Frequently Asked Questions
The [store] button is dimly lit. What does
this mean?
This means that you have unstored work in some other mode. For
example, if you are in Setups mode and [store] is dim, then the
current setup has been stored, but perhaps there is a program or
pattern with unstored changes. If your setup uses this program or
pattern, then you will even hear the changed version in your setup.
The dimly-lit button is a reminder to check the other modes before
turning your Micron off for the night.
How do I send the individual notes of a
pattern or rhythm through MIDI?
Press [config], scroll to the "Kbd: Local control" parameter, and
set it to "off + send patterns".
A note is stuck on! How do I make my
Micron turn it off?
Double-click the [programs] button, or any other round button.

How do I use the vocoder?

Hold down the [programs] button and press the key labeled
"sfx". At the start of the "sfx" category is a group of programs
that begin with an asterisk (for example, "* 101 Vocoder"). These
are special programs designed for processing external audio input.
Select one of these programs, plug a mic into the "audio in left"
jack, play the keyboard, and talk like a robot!
