Published on 03/01/04 at 08:23 (This content has been automatically translated from French)For the feature, I let you go surfing on the manufacturer's website!
I put 7. Why:
1 cheap keyboard
2 ° No fine control over the delay effect
3 ° No control over the degree of distortion
Parcontre without comparison with a VST!! Hundred thousand times better and intuitive.
UTILIZATION
Simple to use and both complicated. This allows me at least, to teach me subtractive synthesis effectively.
Editing sounds is OK. The manipulation of sound in real time is no pb. With practice, you can have real time access to the guts of a sound while playing.
Beautiful!

For several days, I am trying to build me my own bank's (sound "vintage" rather than techno) naked in my duvet, the toes fan-in and a good Senheiser on the head ...
SOUNDS
So there ... What to say. I was skeptical. After trying on a headphone in a poor Parisian shop, I doubted my purchase knowing that the technology is not my thing ... The sound was OK but nothing more than a good plugin like Pro52.
Parcontre. Arrived home. I plug in my Sennheiser ... And nothing to do. And yes! Let it be said, is like a good scratch. The amplification system you choose will be crucial (in this case, on a headphone there's no amp ...). I would say vital importance of system amplification and sound.
I'm going on the weekend with my family (in the shoulder strap in his MK saccoche) and then I plug the guitar amp to my brother (a transistor CARLSBRO 100W). What a surprise ...
I travel all 128 presets and I remember 1 / 5. The rest, I do not see the point.
I decided to create my first sound. WAOW ... What an adventure. I return some settings, I refine ... I give a little more amplitude. Just under intendité ... etc ... And then I end with a sound ... But that would call for her organic ...
No need for a polyphony of 640,000 qd was the sound ...
I record and then I tell myself that I will miss sleep.
The Landemaine I pauffine and create other sounds. Through organs, tablecloths ...
Thanks to the Vocoder and tweaks, not to mention the freeze function, I find myself in 3 seconds with a cello sound formed thanks to my voice ... I propelled into higher octaves ...
The lead ... I instantly with a couple who capsizes LR Delay from left to right ... I turn the knob fully ... The notes are repeated, s'entrejambent ... And I have both hands free to fiddle with the cutoff and reso up and down the spectrum to vibrate in my headphones (subbass at will).
At this point, I decided to apply the distortion to the signal created (having decreased the intensity of the delay of course) ... and décendre three octaves lower (And yes no pb!).
I climb up the attack while leaving a little and then I attack sustain a good bass line funky, greasy, dirty well in fact ...
Sweaty, I stop, and decided that its worth the cost! You understand I'm sure. This formed thanks to his vocal cords ... I believe it.
I could go on for hours telling you about this creative tool. And yes ... This is NOT a toy, tell yourself. It is a creation tool that makes you want to create.
No comparison with any VST I've tried (Pro53, Absynth, Moogmodular ...). There's life in this box! ! ! No need to effect a hundred! The sound as it was the trunk.
NB: I could compare the sound with the VST with the same amplification system.
ps: to try on a guitar amp tube: thrills guaranteed!
OVERALL OPINION
I have been using qques days.
I like it, that's it. Easy to use. Very convenient. Instinctive. Suitable for all types of music "amplified" (rock, alternative, psyche, jazz and other electronics).
The Quality / Sound / Price is confusing ...

SOUNDS
The sounds can be rather Varis. Easily adjustable techno, but personal, I prog rock 'and I use it for groundwater (very good filter), leads (quite aggressive, but the guitarist is so mtal must keep in check) abroad and sounds (with arpgateur, trs effective).
But above all it has a POTATO! The bass are mchants are frankly ... Attention to the speakers. By comparison my AN1x, the sound is fatter.
The vocoder is correct but not be whopping.
OVERALL OPINION
Trs good synth booster, very practical for live and rpt '(size, weight ...) and sounds interesting. In short, a good deal.See less10Paper Jam

It has everything a good synth, and for good reason: it is the engine of the Korg MS2000!
UTILIZATION
Well, if you want to judge properly the device, be aware that costs less than 500 euro!
Therefore, we forgive him the two-digit display (no program names so), these little touches toys (but sensitive!), His edition matrix, its lack of polyphony.
The rest, finishing very "vintage" makes the device pleasant side wooden knobs inherited from ancestors: it is a pleasure to handle.
When the sound, the unit performs so it is designed: the analog, only the analog basses, leads, effects. For groundwater, it is less exciting, because of the lack of polyphony. And attention, if you want to imitate electric pianos, organs, strings, go your way.
Filters: excellent. By pushing the resonance, we get these little "tuit" as is currently fashionable.
The vocoder: it fills its function without any problems. A microphone is provided, but it takes strong ambient sound (hello feedback in live!). Just for him, the MicroKorg worth buying (for the vocoder, not for the micro ...).
SOUNDS
The MicroKorg is to enter the world of synthesis, or to complete his studio. For me it is a device perfectly complementing my set (with a Yamaha AN1x, an A5000 sampler, groovebox RM1x ...), and I use in two projects:
1) In a project electro / downtempo / breakbeat entitled PAPER JAM (http://www.paperjam.be), with some appearances in titles like SPEAK FRENCH and THE TRUE STORY (listening on the site).
2) My electro-rock LAUNCH FREE (http://www.freelaunch.net), where I not only creates sounds that must find their place between the guitars, but it also serves as my master keyboard! In fact, being small, light, with a keyboard sliding over seven octaves, and reliable controllers, it is perfect to control my sampler.
In short, to conclude, MicroKorg is small ... but strong!

Good quality / price ratio but beware, it is convenient PLUS something else (eg Triton us)

128 sounds are Fully reprogrammable Intgr of origin, which will be called using the control panel, or free software (PC and Mac) provided tl Korg loading. As polyphony, 4 notes is limited, and none is multitimbral mode.
UTILIZATION
The implementation of MicroKorg is speed. Its ergonomics are far from being excellent, but who takes the time to immerse themselves in principle, its programming is childish. All parameters are srigraphis fae the front, and simply turn the two large rotary potentiomtres to get the most out of this synth. User manual Franaise language is impeccable, but unnecessary, except for advanced functions and discovering shortcuts.
SOUNDS
Using the principle of analog modlisation which is now a growing number of current machines, the MicroKorg has a trs sound convincing. Bass, lead, FX, sounds squence (thanks arpgiateur the house) and even the layers of sound fawn all convincing. Of course, with 4 note polyphony is not just possible, but ...
The effects of the number two (modulation and delay) add a nice extras. The vocoder as it provides about the results and correct edition allows you to shoot a lot of things.
OVERALL OPINION
The MicroKorg is a small synthtiseur / vocoder that hides his game yet, the pleasure li its use is rel, and if its mini keyboard dplaira many claviristes, they can qu'apprcier appearance highly portable (it even runs on batteries). But be careful, small size does not mean toy, and is also a vritable synthtiseur who does not blush ct other machines in my home studio. Finally, the report qualitprix is simply spectacular.

Sounds kind of plants too "techno trance" but once the program, the machine rvle effective in many fields: synthetic analog, electro leads, basses round fx confusing ...
Used by Jarre in the last concerts in China and the album "geomtry of love"
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year
An exellent first choice, versatile synth ts and its really effective.
The vocoder is a bit cheap but it is precisely its strength: perfect for electro music and "chiptune" with a sidstation
I use real analog Galenti and microKORG is plutt defends well and does not suffer much by comparison with a sh juno 101 or 106 for example.

UTILIZATION
The beast is both simple and difficult to approach in that the principle is simple but a little early caffouille between each button but ended up being pretty easy.
my manual was in German and I do not speak German but with a little intuition, we understand what you want to understand it
SOUNDS
The sounds are powerful, the bass is "enormous", the rest sounds analog and true as a vst that I met that day.
no aftertouch, no one noticed a huge reaction velocity except Cerain presets so it depends surra programming patches.
the bass is real, sounds and other ambient keyboards are more complicated to find because of the limited polyphony, but there are ways to get out of something
OVERALL OPINION
I recently acquired and it is simply genial, first for her, then for the price.
I tried it before buying it and I was glued to a play and tweak sounds until seller closes the store.

Everything is on 6.4 and not on jack RCA / Cinch like a lot of synths.
Polyphony is only 4 lanes, which is not fair, anyway, and I think he is bi-timbral.
UTILIZATION
I have this keyboard for 6 days and I only used 2 times, to test the presets and tweaking knobs a bit. Note that I am a pianist and guitarist, I really do not play a keyboard. I have an electronic keyboard (Yamaha PSR-90, an infamous unnamed dating from 1982 whose only interests are the rhythms kitsh fun and function ultra-simple programming on drums, whose sound is not bad I think, relatively uncommon and almost hot) but it does not change the sounds, it's not a synth.
I have not edited the sounds other than with the rotary screen printing, but the keyboard suggests that extensive editing is possible.
I have not read the manual for now.
SOUNDS
I am of melodic pop. Let me explain: I believe virtually everything that moves to the FM radio, on MTV and MCM, is shit without a name, devoid of melody. The "songs" occupying our airwaves are usurped, predictable, flat, monotonous, predictable. So I'm open to music because I demand more than mediocrity. Indulge in complacency would be a sign of confinement and would mark a failure to appreciate real melodies. This is to establish a bit of background about what I do. I am presumptuous enough to think and say that I write melodies.
This synth has multiple filters are powerful enough, the arpeggiator is a bit limited, I think, but the possibilities in terms of sounds are absolutely huge. From a single preset, you can create many sounds very distant from each other. Smooth, aggressiveness, simplicity, complexity, the choice is yours. It may take some experimentation to find the sound you need, but if you do not find it, it's your fault. Be careful, this synth is a real synth. This is not a thing that reads samples of flute or piano, so if you want the effect piano bar in the suburbs, will have to move to a very different range.
The keyboard has a touch sensitive, it seems. I did not feel much pressure sensitive keys, but this is probably based on the sounds and their parameters.
OVERALL OPINION
I think a good sound can give life to a simplistic riff, and confer a power of attraction to a pretty rotten song, easily. In short, I think there are ways to make money with this keyboard, if they have other stuff to do the rest behind. I bought an MC-303 the same day. I think the two combined can make a killing.
I have played with this new toy that twice so I can not say more for now.
Overall, I am confident with my purchase because the possibilities are enormous and the sound too. It sounds out right away, without going through the menus at the con, and without using the mouse and pc ... just for this, it is a pleasure.See less21Analog Art

UTILIZATION
I find the edition sounds quite complex because you have to go into a kind of matrix and edit the parameters one by one, it's hard to edit sounds, we must say that I have difficulty with the synthesis, I do not know where the notion of change for a particular sound (a slick, low) so I generally use ready made patches that I transfer directly into the microKORG via a MIDI cable and a small soft .
what I find cool are the knobs that resemble those of the moog or we can modify in real time some parameters in order to live with fun sounds.
Taking a real pleasure to play a sound and varied to do with the buttons in real time!
SOUNDS
I use it occasionally and I am always happy with its superb sound very warm-sounding analog-style very well, you come back ay sounds like moog also those of Jean-Michel Jarre edition with even more I think the pressure can be derived in many other things too wonderful!
sound factory allows to have a first approach to possibility and realize that sounds great on warm analog sound.
to have something decent you have to recreate the original presets because they do not allow pushed to max all the capabilities of this little synth.
OVERALL OPINION
I buy new a few years now in a Paris department store where I could try it there, not knowing departing what I really wanted to buy one I really wanted to sound analogue synth.
I like the idea of starting Korg MS2000 but I had already read reviews on the microKORG on the net.
so I try the MS2000, which I liked on this keyboard was the many buttons edition issue sounds but it did not attract too, one can then discuss with me the seller is more oriented towards the microKORG.
was first seen in real ca seemed rather a toy I put the headphones on and then I started to browse through the factory sounds and I still took a hell of a slap!
very good and big sounds in the analog, for analog modeling is very successful.
I recommend it to anyone they would like to have a little analog synth was everywhere enmené not very expensive as Excellent quality / price ratio, plus it also feeds on batteries and with headphones on and can play anywhere when it takes us!.
has seen the first one has the impression of dealing with a toy But make no mistake, this one did not, we all the same case has a great brand that has some experience in the synthesis that made the Korg reputation.
namely over the microKORG has the same sound engine as the MS2000 and thus the patches of the latter are 100% compatible with the microKORG.
I was thinking of selling it and then every time I hear its beautiful sound I crack as always!
I would do well on this choice but I do not think I could really separate myself.See less20Anonymous

But it has some advantages: more portable than the already light Poly800, with a vocoder if it's anecdotal and especially enough "cute" compared to these big machines spotty.
Filtering is terribly cheap, the keyboard is used only for decoration or for fun programming patches ... the fault list is long! At the time I had paid a high price, close to 600 euros if I remember correctly.
Sounds "80's typed" are to flee because they do not reflect the potential of the machine and will laugh out loud to anyone having even the analog nase. But it is capable of some hot sounds, including bass and ground (without abusing the limited polyphony) not disgusting.
OVERALL OPINION
This little machine is fun and makes a lot of things.
It's not really the synth that I recommend to a beginner, even if it is simple. Simply to its limits and its tendency to play the "analog". It is a machine with his funny yet cradingue vocoder and filter that can become interesting for its weakness.
It's the whole point of the machine: it is not really good and is a good complement when you turn from their regular duties. The arpeggiator will be perfect for making mini-movies with percussive sounds vague, not enough to make the foundation for a tube but add some gimmicks for cheap.
This is not a machine with tubes, not the best synthesis module to support a groovebox, unless they play the minimalist ... But it is engaging and will give all its juice used in the synthesis. With a good chorus pedal back, it quickly becomes a slaughter, but not where you would expect.
Absolutely not essential as a synth, it is nonetheless representative of what is done for almost a decade in the small world of synthesis: from cheap compact to carry. Everybody has, but only the best will push the right places.
I did not keep very long. I preferred his cousin (distant and virtual) the Legacy Cell: there are big because of synthesis.
In short: small, friendly, but not to be taken seriously. Torturing it, filter it, put it in the pedals for guitar and you have a synth capable of dwarf cool stuff.See less12Virtual Decadence

UTILIZATION
The edition sounds: many have talked about it and complained. But do not forget the software publisher's website tlchargeable Korg. And everything becomes clearer.
You connect the MIDI keyboard (I / O) and the software automatically synchronizes the buffer patch with your edition of MK. For someone like me who comes mostly from the world of software plugins, made all the difference. It has a better view of architecture and a graphical interface Bouzin quite enjoyable.
And then, with multiple surfaces MIDI CONTRL, I will not delay me CRER ddi a preset for the MK edition more "intuitive" with knobs and faders (on the Novation Remote 25 such ).
The manual is clear ... for someone who knows the basics of DJ synthse analog type.
I do not like the edition with the keyboard itself but with the software sound-editor of Korg (Mac OS X for me), I put 10.
Unlike linn134, I would recommend a beginners in synthse but with the software publisher and a good tutorial on analog synths.
SOUNDS
What I wanted is a little trick to do on scne what I usually do with the Korg Legacy Collection or the GForce Minimonsta (see Oddity of the same editor). : Very low "fat", screaming leads and webs psychs well filters.
For it was not bad at all. I read somewhere that a silent sense multiple MS-20. The medium I agree, it lacks some features the essential personality of MS-20: the 2nd filter (for a LPF and HPF) and the richness of the patch. Even if the MicroKorg is far from being ridiculous at the modulation matrix.
Are We There Yet even closer sounds "most classic" MS-20 and Polysix from the same (well except for the limited 4-way), at least from what I get done with the VSTi version of the Legacy.
Pass on my POD or a small Vox amp crunch that (for sound leads, not for sub-bass), he has a potato which is well suited what I do (which is a group of rock guitar not Tangerine Dream).
If I compare other VSTi-inspired "analog" I would say even when I came to have warmer sound with the Minimonsta (which in addition has a modulation matrix almost completely te). I would also have an AIM filter "moog-like".
Otherwise it's still the same vocoder that encouraged me the most I pay for this toy (it's not super practical scne with vocoders software) and I admit that I'm bluffing by the quality of sound. OK I used the plugin plutt EVOC20 Logic (20 bands) that can make intelligible voice but great for the MK scne will more than the case (especially as it is not to the daft punk but to synthetic choirs derrire the lead vocal).
In rsum I especially use it as almost monophonic lead synths and vocoder. Surely not to reproduce Fidler (is impossible) the wealth of some VSTi (I agree with linn134, the Legacy Collection is much richer for a pro sound design ... but for a newb, the microKORG is simpler than the MS20).
It is not everything but it's not what I asked.
OVERALL OPINION
Assets:
- Lgret the compactness of the battery operation .. I'm going to the trainer everywhere.
- Engine synthse not so "cheap" you might think (at the same time I heard dj stuff a lot on the MS2000 including professional recordings) . I love the Korg sounds as a general rule even if a will never be worth a real analog era.
- The vocoder thundering given the low number of bands (I did like everyone else, I put an SM58 in the ass instead of micro fun included).
- The possibility to treat (mostly filter) as an audio signal on an MS20 but also simplistic. For Goldfrapp's voice, not bad.
- The arpgiateur is really well thought out (I only know that of the Polysix and the endless possibilities with the environment in Logic Pro). Especially the possibility of each of the eight dye CRER not nice rhythmic figures.
- The current price
- Large vintage buttons
Cons:
- Part polyphony and the filter is far from a Moog, and yet the price goes, I do not see.
- Whether, if the presets. Argh ... y'en goods containers. Now even if you're not a pro at synthse To create its own presets, there are plenty on the web (knowing that you can use the presets made for the MS2000).
- If I quibble (it is for the a), I would say the select banks with "styles": trance, techno, dn'b, vintage, hip-hop ... nase is. I prfr labels by type of sounds: leads, basses, pads, FX, arp ... because it was exactly as I will arrange my own presets.
So nothing rdhibitoire for less.
If I had 4000 euros, I would pay a Minimoog Voyager as everyone
But at the bargain price, I do not know better deal than this MicroKorg. APRs must listen linn134 is something limited but worth the s'intresser programming and pull through full effects. The quality-price ratio even when top.

The edition is impressive, able to move from a soft sound of water has its type etcrystallin Merzbow starting from the same wave. Guess that the spectrum between the two is then extremely large!
I take this opportunity to return to two points. The first will be a REFERENCE els all people coming to complain about the presets. As I already said on the forums, to read some commenaires, everyone SNET the soul of great sound designer, and tonnament, when I go to the myspace pages of some or when I see this on claiver sc do I hear sounds of plants. So we must say that is: the presets are usable and widely utiliss. In addition, they are far more affordable than some other keyboards. I think about I micron possde too. Korg sounds are more attractive at first, without spending hours to program the animal.
Another point: All people who come to say "it's a toy, not worth a ca vritable analog." Two things: THE FIRST go all costs ca
This guy is a fine lot of gas which make clever with their analos has 10 bricks.
In addition, it is important to understand what it sagit. MK is a portable keyboard, an alternative to the VST standard keyboards and 20 kilos. And no, it does not sound as warm as the keyboard of my pp to it There's 20 years. But the sound of your 206 does not ring as well as the engine of my 1947 mustang dude either. So to all those who do not roll on gold and even those who have pts in gold coins, do not let imporessinner: the micro korg sounds, there is no worry of it!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 3 years and this thing sounds extremely good. I like his cot powerful compared to its tiny size. Everywhere, it makes impressive. The ratio quality price is excellent. I would end by saying that this keyboard, despite its dtracteurs nevertheless scne t seen with groups such as Devo, prodigy, massive attack, kelis, Ddammage, Maroon 5, Beastie Boys, isis, thesis armas are snakes, audio bullys, snoop dog (I brew large). The micro korg sduit when normment same people. Its small size and its relatively ppuissant of bte make a synthesis of current interest to only those who still swear by the laptop: = 400 of the modular bank at will, sound quality, and of course the cot "true": true knob, etc. .. contact with even when BCAN is super fun.See less22Pictocube

The sound of the vocoder is much better with another micro that come with. Personally I really built my sounds with this synthtiseur (learning purposes) and in the end I am always satisfied.
OVERALL OPINION
