OVERALL OPINION

everything was pretty much says it, so I'm just an overall opinion on this machine that I have gained over the past few days ...
it's been a while since I had not touched a product from Korg, a little confusing at first but it soon returns, although I must admit .. sometimes it is very long to get a sound that makes you trip, but when you got time you forget the past ..
at first and the first test, I will repeat with respect to my colleagues, but you will not feel nothing transcendent that emanates from this synth, short the next day I decide to seriously consider me, I get an option card, I begin to tinker and there I begin to understand the enthusiasm that surrounds the first Korg ... slap! I can assure you that all opinions on the sound capabilities of this UFO were confirmed and despite that I am just babbling.
It may sound very conventional as well sounds tortured and even disturbing, and this is the whole point of this machine. If you want to make sounds dirty and the Basic Channel dub is not necessarily what you need but if you want to take for Aphex Twin, Autechre, Amon Tobin, Thomas Brinkmann, Jan Hammer for the more conventional it will more effectively in its own juice, but in my mind it should be understood that the korg z1 be enclosed in a nice set-up of keyboards, complementarity in itself.
Not later than yesterday I tried it with a Yamaha KX-5 connected in midi on the Korg for a session rather classic funk by playing a few bass keyboard presets, I really loved it! makes me want to throw all your plugs;)
In short you'll understand what Korg has nothing to be ashamed face synth 10 times more expensive, it offers countless possibilities and under its false air of newts lurks a killer with a sound all his own imprint, for note of humor and if you are depressed forget, because dark moods he can get your fix will not be wrong!.
For my part I bought 475 euros including shipping with 3 additional maps and as new, a board at this price there's hesitation is not heard .. no regrets .. plus it imposes, c ' is massive, solid, heavy.
