That brass at 4:00 is more amazing than what i could do with my M50. Nice job creating these sounds, all of them are very usable in a live setting and it almost makes me want a microstation. I only wish they sold this as a full normal 61 key version instead of microkeys.
Thanks, Jack... within 30 minutes of paying, I was playing these sounds and they are huge... I then reloaded my favorite original combi's individually and now have an even bigger arsenal of gigantic sounds in a mini keyboard that goes anywhere. When matched with my Nord Stage EX, it's one powerful m...f...ing set up! :)
Good news, my friend: in september with 2.0 Live Combi upgrade you'll can play 128 + 128 combi setup also with another keyboard. Really, today you can do this: via midi you can control Microstation's sounds from a 61 normal key, 76, 88 weighted... :-)
Jack..... you are the best to demo this Korg Microstation. Its discontinued but I found one from Craiglist and I will pick it up tomorrow. Now, I do not have to carry the big keyboards anymore to small prayer group homes. thanks Ed
Gotta love midi. I was actually considering trying to it that way because 120 polyphony vs my M50's 80 polyphony is alot more live friendly, but then comes the question hauling one 61 normal key synth or two different synths for midi. I think it would just be better if KORG made the Microstation in a normal size keybed.
It is not one of my song, my friend... all is improvised... You can use this groove... good job! Send me your final song if you can, if you want! And thanks for watching. Regards!
yes, I understand your reasons ... but korg has staked everything on the portability... and polyphony is 120 voice but in SINGLE mode ! Only 60 in DOUBLE mode...
Hi. Your sounds are fantastic. It makes me love this keyboard more! Hey, what's your intro and outro tune on the videos? Did you compose that or is it from somewhere else?
@jackOasys at 10:58 you are playing a very very nice melody with the funombolo/piano is it a sample of one of your song? I will love to expand on that melody and make a song with it, if it's ok with you will get full credit please let me know..... Thanks
Senior Jack very nice sounds.... regarding the keys size.. how are the keys during the live performance (with the band). I want to use it as a keytar... and I hope there will be no problem installing guitar strap locks. Also, would it be easier to see the keys if the keyboard was tilted up on an angle? tnx...ed
I know I know, the smaller size more portable than my very portable M50 but if I bought this I would really only use it as a backup if something happens to my M50, and I just dont feel safe relying on microkeys as backup. I'm not saying there bad it's just a very different feeling for me when I play.
Hi Jack...I lilke the on-board sounds. But when I go to the music stores, the sounds are not even half way good.. Its a shame really! I was ready to buy but again... the store speakers turns me off. Could you please provide demos of real songs.... for guitar sounds, how about Sleepwalk by the Ventures or Shadows. Tnx..... Ed
Hi Jack.. can you please help me. I like to make the Microstation into a Keytar. I like to move the panel in front of the bass keys, to the top or to the left of the keys, but I want to leave the bass keys as is. I want to be able to reach the bass keys (play like a guitar) if I want to walk the bass line, (and have a guitar neck to transfer the panel) . What do you think. tnx. Ed
Yeah :-/ And funny thing is..i was going for the micro..since i like it compact and don't have much space..but..ended up with the Krome..since the micro was out , and only thing available was the Krome..and i so to happen had the extra cash..and stupidly believed the Krome was better anyway..oh well
Hey Jack, if you want to hear some of your sounds in action (Tubular bells, Horizon lead, Vox pads and a few others) check out my vid of The Final Hour here on Utube... (555ontario). I do not have big production as my facilities are some what limited and not a perfect recording but your sounds are great and I will be using then a lot. Cheers!
