This little guy (Micro arranger) is loaded.......loaded with all the things I disliked about the older Korg arrangers smile

You guys are bored and ready to buy any in-expensive toys..

The old Korgs..to an extent the new ones too...are poor when it comes to the OS..and stage friendly...NOT!!..

The Micro and the standard pa50sd are 32 mbs of rom sample...the sounds are not great as in detail...it reminds me of the sound quality we get with the MS soft synth..(Roland clone)...in fact I think the MS synth is 24 mbs with only a GM map of tones..

The Micro will not please anyone that plays the keys..with the exception of some PSR players (use to poor key feel) smile

It may be wiser to get the standard size PA50 sd..for a couple hundred more...

The Micro is a neat novelty tool ( I didn't want to say toy)...and it is cool to have one...if you know it's merits and limitations...but I think folks have build an image that will not stand up..

The plus side it is a module size with keys...easily manageable to carry....will amaze folks that the sound is coming from a "toylike" musical instrument.....all many reasons to get one...just be realistic... a 32 mb sound rom and a outdated OS..

And my pet peave with Korg ..the 4 effect block system..another reason to pass over the Micro for me....

PS: I'll probally order mine next week.. grin


Fran,

IYO what does all this say about anyone who buys one .......... ??? One word will do!


Don't think what's left of the Bee Gees would buy one but Korg are not that stupid to make something
that won't sell. I think Korg will have come up with a better company strategy than you give them credit
for. Now if Ketron had have put out such a KB I might well agree with some of what you say.
