@md10kd I've had my MicroKorg for about 8 years. I know a little about general synthesis and what sound waves are which, and getting Microkorg to sound like a Gameboy involves basically working backwards getting something that sounds nice and lush and advanced to sound raw and primitive. But honestly, when it comes down to it...just mess around with shit and don't settle for using the stock sounds. The MicroKorg is capable of so much more than people give it credit.
I did everything you said on program number 8. It still doesn't sound right though. The notes last a lot longer and not as 8bit-sounding. Does it matter which program number i do it on? Because I really hate the sound of Program number 8. Please reply and help!
could this work with the microkorg xl? i have a choice to buy the microkorg or the xl version. I know the xl version is newer but it seems not to have the same of amount of features
Just letting you know, and no, I'm not being a dick or trolling or whatever, oscillator is pronounced "ah-SS-i-lay-ter", not "ahs-KI-lay-ter". Yes, that is spelled really weird, and I know that the syllable divisions are not normal, but I'm just letting you know that oscillator has a silent "C". The rest of the video is awesome, btw!
@korygreg96 Mm, I forgot to include that in the image table. After getting the right sound, the ARP A settings should be: 300, 1.24, 100 or 99, UP or DOWN, 1 and then ARP B should be: off, 0, On, 8. And then as far as the pattern, each square should be red.
this vid sucks, mine sounds nothing like yours at the end, even after slowing down this entire video from you going so damn fast, theres still settings that dont match that you couldnt have explained
Im not sure if you know this but there is another way to make 8-bit sound :) that actually sounds like it haha! Im pretty sure you do though, aside from this video
wait what's the name of the song for the second patch!
lol it sounds really sweet, i just couldn't grasp the name

Man, how long have you been playing the Microkorg for?! How did you figure all of this out! I just got mine and can only dream of doing this one day!
Do you have any tips or tricks of learning the microkorg?!

I'm really curious what your parameter is on for A:55. It's sweet. Please get back to me.

Turning knobs just for turning knobs sake, Like how you will turn a knob 3 diff times but tune it back to it's original spot.

Thanks so much for this video! It is pretty sweet. I can't believe it only has 66 views and no comments!
You go over the numbers a little fast though. Maybe it would be cool to have them in the description too.
