PATCH 1–6
Virtual patch
With analog synthesizers such as modular synths, the inputs and outputs of each module (oscillator,
filter, amp, EG, LFO, and other controllers) are connected (“patched”) as desired using patch cords,
which gives users a great deal of freedom to create the sound.
The microKORG2 simulates this kind of patching “virtually” (i.e., without using physical patch cords),
so you can assign sources such as EG or LFO to the main parameters (destinations).
This instrument has six virtual patch routes that let you create more sophisticated sounds.
Each patch lets you select two modulation sources (using knobs 1 and 2), a parameter to be modu-
lated by the sources called Destination (knob 3), and you can specify the intensity of modulation
using the Intensity (knob 4). You can use various patchings to create a wide variety of changes in the
sound.
For example, if you set modulation Source 1 to “LFO2” and set modulation Destination to “CutOff”,
and adjust the depth of the effect using Intensity, LFO2 creates a cyclic change in tone (a “wah”
effect).

1. Source 1 [No Assign...Analog] (NRPN 4, 0...5)
2. Source 2 [No Assign...Analog] (NRPN 4, 16...21)
Selects the modulation source. For example, if you select Filter EG (“Flt EG”), the Filter EG is the mod-
ulation source.
You can set up to two modulation sources. The two sources are multiplied to generate a curve, which
controls the modulation. Set one of the sources to “NoAssign” if you only want to use a single source.
Tip: If you select the same modulation source for Source 1 and 2, this creates an exponential curve for
controlling the destination.
NoAssign: no source is assigned
Velocity (+): Modulation is applied according to the velocity value of 0–127 (velocity means how hard
you play the keys).
Velocity (+-): Modulation is applied in a negative or positive direction, with the velocity value of 64
as the base.
KbdTrk (+): Modulation is applied from note numbers 0 (C-1) through 127 (G8).
KbdTrk (+-): Modulation is applied in a negative or positive direction, with note number 60 (C4) as
the base.
