J3FF3R00 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm way into both. I've messed with the R3 more and think the vocoder is a bit nicer. It also has the USB/midi, has larger keys and seems easier to navigate. There is also a $100 rebate for the R3 with KORG at the moment, which brings it down to about $550 (from $650). On the other hand... The microKORG is cheaper ($399 new), more popular, uses batteries and is being re-released in a collectible black-for-white-key design that makes it look like a little harpsichord with a vocoder (for about $450). But it's tiny. My other keyboard is a KORG Polysix, so I want a complimentary instrument that can compare, if possible. If any of you have either, or have any thoughts, they are greatly appreciated. Thanks! :smiling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneaksta303 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 well, i have a microkorg, but i basically just use it for midi and vocoder purposes. The sounds aren't great but I would never use the audio from it anyway so whatever. The synths in Reason make so many hardware synths obsolete imo.

National Park Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 sort of wish id never bought a microkorg. the small keys are irritating, limited polyphony and it just sounds a little too digital. plus, korg have been repairing it since 2nd november. 5 broken keys is gonna cost me £150! more than half the price i paid for it. id spent a bit more and get the R3, worth it in the long run.
