Hey there!

Thanks for everyone’s support so far!

So I had been using my Reface DX by Yahama as my MIDI keyboard until this point and to reduce cables at the back I thought I’d go with the Korg microKEY as it’s bus-powered but that doesn’t seem to work with all my patches. … both stock and downloaded alike!

am I missing something? It’s the Organelle M is that makes anything different…

Thanks

I think that Korg MicroKey only supports Mac & Windows OS.  
Scroll down to: System Requirements in the link below…

Thanks Chris… You are correct, I forget we are deal with Linux here.

Can you or anybody recommend anything? around the 37 keys sort of mark…49 is too big…
