KORG MICRO-PRESET Synthesizer M-500 SP - 1977 | HQ DEMO | Micropreset

[Ni5ei]

9'20" to 9'30" sounds like the bass preset of the Roland JP4

Another great demo. I also own one of these, but sadly, I cannot get any sound out of it now. It has incredibly juicy bass sounds, and the traveller slider allows you to make wonderful resonant transitions. I remember aiming the speaker out our dorm window one night with "Flight of the Valkrie" booming while I made very lifelike chopper sounds on the Korg! It was "Apocolypse Now" all over Eicher/LaFevre halls at WMU in 1979! I felt like Tomita on this keyboard... ~Jon

@FlyingHorseKnuckles is it possible to repair????  i want to buy one of these but hesitant if they cannot be repaired-

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

@salvadory I never looked into getting it fixed. I suppose it could be. Mechanically, it is fine.

[900GTi]

I accually want one

[oryjen1]

Yeah, really fat, plain, strong sounding little beast! 'v'got one, simple, intuitive, allways ready to jam!

[docfraktal]

I don't know this little monster, it's very very excellent, with nice bass sound !!

Great demo!

[dayuhanspace]

analog sounds way more better than

digital synths

[felipesancho]

it's funny that everybody demands and buy synths way more advanced / complicated than this one, but at the end the sound they get is anyway very simple, nothing far from this. i've even heard monster modular synths makin less exciting sounds... 

[konked]

@felipesancho anyone for another vintage PHAT BASS Synth Sound ?

[yohanbox]

i can't see it at more than 240p :0

[AnalogAudio1]

@yohanbox HQ DEMO means, the audio is high quality, not the video resolution. The sound matters.

[theforbiddentape]

@AnalogAudio1 The resolutions also affect the audio.

Super sounds!

[stuthomson]

Beautiful sounding machine!

[Syntox]

Ridiculously underrated synth! Funny thing is this would probably fetch at least double what an M1 is worth nowadays...

[EFKA526]

grossartig!

[giddygavin]

Great!

I have always loved these,grew up on the OMD stuff.

When I saw OMDs actual MicroPreset for sale some years ago I was so tempted,but it was too pricey.

[Lachlant1984]

It really sounds like something from the 70's and you hear these kinds of sounds in techno music, but that of course goes without saying. It sounds like something Kraftwerk would use in their songs.

[HAGOSLORD]

Nice demo! You obviously know that synth really well.

[JohnLRice]

VEry nice demo, sounds great! I especially like the intro with the delay! ;-)

[CleverDjembe]

Excellent demo, very musical!
