Скачать или смотреть Using MIDI Designer Pro to control Microkorg XL

The Microkorg XL is notoriously finicky to program, almost all editing is done in the Full Edit mode which is painstaking and doesn't allow you to change multiple things at once.

Coming up with ideas takes time due to the effort that you need to go to change simple things such as Oscillators, Portamento, Levels, LFO rates etc etc

I tried controlling parameters using an Arturia Beatstep MIDI controller but found the lack of visuals annoying and it just presented a new set of annoyances.

The best option I have found is using MIDI Designer Pro for iOS. Here you can create a range of knobs, sliders, buttons etc and get them to do an incredible wide range of things.

Here I demonstrate a setup I made in MIDI Designer Pro that makes creating patches on the Microkorg XL much much easier.

The audio was recorded directly into the camera and sounds a little distorted. Sorry! This is a demonstration of MIDI Designer Pro controlling the Microkorg XL and not a demo of the synth itself.
