Cute little synth which incorporates the principles and synthse analog keyboard sounds, while riquiqui, limits toy, but ... Liser more.
4 polyphonic channels. 3 octaves physical (up to 7 thanks 2 buttons).
Trs full connectivity: 2 out mono jack L / R 6.35, 2 mono 6.35 in jack to pass instruments through the bte + 1 in Stereo mini jack for gooseneck condenser microphone Deliv with (!), MIDI in, out, through and finally headphone jack in 6.35.
A big left hundreds of sounds (a little anyhow elsewhere) between a wheel o figure DIFFERENT styles and 8 banks x 2 as buttons: Access in factory sounds is very s simple.
Fully ditables sounds (like all analog synths: waveform, tilt, VCF ... and an effect of delay and modulation). APRS to edit, we must say a little train (but hey, everything sounds good, looking great!).
Pitch and modulation wheel. 6 knobs (Vintage yptent): volume, rsonance, cutoff, attack, release, tempo.

UTILIZATION

Manuel, in good franais, not bad, good knowledge on synthse, the construction of a sound, but the manual does not say everything (basically, explanations on the APRS param tres, it's your turn, it's normal).
Config so we can not simple, but for the rest, it's a little harder, as any.
In any case, the first contact hyper fun, but as easy to use.
And it is nice to face this synth imitation wood crate super lacquered real wood knobs vintage seventies look guaranteed.
Good mini keys on three octaves, it is small for music soared, but hey, aa MRIT to the little room!

SOUNDS

I bought my micro korg to rock soaring 70's style pink floyd, Tangerine Dream, Gong (YOU!), And I feel that I will rgaler. But I admit shamefully that since one week I have, I walk around all my friends trying the sounds of electro, techno and effects spciaux (a pate his world ) ... in short, even the vintage sounds (Hammond, rode, moog) are lethal pout a little like a. bte To make these styles is the synth for you.
To the 70's, have to do it too (sounds kind Moog, MS 20 ...), I will say again in a short time.
Vocoder programs are not bad at all (8 tapes). Ia also some pretty tablecloths guts.
In short, the sounds: the ball.
Anecdote: a friend has come another time with his korg Karma (even when 15,000 bales), were compared trs sounds like (and yes it is Korg), and he found that bah microKORG taient sounds warmer, more vintage (slightly bahi same), and I agree.

OVERALL OPINION

I wanted to buy a vintage analog synth based, style Yamaha CS 15 or MS 20, and although they sound deadly, they are trs versatile and often bulky. Well it's true that you can tweak the sounds so even physically (pdagogique enough to work the synthse).
With the MicroKorg, space saving, small but sturdy Maousse sound, and no more CHRE (429 euros in PLAYBACK, padded cover transportation, no shipping, delivered in 24 hours instead of 48, trs pros, congratulations guys!).
Well, the only catch is that you come across as a puppet when you pull the toy, but turn on and turn any program, press a button, move a bit cut off and rsonance, and it is the mga slap.
Civilian Space DLIR good music.
