Allo Arnaud, Do the knobs (dials) (the ones used to select preset sounds), do they use detentes (little clicks or notches) to move from one up and down to the next sound, Or are they just one fluid motion meaning you have to guess what sound or parametre has been selected? There is a brand new MicroKorg XL very soon to be released. It has made some improvements over the original MicroKorg. I am looking for a little synth that I can tweak the sounds and effects easily as a blind person. I am also wondering about the Novation X-Staition. I wonder about the audio synth side of the X-Station. My local music shop has one on order so I can try it out. Any other suggestions? I realize that both of these are not super serious keyboard synthesizers. They are Virtual analog machines that some would consider toys but the Youtube videos for these 2 machines make them seem very fun and easy to use. I'm not that concerned about the vocoder but the arpeggiator is important to me. Any ideas, comments or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you / Merci, Stacy -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Arnaud Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 11:11 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Micro Korg anyone? yes, I had one in 2004 and quickly sold it. I was not able to memorize where parametters are... anyway, the vocoder stuff and size of the synth makes it a cute gear, but it's not enough for me to keep this... -------------------- Arnaud de Bonald - Paris France - WeBlog: http://www.echo-on.org Stacy Bleeks a ?crit : > Anyone used a Micro Korg? > How is it for programming your own sounds etc? > I heard the display is lacking but obviously that doesn't matter. > Thanks, > Stacy > PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
