Korg microKorg Editor Intro
Korg microKorg Editor & Librarian is designed to control your Korg microKorg right from your DAW. With our Editor, you can work with your Korg microKorg by the same way you use your virtual instrument plug-ins. Our Editor will recall your patch settings when you open your project and the data will be sent to your microKorg automatically once you open your project. Your synthesizer is always synchronized with your session! The only thing you need to worry, is that you power-up your synthesizer.
Faster workflow
Korg microKorg Editor brings hardware integration to modern Digital Audio Workstation environments. Korg microKorg Editor & Librarian plug-in works seamlessly with your Korg microKorg synthesizer.
It is now much faster to scroll thru sounds and make tweaks within your DAW. Automate parameters with real hardware control names. The best part is, our Editor saves all the data within the project and when you reopen the project, all of the used data gets sent to your hardware, automatically! No more waiting with loading or transferring hardware data. Save time – welcome Total Recall.
- Control your Korg microKorg directly from your DAW.
- Automate almost every parameter directly from your DAW.
- No need to remember CC’s for each knobs / per synthesizer. Goodbye sticky notes!
- Load, Edit and Store patches into hardware memory or in your HDD personal library.
- Randomize upper or lower layer or both!
- Store any Korg microKorg / MS2000 compatible soundset in your HDD library folder and browse it from our editor.
- Send banks or individual patches from librarian to hardware.
- Request banks or individual patches from hardware to librarian.
- Total Recall: When you reopen your project, all of the data used in it, will be sent to the hardware, automatically!
Check Specifications tab for more info about the Editor capabilities.
Realistic Bi-directional Graphical User Interface
Our graphical user interface design has been made to make everything from sound design to patch editing as smooth as possible. When you move a slider, push a button or twist a knob in your hardware, software will respond at appropriate layer/part.
Use sections locks with Randomizer function to create complex sounds while keeping the best settings untouched.
Save time, as all the edits are stored within the project, so once the project is opened up again, Total Recall will send the data to hardware automatically.
Patch data management
Korg microKorg Editor comes with ability to control Timbre 1 or Timbre 2 from the single plug-in instance. This means, you can have a lush saw pad on Timbre 1 and a guitar like lead on Timbre 2 if you wish.
You can send patches from Patch Librarian to your selected Layer:
- Click Timbre 1 on TIMBRE SELECT section and double click a patch on the librarian to send the patch to the selected layer.
- Click Timbre 2 on TIMBRE SELECT section to send another patch for timbre 2, simple as that!
Korg microKorg Editor and Automation
With FULL version of Korg microKorg Editor & Librarian, you can automate almost every parameter right from your DAW without having to remember all of the MIDI CC’s.This can be done easily by setting your DAW automation to Write or Latch mode and then turning the knob from the hardware or the plug-in.
Some of the SysEx parameters are not available due to a lot bandwidth taken from the MIDI cable.
Check DAW Config Guides tab below to learn more about DAW Automation.

Reviews
Excellent plugins
Great product! New life for an old synth.
I really like this software. Makes using/managing my microkorg s really easy. A bit of a learning but once you get it's pretty easy to use. Also cool since the official microkorg editor is not available for Catalina and above so this is a more modern useful tool for managing your sounds. Keep up the good work guys.
This program works brilliantly - it is a great step forward to be able to access all parameters f the synth from within my DAW!
The main reasons why I'm satisfied: 1) The MicroKxR lets me get a lot more out of my synth than the synth itself 2) It has turned the microKorg into a surprisingly easy synth to program 3) So far, I've only experienced minor glitches that I can live with should they never be fixed 4) I'm not experiencing the ongoing horrible feedback issue that's plaguing the SN2X (as of this writing) I definitely recommend buying it, but be sure to try it out extensively before you purchase it: overall, I found the setup instructions for the plug-ins to be incomplete and lacking in clarity and the technical support is non-existent despite its claim for calls to be answered within 48 hours (as of this writing). Nonetheless, it made me want to bring the microKorg back into my rig.
Really handy little plugin - nice work! 🙂
With continuous support and development, Korg microKorg Editor & Librarian is the best investment for your Korg microKorg.

I’m giving 2 star as a constructive criticism, the software is really buggy, the sysex transmission is clumsy, octave shift does not work and voice transpose and other knobs activate vibrato. Is such a shame because the interface is amazing, not just on a looking point of view, but is really well studied. Hopefully next updates will make this more usable

It’s a great plugin for controlling your microkorg. What I love the most is ‘I can stay in the sweet spot’ when turning knobs to find the right sound, the automatic recall with the session is really cool, and always in sync ! Some of the usefull plugins ever !

really well working; together with my fixed audio + midi routing in my daw template, this software really makes my Microkorg feel like a native Plugin, but with the advantages of direct hardware control!
