Frequently Asked Questions

It’s designed for older Mellotron-style tape effects, but some modern pedals can work with careful gain staging and experimentation; compatibility isn't guaranteed.
The sounds are pre-programmed and not directly editable within the Micro. Importing custom samples is not supported.
It’s lighter and less nuanced than a fully weighted keyboard, which prioritizes portability over precise piano-like feel; it’s best suited for textural sounds and less demanding keyboard parts.
