i kinda want this one.... exactly how is it an improvement over the first MK other than looks?

[hima7voltus]

the vocoder is more hi-fi than first MK, with gooseneck microphone. i think this is micro version of korg R3.

japan is in the future

I play in a hardcore band.

Synth during breakdowns.

Heh.

This is well worth it.

[EmceeKizzle]

That's pretty sick for just a demo!

[MrJadenxp]

@oeconomito yea with an earthquake

[onnolab]

I'd check out the M-Audio Venom for cheap digital VA synths, it makes the Microkorg sound like a toy

[luuus1]

is there some "drums" included? (i mean nothing sophisticated just some simple metronome-like beat)

[0412mikey]

The Korg R3 is still a far better synth.

@maccagrabme. yes i know. i already got a jupiter.

@maccagrabme nice, but i've listened to a lot of demos. I always like the Korg ones better. They're just more edgy to me. Other ones sound too nice and clean. Probably just personal preference. But I'll agree that you can make the sounds elsewhere. I had to reconnect with Reaktor for a second time to stop myself from buying stuff I probably don't need. (I have Reaktor 5 and AbSynth1) Reaktor is awesome, just confuses me sometimes.

@M0rganstudios these are toys, if you want fun then fine but if you seriously want to make music beyond trance then you will be dissapointed. Do your research, look at Vintage synth dot com for any real analogue synth made within the last 30 yrs then listen to a demo on youtube you will hear a big difference especially in person. They will be far warmer and fatter and sit much better in your mix. You can get any software synth to sound like this demo, maybe even free.

@haikousei I don't really recommend any new Virtual analogue synth in hardware form. Any of the existing free software vsti's can do a lot of those sounds. I used to buy the latest gimmicks from these companies and ended up flogging them and losing money. All depends what music you are making but real analogue will give you the sound you want. Fat bass, smooth strings and warm pads, look at a Juno 6, Jx3p, Jx8p, Alpha Juno, Moog, they are old but sound terrific.
