bought a really battered one of these about six months ago as a cheap (ish) way of getting some analog (and indeed some polyphony) into my cheapy-cheapo pocket-money set-up. i love it to bits. beats a real piano any day.
i'm sorry to end this with a plug, but you can check out some of my music on my channel :)
I just found an LP 10 on Craigslist and picked it up for $80....based on this demo video, I though it may have some potential. The keyboard came with the original vinyl case. I may buy a Korg monotron and have a very inexpensive all analog synth!!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks for not playing a bunch of crazy solos to show the extent of the keyboard. As a reference to that "not a demo of my skills as keyboard player", I think alot of people try to show off their skills a little too much, so much to the point that we can't even hear the decay and the result of the other effects.
The microkorg is a fun little digital synthesizer but I highly doubt you'd get the same kinda sound quality as in Korg's vintage models... they tend to sound amazing. If you're looking for a similar effect, most sounds in the video are pretty basic. You could probably patch them with any polyphonic synthesizer. It actually reminds me of a somewhat fatter Juno. Anyway, what moog did you get? (...and why are you even thinking about a Nord Lead?)
yeah, I've had quite a few moments of enlightenment within the last 7 months haha. I have a Moog LP, and a recently acquired Voyager RME. I did buy the Nord Lead back in September, and I have to say, it does fit well/serve a purpose in my music. The microkorg is collecting dust. If I had the money, I'd sell the Nord and buy a Prophet 08, but its a while away..... How I would dream of a MS20 or Mono/Poly though :D
Hmm, I had some thoughts about getting an Old School V, but even second hand those things are so damn expensive. You can almost always get better vintage gear for the money it costs to buy new instruments, with a few notable exceptions. A MS20 can actually complement the Moog sound pretty well, so you might want to consider it even though you've got one hell of a monophonic set-up already.
Speaking of new gear: The P08, Haven't played on it all that much, but it does remind me quite a bit of my P5... in practice I've found the latter to be a bit too brassy for most applications. It can, however, make certain sounds you simple don't get anywhere else. I figure the 08 is somewhat more stable, the 5 being an unruly beast, but a bit too clean. I'd be very surprised if it's not a step up from your nord-lead though... Have yet to hear anything from a NL that doesn't sound mediocre.
Used to have one of these kicking about- it really took a beating before it kicked the bucket. I'm happy some of its cheesy sounds made it to the Triton =)
yeah ..its limited but got quite a fat sound . I didnt think it was so good until I sat down and played it for a while. Has a very nice chorus effect on it.
Hmm, Korg is always Korg. This subtle broken feeling never change. Wild but precise. Distorted but clean. Heavy but bright. It's very Korg-ish.

I can't imagine these were ever used professionally.

awesome sounding keyboard.. great tunes by the way.
if I didnt just buy a moog I'd grab this too.. does anyone know if these kind of sounds are programmable on the microkorg? or even nord lead?
