The Microkorg the 'Honda Civic' of the synth world, and I wouldnt get rid of mine for all the tea in china! A brilliant little unit, got mine when they were first released.
@Simon Johnson I think it certainly *helps* to know your way around basic chords and where C is, just so you can embed some sound sequence pattern recognition in your head for while you're creating, but with synths it's more about tinkering to get the noise you need really, otherwise you'd just buy a keyboard! I'm certainly no high grade piano maestro, but I did grow up with one and messing about on it, and that did help when I started taking synthesis seriously. The main thing is just to have fun and try to create weird sounds and string them together though :)
I finally picked up a beat up microkorg less than a month ago, after watching your videos for close to a year. Thanks for all the knowledge you share on YT! You’re great!
Just got the microkorg s and this was the best video I've seen that perfectly explains how to use it. I legit felt like a glass broke in my head, in a good way
I have had MK for years and even with the knowledge I have gained from messing around and playing, I found this to be really informative and helpful. THX.
I've had 3 of them, & it wasn't until a few yrs ago that I actually learned how to program it. Before that, I thought it was just a so so beginner synth. Ha ha. I have a minilogue xd, & I can do most everything it does right here, & the nice thing about the micro: it doesn't freak out & lock up all the time like the minilogue lol. It truly is the synth that keeps on giving!
dismiss this as a "beginner synth" at your own peril . by the time i got a microkorg for 100 bucks i already had a juno 106, a juno 60, a roland sh 1000 , a "74 white face arp odyssey, the dave smith mopho a polysix and a poly 61m. etc. but the microkorg STILL blew my mind.. i use it live right next to my juno 60, because it does some awesome stuff , not in spite of what it is but BECAUSE of what it is!
I just got a microkorg Vocorder sythn and I didnt really grasp all the options It would have and I am very please with what Im experiencing and seeing from all these youtube posts. I already recognize a couple artists I like with the sounds Ive been experiencing making. Thank you for making these videos. I still have a lot to learn and Im eager as I grew up playing all sorts of instruments so the fact I can run an instrument through this synth and manipulate the sound is Amazing!
Thanks for this video, I’ve been thinking of getting a microkorg, but I’ve been hesitant because I’m a guitar player who knows nothing about synths. But you really presented this in a way that makes sense, even to me. And the nearly 30 minutes flew by. I’ll be watching more for sure, and I already subscribed. Too bad you don’t get commission from Korg. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people buy microkorgs after watching your videos. I know I’m about to order one right now. My poor neighbors... they have no idea what’s about to hit them. Lol
Ive had synths of all types since they were invented but I think I need to enrole at Yale to do a three year course how to program it! It appears to be an awesomely variable instrument that Im going to enjoy playing with! Great Video thats explained a lot THANKS.
So I’m looking into getting one of these just to expand what I can do so my music isn’t always necessarily sample based. I’m literally 5 seconds exactly into the video and I smashed like and subscribe straight up simply because of your insanely friendly and welcoming intro 🙌🏾
Thanks Daniel! Can't wait to watch this from start to finish this weekend and discover the never ending possibilities with my good ole microkorg. Keep it up! I'll buy you a coffee once my paycheck comes in
great video, just got the microkorg & I was wondering does anyone know how to go back to the live knobs function after modifying one of the edit? or is it not possible at all?
I just bought a microkorg, but I can't get it to play sound when I play the keys. I've got a guitar jack from OUTPUT L/MONO to my mixer amp. No midi or other inputs. Please help?
A low pass filter will filter out high frequencies and let low frequencies pass. Filter cutoff is the point where highs are cut. Filter cutoff peak will accentuate the cutoff. The resonance increases the sharpness of the peak, which can reveal harmonic content. Int=intensity bruh!
Thanks Daniel, I'm new to the micro korg finally purchased 1 from Kraft music just a week or so ago. [Kraft music is currently selling the platnum edition for $100.00 less then the original making it $299.00] I highly appreciate your tutorial videos, I find it is much easier to understand a physical hands on explanation then reading it in a book or manual. Thanks again I look forward to watching more of your videos and have subscribed so I can view anything new you care to share.👍👌🤘
thanks Daniel for sharing the video, I've just purchased the microkorg and completely new to it, though I have played guitar for decades so have picked up the basics. I am confused about the edit select dials. I understand that different sections and how to manipulate them with the control knobs and the corresponding lists for synth/vacoda written under each control knob. here's where I get confused, starting out for making a new sound, when I adjust the control knobs for VOICE and find the sound I want, I then move the edit select dial to PITCH. Then when I start changing the control knobs for PITCH what happens to the controls I had set for VOICE? Are they still part of the current sound? And when I keep moving through the edit select dial to OSC1,MIXER, FILTER,AMP etc. what happens to the previous edit select settings I have just set? Are they lost or do they keep adding to the sound? I hope this makes sense.
Hi! I just bought mine today and I was wondering how I might get sound out of it? I thought it would produce sound with the AC adapter, but I don’t hear anything. What would I have to connect it to to get the sound? Does connecting to just a speaker work?
That's the strangest question I've ever heard? 🥸 Of course you need headphones or a loudspeaker box! At the back of the device are the connections on the left side (headphones or line out). But maybe it's better to buy a keyboard with built-in speakers first. Casio has very nice models.
I’m around, but trying to figure out how to come back with content I can make sustainable. I have some cool ideas, but just need a lil time. Thanks for swinging by. Appreciate you!!
Hi Daniel! Thanks for your introduction to the microkorg. I am thinking about buying one for our band. We would like to have some synth-sounds in the background, sort of layers behind everything, which should last for a whole intro, for example. Is it possible to have like a latch-function on chords? i mean, is it possible to press down a chord and let go of the keys an have the notes ring on, like a latch-function, until you press a next chord?
Hi! Yes, a long release (knob 4) will help you achieve that sound. Turn that all the way up and the notes will play forever. Dial it back some and it will be reigned in a bit! Best of luck
Hi Daniel I was just wondering how well the synthesizer syncs with the other units ( like the minilogue which now has a full range of note resolution) please. Thank you very much you've got some great videos. And I've read a lot about the new microkorg or the newish ones and is it true that the original has a much higher build quality Because of because I've heard things about the microkorg XL/S which isn't encouraging. I don't know what you think of the mini Nova I like quite a few of the sounds had a lot of trouble playing the keyboard if I wanted to play fast but I've heard the microkorg keyboard is a fair bit better would that be a fair call.
Yes! There is a factory reset operation outlined in the manual. It's pretty straightforward. I would recommend making your own though! It's too much fun.
Hi Daniel, my Micro arrived this morning, so obviously i checked into your channel and went straight to this video to get started. Regarding the outputs, i've always used the headphone out on my Minilogue, using a 1/4 stereo jack adapter - into a 3mm phono jack - then the left/right phono connecters into left and right channels on my desk, with the left panned to the left and the right panned to the right, is this ok rather than running two seperate cables from the L/R outputs? Everything seems to work fine but following this tutorial, i find that when you get to 6.48, voice - single, the sound is much lower in volume than when it's changed to Layer. I've turned the synth off and back on to see if it will re-boot, just in case i have altered the volume in the settings but it's still the same. The synth main volume is turned to full and the volume is set at the desk, via the channel faders, as is the case with all my synths and modules, so as to get a clean input. Great tutorials, cheers.
people think its weird how defensive I am about my microkorg, I do a lot of experimental music and most people don't realize that the awesome sample they are hearing is in fact the microkorg
HEY DANIEL? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AM SEEING THIS VIDEO HERE BECAUSE I AM NOW LOOKING INTO THIS KORG MICRO.. BUT I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS NOW IN 2022 AND HOPE YOU CAN ANSWER THEM FOR ME... MY FIRST QUESTION IS: WHAT IS THE LITERAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS SYNTH AND THE KORG KING KORG? AND THE ROLAND SH 201 SYNTH AND THE ROLAND JD-XI SYNTH????? : / IM CONFUSED! PLEASE LET ME KNOW.. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
The Microkorg S has a built-in speaker and more presets and some empty slots (Microkorg has banks A and B per program and the Microkorg S also has C and D. Other than that it is exactly the same as the Microkorg
the best time to start is now! everyone starts somewhere and the great thing about synths is that you can learn the basics with just your ears. The Microkorg may have a higher learning curve, but there cheaper options that are easier to learn such as the Korg Volcas or Pocket Operators. I picked up a couple volcas and pocket operators in January and my life is changed - no creative blockage since then because its hard to run out of fun things to do :)
Hey!! I’ve been there too!! You can absolutely jump into the synth world. Practice and a manual go a long way. I hope you find your way and reach out if you have any questions. Good luck!
Same here man. Ive always wanted to get one but have no idea if I need courses or formal training etc. Feeling like just going for it..Ill be there with you lol
Hello I feel very clueless right now. I don’t understand a lot about synths and I try to do research and google everything but I’m still very confused. I just got a microkorg and I turn it on and there is no sound. I’m guessing because it goes through a midi? I don’t know I’m so confused. What do I need to buy to get this working? I have an interface and speakers.
I believe it can only have audio when connected through headphones/an amp/ or midi cable-usb on your computer. Unless you bought the microKorg with built in speakers
Sorry for this really stupid question (I’m new to the synth world). but can this make sound on its own. Like a regular keyboard/piano?? I think the keyboards that can’t make sounds on their own are called midi, right?? Please help me out I’m so confused about everything all the time oof.
The space between the controls and the keys could have been used to make the keys regular size without affecting the compact size of the synth.I would have designed it differently.It is a nice synth though.Not a fan of compact keys.
I use a JC120 and run it through the back inputs to bypass the amp and get straight to the speakers. It doesn’t change the sound at all but i’m not sure how it’d work by plugging it through the front of the amp
You can just use a stereo receiver plug-in's in the back. Of coarse you have to have speakers as well. I have used it this way for many years. I also have a 4 track cassette recorder, and a cd recorder connected to the receiver as well. If you don't have a receiver and speakers you can get one on Craigslist at a reasonable price these days. Oh and I have a mixer connected as well with 2 other keyboards.....all into the receiver. Much better this way than Just an amp.
I guess I need something with analog capabilities especially I want a Hammond b-3 sound and the fender Rhodes sound. Can somebody Facebook me thank you
@@surefmeurope5766 it's got great rhodes sounds and everything else under the sun but one real organ sound. My Yamaha has more organ sound than the r3. I fool around with the knobs. Also I'm trying baba o'riley just for fun and dont get fooled again and wondering where on earth are those pulsing sounds. It's another rhodes sound but pulsating. Like I said I don't have a computer either
Next time, either be in frame for the whole synth, or shoot some b roll and attach it while you're talking.. because not doing it just feels like you're being kinda lazy ;) haha good video anyways. Keep improving.
For idiots why didn't you start with what you plugged it into because I just got one and it is quieter than a church mouse. Do you have something against idiots?

once you play with the edit select, how do you go back to the knobs like when u first pressed the preset?

How to come back in main menu (cutoff, resonance, attack, release) after I turned selector and add some effects?
