How to install the soundpack to your microKORG2

1. Update your microKORG2 to the latest version

Please download and install the latest version from the Korg website (https://www.korg.com/support/download/product/0/944/), and update your microKORG2.

2. Backup your microKORG2 sound data to your computer
   
   

   1. Connect the USB port on the microKORG2 to your computer with a USB cable.
   2. Press the power button while holding down the FUNCTION 1 button to start up in USB mass storage mode.
      The “microkorg2” USB drive is shown on your computer, which contains a “Programs” folder and a “Global” folder.
   3. Copy the program data (.mk2prog) and the global data (.mk2glob) from the respective folders to your computer to back up the data.

3. Add the soundpack data to your microKORG2
   
   

   1. Delete all .mk2prog files from the "Programs" folder on the “microkorg2” drive.
   2. Unzip the downloaded soundpack file.
   3. Copy all .mk2prog files from the "Programs" folder in the unzipped folder to the "Programs" folder on the “microkorg2” drive.
   4. Press the FUNCTION 5 button to exit USB mass storage mode.
      The microKORG2 restarts automatically.

NOTE: If you’re connected to a Mac, first eject the “microkorg2” USB drive on your Mac before pressing the FUNCTION 5 button to exit USB mass storage mode on your microKORG2.

NOTE: Some sounds might not load correctly if there are multiple .mk2prog files with the same first four characters (e.g., "C_A1") in the “Programs” folder. Instead of deleting all files in step 3, you can avoid this by deleting only the duplicate files.
