Ableton microKORG editor w/ bidirectional editing.

![screenshot](./screenshot.png)

## Usage

On the microKORG, set the value of `MIDI > LOCAL` to `EXTERNAL` or `AUTO`. The default value (`ON`) may cause glitches in the SysEx communication.

Use a quality MIDI interface, not a 5$ no-name one.

Cheap interfaces will scramble (if not filter entirely) SysEx and NRPN communication.

If you use a MIDI channel other than 1, modify the value of the `CHAN.` control in the lower right corner of the device. Ableton is smart enough to override the channel value for standard midi messages (e.g. when using the `Ext. Instrument` device) but will have no clue on how to do so for the proprietary SysEx messages.

## Next steps

- [ ] Vocoder support

- [ ] allow editing RO parameters (by forcing a complete SysEx dump onto the microKORG)

## Resources

SysEx parsing implemented using the [official microKORG MIDI implementation specs](http://i.korg.com/uploads/Support/MK1_633652915168960000.pdf).
