Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)You know those reviews that say, "If it was stolen I'd buy another?" Well my MicroKorg WAS stolen! I was a proud MicroKorg owner for years when unfortunately someone pilfered it right out of my car.
And as much competition as there is in the market right now for tiny but powerful analog modelling MIDI synths, I came back to the original MicroKorg because it just feels so right.
I will spare you a review of the actual keyboard... you can check out the standalone item if you want reviews of the keyboard. This review is to focus more on the bundle itself.
Pros:
Bundled stand and bag for the same price as a standalone MicroKorg
Bag bears Korg logo, is very nice quality for a free bag
Cons:
Keyboard stand is universal X style frame, with an adjustable bracket in the center that widens the X. There are 5 different settings for height and width but 3 of them are too wide to hold the MicroKorg. The only two settings that work bring the micro korg up to belly button and then armpit level when standing so forget about using this stand and sitting in a chair.
Other thoughts:
I have owned this synth for 5 years since it was new and even today I will listen to the radio and hear a preset from this synth on a recording. Gorillaz, Mates of State, Chromeo, Crystal Castles, LCD Soundsystem, Metric, Royksopp, and lots of struggling indie bands just to name a few.
This should tell you that the sounds are not faddish! For being a digital modelling synth it comes as close to recreating a fat analog sound as any setup that costs thousands of dollars more. Plus it is small enough to slip in a backpack for shows... if you've ever had to lug around an actual vintage analog synth or organ, it's well worth the tradeoff! You lose nothing in quality and gain so much in portability and accessibility. Buy it!
