this synth is so badass. Glad I waited 2 years to buy a synth and decided on this one :)

I have this board. It is OFF THE HOOK. Also, Love the demo. There was a trick you did with Grid sequence that I never knew was possible, and I DEFINATLY plan on using it. The only thing I have not been able to figure out is how to do a pattern of patterns. You know, create your chorus, then your verses, maybe an intro and of course a bridge. Then finally put them all together. I am open to some instruction if can help.

I have this board too, but my church uses a Korg Triton. One evening, I let my Music Minister check out the Microstation for comparison of sounds. No difference. And in some cases, the sound was better on the Microstation than on the Triton. For example, the music minister commented on how much he loved the "Stein Bass" sound.

I don't see why everyone hates mini keys. Maybe I've just dealt with them for a long time, but I can swithc around efforlessly for my microkorg to my DX7 to my piano, and then do some small things with my nanoKEY.

I'm starting a band, and I play keyboard. I don't have a keyboard yet, and I'm thinking about starting with either the MicroKorg XL or the Microstation. Which would be better to start with?

They're a little more general, whereas the microKORG sounds are synth focused. Thanks for watching! - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing (800)783-3368

You can plug your Micro in to the Sp with a standard midi cable. unfortunately. SP 170 has no audio input. I suggest you to go and get a some other speakers like the ALtec lansing and hook it up. it'll sound much better.

Hi Dave! I've never used a "micro" korg and even though this microstation sounds good enough for me, i'm a little bit suspicious when it comes to keys. As they seem they are shorter than standard keys but what i wonder is if they are thinner also. I really need to know that. Thanks!

Hi, can this keyboard play and sequence sounds from an SD card? Thanks.

Wait, so not only is this just a workstation/ sequencer, but it can also function as a midi controller for a DAW? Is that right or did I misunderstand something..?

@kraftmusic I just wanted to say how I enable sound on computer software? I mean when I have gone through the program to play with this keyboard, there is no sound on computer, in the process itself I can't hear the audio into the computer at all, every time when I press the key. I have read the manual but it gives no sign. How do I make it work to hear the audio on the computer without hearing the keyboard? And how do I export file song on computer when you have finished recording?

Hi! I have both Korg SP170s and Korg Microstation. Can I hook up my microstation to SP170s so that my SP170s uses the sound produced by the Microstation? Thanks!

question, hopefully you can answer this. is there a way so that when playing live, i can change from one preset quickly to another one without having to go searching through my microstation for them?

I haven't played either, but personally I can't stand mini keys. I would get the PS60. It looks very solid. I'm planning on getting it myself, but can't really make the choice between a synth and a digital piano.

Debating between this and the PS60, opinions?

Hello, can you chain patterns together to create a song ? Ex. pattern 1 intro, pattern 2 verse, pattern 3 chorus, etc. Thanks .

Can you put .sf2 soundfonts on the SD card and use them with this?

Hi Dave.. can I connect a midi controller or keyboard to Korg MS? I want to install it to a guitar neck to play the bass notes or chords. tnx Ed

Will the smaller keys make it harder to use?

Thank you!

Hi Kraft. Is the Korg microARRANGER also capable of doing the first 13 seconds of the video?

How many registration banks?

does this synth start playing in sync when you play on logic etc ? tanks in advance :)

do u need to plug this into an amp or it already has onboard speakers?

Great for practicing on the go.

can this play samples from an sd card?

Can i add additional deeper octaves to this station?

Can you create pendulum sounds with this synth?

Hi Dave M... I am really encourage to use the Microstation as a keytar. As a project, I like to copy the Muse band keytar...with 25 keys kb and bass fretboard (with one-note chord feature-if I want to play rhythm on the fretboard). Who do I contact at Korg Customer Service who can assist me..... tnx ed

Love mine!

0:08 is that a Combi? i like it

Would sonar work with this keyboard?

This Korg Microstation helps me a lot in creating sound programs:-) very much like it's multi timbral function. Take note guys i sold my Roland keyboards/Yamaha MM6 just for this keyboards because those two can only produce maximum of 4 sounds unlike KoRg Microstation it can create 16 sounds for a single set of sounds. GOOD JOB KORG.:-)

can you split and layer?

I'm thinking of getting this one or the MicroKorg, I'm a beginner when it comes to synths, so I'm looking for something simple to use, and I want to experiment from doom jazz to ambient to dubstep, I thought the MicroKorg was great for dubstep, electro and even some ambient stuff, but a bit limited as far as the "real-er" sounds go, so I started checking out this Microstation, but now I'm not sure how easy it is to create the more electronic sounds on this one...can anyone illustrate?

Would I be able to make Nine Inch Nails or Depeche Mode sounding tones with this????

Thanks! Glad you enjoy them. Feel free to contact me with any questions. - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing (800)783-3368

"On the left side" pointing to the right.

Hi, Thanks for your interest in Kraft Music and the microSTATION. I think the mini keys are pretty easy to get used to. You'll be making great music in no time! Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns. - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing (800)783-3368

Hi, Like most workstations and synths, the microSTATION does not feature on-board speakers. You'll need to connect to external speakers, a home stereo system, or plug in headphones to hear the unit. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns. - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing (800)783-3368

what song was that at 5:55??

Nice presentation but the 16 buttons are on the right side ;-) But very nice synth.

I have one ,it has excensive SMOLE keys and finaly was a BAD selecion for me. Is the "best" method to forget the real category keys-playing. Is ONLY FOR TRAVELS, NOT FOR PRACTICE

I swear the intro sounds like a Songbird Symphony boss.

could all of you guys stop playing generic 70's/80's sounds as demos please?! Can't wait to buy one BTW!

5.47 - 6.01 ... fuckin awesum !!

sequence recording 3:50

i wish the m50 had waterfall keys

Small board.. BIG sound..

for me this one is better :)

i don't have baby hands... i'm of scandinavian descent; therefore, i have big viking hands. this thing just won't work for someone like me...

@goodbyehorselover23 ----------- would you rather them play the crappy mainstream music, they play nowadays? lol
