I just got one at Goodwill for $8.00 !!😀😀😀😀
@uncle fester I just tested it and 2 white keys and 1 black key aren't working....I may need to take her apart and clean the rubber pieces.
Wow!!! What a find. Hope the dead keys are an easy fix!!
@@rickr.mortis4821 I believe they are easy to fix....just a strip inside that needs cleaning.
@@broccolihart1 Easy fix too. Some people just let them sit without a cover and dust is the enemy of a lot of musical instruments,, but some people are afraid to dismantle them,,, so you end up getting a good deal. Somebody's junk becomes someone else's treasure.
@@rickr.mortis4821 Right !! I still wonder why it was donated though? Not something you see at the thrift store.
The bass sound at 1:30 is making me really want this synth. It's so powerful.
I’m not into this and I still don’t understand how he got that sound did it have to do with the knobs on the lower left? I didn’t understand what setting he was it seems like each time he played it was a different setting but I did not see him turning the knob
@@evelynvongizycki1017The square buttons under the largest knob are used to go through the standard sounds made by Korg. But of course you can customize your own sounds.
Nice to hear again all those sounds I've since overwritten.
That house-ish patch, lmao.
Fuck it imma buy one now
GAMI?
hahaha
I never thought to use the vocoder with external audio... genius...
I could spend hours playing with that thing!
Shaine MacDonald me too, i love that thing. GREAT for Live Acts
gecko242 My statement was more of me daydreaming b/c I can't afford one right now.
Shaine MacDonald Try saving money for it. Definitely worth it!
What's better- microkorg or mininova?
Both are Great! i use Micro Korg, MiniNova, Electribe ESX-1, Korg Wavestation, Korg M1, Roland MC-505, TB-303......
and a lot more =D
great sounds from such a small box. love it
5:09 The minute perfect for understand why you need a Microkorg in your life and have one of these beautiful sinths in your colecction!
this is a classic synth. I feel as though any serious keyboard player or producer should have one in the arsenal........even if it's just to add to the collection
Great Demo. Great skills too. Man I wish you performed a whole song.
That put a big smile on my face! Thank you for the great quick demo!
Bought one back in 2007 and love it still.
Such great synths built into this machine. Mine has been running strong for 15 years!
I've just bought one ... I Love the little thing , It sounds Amazing.
Great DEMO, and great teaching. Thank you! I just ordered mine!
This is a great demo.
Just got this today and can't wait to run home and set it up in my studio...
Damn that beat running through the vocoder sounds sick!!
love my Microkorg XL. Big sounds from such a small beast.
Nice demo, thanks for the video.
Gonna have to buy this one, seems very nice.
This machine is awesome !!! The demo perfect !!
Well done demonstration
What I find funny is that this synth is the one that gained popularity and it's big brother, the MS2000 which was essentially the same synth but had more real time controls on it and more features, kind of seems to have faded into obscurity. You still see this synth kicking around in people's studios, their gigs, and setups even today. It sold like mad. The MS2000, while everyone seemed to have one when it came out, seems to have, disappeared now. You pretty much NEVER see one in a studio, or at a gig any more. I'll never understand how this little thing became so popular and the MS2000 just... went into everyone's closets, when in my opinion, the MS2000 was the far superior synth with all the real time control elements on it.
I love the MS200 (LOVE it), but the 4-voice polyphony and super-dodgy power supply soldering issue didn't do it any favors in the long term as far as sales are concerned; it also a significantly larger footprint in the studio or on stage than the Microkorg. Totally agree about its capabilities though, absolutely wonderful unit.
Great demo, thank you
4:40 gave me chills. I hope I can pick one of these up soon :D
thanks for the tour
Just got mine today. Loooove it!
is that...... a ... snare drum stand
I just ordered one of these, I'm a bit excited :)
MY MIND HAS BEEN BLOWN! I *MUST* HAVE IT!!!!
I really wish that you would have kept going with the last part of this video. That really grabbed my attention being able to plug your phone audio. Wow, There's a person on craigslist selling one for $250.00USD.
I just found one for $50!
I want it and I want it now!!!!
Just bought a used one for $200. Seemed like the best option for a beginner synth in my budget
Are you still digging it doom?
I'm thinking about getting one as my first actual synth. The price and features seem like a steal.
I just bought one for $200. First synth. The thing is un-real at the sounds it will make!
timecode 3:00 - EPIC sound, very Prodigy like:D
Korg is king of all the Keyboards....
I want it all!!!!
I love Stockhausen and I like it
Take a microkorg, run it through a Strymon Big Sky and you have the coolest setup under $1,000
Or for a bit less than the big sky, an EHX Cathedral. Now you have best set up for $500.
+LAMU EHX won't translate through a big P.A. the sound is awful
+Angelo DelSenno have you tried it through a PA? I run my MK through an EHX Cathedral into a big PA every week, sounds dark and charming. Strymon has a very transparent sound, which many prefer. The EHX really has a moody and character laden feel.
The EHX cathedral is nice, but I feel that most of the presets are designed mainly for use with a guitar. The big sky also has a bunch of extra parameters available in the sub menus. Very versatile. I recently switched to the BigSky after having the Cathedral for about 7 mo. and I haven't looked back. Not trashing cathedral at all though. It's probably one of the best sub $500.00 reverb pedals.
or a MXR m300 GREEAAT reverb pedal
The second sound on Techno/House on my Micro Korg sounds different. Did you change the settings?
2:39 sounds like something Parliament would do.
excelente amigo saludos desde tijuana
i've bought on several years ago to ad scifi sound effects to my sound collages.
One of the best little synths ever. Capable of almost any patch. Check out some of the third party patch sets and see if you agree!
This was great
I have one and love it. The XL has more polyphony though. I might see if I can find a used one.
can you play chords on it?
@@goodnightcorp. Yes but there's only 4 note polyphony.
Great video, thanks! just a quick question can you put the sustain all the way down and press one key so it holds until you press another ey? thank you!!
I need this!!!😀
3:53 it reminds me to Enter Shikari
Panchi Gómez I thought the same thing.
Another more than 10 years have past, since this video has been released, but the Microkorg is still a strong synth in 2023!
i don't know about you guys. but i've seen whole albums done with that little monster
Amazing ! Your tutorial makes me want to buy one asap, and i don't even know how to play the keyboard LOL
How would you make the synthesized held-out B-Flat French Horn note from the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo on the Korg MicroKorg?
OMG OMG OMG NEED ONE!!!!!!
Jessy Mello good luck getting one cheap
You can find one for $200...
Yeah
I found one for $20 on a Facebook for sale page. deal of the fucking century
Le Flannz yes it is
I just got this yesterday but I'm struggling with figuring out how the vocoder works and how to put in drum patterns
Can you have the vocoder active while playing a looped beat all on the MicroKorg?
I really like the sound of the Microkorg/XL, more so than Novation's Ultra/Mini Nova or Roland's SH-01 Gaia.
Sweet Korg shirt.
thats fucking awesome
It's totally appropriate that I have the privilege of being the first comment for this vid.The micro Korg has been an important part of my studio from the beginning. I have 2 of them synced up midi and audio and Kaos pad ! GREAT COMBO !!!
LO VOGLIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Listen thru my monitor headphone, sounds terrific :D
2:10-2:13 Panzer Dragoon Saga!!! OMG that is so great
Years ago I had the chance to buy this but the guy said a Korg R3 was the next one up. Naaaah it's not better for dance music!
I got me an access virus polar ti2, bass station 2, op1 teenage engineering n a elektron analog rytm when it's released.....
Still....... Would love one of these! Too many synths? Never!
Got the Volca Beats + Monotrons + Monotribe along with this, saving money for a field mixer and portable amp and then I can do live synth gigs wherever! The OP-1 is also a fav!
IVE HAD MANY SYNTHs. THE R3 WAS A BIG DISSAPOINTMENT. cheap plastic look and toy sounds. the microkorg although looks like a toy is the best sounding keyboard.
M Loch I couldn't agree more. I have a limited set up 4-5 synths at a time. And I've never been more productive.
That is until your electricity, Internet and water bills come in and then tax and then you're like "oh".
Can the external audio trigger the keys through the vocoder like it can on the MS-20 Mini?
Can you play this like a regular keyboard too?
just wow
With that Thing ...one evolves upon evol' ...!!!
This year the Microkorg will be old enough to drink & drive (not at the same time)
Does it have speakers on it and can be plugged into a mixing desk? I'm after one but I don't know how the sound physically comes out it. I'm VERY new to synths!
I want this badly!
Adolfo Vazquez good luck getting one cheap
Chino Espinoza You are right, but hey, the MicroKorg is way cheaper compared to the Nord Lead :) this MicroKorg costs 400 dollars and the cheapest Nord Lead I know costs 1000 dollars.
Adolfo Vazquez look on line sometime they have them for 150 in good condition
Chino Espinoza Oh really? Where did you find it at that price?
Adolfo Vazquez just search cheap microkorg and sites will pop up
I love my MircoKorg! How do you plug into audio 2 clean? I can hear it when I press a key but I would like to be able to send a signal hands free.
+Nolan Campbell Photography In the Edit Select 1, there is a category "Audio In 1." You might have to adjust the "gate sense" or the "threshold." Otherwise it might be the "trigger mode" setting in the "Voice" category. Hope that helps.
Instead of a microKorg, I dove for a microKorg XL, which has more in common with the Radias than the MS-2000 (I exchanged a 2000 synth keyboard to get the XL). One thing I miss about the 2000 is a bi-timbral patch which layered a cross mod sound like those produced during the Transformers film of 2007 over an arpeggio. Even w2ithout the 2000's onboard sequencer, could such a patch be re-created with either the microKorg or the microKorg XL?
A question...it also has the drum machine function or like?
Just ordered one after seeing this. Got one on ebay used- like new for £190 :)
Nice
Still my favorite synth since I got mine in 2011. I've owned or borrowed a dozen synths and if I could only have one, it would be the MK. It has a vast palette of waves, elaborate modulation routing and excellent effects. It's like a room full of equipment that fits on your lap. Since learning how to program it myself I've spent countless hours just playing with it, with a big smile on my face. No synth I know is more fun to play with.
Which track do you have on your iPod at 05:17?
Thanks in advance!
is it possible to fit a minilogue into a snare stand?
can you program a beat and keyboard tune or is this just straight live, no record sample etc ?
If I buy one used will I need any additional software?
Does this have the default midi channel 10 built in so I can plug in a Roland octapad?
In my opinion it still sounds better than many much more expensive VA synths.
TheArchiveOfWonder - Totally agree. I prefer it to a SH-201, Supernova, Gaia, JP-8000, OB-12, System 8, JD-Xa and some more.
Hello, I'm undecided between this synthesizer and the other new version ROLAND BOUTIQUE JP-08 JUPITER-8 SOUND MODULE, I state that I do hip hop with a sampler the akai mpc 2000 xl, you say which is the best to have those dark bass ? or if maybe there is someone else who you recommend? greetings
I'm 2 years late at a reply to your question. I do recommend getting one. I've had one since '08. I also do hip hop with and MPC2000. The Roland boutiques are cool. Nowadays I would recommend spending your money on Behringer stuff. Trust, I just bought in September of 2020 a Behringer Poly D and it is ridiculous. I haven't used it yet with my MPC because I bought a Behringer RD-8 (Roland 808 clone). Trust me, put your money on Behringer.
In 2022 it is still a good keyboard/synth to buy? Can it be used for live performances and does it need a laptop or it works as it is? Thank you!!! ❤️
i really need help with my micro korg!! what are the settings you used on that A.11 selection??! i neeeedd that sound!! plz hlp thx
Do you prefer the microkorg, or the microkorg xl? This one seems better
This is brilliant! Would have so much fun with that! :D
Do you need speakers to hear noise? Or it comes with it'd own speakers ? Want to start with s synth that i don't need to get a laptop or speaker
Coming soon... Korg MicroKorg 20th anniversary... and its still being made and sold!
Does anyone know if the Microkorg S features the same sound played at 4:30? got an idea for a song using it but don't want to pay for the upgraded model if it doesn't feature that sound lol
Its sinewave and lfo modulated noise. Mod wheel tuning is probably just tuning or some sync/crossmod type. Just if you want to try and emulate it
Yes! I love it. I'm getting one!
MALEDIZIONE VOGLIO QUESTOOOOH !!!
Hi which kind of cabbles and speaker do I need to play this, before I buy it?
Does anyone know what the sample at 3:00 is called? Also, does the Microkorg XL have it?
I wish I have one
Can someone inform me on how to program a baseline along with the arpeggiated drum and hat pattern shown at 3:32
so I'm not the only one who uses snare stands for all kinds of gear
I have this
can i connect this to a roland kc-350 keyboard amp?
Hi how did you plug in an iphone?? cable etc.?
