Using the Microkorg as a guitar amp

Thats the result when using audio in as the oscillator 1 wave and tweaking parameters such as distortion, effects delay... Not such a bad amp.

I have a razorback a guitar amp and a microkorg, do I need anything else?

[hdebbache2000]

@cjsinister6 You need the synth, the guitar, and whatever you use to listen to your synth. thats all you need, even the amp is not used. I didn't use any amp in this video

The microkorg doesn't have an internal speaker

[hdebbache2000]

@Haggisman0 This was connected to the Mic jack of my laptop..

so, let me see if i got it...

you are bassicaly using the microkorg as a guitar pedal? (a multi effect one of course)

and if that's the way you're using it, that doesn't brake the microkorg or something? in any way? because that is not its "normal" function i supose.

sorry for the ignorant question, but i'm planning to buy one of those and i play guitar, so that function would be very usefull.

great sound man!

[hdebbache2000]

@nicojaf No I'm using it as an amp! There is absolutely nothing else here, just the guitar and the korg. So it does the amplification, effects, and whatever else you do with it. I have no idea if it breaks anything in it, I'm basically as ignorant or maybe more than you are, but it seems to me that it would maybe have fucked an analog synth, I doubt about the fuck-ability of a digital synth. All that to say I dont know

Just run an instrument cable into the audio 2 input. From there turn the edit select 1 knob to osc 1 and set the value to aud. Then set the 2nd and 3rd knobs to zero values. Push down a few keys and play the guitar. From there you can just edit the signal like a normal sound on the microkorg. Enjoy!

[manifatzigula]

just read the manual.....there is nothing in a digital synth you could break :/

[nichobert]

Page 21 in the manual tells you how to do this. The page under the Osc 1 section about the "AUD" source for the first oscillator.

I haven't messed with it much, it'd be cooler if you didn't have to hold a key down so you could use the 2nd oscillator to modulate the tone from your guitar. i guess you may still be able to do that, but the key would be playing while you did it

@1qways i don't see him trying to learn to play synth, i just see him using the synth as a guitar pedal. god forbid someone want their guitar to sound the way they want their guitar to sound while learning.

[nichobert]

@crza814 Not really that hard, there are instructions on page 21 of the microkorg book. Basically, unplug and turn off everything. Then turn the Line 2 down to Minimum, then plug it guitar into line 2, then turn it on. Then turn edit select knob 1 to Osc 1, turn the first/'Cutoff' knob all the way to the right where it says AUD, turn 2nd and 3rd knobs to left til they say 0. Hold some keys down, play guitar.

It's not operating as an amp. An amplifier is what makes the sound loud. You're just using it as a guitar synth. Which is pretty effin cool.

[1qways]

Please, try to learn at least one instrument...you can't play guitar nor synth...please stop...

[cjsinister6]

@cjsinister6 I plug my amp into the synth and synth into the guitar I get a an audio signal (green LED) but nothing is coming from the guitar. I set all the settings correctly on the microkorg.

[cjsinister6]

@hdebbache2000 I did everything I'm supposed to on the synth and I get the audio signal green LED to light up but my guitar doens't make any sound, got the amp plugged into the korg and the guitar into the korg what am I doing wrong???

[crza814]

Please please someone w/ knowledge of how to do this(preferably the person who made this ).give me a detailed description if how this is done. All parts needed. I just bought my MK and I have an ibanez w/ practice amp(ig/3?0 starter kit I believe) and a metal muff pedal. Message me!
