btw, I have a MicroKorg. I'm generally happy with it. Admittedly, I'm quite the noob when it comes to synthesizers. I'm probably only doing about 5-10% of what this synth does. My only complaint is that most of the synthesizer controls are not readily available - You can control ASDR, or LFOs, or a low pass filter, but not all at the same time. You have to use a matrix menu to choose what the knobs do. If I were buying a synth now, I might get something like the Roland Gaia SH-01 instead. It's a little bigger, but it has more dedicated controls. Pros: --Small keyboard: Easy to play with 1 hand. --It's possible to tweak some settings while playing --the mod wheel can be assigned to do different things. (I usually have mine set as a band pass filter.) --Synth sounds are pretty good. --Lots of presets for string sounds, organ sounds, etc. --All of the synthesizer parameters that I can think of are represented - 2 oscillators, asdr, lfos, band pass filters, portamento speed, monophonic/polyphonic, etc. --Octave up and Octave down keys are easy to use and intuitive - expanding the range of the keyboard for most users. Cons: --In order to change some settings, you need to dial the settings up on a matrix (which is hard to read in most band settings). This assigns the controls of the 4 knobs. --About 1/2 of the presets are for stereotypical "techno" sounds or auto-arpeggiator sounds which I would never use. --I don't believe the keys are velocity sensitive. (I could be wrong - I don't remember) --Power source is a wall-wart. -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com www.ribosomemusic.com Rigs! www.youtube.com/user/ribosomematt On Thu, May 19, 2011 at 12:58 AM, Louie Angulo <louie.angulo@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hoi boyz, > if u were to pick the smallest most portable hardware keyboard synth > with really nice qualitiy strings,vintage pianos,organs etc. which one > would it be? > here is one ive been looking at > > http://www.korg.com/microkorg > > > -- > www.luis-angulo.com > >
