Can you believe that after all these years, I searched UA-cam for this video to hear this guy play this solo again?
maaan years a go i was dealing with the same problem xddd
In 2022 too
I saw your comment and thought he was done playing midway through, and then the credits hit and I instantly understood why you want to hear it again lol
yes
He kills it! Beautiful playing
@arpodyssey1 This is an original composition by Rich, who is demonstrating the microKORG XL in this video (and he appreciates your compliment). All the sounds in the song come from the microKORG XL.
Best product demo song I've heard in the end. Period.
Demo Jam at the end is just pure Awesome! The rest of the Demo is good too. Def on my want list.
The dude shreds !
Go ahead, grab those knobs
That demo was damn inspiring. That dude can play. I really like the aesthetic of it. That 80's look is sweet.
Fantastic fun retro synth, we love em!!
hi 2022
That closing jam is unbelievable! Beautiful playing. Great video overall as well. Thank you so much for sharing.
I come here regularly to see Rich Formidoni performance.
Those tunes at the end are sick. Come to my house and play them non-stop for 3 days while I just lie there in awe.
Love this instructional video from the ‘80s
I hope korg will release an updated version of this xl. I like the piano sound of this thing
Amazing solo at end. Brilliant.
i got this, and it is awesome, highly recommended. with 128 CHANGEABLE sounds the possibilities are endless and the built in vocoder is just an amazing bonus
6:18 Is he singing the on-screen technical specifications with his vocoder?
the solo blew my mind
I've had this ever since it came out. Fantastic sounding. Vocoder Arpegiator
@bawzofgray- It definitely can. It works with USB or standard MIDI connections, and the editor software features a CC map section that allows you to customize the controls.
I want this dude to come play at my party
The microKORG XL does not have a dedicated pedal input, but it can be used with any external controller using the MIDI IN port.
Excellent synth, amazing !
@jc955 It's called Formant Hold. Check page 56 in your manual for the procedure. In this video, it's done using preset B38- "A Male," where the third knob (while knobs are in ASSIGN mode) is set to the EF.SENS parameter. Just set the knobs to ASSIGN, crank that third knob up all the way while feeding a vowel sound into the mic, and once the display says "HOLD," you've stored the vowel sound. Next, use the other two knobs to modify it as you play.
This video + playing with this beastly machine at Guitar Center have officially sold this product for me. I NEED MONEY!!!
At 1:08 the piano tone was SO good for a synth. The quality of the classic piano tone is a huge factor in how I rate instruments.
That's is a freakin AWESOME synth!!
There is 1 feature that I'd like to tell you a little bit about. I don't even know if most people know about this (I discovered it by accident 2 days ago).
If you are playing a solid note and holding it, and then you change the octave selector 2 or 3 octaves in either direction WHILE still HOLDING DOWN the 1st note, if you then play a 2nd note somewhere else on the keyboard without removing your 1st finger from the keyboard, you'll hear a 2nd note anywhere from 3 steps to 4 octaves apart.
buddy kills it at the end!
I fucking love this guy!!!!!
KORG needs to put him in every commercial and I'll buy all their shit!!!!
I wanna feel like he feels. Better buy a Korg!!!
Very nice indeed!! does anybody know if the entire backing track is made on the Xl??
@adrielbote Yes, you can do this using the microKORG XL's MIDI input.
cant wait for mine to come in the mail lol!
@megamattlolz Yes, it is suitable for live performance. Its metal construction is very rugged.
It's my baby!!!
that's great dude....i just got my dj mixer today....the pioneer djm-400......good luck with your new korg dude....
The guy rocking out at the end is hilarious
I love my Xl
I’m using the windows editor. Amazing.
My question is if I buy 1 more or 2-3-4 more.
Can I have many xl on one system and use the editor on each xl at the same time ???
I’m using cubase daw
these are soooo fun i played one at guitar center and now i kinda want one
@fhagaff No, the microKORG XL doesn't sample (although it can freeze a vowel sound using the Formant Hold features). You may want to check into the microSAMPLER.
Yes, you can overwrite any of the preset sounds (and you can always reload the factory sounds right from the keyboard, with no disk or computer connection needed).
@Wiivified There are some presets that recreate kick and snare drums, but they use modeling synthesis instead of samples.
does this let you input and record mp3 format music through the usb port or headphone port and live remix songs like that?
@KorgUSAVideos thanks very much, would the gooseneck mic be suitable for gigging? I'm not planning on throwing the microkorg around but it doesn't look too stable. I have no problem with buying a more stable mic if so...
I want this!
Pretty amazing...even in 2019
¿Simplemente con conectarlo a unos altavoces ya suena o tiene que ser conectado a un pc?.
it really is fun to look at
that dude is awesome!
great video but cannot decir between the MICROKORG S n this KORG XL+...which is more versatile to desing sounds??.. any advice?? thank you =)
Ive got a microkorg xl and love it to pieces. the only thing I would have liked on it is a loop recorder (that can overdub), but its awesome as it is! :D
Is there a way to shortcut back to sounds that you use a lot?
Can Korg make a version of this with the speaker in Microkorg S, with drum track and 4 midi track loopers, arppegio and motion effect, and sound set for singer/songwriter that like to play and rec, not programming dance pattern/beat?
awesome! is this the best synth from korg? im looking for one. small and yet big sound!
That guy's skilled!
wow look at this guy...his eyes are different colours,cool!!!!!!!!
This Monologue Microfreak Mininova (Previously owned) which one would you recommend?
@MarctheDarc ah the microsampler is that latest sampler they put out? i heard good things about it but if its that shitty il becarfull to buy it and will go for a roland sp 404 sx then :)
does any one know if you have to hook it up to some sort of sound system for it to even make any noise (this could be a deal breaker for me.
So much innuendo!
does any one know if you need it to be hook up to some sort of speaker for it to make noise of does it have a speaker(this could be a deal breaker).
The XL+ has a really good Mellotron strings patch - the best I've heard yet in an under $1 thousand keyboard. Does the XL have this patch as well, and are there more than one Mellotron strings variations?
@MarctheDarc Our editor software runs just fine in the latest versions of Windows 7 and Mac OSX 10.6.6. Please contact your local distributor's product support department for some assistance.
I like the two big knobs
Anyone know how to get the ac piano sound like its got a sustain pedal press down on it? Thanks
If I were to buy a microkorg xl wat speakers should I buy for the best sound live?
@KorgUSAVideos Thanks for the reply! I'm a total really newbie at using synths and these technologies.. So far, i havent seen a video that uses a different (full-sized) keyboard controlling the microkorgXL...
Thanks again!
Rich Formidoni is a badass. I like the way he walks off at the end.
does this have preset banks that u can save on, like on the microkorg?
Thanks! I take it that would be the same for the R3 as well?
is the microphone included or do u have to buy it separately?
How do you do the Formant hold function like they say at abou 3:00 of the video? I have the XL and im not even sure how to do it! lol
@Spodlude That is so low. Hate those thing when they do like this...
Well i got this thing anyway, you care to tell me how you make ARP-button on, and changing to the next instrument at the same time?
i have a question about the drums. in another video on youtube, its called "Yakitori Song - KORG microKORG XL with GarageBand". when you watch this video and pause at about 21 seconds, you see the display saying "A 29 SYN DRUM". But in all the reviews and product descriptions i read and watched, nobody ever mentioned drums. i'm thinking about buying one and it's important for me to know if there are drums (and how many different ones) and how do i find them on the XL? please mb.
thanks a lot! :)
well are they like press a single button presets? like fast access? because i dont see any. I think i need to move the knobs to change the preset
@lepledge The microKORG XL doesn't have built-in speakers. You'll need either headphones or some kind of amplification system.
I wonder, can I use a different (full-sized) keyboard to play the microKorg XL? That case, the microKorgXL will act just as a sound module.. Thanks!!!
how do get the sounds from the old one and put them on the xl without deleting the presets
@KorgUSAVideos
Does it include a beat function?
got one, I recommend it.
Keen to get my hands on one of these things :)
this dude is enjoying himself too much lol. rock out man!
where can i find the music that’s playing in the background????
Does this synth have built in speakers or do i need a line out?
I'm saving money for one! I WANT IT! :D
i couldn't deicde a couple of days ago but from watching loads of videos like this im going to get the xl and from reading comment's people say the xl has a better sound
Can anyone tell me after I connect the microKORG XL midi to my pc can I record it on Acid pro 9??
Is it any expensive?? And i wanna know, is there footswitch and foot controller options on it?? Cuz ive seen some recent synths that didnt have any of them
Can i use this with sibelius 6 as a midi controller?
New to synths : can a Microkorg XL be loaded with your own WAV files like on the Microsampler?
Is the red colour model still being produced? Fantastic colour! I'm in the UK if that makes any difference.
One question... can this run in Sony Acid and Fl Studio? I may get it if it can.
damn, this is class!
I bet Formidoni could play a dead rat and make it sound like the coolest instrument in the world
How do you get the knobs to bite? That wasn't discussed in the guided tour.
Can you record and loop with it? And can you use it for FL studio? What is the size of those keys? Please answer.
Does this synth have onboard speakers?
Please finish the last song. It´s very exciting!!!!! Using vocoder is the greatest part of your supersong.!!!!!
anyone know how I can trigger this synth through my logic sequencer setup?
@korg can I get that AM Bass sound in the Kross 2? If so, I'll buy one friday!
@henkarars he has put it through some kind of layering editor. Im assuming its connected to a computer or sampler. It can only do 2 instruments at a time. They've just edited the video to make the product look better
Would this work with a Macbook pro 15" ???
