Korg TM60 Review (I love it!)

[@nickpenacl_]

I can feel the passion over your voice. Love your Lincoln portrait

[@RedDesertViolin]

Thanks, Nicolas. My mom picked that portrait out. Thanks for watching!

[@morten1]

Also useful: It has "sound back" option where the note sounded corresponds to the detected closest note cromaticcaly

[@loralynstaples5483]

AWESOME. I did not know what that feature was. I wish I could pin this comment to the top! Thanks!

[@JR-ys1ju]

Thank you for posting such an excellent video. Other reviews seem to only verbally describe metronome features while yours included a complete demonstration. I really appreciate the effort you put into this video.

[@RedDesertViolin]

You're very welcome! Thanks for your comment!

[@californiadreamin8423]

@@RedDesertViolin. Hi , from across the pond. I play traditional music, a lot of Scottish, all self taught. The part C of “Trip to Pakistan “ uses some form of shuffle bowing which is completely alien to me. Would this metronome help me , or do I need a lobotomy !! Great video.

[@AndrewLeadsford]

Great review,.No nonsense, no rambling, just perfect. Bought one, thank you

[@erickdenoorman]

Hallo Red Desert Violin, I bought one yesterday. I'm going to use the Korg TM-60 for tuning my bas guitar. Thank you very much for your explanation. You are very helpful. Greetings from Amsterdam.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Great to hear from Amsterdam! Thanks for your comment. Enjoy your Korg!

[@Cruiseangel72]

I was so impressed with this video I went and brought 2. I'm a touring musician, and I have been through a lot of tuners but I really like this one. Thanks for the great video.

[@RedDesertViolin]

You'll love it. I'm happy the video helped. I recently reviewed the Kliq metronome....and I STILL love the Korg more. The only thing I wish Korg would add is a "MEMORY" feature so it will bring back the last setting you used when you turned it off. Does the new model have that yet??? I'd love to know. Like, if you had the TUNER set to play B-flat....will it open that function when you turn it back on?

[@KonwTheTrut]

i work at a music store here in texas and we sell a ton of these. decided to do a deep dive on the metronomes we carry. im torn between this one and the Boss DB-30. lovely review. thanks for helping me with my product knowledge, even if i dont end up buying this.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Hey KonwTheTrut, my inner nerd really wants you to share what you learned about the Boss DB-30. If you can, will you email details, or even post them here? People would really like to know. ([e-mail])

[@parkpllc]

i have an MTR-50 bought 3 years ago. i found your tutorial while looking for the the manual for it. the functions are very similar and I think i will remember how to use it for a long time after watching your video. thanks...!

[@marthar4370]

yup this convinced my son that we don't need to buy the 60 since the 50 works just fine.

[@joelgratton5836]

Excellent video.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Thank you!

[@PlayitonPan]

✨🙌🏾 Great. This is by far the best review of any product I’ve ever seen or watched on the internet (and I buy a lot of gadgets and have been online for over twenty years). Entertaining, informative and all the things a review should be. Giving many thanks 🙏🏾 Bravo 👏🏾😊💫

[@RedDesertViolin]

Thanks. I appreciate your kind words!

[@peyman24]

Thanks for the tips. The Tap Tempo is a great feature

[@campyhamper4175]

Really well done. I so appreciate the on-point, concise, brevety. Thank you!

[@RedDesertViolin]

You're very welcome!

[@ronaldschwartz5202]

Super review! I have a TM60 but I haven’t bothered to go through the manual. But your review provides an excellent reason why I need to take advantage of its features.

[@soundinducedflow]

You really are very methodical and explained everything in a logical and exceedingly helpful fashion. Not what most videos manage

[@RedDesertViolin]

Glad it was of use to you. Thanks for watching!

[@drfrankmalone]

Thank you. Very well done. Ordering mine now.

[@Ray_Mott]

The best demonstration of the Korg TM-60 on these nets. Thank you so much for sharing. I love this Tuner/Metronome. I struggled with the tuner until I watched this video. I love it.

[@loralynstaples5483]

I'm SO glad it helped! Thanks for commenting!

[@butchbarnsdale2555]

Nicely done! My guess is that you are a great teacher! Cheers

[@yvindlindahl1222]

Thank you for this great review. I have decided what tuner to buy now.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Glad I could help! I'm STILL using my old Korg. It's a good machine.

[@Arnytet1]

Excelente demostración, gracias.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Glad it helps!

[@hitzaz8]

WTF !!! I just learned two functions that I didn't know after 5 years of use, thanks ma'am! You are awesome👍👍👍

[@fixitmyself]

Thank you very much for this very informative review. They are on sale now where I am and this helped the buying decision!

[@batlin]

Excellent review! I saw an official video from Korg advertising the TM-60, but to my incredible annoyance they put some loud music over the video so there was no actual audio of the device! Literally *ALL* I needed to find out was how loud the built-in speaker is, since my cheap digital tuners have really quiet metronome speakers that can barely be heard in many practice situations.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Yes, I wish the speaker was louder, but at least it is ON THE FRONT! (and an aux jack allows you to plug it into any external speaker)

[@Rick-fs9wc]

Excellent review thank you for taking the time to post this video.

[@RedDesertViolin]

You betcha!

[@peterwhitehead2858]

Thanks for putting this tutorial up. I bought one of these a few days ago and it has helped me figure out what was causing my horn to be sharp.

[@RedDesertViolin]

I'm so glad you like it too!

[@lunarmist2948]

I have had the korg TM60 for a couple months now and I was tring to figure out how to adjust the beats when I stumbled across your video. I learnded a lot form you. Thank you :)

[@RedDesertViolin]

Yay! You are welcome!

[@imankhodaei7062]

Thank you . Excellent video.

[@caesarflickerman9880]

Thank you! I’ve never used a metronome and now I’ll try it with my TM-60! Before your video it was quite a puzzle.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Yes, many people are confused by the All-In-One metronomes. Once you get the logic, it's pretty easy. And the Korg TM60 is one of the EASIEST metronomes for functions. Enjoy!

[@homeofcreation]

Excellent review. Thanks. Made me buy one.

[@loralynstaples5483]

You'll love it. Thanks for watching!

[@Brian_Vallejo]

I think this was a great review & I really loved your excitement for this metronome.

Great review. Really help my purchase decision. Thanks!

[@RedDesertViolin]

Awesome. And I still love mine.

[@Topga]

Happy New Year! I was looking for a good metronom and yeur explanations was the best, so I bought it. Many thanks.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Great to hear! It will get the job done! Good luck!

[@tuncaycakir]

Great review! Thank you!

[@andreybhr]

Best explanation on how to use metronome and tuner i ever heard! The video made me buy it...

[@RedDesertViolin]

Great to hear!

[@brigitwigington1673]

Thank you! I have the TM-40 and have been debating upgrading. Your review answered my questions and taught me more!

[@RedDesertViolin]

Hooray! My TM40 is still hanging in there. I keep dropping it....but it still works. (I'd like the upgrade, but I have to wait until the 40 dies!)

[@tonycannon3906]

Hi, just purchased one of these as I've just started learning the Harmonica. Great review, thank you so much.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ryancxx]

Thanks for the great review

[@RedDesertViolin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@boomboxtv4082]

I just bought one because my planet wave clip on tuner was complete garbage. battery dies fast(superfast) and it only turns on when it wants to,so I decided to buy this tuner and it came with a contact microphone for 30 dlls, thanks to this video now I know how to completely use my new tuner and I'm glad to know I can use all these features, I like to tune my guitar on 432 and practice odd tempos so this is great.

[@RedDesertViolin]

You will love it. I still have my old TM40. I wish it would die so I can get the TM60....but hey....it will probably still be ticking in 5 more years. They will have the TM200 by the time mine dies!

[@playclarilute]

That’s the way a demo video should be done. Every feature clearly presented. Thank you!

[@RedDesertViolin]

Thanks for that comment! (and my Korg is still going strong)

Oh my goodness!!! This tutorial is FANTASTIC!!! I'm saving it for future use. You are a wonderful presenter. I got this product but it didn't have instructions so... straight to KZbin! Thank you so much!!

[@RedDesertViolin]

Thanks, Sydney! Glad it helped!

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thank you for a great demo and explanation of all the features, great, now I'll buy one as I didn't know what to get over my failing korg analog GT-6J i've been using for the past 40 years (yep 40 yrs). Sadly now doesn't work on G very well :-)

[@fabianrudberg]

Excellent review. Very clear!

[@RedDesertViolin]

Hooray! Thanks!

[@El.Desarrollador]

My son just turned 4 years, he is autistic and he already know how to play piano, read music actually he learn how to read and write since 18 months he is crazy. I watch this video and I though this may be a good toy for him because he see this things like computer. I open it from the box and I show him this video. He is an expert on this device already. He go option by option and singing songs on tempo and also he practice his tones and tune. This is an incredible device for kids like him. He literally sleep with this tuner right now. Thanks for the video

[@loralynstaples5483]

Oh my goodness that is a sweet story, and amazing your sons ability! You are doing the right thing to foster the things he enjoys. I would search any opportunities you can to help him learn more on piano! (Or....even violin!) He could be gifted and what a rich life that will be for him.

[@ochjim]

Great review with loads of detail.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Thank you! Glad it helped.

[@ochjim]

@@RedDesertViolin - Bought one on the strength of your review and am very pleased with it. Thank you.

[@henryk2689]

I agree with one of the comments I just read. This has got to be one of the best reviews of any product I've seen. Not only that though it is also an excellent instruction video on use of the TM60. I got hung up on a couple things that you really helped clarify. Thank you

[@RedDesertViolin]

Funny, this review was an after-thought while killing time at my mom's house. But it's been very helpful to many people! Thanks for watching.

This is great! I was just looking at this for purchase, and I found your review. Exactly what I needed to know and really appreciated the demo of features! Thanks.

Thanks. I still have my old one, and it's still going strong. I think you'll be happy with it.

Great Review! Consider doing this for every single product ever made. Thank you for the video!

[@RedDesertFiddle]

Thanks, Kilovolver. I LOVE playing with new gear! I'll review any gear that gets sent to me!

[@raidersbringit]

Iv'e had no luck with this tuner in trying to tune my tenor sax. It tunes a guitar just fine but not the sax. Iv'e tried adjusting the mouthpiece and other things as well but nothing. I have a very reliable tuner app on my phone that works just fine. I think I'll keep using that.

[@josemanuelmeloortegaa]

Hi guys the calibration phungtion is from a=410hz to a=480hz. I have one of dis And IT's so good

Thanks. Yes, I still love mine. It won't die!

[@tomhyde9293]

Like Thomas Brooks below, I also purchased the TM-60-C. It included the KORG CM-200 clip-on mike that you can plug into the input 1/4" port. It is very handy for tuning acoustic instruments. The CM-200 is also available separately for those who already have the TM-60. Thanks for the video.

[@EricMertz]

Nice overview. thanks

[@RedDesertViolin]

Glad it helped!

[@richardreyes9604]

My concern was its capability to get A432 and A415hz. I was able with the TM50, l didn't know if this feature was passed on. ( Thanks,) your video anwsered all my questions.

[@RedDesertViolin]

So glad this video helped you!

[@weedanwine]

I bought this tuner, it's got lots of good functions, I just wish it had a nicer beep sounds, or at least be able to load my own. I'm considering getting an analog metronome even though they're much more expensive just for the nicer sound, although tolerating the Korg as much as I can as I don't really want to spend lots of money on a metronome lol nice video

[@RedDesertViolin]

I totally hear you, Weed and Wine. I like a WOODBLOCK tone....that's what you need to ask about at shops. I "HEARD" but have not verified.....metronomes that use a 9-volt battery have a better click, not sure if they have woodblock....but my old metronome had a woodblock tone.....AND IT TOOK A 9VOLT BATTERY!!!!!!!!!! And they are not terribly expensive. Good luck. (my old metronome is discontinued...but there are several like it, that cost maybe $50. The MATRIX MR-800 is about $40, and has a woodblock tone....and takes a 9 volt) LET ME KNOW if you get it an like it!

[@bobcongleton9220]

Very well done review. good details, and well illustrated...Thank, you.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Glad it helped. Yeah, I love this metronome!

[@loralynstaples5483]

Thanks Samuel!

[@JohnMcGFrance]

Great review. I m tempted by this product, but I’ve just broken my Korg MA-2 by knocking it off my music stand. It dropped about 3 feet onto a hard floor and although unmarked it isn’t working. This looks just as fragile. Would love to see a metronome that had a rubberised coating. A choice of sound for the beats beyond a beep would be good too. The beep can get annoying. The headphone out is a good feature.

[@RedDesertViolin]

John, I got a good tip the other day. A colleague said he tells his students to buy any metronome that takes a 9volt battery, because they tend to be louder, and less fragile. This is a guy who really knows his stuff.....so...maybe try looking at metronomes that take a 9 volt. YES, I agree....these Korgs are a little bit fragile. But honestly....MOST metronomes won't survive a 3 foot fall onto a hard floor. Rubberized shell is a freaking FANTASTIC idea.......why don't you write to Shar with that idea?

[@JohnMcGFrance]

@@RedDesertViolin thank you. I have gone for the Korg TM-60 but I’ve added a strip of Velcro to the base and to my music stand. Fingers crossed it stays put. Great features though.

[@bv2thareese]

Thank you so much. I lost the manual, but this was way better than looking at words on a sheet of paper.

Thank you for the review AND demoing the sound. I have been looking for a new metronome (mine just broke) and the Korg 2 sounds like the early days of Pong. I will purchase this one. Thanks again.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Hi, I hope you like your Korg. I love mine. I do wish the speaker were louder at times.....but you can always plug in one of those little pill speakers of need be.

[@nathanmartin546]

Great review. My current Korg is the AT12. Time for a new one.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Wow Nathan! If it stilll works, that's GREAT! (Maybe they'll give you a free one if you do a video showing how old it is and that it still works! Doubtful....but you never know!)

thank you so much for showing how to turn off the pendulum metronome mode! i was going crazy.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Yes, many people miss that feature! Have fun!

[@RichardDCook]

Thanks so much for your exceptionally clear and comprehensive review! It shows what that metronome does and just as importantly what it doesn't do. (I'm looking for, and not finding, an inexpensive metronome that does additive rhythms.)

[@RedDesertViolin]

Have you explored the Dr. Beat metronomes? I have wanted a Dr. Beat for the longest time....but my Korg always did what I needed so I can't justify the purchase! But Dr. Beat is not that pricey from what I remember. (more than Korg, but not terrible)

[@RichardDCook]

@@RedDesertViolin I haven't been able to get a clear answer about whether the Dr Beat can do that. I even asked a rep of theirs at the NAMM Show and he didn't know what I was talking about. There is a KZbin video by a guy who uses a drum machine for a metronome, that's far more expensive but it might be the only way to go. (For people that don't know, I'm talking about 2+2+2+2+3+2+2 and rhythms like that, where the 3 isn't 3 in the space of 2, but rather the 2's and 3's are made up of 2 and 3 separate equal-value notes.)

Yaaai! So glad I came across this video, so funny, my first metronome ever was the TM-40 too and I too bought the TM-60 years later because it comes with a plug that you can attach to the violin bridge to be able to tune your instrument in noisy areas. And even though I've drop them by accident they still work just fine, luv this brand!

[@RedDesertViolin]

Ack! I have horrid luck with dropping metronomes. Glad yours survived. WOW.....I really need to get the TM60. (that was a loaner) It's hard to tune in a loud room with my TM40. Thanks for the tip.

[@thomasbrooks8112]

A very thorough review that I really appreciate! I just purchased the TM-60-C model with the clip on option. But the instructions were not easily understood. Your review answered all my questions! It really is a great little tool and the tuning features are extremely accurate, down to cents, which is very helpful, especially with acoustic guitars and their notoriously sharp pitches when fretting the low E and sometimes the B strings. Thanks for your help in answering my questions.

[@RedDesertViolin]
