MicroKORG : A Fun and Easy to use Synth and Vocoder with plenty of features.

I purchased the Kork microKORG as my first synthesiser/vocoder, and I have not been disappointed in the slightest. Since the very first time using it, I have found it to be easy to navigate and intuitive, being able to quickly mould sounds either from scratch or using the inbuilt presets.

The vocoder aspect of the unit is of a good quality, not cheap and cheerful like you get with some other units at this price. The microphone has a good response, and is easy to connect to the unit quickly for setup and pack-up.

Sure, at this price, this is not the highest of build quality, the keys aren't the best and the body does have a plastic feel to it, but with the wood effect panels on the end of the unit I think it gives the unit a nice overall aesthetic.
