Published guides

Deep device coverage

9 guides

Korg / Synthesizer

Prophecy

Original hardware keyboard, not the KORG Collection software instrument.

Korg / Polyphonic analogue synthesizer

minilogue

Original minilogue hardware. This guide does not cover the minilogue xd, module, bass or inverted editions.

Roland / Rhythm performer

TR-8S

TR-8S documentation reviewed for system program version 3.00 or later. Confirm your unit’s version before relying on a menu item.

Akai Professional / Music production center

MPC500

Original MPC500 hardware. MIDI detail is deliberately limited here because Akai’s currently accessible official quick-start guide does not replace the full Operator’s Manual.

Roland / Creative sampler and effector

SP-404MKII

SP-404MKII only. MIDI guidance is scoped to Roland’s current support instructions and Reference Manual v4.04; it does not apply to SP-404SX, SP-404A or earlier SP models.

Arturia / Hybrid digital-analogue synthesizer

MicroFreak

MicroFreak hardware, using User Manual 5.0.1. Vocoder-only functions are outside this MIDI reference; firmware-sensitive features must be checked against the installed version.

Korg / Virtual analogue synthesizer and vocoder

microKORG (2002)

Original microKORG (2002) hardware only. It does not cover microKORG S or microKORG2.

Korg / Polyphonic analogue synthesizer

minilogue xd

minilogue xd behavior shared by the documented family. Keep it separate from the original minilogue; physical keyboard/module differences are not generalized here.

Elektron / Eight-voice digital drum machine and sampler

Digitakt (original)

Original Digitakt only, User Manual OS 1.51. It does not cover Digitakt II; version-sensitive behavior must be checked against the installed OS.

The wider launch catalogue is being researched. Devices are added only when the page can provide reliable help.

Coming next

Research roadmap

  • Elektron Digitone — source packet needs current-version confirmation before a deep hub can be published.
  • Digitakt II and later intake candidates — held until their official source packets clear the same publication gate.

This is a research queue, not a promise of coverage or a claim about device behavior.
