Korg N5: Budget Price, Studio Quality! - Sound Profile

Support the show on Patreon! / speedydtm
Korg's made a lot of synths over the years, with many that have become icons of music and many that stand as an example of overambition. But what about the forgotten ones? In today's video, I take a close look at the Korg N5 series (and by extension, the N1 series), late 90s ROMplers based on the Ai2 architecture with a huge number of studio quality sounds at a modest price. Do they still hold up today, or should they stay forgotten? Watch and find out!
