Guest sirch Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 haha, you bought a microkorg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Look at the number of Indie bands who use Microkorgs. Look at how many like it so much they put it on their album covers (I know it's more than two). The Microkorg is the closest 00s synthesizers came to being iconic. Maybe that means it will be worth cash money in 20 years if aging hipsters get nostalgic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptowen Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I've always thought the MS-2000 was one of the nicer sounding popular VAs, so probably. Anyway, Obel, you'll probably have better luck unloading this thing on non-electronic musicians. I sold the Microkorg I had when I was 12 to a guitar player for $350 a few years back.

Cryptowen Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 To be fair the MK is perfectly capable as far as VA hardware goes. I think it just gets a bad rep because A. The control panel might not feel intuitive to people used to analog knobs or a DAW (aka most of WATMM) B. A lot of the presets are quite cheese (though I seem to remember one SnH oceanic type patch that was quite nice) C. For a long time it was the most affordable & widely available synth going so naturally it was used in a lot of terrible band music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sirch Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 you can overwrite the presets. just like any other synth but, you can't escape from the program/patch/sound selection dial, and where it's clearly labelled on the front of the synth... in music genres... "drum 'n bass", "hip hop", etc. etc. don't get me wrong, great little synth, for the travelling hipster, or lazy would-be musician on a budget. or youtube artist.

Boxus Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 lol, people will hate on anything to show off their elitism. a microkorg can be great if you use it right. you say it sucks because indie bands use it and the pattern banks have dumb names? those are stupid, elitist reasons to hate something. functionally, it's perfectly fine. i bought one used 9 years ago and i don't plan on getting rid of it.

So no chance. i wouldn't bother mate there's not much point really, unless you find one dirt cheap and you don't have a lot of spare doe. just pay a bit more if you can and get something like the MS-2000, and play wit the big-er boys. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 the ms2000 is basically microkorg minus knob diving. it's a true VA. the MK is a VVA. I love how no one is talking about buying Obel's. It's stil worth $400 new. A fair price to sell one in good condition would be $200-$250. go to independently owned music shop.

ryancolecreate Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 ya it will basically do everything the ms-2000 will, but you really need an editor to get at it all. It's go the guts, just not the interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's go the guts, just not the interface. except (if i remember correctly), you can't address both the timbres separately on separate MIDI channels - they have to be triggered together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
