Yeah...

Its actually quite affordable at 500$ Canadian, and it
sounds nice. Patches kinda look difficult to edit though...

My gf and I were playing with the vocoder this moring. Fun!!

good shit!

I kind of want one myself, but I also want a real analogue
one.. however, the real analogue ones costs too fucking
much!

Get yourself a girlfriend instead and get her to make
noises.

Yeah... if I could afford an analogue synth, I would prolly
be more likely to get a nord lead3 and an MPC...

Or one of those neat controllers that are two beams of
light... that is some neat shit...

But this is good for now. And it has a vocoder, that sounds
100X better than most of the vocoding software I have
used!!!

microkorgs are pretty cool, I guess... decent enough sounds
and the vocoder feature is nice.. the bottomline for me
though is that the keys are useless for ever actually trying
to play anything. I guess I'm actually a keyboard player and
not a "synthesist" or something.

I hate non-hammerweighted keys. But with that microkorg I
would probably just do pads or midi control it through a
sequencer.

yeah, I had that problem too when I tried it at the store..
doesn't stop me from wanting it, though...

taxidermist: yeah, those light-thingies are neat.. and the
airfx or whatever it's called.. those spheres you hover your
hand over to change fx-parametres...

Also, the Korg Legacy... that small thing where you actually
have to wire the routing of the envelopes with the wires!

i love nonweighted keys as long as the action and response
in them is smooth and springy, but not too springry. It's
easier to play the fast shit that I like without the weights
slowing me down, though I love the feel of weighted keys
too. The only things I can't deal with are mini-keys.

the nord lead isn't an analogue synth. it's a VA.
wich means Virtual Analogue. it's basicly a computer.

Yes minikeys suck.
I would rather but a midi keyboard with no knobs and then a
knob based midi controller than having a mini all in one
jobby.

Yeah, I know... but with the cost of a vintage analogue
synthesizer you can afford much more newer-model stuff with
a comparable sound. Plus the flexability of the digital
medium gives you added benefits.

Honestly, I am a sound designer, not a keyboardist, so the
smaller, non weighted keys are perfect for me. Plus I need
to do all this siznit on a budget, so the price was ideal.

sounds like you got just what you needed. :) I remember when
I got my first synth (well, my first working one I should
say), and it's a great feeling. I hope you have thousands of
hours of fun with that thing, like I have with mine. :]
