microkorg vs microkorg XL

just get a vst synth

Cammon man, everybody here have to disrespect somebody to feel they are really interesting. I have had the microkorg and try the R3 as well, I just want to know the opinions of other users, simply as that. to hear other people discussing something gives you details you can contrast later on the shop while trying the synth

I like the look of the XL, but I think it's still a little bit pricey for what it is.

I had the microkorg and it was a fun little synth but hated the keys. I have a micron now which is much better for playing although programming it without a software editor takes a little getting used to. Can't compare with the XL though I am afraid.

As for the suggestions of "if you're gonna go hardware you've gotta go analog" - ignore these. Analog has it's place, but so does digital.

yo i think everyone knows the looks aint a bit important when spendin doe on a machine...its about quality and what it has to offer.

i've had the microkorg for a little over a year and its my first synth. i like it, but i still havent got used to the keys. i can play it, but the keys are still a nuisance sometimes. im definetly upgrading to something else in the future...to what, idk yet. but for the time being, im content with the microkorg. i paid 220 for mine

i fried up me microkorg back around christmas time.... still haven't replace it yet but
NOW imma thinkin of gettin the R3-korg... much more 2 offer then the microkorg... & only$200 more
for ur BANG.... truss & pleezbelieve all that

Now, I could definetly go for something like that.

rackmount=no thanks

**** korg! buy 3 E-mu rack synths for the same price as 1 microkorg and get a midi controller (what i use my micro korg for) however if your goin for the lil jon sound then do what u do

Finally I got a Moog Voyager.... Pure analog madness!!! That was the bytch I was looking 4 Incredible sound

Just curious to know if there are any software plug ins/instruments that emulate the microkorg? (I dont have room for anymore hardware!)

Not cheap but worthy. About 1900 dolars. Peace
