MicroKORG : Decent entry level synth

I purchased a Microkorg while my mininova was being repaired. It's a decent synthesizer, there are tons of options for making your own sounds; pretty much every parameter you could need is available to you.

There are approximately 64 pre-loaded patches and the sounds are awesome. The true power of the Microkorg is in building your own sounds. There is definitely a learning curve here and you'll have to read the manual / search online.

It's main competitor is the Novation Mininova, which is more user-friendly but has less customisation options.

If you're new to synths, the Mininova may be a better option. If you're looking to build your own patches, the Microkorg is the right synth for you.
