Korg MicroStation review for Keyboard Magazine - complete with '80s shredding!

[@JasonMcFly]

Killer review/demo man! Mad 80's riffage going on. I just picked one of these up at a pawn shop for $120 perfect condition. Now hitting up KZbin to learn how to use it. Stuff like this is really helpful.

This Korg Microstation helps me a lot in creating sound programs:-) very much like it's multi timbral function. Take note guys i sold my Roland keyboards/Yamaha MM6 just for this keyboards because those two can only produce maximum of 4 sounds unlike KoRg Microstation it can create 16 sounds for a single set of sounds. GOOD JOB KORG.:-)

[@bradleylinemihler]

wow howd i miss this beautyfor 6 years

[@hamsterdunce]

This video was taken at my friend Nick's studio; it's his SV-1 and he plays out with it regularly in his (and my wife's) band Bad Rooster.

[@euroDIGLET]

[@FSAYED04]

Thank you so much for your feedback. Its much appreciated. My best wishes.

[@PATROUXAMBIENTMUSIC]

Great review , very usefull thank you , I ordered my Microstation and should get it next thursday and price droped now at 329 Euros only at resailer so very good deal for guys like me who always was dreamming to get a Korg M3 but could not afford the price. I watched many demo of this little great thing and sure will have great fun with it :-) cheers

[@IamtheActionman]

Awesome I recently purchased one Fantastic machine

[@Seekthetruth3000]

Good demo! Thanks

[@rolandgerard6064]

Very easy to play on the small keys. Great synth to use with a daw too, Korg provides a very good editor. Great product...

[@secretsofthedeep20k]

Subdivisions chords. Niiiiice.

[@JansonHarris]

haha i to go right to the lead sounds :D!!awesome playing!

[@pillowman552]

I started clapping when you started the dance music

[@Jenniferab32]

This guy is awesome :)

[@lobsterjamaima]

Dave, you are one of a kind. I cringe at most of the keyboard posts here but your posts are money! My gear line is 200a, 106, B-3, Voyager, micron, D6. I'm looking to play as duo with drummer. Do you have any advise? Should I make him play in time so I can sequence or just do everything live or sequence but adjust to accomodate the drummer? Thanks man. If I had any advise it would be for you to check out the RD-50 loop station. Keep it up man!!!

[@ShieldandBucklerMusic]

Would u reccomend this keyboard for live gigs?

[@zzzxtreme]

@Inverted314 I get used to it the first day. but not for fast chord progression. the price of portability

[@Inverted314]

I'm not sure of the price. It's competitive with the Microkorg XL, but so close to the PS60. I'm digging the board, and the small size is interesting, but I just wonder if it would turn out to be more of a burden then it's usefulness.

[@poultrylover1212]

I heard that little bit of Subdivisions in there!

[@FSAYED04]

That was a really nice demo... how would compare this to Korg MicroArranger? which one would be better?

[@joab302016]

Hi. I have a Roland and a Korg Keyboard. I like to use only 1 sustain pedal for both? Is there a way to use a MIDI cable to accomplish that? Or can I use a 1/4 Y cable splitter and connect both Keyboard to it so that they share a single sustain pedal? What is your solution to this? Thank you.

[@BelfonteFurnace]

Just wondering if there is any swing/shuffle capabilities inside the sequencer? im considering getting one of these but I cant do without some sort of shuffle capabilities for my drum tracks. Also how is the quantize function on these things?

[@ZachariahConnor]

I am drooling over that korg sv1 in backround. Is that yours Dave?

[@RLbitClassica]

Quick question friend, when you say "quantize" the loop you made, is that when you make it to where the individual note inputs are set on preset "notches" within the bar? Sorry if my speech is confusing, but i had an alesis micron that did that very thing and i was wondering if that is the same thing.

[@snoolee7950]

who is this guy and how does he play so well

[@myfz6]

why did they make the keys so small?

[@jhonjhonbi]

Anyone know what the song and artist that he hat the minute 2:25 to 2:38 ??????????????

[@MichelBarbaro]

Nice sound... but this "EDS-i (Enhanced Definition Synthesis - integrated)" not even close to the amazing fat "HI synthesis (Hyper Integrated synthesis system)" of Triton, X-50, etc. Thanks for the video!

[@L77kim77l]

Thanks, you're great! :)

[@evilmatt91]

question, hopefully you can answer this. is there a way so that when playing live, i can change from one preset quickly to another one without having to go searching through my microstation for them?

[@SuperDj316]

I have a question, what recording softwares would you recommend to use with this keyboard? I have windows 7 on my acer laptop and I'm trying to figure out what to buy. If anyone knows what would work well your help is greatly appreciated.

[@diebkgast]

Hi, im a 14y teen, whos been playing harp for 8 years, bass for 1 year, and want to start to play keys. i have no idea what to buy, and looking for +- 250 euros/300 dollars i still need to learn the technique, so is this a good one to start with? i want to use my keys in a band, like secondary for bass as primary, and use is for intro's and stuff. What should i get? Could anyone please help me with choosing something that is good to learn on (not to small keys) but useful live. Thanks!

[@ZachariahConnor]

That korg dw8000 lead doesn't sound like my dw8000

[@turoniner]

Can you actually program a sequence? Or is it just recording in real-time?

[@frusciboy]

this guy has chops! hehe

[@Gundrs]

a Y splitter should work :)

[@Gundrs]

Micro arrager if you play alone, Microstation if you want a fully editable sounds, the microarranger does not have a editor, wich is a huge advantage for the microstation,,, Microstation is alos betther for live performance

[@hamsterdunce]

@aquasaber Heh, yeah, the song is great! My rendition of it was the atrocity! :-D

[@WatchDragon]

makes me wish i would have stuck with playing keyboard, im almost 30 now and feel like i wouldn't be able to learn again (not like i was good before)

[@Desmaad]

What brand of mixer are you using?

[@chromakey84]

queensryche baby!!

[@buchanan012]

silent lucidity! nice

[@thetwinkleturnip]

It's no Jupiter/JX-3. But I guess it will do :P

[@playonkorg]

I think the Korg X50 sounds better for nearly the same price in de usedmarket.

[@YouzTube99]

Well, there are a LOT of differences: 1. X50 has full size keys, MS 'micro' sized. X50 is 8" wider but only 1.5" deeper. 2. X50 based on the Triton engine, MS on the M3/50. 3. MS is a workstation, X50 does not have a sequencer. 4. MS polyphony = 120, X50 = 62 5. X50 display quite useful, MS is basic. IMO, both sound good, just different.

[@ROBOTISATTVA]

Dave RULEZ.

[@behlers]

dude has hands like spiders

[@YouzTube99]

Well, he *was* bitten by a radioactive spider when he was a teenager, so . . .

[@Gracana]

@mokkshaa you'll be sorely disappointed if you expect Dave to take himself seriously. :P

[@hamsterdunce]

To improve aim.

[@michaeljarroyo]

Silent lucidity

[@michaeljarroyo]

Queensryche

[@barret707]

@chromakey84 beat me 2 it

[@hamsterdunce]

Pff... you can do better than that! Aim higher! :-D Have fun with that Micro!!
