    Hey just a quickie here,

    I wanna buy this microkorg, thought i'd go for the limited edition one

    http://www.thomann.de/ie/korg_microkorg_bk_limited.

    But I was wondering I have Logic Studio and a Macbook Pro, will the MicroKorg work with this?

    Cheers

    Well unless you've got midi ports on your Macbook you're only option is direct audio in. It's pretty much a standalone unit.

    Tipper dude you do know that the keys on them are sh1t small?

    Either way I think they is over-rated 4 real. (Sorry Im going through a wigger phase)

    Just a warning!

    Alesis Micron or Novation Xio might be other worthwhile alternatives. Heck for a couple of extra sheckles you might even find a second hand Korg MS2000 or Micro X if you have a look around.

    Yo GOod luck bro, and keep it TIIIIGHT!

    do NOT buy an ms2000, theyre absolute muck

    however id agree with the recommendation of a micron over the microkorg, absolutely

    are you sure you need a hardware synth? i mean the microkorg is not exactly the most unique sounding synth ever built and it seems you are fairly new to the whole thing.

    i mean running midi interfaces and running the audio back to your DAW and all that seems a fairly unnecessary process what in these days of cheap softsynths.

    In fairness, I think everyone wants to have at least one hardware synth in their arsenal.

    By the way, there must be something in the air, or maybe its the time of year, but so many people (including myself) seem to have a serious gearlust virus at the moment.

    mmmmm I just said virus...

    yeah but judging by the OP, a microkorg really wouldn't be that useful. It seems that there's a lot of novelty about hardware synths.
    It's understandable about some of the higher end ones (as they have some great sounds) but I think people are too willing to spend money on something they really do not need.

    In saying that, I'm on the lookout for a JP-8080 for cheap. I used one for about a year and hated almost every sound that came out of it. But it seems to be stuck in my head to get it as you can do some great cross modulation stuff on it.
