Micromonsta 2

Does anyone know if I could use the two onboard MM2 wavetables inside the Korg Multi/poly?

Is there any way to do a bulk back up or presets or do you always have to back up one preset at a time?

Also, has anyone had any joy with The Ant 2 MM2 editor? I can’t seem to get it to sync with my MM2 over USB :frowning:

@PeteRabb did you try this?

I tried the ant a couple years ago both the standalone and the vst and it worked, good editor. You have to fiddle with the midi channels settings

I just wrote a web-based editor/librarian for the Micromonsta 2. You can use it to organize and back up your presets and to create new sounds in a comfortable UI. It’s a non-commercial side project (free to use, no ads).

I created a full NRPN controller list for the MM2. You can download it here (PDF).

Now you’re talking!!! I think a few of us have been waiting for this

Many thanks @rwdmr !
Does that mean that MM2 is fully controllable via NRPN? IIANM CCs have a lot of gaps.

Not sure about how it is critical, but I can see this error

Oh man, this is the missing piece I was looking for! Thanks alot! Can’t wait to give it a go and send some money towards you :heart_eyes:

All program/sound parameters are controllable via NRPN. You can target slot A or B by using the corresponding MIDI channel (base channel for A, base +1 for B). From what I found, system and combi parameters are not remote controllable.

Thanks for the bug report! It’s not critical, but I’ll have a look anyway.

Wow, I’ve been waiting some years for a tool like this. The UI is self-explanatory and looks fantastic. Thank you so much!

Excellent tool and excellent timing, as I had this month planned for updating and sorting my MM2, and glad I waited. I’ve manually gone through and category tagged all factory, user-contributed and publicly accessible presets and wanted to share the syx files thanks to how efficient the process was. As this is my first post, I’m not able to upload/attach them here, so I’ve uploaded them elsewhere:

categoryABC.MM2-BANK.syx - https://files.catbox.moe/xfz1hj.syx
categoryABC_but_sfx_arp.MM2-BANK.syx - https://files.catbox.moe/eeiqvl.syx

The first contains 582 patches sorted by Category for custom selection, while the second has been trimmed down to 500 with the removal of sfx and arp patches to fit as-is on the MM2.

Anyone know the guy who subscribed to the newsletter instead of the waiting list? I know the guy :smiley:

Hi @rwdmr!
I’ve spent several hours with the Editor, and I have to say — it’s really amazing. :clap:

I found a bug:

“Use the +/- keys to increment/decrement the value by 1 while hovering over a knob”

It works only for “-”. “+” is not working.
MacOs 15.3.2 / Chrome Version 139.0.7258.67

I also have a feature request:

Could you please add a Copy feature to simplify the sound design workflow? :slightly_smiling_face:

Description

The entire current program could be copied to another program.

Individual parameter blocks (Oscillators, LFOs, Envelopes, Modulation Matrices, etc.) could be copied to another similar parameter block in the current program or another program.

By “copying”, I mean copying the parameters and syncing them with the MicroMonsta2.

For example

Oscillator1 parameters could be copied (with some limitations for Osc1) to

  • Current Program
    • Oscillator2
    • Oscillator3
  • Another Program
    • Oscillator1
    • Oscillator2
    • Oscillator3

Similarly for Oscillator2 and 3, LFOs, Envelopes, etc.

Filter, Operators, Effects, etc could be copied from the current program to another program.

This can be arranged, for example, by adding a combobox or context menu button to the parameter block title. The user clicks it and selects the copy destination.

I think this would be really neat during “sound design evenings”.

Thanks in advance!

@igors48 Thanks for your feedback and support!

The bug you mention regarding the +/- keys I wasn’t able to replicate. On my Mac (and also on Windows, Linux) with both Chrome and Firefox the shortcuts work as expected. You need to click somewhere in the browser view (to set the keyboard focus) before using the keys. Maybe you have an extension installed that interferes with those keys?

Great feature suggestion! I do have plans for a clipboard/preset feature which will enable block-wise reuse/copy/paste. Not sure yet when it lands but stay tuned for it!

@rwdmr “+” does work when I hold Shift key (Shift + “+”). Interesting.
Unfortunately, Shift + “-” doesn’t work. :slightly_smiling_face:

I can try to help you with changes. I have some JS expirience (2013 → 2020).
