Each rhythm's sounds, relative sound levels, left/right panning,
rhythmic patterns, time signature, duration, quantization, and
name can be edited. (We'll leave the editing for a later chapter.)

Explore the Setups

Press [setups] to explore this mode – the most sophisticated
mode of the Micron.
Setups combine the following elements:
● Multiple Programs.
● Multiple Patterns.
● Multiple Rhythms.
● Splits (like placing a rhythm on the left side of the keyboard, a
bass program in the middle, and a lead program up top).
● Latch on/off settings.
● Semitone transpositions.
● Level and left/right panning.
● Effects settings.
● Controller assignments.
Once you've mastered setups, you've mastered the Micron! In this
first session though, simply press the [setups] button, twirl the
control knob a few times, and listen to the various presets. Be sure
to play throughout the keyboard range to experience the various
splits, layers, and rhythm triggers. These presets will give you a
good sense for some of the different possibilities you can create on
your own.
