    To turn the speaker off turn the edit select 2 knob to global and then turn the release pot and it will show on/off on the lcd.

    Nice intro to the MicroKorg. You can turn the speckers off in the global settings, which will stay off untill you turn it back on.

    Hello!
    The Microkorg S has picked up my interest recently, and I'm curious about this things si vous plais to answer.
    1. does it have a Piano patch? e.g. the MicroKORG XL which is the one I have has the SG Piano sound, is not a concert grand, but it defends as a Piano sound patch
    2. what other keyboard type sounds it has? like, rhodes? tines? etc.
    3. about the poliphony, the specifications says is only 4 voices for synth sounds, so... I've experienced the limitations of using pedal though midi and have a feel of the low poliphony it has on that side, is it 4 ... few? like, playing as piano, would be 6 voices at least
    Thank you

    My Novation MiniNova obviously took inspiration from the Korg Microkorg, I have a MiniNova.

    • @AMSOLO420
      @AMSOLO420 2 місяці тому +1

      They're similar... and I'm sure you're right about them taking inspiration from the micro. I have both, & a number of more high end synths... but once I got into editing initialized patches & yes, it's a lot of menu diving, but you can do soooo much with it! If used properly it is the synth that keeps on giving lol. Both the micro & the mini! I find the sound engine in the Korg, especially in the wave tables, LFOs, & FX sections, the Korg not only gives you a lot more choices, but it just seems laid out better. The only thing I will say is.... its sure nice having a big screen on the mini. The micro & its "80s alarm clock" screen where a U with a line over it means a W lol...
      It can be tough to know what they all mean, but if you're famiar with ADSR type synths, you already know most of it anyways.

      @AMSOLO420 Looks like Korg put some of the look and features of the Mininova into there new MiniKorg, but that new one kinda leaves the original and the Nova in the dust in terms of features and look. Still the new Minikorg isn't different enough from the Mininova for Me to replace it. I haven't got soace for loads of Physical synths.

      @HOLLASOUNDS yeah I'm mad I re re bought another micro about 3 months before the 2 was released. That was stupid. I bought for nostalgic reasons, & I don't use it hardly ever. It's never even been to a gig, or even left the studio lol. Wanna buy it lolol? Know someone who does? Let me know!

      @@AMSOLO420 Well I think many of us havr the same issue, its great having hardware but its all around more difficult to set up, often not good to move around. I have Midi keyboard, and a few physical synths and everything needed on my desk but I'm on the other side of the room most the time making music with nothing but the laptop and plugins. I can't be bothered to sit down at My desk.

    Of course, I can be wrong, but for some reason there is such a feeling and such an opinion that the first original microkorg sounds somehow richer and more pleasant. What do you think about this, that one sounds better, and the second is better thought out

      @johanneschristopherstahle3395 Рік тому +2

      The XL does have a different sound engine and thus sounds different. THE OG and S share the same engine (taken from the MS2000). A huge difference as well is that the XL is harder to program, because you have only one knob to adjust the values + 2 other knobs to navigate the menues. Some key parameters can be changed a bit easier, but if you want to start from scratch, you have to dive deep into the menues of the XL.
      If you only want to use presets or use the editing software, the XL can be quite nice.
      It sounds a bit more hi-fi in a way, but misses some of the edge and character of the OG. Some sounds do sound quite different, others are almost the same (you can upload the factory patches from the OG into the XL. I did it to compare their sounds.)
