Korg microKorg Analog Modeled Synth/Vocoder

- Category: Keyboards and MIDI

-- Subcategory: Compact Synthesizers

Producer: Korg

Price: $399

Description:
State-of-the-art analog modeling and multi-band vocoding are finally available in a compact, portable instrument. With 37 keys and 128 user-rewritable programs, the microKORG Synthesizer/Vocoder is perfect for the performer, producer, computer musician, or beginner looking for an affordable synthesizer. The new microKORG delivers the quality sounds and features you expect from Korg at a price that will astound you.

Feature:
Only thing missing is a little gig bag. Although this thing can fit in a medium sized backback.

Quality:
For the low price, outstanding! However, it might be a good idea for Korg in the future to come out with a heftier "Pro-version" with aluminum body, better keys, etc... and charge a higher price. Once enough people get their hands on this little monster, Korg can easily sell a up-scale version to the well heeled purists.

Value:
Nothing comes close at this price.

Desirability:
Did I mention that I often sleep with this little thing?

Sound:
Amazing sound for such a small device. Comes with a good selection of preset synth sounds (128)....but once you learn to modify and create your own sounds using the built-in EDIT feature or Korg's free microkorg PC/Mac software you can download from Korg.com ..... watch out....you may become so absorbed in sound creation rapture, that your girl friend may leave you, you'll lose weight, and your family may wonder whether you should see a shrink because you sleep with "that little keyboard thing"....seriously.

Support:
Haven't needed any yet.
