Why are they not putting cv on these synths? They keep putting out synths that people aren’t that crazy about and there’s just a few things they would need to do. I know they gotta hit a price point but if the synth has what people want usually they will pay for it.
Korg (just like AKAI) are no fun for people with GAS. They make gear that makes a LOT of other gear obsolete by buying one synth. This however, Is amazing for people trying to save space in the studio, who read manuals and who know how to get the most of out of their gear. What a beauty!
Yeah, spending time with this one to really master it would be a huge factor for sure. I haven’t been this into a synth for a while. Not sure what it is about it but it’s just inspiring somehow.
Yeah, that system is a lot of fun to explore! The pricing is not the best part of this one, I totally agree. It has something special about it… a personality that I can’t help but being drawn to
So Korg basically made a Massive X synth in hardware (including 4 mod knobs) 😂. Not a bad thing, by no means. Cool. And for $899 (Guitar Center).....not a bad synth, though Music Radar finds it still a bit plastiky and complained about the menu system. The fact that I'm looking for the price tag half way in the video, says something I guess. I'm looking for synth to compliment my samplers, to go without computer entirely. And the keyboard has aftertouch. So it ticks all my boxes ((c) Audiopilz). And my (educated) guess is, Pi5 inside?
I guess there’s a Pi inside but I’m not 100%. The synth supports aftertouch but the keyboard doesn’t have it… I’m personally more into this one than any of the previous devices in the same family. But yeah… The menu system is the weak point for sure.
@@AccurateBeats typical korg shooting themselves in the foot. The mini freak has AT and a metal body at $600….idk hey continue to cut corners in the strangest places.
All this new gear out looks so fun but nothing is anything I can’t do in my daw….ableton…which you can build any synth or effect you want inside of itZzzzzzz oh in sorry I feel asleep there
Loved the review and the jam man! Looks like an awesome synth. Price is around 950 euro.
Thanks! Yeah, that price seems to be about right… And as I expected - not on the cheaper side.
FIRST?! also thats a banger around 04:00

Unapologetically digital but I like the sound! Heavily packed. And that hipster bag. Cool beat Accurate! ❤
Thanks! The bag IS a nice little touch.
Looking forward to exploring this more
The homerun you describe sounds like my Roland Fantom S. It also adds sampling ;)
The fantom is a strong contender!
Nice

@AccurateBeats this is literally the First modern Korg I've seen that i instantly got gas for. Its beautiful
Not bad, that layered preset system is great! Typical way-off Korg pricing however, almost Modal level
Yeah, that system is a lot of fun to explore!

@@AccurateBeats that's a huge point...and personality erases a lot of the pricing inhibition! I have to admit I'm intrigued
probably best to do sound design via the editor
what is the boot time?
I haven’t timed it but it’s somewhere between totally manageable and just a little bit annoying 😜

Korg and Roland are the modern day Casio.

Idk I feel like there are enough synths in the world. Lacks vision and creativity if you ask me.
Just give us a MonoPoly reissue please !
Another company already did that at a hard to beat price point.
I’m not into it myself but… It’s out there.
I use the iOS app lol
