    The Microkorg is probably the best thing I ever bought in my 39 years of life.

      @@701200310 to be honest I like the microkorg but it just can get a bit annoying to program, I’ve since bought minibruit 2 and I find it so much more fun but only thing is you can’t save patches

    I can't believe all the bad press the MicroKorg gets. You won't find any synth better at this price point. Absolutely awesome tutorial.

    I hate you for teaching me how to program the MicroKorg. It was one of the last areas of mystery, peril and intrigue in my life now it's just something I know well enough to teach to someone else. You took something beautiful and spiritual away from me and replaced it with confident and competent understanding. My brain is now full of forbidden knowledge, yet my soul has emptied. You absolute monster.

    Thanks for this very good tutorial. You're so freakin fast haha.. the Micro Korg is one of the best pieces I have ever bought. I;m a guitarist, and I don;t even use that many boxes. I try to leave the tech department to others, but I love Micro Korg, and I love what it can do. I realize now, I have been using, maybe only 15% of the synth.

    Such an iconic synth... and a good tutorial, too! I tried an original Microkorg back in 2010 or so, and enjoyed it. So I bought one... but got the XL version since it was newer and had a more powerful engine. Oops. I didn't realize how bad the interface was, or how much that mattered. It's virtually unusable for patch creation purposes, so it's pretty much limited to only presets. I should have gotten an Ultranova instead, or a Blofeld, or even a Korg R3. They were around at the same time and were much better.
    If I was starting today though, I'd go for something else. The Bass Station II is a good option as a starter synth... or the Microfreak. Or for something nicer, a Hydrasynth desktop is both easy and incredibly deep. Or for learning, a Microbrute or Minibrute 2 is easy and educational (though not terribly practical since it can't load patches).
    Anyway, you got the good one. There's a reason the original Microkorg is the best-selling synth in history.

    • @ToyKeeper
      @ToyKeeper ปีที่แล้ว

      @@liuchaquan The Hydrasynth Explorer and Arturia Minifreak are both great options these days. At least, that's what I would probably get.
      A synth is kind of secondary to a tool to record and arrange sounds though, so I'd go for that type of core tool first, before getting a synth. My favorite one is the Akai Force, but it really depends on what your goals are.

    On the ms2000 which shares an identical sound engine you can use its mod sequencer to modulate the digital waveform selection, very interesting results.

    • @JH-lo9ut
      @JH-lo9ut 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, this is a synth. It creates it's own sounds and doesn't need a computer.
      You will need to connect it to an amplifier and speakers though.

    Hi friend, I bought a microkorg to learn, and I think you teach perfect, is it possible for you to make videos teaching the notes as chords? something basic, to take the first steps. If you have obvious time

  • @lundsweden
    @lundsweden 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Haha, the buttons have been a weak point on Korg's since the 80s (they can be fixed though, often just oxidised contacts). The MicroKorg must have something going for it, its coming up to 20 years in production!
    I had no idea that this little guy had the Korg DW Series waveforms in in- cool! I think this synth has unfairly been associated with hipsters/posers, but who cares about that? All that matters is the SOUND!

  • @vibrantdragon3123

    • @user-oe6wp8jy9p
      @user-oe6wp8jy9p 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It was my beginner synth-- but I didn't really understand how it worked until I got a korg MS20 mini. I would recommend a monosynth like the korg ms20 or the arturia microbrute to a beginner who wants to learn synthesis, and the microkorg for a beginner looking to use synth presets -- both are completely valid in my book! The microkorg is, as mentioned in the video, a 21st century synth legend. :)
