What's this new Korg microX thingy like. Anyone know? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its a rompler. |

If you are looking at affordable smaller synthesizers, check out the novation Xio. I played with it for a bit, and was impressed with the depth of sound. The only thing I would think of changing would be the knobs (they were too firm for my liking). For under $400 retail, you really could do worse. |

Hey heres a related question: has anyone got/used/know about/built a x0xb0x, is it recommended? |
||||||||
|

The MicroX just looks fun. That's all I want. Something fun to play around with and I've always liked the Korg sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, but you are going to be pretty much limited to the sounds that are on board. Its pretty much a trimmed down triton (which you can get for the same price used). |

x0xb0xes are supposed to rock. I have a password to order one, but I don't have the cash :( |
||||||||
|

What Taxidermist said. The inability to make your own sounds will piss you off sooner rather than later. You'll be happier with a Microkorg if you like the Korg sound. |

x0xb0xes... so this is like a TB 303? anything like the future retro revolution? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its a clone of the tb303, only its a kid. Its pretty close to the original, only it has midi and usb support. It also ups the sex factor of the tb303 design. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know what I was thinking with that only its a kid comment. Crazy. |
||||||||
|

if i don't like how novation vsti sounds, won't i like the synths either? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah me too... it says to place the order within a week which means im having to make up my mind... if I spend my money on this I will feel guilty, but on the other hand I'll have a 303 with midi and usb support, which would probably help me get over it. |

if the xio synth has the the same hardware as the x-station then i'll highly recommend it. it maybe lacks a bit of depth and raw bass sound compared to moogs but it has one fantastic thing - fm synthesis. and it rocks. |

dave smith evolver...under $500...and way more exciting than a triton. the xoxbox is rad too...the korg electribes are pretty sick boxes too. there was that yamaha dx200 or whatever fm synth that i've heard good things about too. fender chroma polaris...analog for under $300. casio makes some nice digital synths too. lots of cheap gear for way under $500, you just gotta know where to look.... |

haha, seems there are three of us on this round of socksboxes. i'm getting paid tomorrow, so there chances are high that i'm going to solder soon i have to figure out a clever way of boxing it, i'm not going to get the standard casing for it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aha! why wouldnt you use their casing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aaah yes the dx200 and the an200 sound so rough !! i would love to get my hands on one of those |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The Desktop evolver sounds amazing, but I wouldn't recommend that interface to anybody looking for something fun. Better to have the keyboard version with those nicer knobs and better layout. |

What do you have in your studio? |
||||||||
|
|

the x0xb0x seems to be the closest clone to the tb303 ever made. It's ofcourse still programmable with the internal sexuencer with the box synced up through midi, or you can midi trigger the notes. It's an hardware ABL really |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's also a MIDI/CV converter (the x0xb0x) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it's oogleee |
||||||||
|
|

ah yeh, forgot |

I am picking my Xio up tomorrow. Thank you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Bloody hell, I didn't realise that. I am going to have to buy one now, I think. V. good value for money when you consider it's only £180 to start with. |
