Creating a midi controller for the microKorg
video upload by Dean Coyle
"I really do love the microkorg, I think the features it brings at the price point were amazing when it first was released. It gives you enough of a taste of important tools synthesizers use to create sounds. I think it could be a great beginner synth, but then again it is still used by LCD soundsystem to the Killers.
I set myself the challenge of creating a midi controller to help unlock features of the synth and make it more user friendly. My goal was to move away from the matrix tool and have a control for every possible control.
Ok on reflection this is turning a microkorg into a ms2000.
Though I do find the synth a lot more enjoyable to play and feel more in control of shaping the sound.
Normally I would cover more of the coding and electronics, but I don't think I can do Notes and Volts justice: https://www.youtube.com/c/NotesAndVolts
Overall it was a fun project, there are a couple more synths that need this treatment.... watch this space."
