MICROSAMPLER WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS.. 

Still use mine daily. Awesome sampler. Even used it on some major placements. Dope video! ✊🏿

Yes! I also still use mine in the studio. Highly underrated piece of gear.

The recessed buttons were genius. Nothing to get ripped away during transport or storage. Very few on the market these days.

I've been rocking my microsampler all weekend Great Piece. Dope effects plus resampling that chopping feature is fantastic

You don't really hear so many people talk about the Korg microsampler these days. Nice to hear your take on this sampler keyboard!

That is a cute writing tool. Ensoniq used logarhithmic data with linear interpolated error correction and linear phase, to give "real life" sound. They have had no competition in 40 years. Ensoniq would make an amazing "Wha had happened was..." video.

I really loved mine. I could never get the program to properly interface with my device but wasn't sure if it was an issue with Windows. I found a neat hack where you plug a midi cable from the "midi in" to the "midi out" and it lets you control both the "sample" mode and the "keyboard" mode at the same time. Was fun for playing some experimental stuff on the fly. I feel Korg was so close with this keyboard and if they made a modern sleeker revision I would be all on it

ive just been saving my thrashed up banks and reloading a blank bank to all bar one. So now the genius device is ready to do the business whenever I am ready. The MS really is the bollocks, and creating a blank bank is big tip to all users, as is running the connection to the PC & software LIVE whilst you are jamming. thats a great tip. The MS is core to what we do here at Fantom Aeronautics. Yes, it is crazy. Its driven LOTS of people crazy. It could drive YOU crazy. Its not for the feeble, the quitters or the fainthearted, but rather for those who ARE crazy, and cannot accept failure as an option... 😂 And this may be the best review of one so far...

Thanks for this! I have one in my studio collecting dust! Back on it👍

i slept on this for a while but i just got two in the last year. ive learn too that you have to have a certain state of mind to really enjoy this sampler too. sometimes it wont do exactly what you want but if you listen to what its doin it can be very interesting. sometimes its hard to get the sequencer going properly but it is what it is! once again i enjoy the two i have

Omg I wanted one of these SO BaDLY. These vids are perfect but now I’m about to go buy this 😹

Man, I LOVE your channel. These videos are gold. No dislikes. As it should be. :) Keep up the fantastic work, sir.

I still have mine in as new condition 😊 love it

You should do the Korg DSS-1. Super fun sampler that can be had for peanuts currently

This would have made a good companion keyboard/sampler. Let's say you had a synth with good bread and butter sounds, decent editing and a decent key bed. Coupled with this you'd have a rich full featured workstation. Kinda like how people would couple a Korg Trinity with an MPC back in the day.

They seem really good I definitely want one ...

Great video, I've just picked one up, messed around for a couple days, its a beast for a creative mind, a few things like attack and loop points missing, but everything else makes up for those little short comings, I'm looking forward to spending more time with it asap.

Korg micro sampler2 Would work even if they didn't bother modifying anything, but just simply allowed each bank to have a gig of ram. And if they wanted to spend some money revitalizing it perhaps a better screen with a lot more info on it. And a slot for memory card or USB stick

Really do love it! ...but, on the other hand, NO MID-SAMPLE LOOP POINTS for sustaining chromatic samples is unforgivable. But, that's about the only thing I would change. (Kinda wish it had a pitch bend wheel, too, but that's not a deal-breaker). Modern-day SK-1 / SK-5.

Might not be as sexy as an MPC one especially with the goose neck mic but it's definitely a great little device

I saved for one, bought one... Lost it one drunk evening in Ottawa, Ontario. Bought another, but whoever found my MicroSampler in Ottawa, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Still have mine. It's a beast.

The second most under appreciated piece of music tech to be released EVER. After the Yamaha CS REFACE. Put them together and WOW. Magic happens. The micro sampler becomes your storage unit for your CS REFACE creations. And then in minutes you have brought them to life. And have a near perfect cover of AXEL F or whatever tune you are working on. People today are spoilt and clueless. Back in my day people made magic with far more basic equipment than this. Creativity over big tech.

Nice little sampler, but its a bit ugly, don't you think?

Splitting the keyboard was its best feature

Was happy with mine, made lots of music with it, but was glad to see it go to be replaced with my MPC one

I love my Microsampler, and even though I havent used it in a few years I would never consider parting with it. The sequencer sucks, but the effects are so ill and trippy, and the sound is incredible.

Just think it all can be done on a phone now. That’s crazy when you think about it.

Wanted one of these so bad.

I remember another keyboard sampler: the Roland DJ70. Looked more professional, but I never used it. Will you make a video about it? :)

Sorry to spam ur comments here. Have u seem the kiviak wofi? A new keyboard sampler coming out. But besides that and the mpc keys I don’t know anything else that is really a keyboard sampler besides thing I load samples into over usb or sd care. I want a modern asr10 or mirage type thing., or as I said before here an upgraded micro sampler.

With the big ass Mic sticking out of it, it look more like a Micro Vocoder! Not keen on the Cell indents either, makes that whole area look like a gear shift section of a Dodge Ram!

This Microsampler is what Casio SK-5 owners in the '80's wished it could be.

It was a good idea but this thing was to mini and everything was crowded, if it was more spread out I would have kept mine. Don’t get me wrong this thing was ahead of it’s time and they need to come out with a small sampling keyboard but jut not mini.

This thing was designed like the ultimate cup holder with keys attached to it.

Dope. Fuck stock sounds! Dig for ur own sounds! =]

can you upload new sounds to the keyboard mode?

What are you guys using as an Operating System to run the Editor Software? My newer Mac Laptop will not run the software without crashing all the time.

Can u do the emu mo phatt and the kurzweil 2000 great videos

No transposition is a deal breaker.

I wrote to korg and told them to release something like this but a little more upscale but not overly complicated like an mpc. Is there anything similar to the micro sampler?

STOP! STOP! Learn it in a day??? No chance. 😂

37 keys… not 36. 😉

Please tell me why you can't pronounce the first R in LibRaRion 😂😂😂

Simply unusable. A total failure. A joke. One of the most annoying and perverse machines from japan i have tried in the last 30 years.
