💡 How to configure the Korg Volca FM2 MIDI Editor▼

To control your Korg Volca FM2 from your web browser, connect your synth to your computer using a USB cable or a dedicated USB-to-MIDI interface.

Open the MIDI Settings panel above, set the Output Port to your connected Volca FM2 device, and select the correct MIDI channel (default is channel 1). Once configured, you can map the MIDI CC layout sliders, draw automated parameter curves, and edit patches in real-time without installing any software.

ℹ️ How MIDI CC Sync Works

MIDI CC is a one-way push protocol. Synthesizers cannot be queried dynamically to read their current parameter values. To synchronize these sliders, select your synthesizer's MIDI Input Port above. When you physically tweak knobs on your synth, the slider positions will instantly update on-screen to match.

MIDI Troubleshooting

🚨 Cannot control FM Operators over USB MIDI

The Volca FM2 uses 3.5mm TRS MIDI Type-A input. Ensure your USB-to-MIDI adapter is connected to the MIDI IN jack and transmitting on the matching MIDI Channel.
