...ended up with a studio work over. My Altair 231 is out for repair. Gone is my minimoog shaped microkorg, the black Nord Lead 2 is stashed and on sale. I bought them before ToH solely because the looked cool. Now VA is the least we need and covered already by the V-Synth's...

Microkorg 2

This is nice. The venerable Microkorg is still a great little synth, and they were wise to keep all the strong points and improve on the weaknesses: I'd say that the big news is the doubled polyphony and the screen to improve the usability of the matrix interface. Also, the keys are not diving...

Reface CS, microkorg or system 1

This is an amazingly versatile classic portable analogue synth. If that is all you need, you will be shocked and awed by it.. However in the modern world of plug & play midi, setting up the microkorg as a midi trigger synth is a nightmare of 90s proportions, let alone using it's mid boggling...

The microKORG can be found in a lot of studios, and that's for a reason.

Though it is not the best sounding synth in the world, it does sound very good. And yes, it does easily fit into most mixes. 4-voice polyphony is not much, but what can you expect for a synth that cheap. I use it a lot for...
