    Can you believe that after all these years, I searched UA-cam for this video to hear this guy play this solo again?

    @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.

  • @KorgOfficial

    @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.

  • @KorgOfficial

    The microKORG XL does not have a dedicated pedal input, but it can be used with any external controller using the MIDI IN port.

  • @megalorganiste

  • @KorgOfficial
    @KorgOfficial  14 років тому

    @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.

    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.

  • @backeni3
    @backeni3 12 років тому

    That's is a freakin AWESOME synth!!

  • @r5t6y12
    @r5t6y12 13 років тому +2

    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.

    Very nice indeed!! does anybody know if the entire backing track is made on the Xl??

  • @KorgOfficial
    @KorgOfficial  13 років тому

    @adrielbote Yes, you can do this using the microKORG XL's MIDI input.

    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

  • @KorgOfficial
    @KorgOfficial  13 років тому

    @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.

  • @KorgOfficial
    @KorgOfficial  14 років тому +1

    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).

  • @KorgOfficial
    @KorgOfficial  13 років тому

    @Wiivified There are some presets that recreate kick and snare drums, but they use modeling synthesis instead of samples.

  • @hammertlme
    @hammertlme 14 років тому

    does this let you input and record mp3 format music through the usb port or headphone port and live remix songs like that?

  • @megamattlolz
    @megamattlolz 13 років тому

    @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...

  • @FallingIslands

  • @krossdude35
    @krossdude35 12 років тому +2

  • @hac291
    @hac291 12 років тому

    Is there a way to shortcut back to sounds that you use a lot?

  • @paulyllow
    @paulyllow 2 роки тому +1

    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?

  • @Ismahairie

  • @lepledge
    @lepledge 13 років тому

    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.

    @TheOrganiston9th 11 років тому

    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?

  • @KorgOfficial
    @KorgOfficial  13 років тому

    @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.

    @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.

  • @henkarars
    @henkarars 12 років тому

    @Spodlude That is so low. Hate those thing when they do like this...

  • @luuus1
    @luuus1 13 років тому

    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! :)

  • @PhantomWarlock
    @PhantomWarlock 14 років тому

    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

  • @KorgOfficial
    @KorgOfficial  13 років тому

    @lepledge The microKORG XL doesn't have built-in speakers. You'll need either headphones or some kind of amplification system.

  • @adrielbote
    @adrielbote 13 років тому

    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!!!
