@lucariopokemon1268 SAME HERE ^_^ haha i have been playing one of those cheap like 20$ keyboards or whatever just to mess with synths for like 3 years.. :P finally getting the real shit ^_^
In your opinion. Is the microkorg XL much better than this one ? Is he able to do these big sounds like the one at 0:49 ? cause I want to buy a synth and I'm hesitating between simple microkorg and microkorg XL.
@AlexStasXXXParanoid Not really. The whole point of the microKORG is to get away from keyboards that play piano sounds and get back to synthesizer sounds that you can't make with anything else, although there may be a few decent organ sounds on the microKORG. But also keep in mind it's got tiny keys. Its made for the electronic dance niche. Go get a rompler if you're looking for the piano organ string brass acoustic guitar upright bass saxophone stuff and forget the microKORG.
hey this is jeffwwerock17, as you said in your description you own these songs and we need permission to use them well my band is going to start making songs with my microkorg that i got today, and i want to know if i can use the first song that you played as an intro for one of our songs?
hey, this is jeffwwerock17 and im getting a microkorg 2morow, also we are using it to makes songs with our band and you said that you own the songs and you need your permission to use them so im asking for permission to use the first song that you played? we need it as a melody
Can you record on the microkorg and if so can you transport it to your pc as mp3 files for example? Im new to this. Sorry for the newb questions. Btw, you can make some good DNB with the stuff you were playing. :) Peace
You can't record on the microKORG itself, it has MIDI out so you could record MIDI information to your computer, or use the 'out's on the back to record to your comp using cables. Don't worry eveyone has to start somewhere =] And thanks, Ill keep that in mind!
@GaxAngel how are the lows on this piece? I was deciding between this and the xl...also how do the sounds feel compared to software synths because i saw somewhere that regardless that this was technically handheld everything was digital with this... just making sure that thats BS and buying this is a good idea...
@GaxAngel what exactly do you need to record it on the computer cause i really want to start making songs with my synth but i have no idea what to do -_-
@hiddenfoxfilms There are many ways. Depeding on your budget though. 1) Jack to mini jack, a simple cable that goes from your synth (jack) to your line-in (mini jack) on your computer. Sometimes line-in might be called mic. 2) Another simple way is a mixing desk with USB input for recording, easy to set-up. If you have the money a Firewire sound card is probably best, although requires more technical know-how (I personally use a Audiofire 2 by Echo). You also need a recording program.
@GaxAngel Continued: Audacity is a great free program to start with, has a lot of features you can muck around. Eventually once you get better you could invest in some more professional software like Cubase, Pro tools or Adobe Soundbooth etc, or Fruity loops for it's ease of use. When you are used to recording you should start to learn about controlling 'soft synths' (computer based sound generators) which you can control via the MIDI in and out on your microkorg, or any other synth you have.
@todei79 I asked a guy at best buy about that, he said if you have a mac it works really great for that. So when I save up enough money, I'm getting a mac and a microkorg. bwahaha
@glitchinga: Actually the first patch was made by me. Also 'rough video for people to see the synth', this was thrown together in 5 minutes over 3 years ago when I first got the synth, to show a few people, not to showcase any skill, or to show people my synthesizing abilities. Nowadays virtually my whole microKORG is custom patches.
i still don't understand how to edit the sounds...can u make a simple tutorial about the different knobs and what do they do to the outcome of the sounds?
thanks yall. Ima go with the xl just cuz i heard the sound quality is better and it has more patches or whatever to things like the vocoder. the useability i'll figure out.
I've played around with an XL a littttlle bit at music stores.
It's got Drum sounds, Piano, and other fun presets. to be honest (a lot of people seem to think otherwise) The keys and body of the XL feel a little dinky to me, doesn't feel very sturdy. I don't know how else to explain that...
But right off the bat I felt the regular microKORG has a better/clearer interface and is easier to mess around with sounds.
The XL has better key action. It has better sound (that of course is a subjective point of view), it has some pretty amazing pcm instruments including a very nice Wurlitzer and Piano, E-piano and orchestral strings etc. In addition to this is does the analog modeling bit extremely well. But is it better than the old Microkorg ? Actually no. They are just a little bit different thats all. I got both. Couldn't decide. So now I play them in tandem. The bit starting at 0.58 is bloody amazing btw!
Yea you can just hook it up to any amp with a normal instrument cable and it works just fine, no laptop needed. it has no drum sounds really, I wouldn't recommend it if you were using it for that reason.
Hey man love it. Can i plug this into an amp? or does it have to be hooked into laptop at all times. If i could program beats in this that would be great.thanks hope u can help.
Squeegly646: Yea a lot of people pair it with a Kaoss pad. This is 2 years old, I now have, the microKORG, Juno G and an Electribe ESX-1. I should really get some more videos up, but I'm creatively lazy atm =[ lol.
Is there a freeze function for this synth? So for example, could you play a chord, make it continue playing once you have stopped pressing the keys, then go on to play something else over the top of it? Thanks
I'm sorry I can't tell you the settings I factory preset my microKORG, but the second song is a preset patch, I can't remember the number off by heart but its B something... and I think I may have lowered the octave, hope that helps.
first two tunes is workin it , especialy the second , maybe the fourth , dunno, i want to see ya workin thet secont tune with a beat for real , have ya got an emx1?
stevenp921: 1:This may be an obvious response but apart from trial and error another general tip is too read the manual, you'll learn many new terms and you gain so much. Even experts read manuals for a new synth to get used to all the new layout and different control setups.
2: If you want to create your own sounds and not use the starting patches *GET THE FREE SOUND EDITOR* and hook it up to your comp via MIDI, it's so much easier than the on board controls.
arr cool mate will ya send me the settings fo the midle cool bit of ur tune that high pitch arpegio thing on ur microkorg. just got mine 2day im tryin 2 learn bliss by muse but i dont now any settings thanks
Secondly I don't have a mac unfortunately, but, I think you change the patches in the same way as a windows pc.
You need a MIDI hub to your comp, I use MIDISPORT 2x2. connect your Korg up, on both MIDI in and out. Download the free sound editor for the microKORG on the Korg website.
Turn write protect off, shift+8 then turn first knob and you should be able to write and create patches easier! Hope that helps.
It may seem long and boring, but if you're new to synths, read through the manual and look up tips on forums, it helps a great deal... or even just push all the buttons and see what they do :)
I've been looking at info and researching this instrument for the past month or so. I want one so bad, and this video makes me SO envious and jealous that I don't have one! Lmao. I also checked out your MySpace page and added you.
I knew of it before it had been released... and I just sat there waiting day in and day out with no synth, cos I couldn't really afford any other one lol.
Thanks for the support!
Hopefully buying a new synth for xmas, so keep a look out for a new video =]
When I have my friends round they usually turn up my p.a and press random notes and it still sounds good haha. But obviously you can still tell the difference when someone knows how to play lol.
one of the few people who actually noticed it was Aeris' theme! Well done haha. I know what you mean, even though its on the cheaper side of synths its still a lot of money to most people. =[ thank God for rich parents.
Thanks for help, my problem is that I want to mix the melodie that i play on the synth with beats, maybe i make this on pc but i dont know if the beat can agree with the synth! I need a synth for making techno but the microKorg is quite cheap as other ones, do you know other cheap synth? ps: you are pretty good at playing microkorg, respect!
This is so late but is that a song youre playing in the intro? Or improv? Id love to steal it from you if you would allow me to :D

Fieldy 63 nailed it...
It may seem long and boring, but if you're new to synths, read through the manual and look up tips on forums, it helps a great deal... or even just push all the buttons and see what they do :)

I've been looking at info and researching this instrument for the past month or so. I want one so bad, and this video makes me SO envious and jealous that I don't have one! Lmao. I also checked out your MySpace page and added you.

Haha you will get it one day =]
I had that feeling for a while!
I knew of it before it had been released... and I just sat there waiting day in and day out with no synth, cos I couldn't really afford any other one lol.
Thanks for the support!
Hopefully buying a new synth for xmas, so keep a look out for a new video =]

That was awesome! i was gonna buy one the other day..dont know why i didnt :( 5 friggin stars!

You should go out and buy it, seriously.
When I have my friends round they usually turn up my p.a and press random notes and it still sounds good haha. But obviously you can still tell the difference when someone knows how to play lol.
thanks for the compliment =]

Hey, what functions does it has as a vocoder? What stuff can you do with the microphone?
danielx50 4 years ago
It doesn't have the best vocoder I've heard, but it certainly isn't useless, you can modulate your voice to quite a large degree...
I believe its 16 band, i could be wrong.
I'm not sure about all the technical details but if you find the manual online for the microkorg it will tell you everything

Aeris's Theme!!! Dude, that is awesome! lol - Watching this really makes me want to go out and buy a microKorg ,alas I still need to save... lol
Matt11558 4 years ago
one of the few people who actually noticed it was Aeris' theme! Well done haha. I know what you mean, even though its on the cheaper side of synths its still a lot of money to most people. =[ thank God for rich parents.

Dude.. your first synth part was so awsome.. do you have tabs for that?
ShiShio8 4 years ago
=] thanks... give me some time to write up the tabs, its copyrighted tho lol, so you cant write your own beat to it without permission =P
if you wanna see how i put it in a song then check out the page. It's not finished I still have to record vocals, and make the drums better.

yo....in your opinion....wats a better machine??
the microKorg or the alesis micron?
thanks

There's recently been a strong rivalry between these two! They are both excellent value for money. I would personally go with the Alesis.
But it's close, i recommend you look at the reviews for both :)
Hope that helps.
GaxAngel 4 years ago
Thanks for help, my problem is that I want to mix the melodie that i play on the synth with beats, maybe i make this on pc but i dont know if the beat can agree with the synth! I need a synth for making techno but the microKorg is quite cheap as other ones, do you know other cheap synth? ps: you are pretty good at playing microkorg, respect!
