Is MicroKorg XL the jumbo shrimp of synths?

From the name - it sounds like it should be a full-size MicroKorg, but from the video it looks like something very different.

Here’s another demo video:

Nothing can surpass the MicroKorg imo- not even the original that it was based off (MS 120, or something similar? im not a synth historian)

Naw. Yoursister is right. It’s the ms-20 not 120 douches and anyone who thinks the microkorg end all be all hasn’t heard of an analog synthesizer, and they are dumb. If you don’t know synth history then you don’t even know what your doing on some amateur synth like the microkorg. Poisoned V can eat garbage. Microkorg is in my collection but I’m very aware of where it stands in my collection.

Calling the Microkorg an “amateur synth” is just a typical gearsnob comment. The Micro is just another in the lineage of synth design. Ive played just about every type of synth out there, from analog to digital. It holds it’s own. If you’re going by the factory presets and base EQ, I could understand this statement, but when you dig into the editing and get to know what you’re doing, it becomes a full rich sounding unit. I gig regularily and have run into many well known keyboard players, and they love the Microkorg for it’s reliability, ease of use, and size. The only complaint is the keysize. Does it lack poliphony? sure, but it’s modeled after synths with low poly designs. The bottom line is how can you knock a unit which has as many features, is so portable, and with tweaking can run with the big boys?

I forgot i made that comment till i saw it- I didn’t mean every synth ever made- obviously there are better ones. i just meant what i had used

Maybe that will make *yoursister reconsider then……

I love the positive energy that is flowing in this thread ; ) Joking aside, i would have to agree with El Jeffe, the microkorg has held it's own for a good reason. And on another note, we are all entitled to our own opinion, just because some close-minded people post ridiculous comments doesn't mean that they are true, they are only opinions, stooping down to name calling doesn't solve any problems and doesn't sway that person to side with you, it only agitates them and starts pointless arguments over the internet.

I'm also excited about getting the new MK XL, I know that it will take me a couple of months to save for it, but I just got a job and i'm about ready to explode!!
