Yes - I know I said "west coast" when I meant "east coast" when describing the patch in the intro. I've been spending too much time with low-pass gates and I clearly have wave folders on the brain!
Congrats on getting the nod from korg to do some factory patches 😎 well deserved mate. i always recommend your videos to people who are looking for solid easy to follow sound design stuff. Good on ya 👍
"I want to get rid of the wobble and go for a wob wob wob instead". Only synth nerds will understand and love this ;-) Thank you for this clear tutorial, I am going to replicate that sound on my own hardware today.
@@OscillatorSink I just created a similar bass patch on my Waldorf Quantum Mk2 following your suggestions. So much fun and I learned a thing or two about the synth. Thank you!
The screen really highlights how little we've been happy to accept on small synths in the last few years. The UI is really nice too - it actually has a character to it, which is so often lacking from onscreen UIs.
Nice in-depth video. Still trying to decide between the MicroKorg and the Hydrasynth Eplorer (or maybe the Multi/Poly). Do love the squelchiness of the filter though
Get the Korg MK vst and it will be a game changer … then you can upload to the hardware… MK is one of my favorite synths … happy that they kept the “vintage engine” with more voices
A great little synth. Had the OG and sold it when I moved to Jupiter 50 and KingKorg yet still fond memories of the original. The Mk II I can fancy adding...plz talk me out 😅
What I'd actually love to see is some of the same patches created on the OG, XL and 2 to really understand the differences in sound. Especially as all three are still on the market. I've had the OG in the past and it really has a gritty unique sound to it, that's what made it special. So far the sound from this doesn't sound that interesting.
What I really want to know is, is the polyphony on the MKII calculated like the original? For example, if I used all 3 available oscillators on one timbre 1 does that take up 3 voices for one note?
Probably a stupid question to ask since you worked on the patches for this model. Will any of the old patches carry over? Trying to determine if i should keep my s model with the 2 or just sell the s before the 2 arrives.
@@yordyiam it's comparable, insofar as it can be compared! They're both subtractive synths with FX built in, but there are many differences. One is purely digital, the other is analogue (with digital fx), the Korg has more voices, more types of oscillators, more types of filters, more voices, is multi-timbral (can play two different sounds at once); the Deepmind has a bigger keyboard, aftertouch, a more comprehensive mod matrix (or, more modulation slots anyway)... They're both good though.

Just be thankful we weren’t talking about hip hop 😬

Thank you! It was a big honour to be asked - crazy to think people who buy this synth will have my sounds out of the box!
@@OscillatorSink mate I'm going to the local synth shop to check them out. Ive got a few of your patch packs and they're top notch. 👍

@@rayderrich wobble, wobwobs and wubwubs are all very technical terms! Thanks for watching!

You can never have too much wub wub. Love me some wub wubs when called-for
Great video! like you said, great way to learn the synth. Thank you!
The microkorg sounds more impressive than I expected. Virtual Analog has come a long way!
Love the screen, as a proud owner of MK 1 I'm very interested in the possibility of buying this one.

Thank you making gear release day educational.
@@krazywabbit other folks do the demo/review stuff better than I - I try to stick to my niche 😊

It actually turned out better than I expected, although I do miss the wooden side panels.
@@nomadictuo1875 agreed - the wood ends are iconic!
I think I need this one , to better understand the first micro KORG 🎉
The original Microkorg was honestly a pain to program sounds for, this one is actually really nice.
@@OscillatorSink this thing looks like it might just solve that problem , sounds grate tho

I might contact Korg and see if they'd be willing to lend me an original...
How's the new filter? I heard the first microkorg has a better filter than this

@@koalemos1679 no, voices are voices, and they all have 3 osc plus noise.
Probably a stupid question to ask since you worked on the patches for this model. Will any of the old patches carry over? Trying to determine if i should keep my s model with the 2 or just sell the s before the 2 arrives.
The synth architecture is pretty different in a few core ways, so no, although it would be an interesting experiment to see how close you could get.
@@OscillatorSink Thanks for the reply, looking forward to the 2
Do you mean classic *east* coast three oscillator sound?
@@tothefinlandstation yes. It was late when I was recording the video, forgive the faux pas!
IS IT OUT?? Ive been every list for this damn thing and got 0 alers.
😮

Half hour to make a bass 😅...quite long
@@easyvince3236 yeah, would have been a lot faster if I hadn't explored and explained the different features and my rationale for using them for sure.
Is this synth comparable with a deepmind 6?
Complete noob to this world 🤯🤷🏼♂️

Whoo - what a unpleasant resonance its have! 😮
