microKxR is an innovative AU and VSTi plugin designed to seamlessly integrate your Korg microKorg synthesizer with your digital audio workstation (DAW). By allowing direct control and automation of almost every parameter on your hardware synth, microKxR transforms your microKorg into an extension of your DAW environment. The plugin automatically recalls and sends patch settings to your synthesizer when you open your projects, eliminating the need for manual loading or saving of patch data. Compatible with Mac AudioUnit and VSTi formats as well as PC VSTi (32 & 64-bit), microKxR enhances your workflow and keeps your hardware synth perfectly in sync with your session.

The plugin offers fast and intuitive control over your microKorg’s parameters, enabling you to edit patches, automate CC/NRPN values, and switch between timbres directly within your DAW. Its user interface responds to hardware knob and button movements, providing a fluid experience that mirrors software synthesizers. A built-in librarian helps you browse, organize, and manage patch banks, including loading official microKorg and MS2000 sysex patches. The software also features patch randomization, naming capabilities, and customizable skins, giving you creative flexibility and convenience for both live performance and studio production.

While microKxR does not transmit or generate audio—requiring the actual microKorg hardware to produce sound—it excels in managing and automating your synth’s settings within your DAW. It supports connecting multiple microKorg units simultaneously and includes free lifetime updates and support. The plugin simplifies complex patch management and streamlines your hardware integration, making it an essential tool for producers aiming to combine classic synth hardware with modern production workflows.
