Korg microKorg XL + Reviews

Big sound for a 37 mini-key instrument

I didn't expect that good of a sound from it. It's super-light and super-portable. Emulation of Wurlitzer and organs are very nice and clean sounding. I was really afraid that the XL+ keys would be bad but fortunately the KEYS ARE BETTER from Microkorg and Microkorg-S. The big disadvantage is the lack of reserved user-patch memory which means you cannot save your own created patches without overwriting existing ones.

It's cool

Not as good a build quality as the older models. But the vocoder is very usable and it's nicely responsive. I only bought it for little sound bites of vocoder so will keep in the studio.

Great and underrated

this is definitely a great synth and a very underrated one. Great sounds and very easy to use. straight on great buy. totally recommended!

In general really nice synth/vocoder

Good and sturdy packaging in comparison with the microKorg which feels more like a plastic/children's toy. Also i think it has bigger keys too.. In general they both sound great, high sound quality palette in theese two. I think it is a must for every keyboardist!

ps: Maybe its personal but i always wanted a black edition of the microkorg and then this finally came out!

ps2: I am in love with the vocoder.

Lovely sounds,

I love this keyboard, so many nice sounds. The menu system can go quite deep as far as I can tell.

One of the best analog modeling (VA) synths

Arguably one of the best analog modeling (VA) synths in the market with respect to its sound color and character. It provides a great range of control parameters to tailor the sound to your taste. Make sure you check the additional Korg patches/presets (MicroKorg, MS2000, MS2000B, Korg US, Korg UK). It definitely sounds "warmer" than Mininova (especially its pad patches). The other big opponent in this price range is definitely Roland JD-Xi mainly because of the PCM drum kit and the sequencer.

Nice little keyboard

I have used microKorg XL+ one and half year already. I like that. It is small, nice looking keyboard. Very easy to handle. But what I like the most is the powerful sound it can make - especially some bass and synth sounds in it. I like that very much. I also use it as MIDI keyboard for DAW-s.

Microkorg XL+

The big brother of the Microkorg. Fully updated features, sounds and waves.

Amazing new features , generators and the new design and buttons make it work perfectly
