So Korg put out a firmware version update (v2) of the MicroKorg 2. It was a little painful to install because I learned that not all USB C cables are for data. Some are made just to charge phones. You cannot tell the difference by looking at them. After finding the right USB C cable, I finally connected the keyboard to my computer and the version update applied itself.

This version update added some really amazing stuff to the looper function and allows for third party plug-ins for effects. I used a third party looping effect on this one. It repeats what you play as if it is using two looped recorders, but one of the loops is smaller, so what you play is constantly changing. I made some background loop and then played on top. At one point the loop falls apart because I was messing with the settings but I just played over top of it. It makes a kind of “blap!” or “blurp!” sound that ping-pongs between the speakers. I just let it in there.

AS ALWAYS, SOUNDS BETTER IN HEADPHONES.
