio clipping (distortion)

[@un11verse11]

Thank you Daniel! I just subscribed, quick question, an luck you can do a follow up syncing the tempo of the TR-505 to the microKorg?

[@DanielKastner]

Of course!! Thanks for tuning in!!

[@FutureAbe]

I wanna get the microkorg XL+, can similar things be achieved there?

[@domovoicings4031]

I've watched a few of your videos about using instruments through the microkorg but I keep having one issue off and on. Sometimes Ill fix it, save the patch and after the save I get it again. I definitely made sure to use latch, no attack and max release but I keep having to trigger the arpeggiator again because the volume gradually decreases. What am I missing?

[@bigbasil1908]

You have most likely done this already by now, but you could try running the drum machine through the vocoder condenser jack lol

[@BugzKiller]

Can I run my Beatbuddy drum pedal through the microkorg?

[@bigbasil1908]

yes

[@smicha1466]

Hey Daniel, I'm really enjoying your videos and learning a lot! I'm having some inconsistent results with running a drum machine through the microkorg...sometimes it works perfectly and other times not so much. I swear I'm doing the same thing to get started every time and I can't figure out what's going on. Most often the problem is that I can't make the original, unprocessed drum machine sound go away...its always audible even under the processed drum sound that comes when I play the keys or arpeggiate. Second, about half the time I hear the unprocessed drum but when I play the keys I still get the original synth tones. When this happens I'm unable to affect the drum sound with any of the knobs, it's just kinda there under the synth. Any help you can offer is appreciated. Thanks!

[@jotteff5100]

I have exactly the same problem.

[@simaojoseph]

[@Unknownapprenticetx]

[@bigbasil1908]

That beat loop sounds like 'Cry Little Sister' from the lost boys movie.

[@YourFreeBeats]

This is great stuff. Have you that plugKey yet?

[@freddyhaug9379]

Hmm I’m trying to get osc1 to make noise when I play my bass and press a note but no sound comes out. Maybe it’s my korg? Great video either way!

[@DanielKastner]

Try using the mixer to hear only what's in OSC1. Tweak until it's clear and then bring up OSC2!

[@belmontevito]

Even the Electribe 2 with audio input processed sound is not very good almost distorted

[@irok81]

Good video. Thanks man. Got another sub dude!

[@zel0521]

Can u run audio in to make a lofi sound? thanks

[@bigbasil1908]

Yes

[@suga4all]

Thanks for this tutorial. I am currently thinking about using the microkorg as a midi controler for other hardware synths, like an Arturia Keystep, but with 37 keys and a synth engine. What is your opinion on this? Do you believe the microkorg would actually qualify for that job?

[@Ulukitkan]

No

[@eddypalogrande]

Also, have you listened to Phoenix's Ti Amo album? Each track has great synths, definitely recommend 👌

[@theokingshango]

Can I do it simply? NO Can I do anything without drowning in menus? Can I play keys alongside external input? Can I apply more than one effect at the time? Can I do anything in real time while playing with one hand? Is there a sequencer?

[@DanielKastner]

It does all these things and is pretty darn powerful

[@adriannunez8868]

Including the minilogue xd and non-XD Which one is easier to maneuver? Or which one would you choose out of the 3, including the MK? I’m attempting to use a DJ controller, and beatpad/sampler with a synth master keyboard and I need help choosing a first synth. The wiring and different choices of instruments have been egging me on since I’m beginning musician

[@drewwolin3162]

yoooooo

[@Jesseweijer]

Does anybody understand how to put the jacks in where? I dont get it to work haha

[@bigbasil1908]

microphone socket. The one with the mic/line switch. Or plug it into the small vocoder condenser jack and have some extra fun

[@exonax4188]

My Korg is not changing the distortion of the sound of my other instrument , it isn’t changing the sound at all

[@gedwards165]

Did you figure it out? Trying to run a electric guitar with synth effects but not working like this video

[@exonax4188]

G Edwards kind of yes , I wasn’t using any midi cables so I hand to manually input a note on both ends of the signal

can u sample w microkorg?

[@bigbasil1908]

Apparently not, but you can run something else through it like a sampler, and change the audio. Just can't save it as a patch

[@theplaidseahorse]

I got excited because I thought you meant actual instruments. A pad with buttons is not an instrument, it's a tool, but definitely requires 0 music theory knowledge to operate. Therefore, not an instrument.

[@hazuinf]

I don't know where you've got that definition of instrument. You need no music theory knowledge to play a drumkit, would you say that's not an instrument?

[@bigbasil1908]

I know virtually no music theory. I play guitar and I like to improvise. I play keyboard and improvise. I've improvised on pianos plenty in the past all through my life. Music is something you feel. You don't need to know anything about music to play music, other than know how to sing in tune or to play a melody in tune. You must unlearn what you have learned..
