    Thanks for actually playing it and letting everyone see that it is fairly playable for a micro keyboard. Most reviews just talk about buttons, knobs and pads and completely ignore the keybed despite that being the most important part. Cheers.

    • @jonathanbeny
      @jonathanbeny 4 роки тому +1

      but thats literally all this one is, it has no knobs or pads

    • @justdope1963
      @justdope1963 4 роки тому +2

      @@jonathanbeny That's why I like it. I had the Arturia Minilab MK2 before and to be perfectly honest I don't like cheap pads anyway, so I never used them. I prefer just some decent keys. Other stuff just takes up space and removes portability. When I want pads I use my Maschine MK3 at home. This is just my own preference though.

  • @squeakD
    @squeakD 4 роки тому +5

    I just went through two of the 49 key versions. Had to return both because there is a velocity issue Korg hasn’t addressed. Velocity is too low. First one wouldn’t go past 113 on the standard velocity setting, and wouldn’t exceed 123 at highest velocity setting just before “fixed” velocity. The second keyboard I got did the same, but managed to go slightly higher than the previous one. These keyboards should be able to hit 1-127 at the standard velocity curve of 4. It’s a shame because Korg IMO has the best micro key action out there, and they nailed the sweet spot with the size of them too.

    I used to have the MicroKEY 37, It broke by itself (wouldn't turn on anymore) and when I went to check Korg forums, there were many posts by people complaining their MicrokEYs wouldn't turn on, Korg support was nonexistent. Some guy who knew more about electronics opened his and found a faulty component inside and managed to fix his but since I don't know anything about the inner workings, I just threw mine away and will never buy a Korg anymore.

    Hello !, I just saw your Nektar se25 review, about between those two, which one you'd choose ? I saw reviews and the Microkey looks better in the feel, but the black keys ooks so little in it. it make a difference with the se25 , maybe more confortable ?
    Thk for the reviews btw

      @Johnmike  4 роки тому +1

      Korg definitely has better “action” but the keys are thin and a little awkwardly spaced...but it’s playable...just takes a little but of getting used to...the nektar is more of your standard feel on a micro keyboard...but has some great features compared to the korg
