Is the Korg microKONTROL a synthesizer or a MIDI controller?

Can the Korg microKONTROL work with a modern computer?
Korg marks the microKONTROL as discontinued, and the original manual lists Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.2 or later as its supported computer systems. It may still work through MIDI, but current USB driver support must be checked.
Can the Korg microKONTROL run without its AC adapter?
Yes. Korg specifies USB bus power and support for six AA batteries, as well as the included AC adapter. The manual gives an approximate battery life of 6 hours with alkaline batteries.
