Its soundbanks are pretty nice, but very redundant. You hear a lot of songs with microkorg presets slathered over them. The good part is you can alter them digitally with a midi connection, although it's only worked temporarily for me. |
Just guitar center'd the microkorg and it has a vocoder!??!?!?! Insane! It looks nice but is a bit pricy(since i don't work).

however, if you're like me, and you just want some keys that make it more intuitive to lay down a lead, you might want to look at a smaller keyboard. i have a korg k25 ( the tiny one pictured). you get two octaves at a time, and you just press the up and down octave buttons to get to higher or lower octaves. i picked mine up on craigslist for only $60. i love it. here's one on ebay for cheap right now
my friend is a serious business pianist, so the piano/keyboard he recently bought absolutely HAD to meet some requirements - be small/compact, be full sized, weighted keys, midi (maybe some others) so he bought this - roland hp201 digital piano. so if you're not going to be all hardcore pianist and shit, get a simple midi controller - at least to start.
edit: forgot to mention, to add some knobs and sliders to the mix i got an m-audio x-session pro |
Thank you for the clarification, pretty neat!
The k25 looks interesting so I'll keep it on watch.
I think i'll stick with a simple midi controller since I don't plan on being hardcore.
So that X session pro basically just gives you the ability to use EQ's and other things with FL or a midi keyboard? I'm not really understanding what it actually does :/
