I wish Korg made a keyboard with larger "mini" keys. I love the feel of the box/piano style keys on the MS keyboard, but I feel the keys are just a little too small for extended playing (and I'm not a big person). A "mediumSTATION" would truly bridge the gap between portability and playability.

The size, weight, sound quality, and programming capability combine to make the MS one of my favorite keyboards. However, I have had to adapt my playing for the tiny keys. I am close but there are still significant sacrifices. I feel that with medium sized keys, we would have the best of both worlds; a very light and compact keyboard that sounds excellent AND plays exceptionally well.

While I'm still dreaming... It would be excellent if it could incorporate true analog synthesis as well. I would also prefer to have sampling alongside/instead of sequencing.

I thing its not a matter ... I like the Microstation MW 1 looks its so Minimalist and fit in My interior.

I hope next Korg will continue they're good work for the "Micro series" especialy with the Kronos X sound sampler called KORG MicroNOS Workstation with 49 keys or just a Synth + ARP (61 Keys) only for reduce the price.

Good job = Well Done !

Hi

I like the small keys so that it is portable and that is why I bought it. Too bad it does not have battery compartment. If you ask me, if they put speakers and battery in the MS2, I will buy it as I need portable easy to handle keyboard. If they make the keys larger then I will have to look else where.

Regards

If you can DIY, it is easy to put small stereo mp3 player-speakers and a rechargable battery pack inside the mS or other mods.

see example:
