I doubt it. The Extreme makes everything sound warm and plus some. I havent heard too many that can beat the Extreme variety of bass. As you can see I have one too. For the price the Microkorg is a very good buy though, the bass is very rich without the tube effect the Extreme has. Extreme is my weapon of choice.

Either way you can't go wrong.

instead get the ALESIS MICRON

way better - only a little more expensive - I bought mine for 400

the other model was 340 - the microkorg

or the alesis ion for 500

more knobs etc..

you know, you might beable to afford a juno-106 with $300. i think thats wat they go for now???? you ever hear that bass??? ssssshhhhhh

It depends on what kind of bass sound you want to use. The Microkorg will give you a better, deeper and more rounded synth bass than the Triton will, but the Micro will in no way sound like a bass guitar or any other non-synth bass, which the Triton will. They both work on completely different technologies, the Triton basically plays back samples that is has stored in memory, the Microkorg generates it's own waveforms from computer algorithms, with no samples on board (not strictly true with the micro, there are some tiny sampled waveforms, but they're not used as much as the standard subtractive waves). Then again, unless you like the particular sound of the microkorg, I'd go for the similarly priced Micron, as it's raw features piss on the micro from a great height, and it sounds more like an analogue synth.

But yeah, if you want realistic sounds, a Triton is the way to go, but for deep synth basses, any VA will make the Triton sound weedy and thin in comparison

Dat microKorg is dope i make a bunch of sounds on it...

i have the micro korg but one thing is a mystery to me, how do i turn off touch sensitivity so its full level instead? this is a pain cause i have to hit hard for my electribe to pick up cant find this feature in my micro korg manual so has anyone found out how? it has to be in the manual somewhere

I got a chance to play with both of them today at Guitar Center. I'll go with the Korg.

I'd say the microkorg for its price, is probably the best pound for pound synth out there. The basses are really really fat, and theres some really nice vintage sounds and pads. Also the vocoder is cool to get stoned and bust out at parties. Always a hit with the kids.

Also, I use the vocoder for adding some beats into my drum mixes. Like, I'll just get it set to a half decent sounding preset, and then use my s****y white boy beatbox skillz to their max and then bury it pretty low in the mix but it adds a real nice percussive feel to the beat.

However....the real question is....what'd ya pay for it? 300 bucks good deal. 1000bucks, well, hopefully it means something really good will happen for you in the near future. Good luck man
