Korg MicroStation review for Keyboard Magazine - complete with '80s shredding!

[CountYorik]

Subdivisions chords. Niiiiice.

[FSAYED04]

That was a really nice demo... how would compare this to Korg MicroArranger? which one would be better?

[mokkshaa]

Another musician who does shredding. That's sure original.

[Gracana]

@mokkshaa you'll be sorely disappointed if you expect Dave to take himself seriously. :P

[L77kim77l]

Thanks, you're great! :)

[jhonjhonbi]

[bradscicluna1]

ERUPTION!

[thetwinkleturnip]

Hi,

im a 14y teen, whos been playing harp for 8 years, bass for 1 year, and want to start to play keys.

i have no idea what to buy, and looking for +- 250 euros/300 dollars

i still need to learn the technique, so is this a good one to start with?

i want to use my keys in a band, like secondary for bass as primary, and use is for intro's and stuff.

What should i get?

Could anyone please help me with choosing something that is good to learn on (not to small keys) but useful live.

Thanks!

[frusciboy]

this guy has chops! hehe

[pro5896]

Can I use it with FL studio?

Can it control synths/sounds from my computer

MIDI controller function??

[MrJmarsh93]

@pro5896 yes you can use it with fl studio and as a midi controller

[evilmatt91]

question, hopefully you can answer this. is there a way so that when playing live, i can change from one preset quickly to another one without having to go searching through my microstation for them?

[Seekthetruth3000]

Good demo!

Thanks

[harrothahobo]

You're really good :) Also i'm gonna get one in spite of what stareoutsleepily said, as in my opinion it appears to be the easiest device to transition from piano to synth, for its price and use.

[RLbitClassica]

Quick question friend, when you say "quantize" the loop you made, is that when you make it to where the individual note inputs are set on preset "notches" within the bar? Sorry if my speech is confusing, but i had an alesis micron that did that very thing and i was wondering if that is the same thing.

[lobsterjamaima]

Dave, you are one of a kind. I cringe at most of the keyboard posts here but your posts are money! My gear line is 200a, 106, B-3, Voyager, micron, D6. I'm looking to play as duo with drummer. Do you have any advise? Should I make him play in time so I can sequence or just do everything live or sequence but adjust to accomodate the drummer? Thanks man. If I had any advise it would be for you to check out the RD-50 loop station. Keep it up man!!!

[Inverted314]

I'm not sure of the price. It's competitive with the Microkorg XL, but so close to the PS60. I'm digging the board, and the small size is interesting, but I just wonder if it would turn out to be more of a burden then it's usefulness.

[zzzxtreme]

@Inverted314

I get used to it the first day. but not for fast chord progression. the price of portability

[ekalb2185]

can you show me some guitar sounds? this is an awesome keyboard,it has a drum machine,piano sounds,Microstation has more than the Microkorg lol,that settles it I'm saving for a microstation and its in my price range too

[kariciu32]

and by the way... you have to do something about that "atrocity"! You can do better, don't let us down... a five year old could do it better..

[kariciu32]

I wold give it more like 3 stars.. 4 and a half is too much...

[ScootRush]

Sold.

[chromakey84]

queensryche baby!!

[barret707]

@chromakey84 beat me 2 it

[thericecrispy2]

ERUPTION!!

[pillowman552]

I started clapping when you started the dance music

[aquasaber]

Atrocity? Really? Axel F is one of Harold Faltermeyer's best works, right up there with the theme from Fletch. You sure you're okay, Dave?

[hamsterdunce]

@aquasaber Heh, yeah, the song is great! My rendition of it was the atrocity! :-D

[Rainman0029]

Egad, you didn't buy that piece of crack did you?

[Desmaad]

What brand of mixer are you using?

[WatchDragon]

makes me wish i would have stuck with playing keyboard, im almost 30 now and feel like i wouldn't be able to learn again (not like i was good before)

[AngusT07171]

@WatchDragon Do it

[kingminigunner]

No checkered armband this go-around? Great stuff as always!

[buchanan012]

silent lucidity! nice

[ROBOTISATTVA]

Dave RULEZ.
