He seems a little jumpy/hesitant on some notes...he's still not used to the itsy bitsy baby waby keys.

Give him a month or so, and the micro will be a doorstop.

Ha ha...just kidding Scott. rotfl

It sounded pretty good.

Tony, I 'did' say this is 'something a little different' cool
btw: Checkout this guy's YouTube channel and you'll see he plays in the same occasionally stopping to realign(?) style,
even when playing a 'full sized key' acoustic grand piano too. grin

Scott,

I can't see from this angle, also on the little KB there are times when he is hitting two keys with one finger, or thumb.

Ian and Tony,
It's been obvious from the get go, that even at its bargain < $499 price
and mere 9.26 lb weight, that this microArranger is simply "not" your cup of tea, coffee
but no amount of teasing from either of you is going to get me to part with mine.
I LOVE its easy to qiuckly grab and take anywhere ease and covenience.
Even the 24 lb Yam S910 doesn't come close to this degree of potability ease.
I appreciate having Papa (Steinway Grand), Mama, (Tyros 4), and Baby (microARRANGER) bear options to choose from depending on the situation. cool

That's okay Scott, let them jab, and we will go on enjoying it for what it is; a full arranger in a neat little package.

It's ok Scott, Tony's eyesight aint so good any more so when he says he "can't see from this angle" he really means it. Who gives a .... what people see, it is how it sounds that really matters. And Ian is just jealous that Yamaha have nothing to even compete with it. A Micro Tyros would be an awesome product for non Yamaha users to add that technology to their setups as people have been able to do with the Korg Micro Arranger.

But your Tyros 4 and Korg Micro Arranger is an awesome combination. I can't think of anything better for the money.

Hey Scott, sorry if you feel this is hijacking your thread but i just stumbled on this.. probably one of the best demos ive seen of the KMA. this guy is great! the only problem is for us - Hes speaking in Japanese!

He (Katsunori Ujiie) also does many MANY other demos all of this quality to a large number of keybaords and synths past and present... enjoy!

My Dad has a PA 50SD and it sounds awesome. same with the KMA. for the price these things sell for its unbeleivable how good they are and what features they include!!

Im a Big Korg Fan!

-Nick

Hi Group,

Does the KMA support the EC5 footswitch? I've considered the KMA to work together with the Roland BK-7m!
