Korg Forums

i currently have a Radias that i use in a hardcore band.. but it is quite large to lug to practices and such and i have seen good things about microKORG on youtube and the size is perfect.. so what are peoples take in this synth? think about synth kinda of along the lines of the devil wears prada and we came as romans.

It is like a 10th of the power and functionality and power of the Radias. Still a very powerful little beast, especially for its size and price.

I went the other way, from a microKorg to a Radias. The Radias isn't exactly anywhere near the largest of synths - most workstations have 61, 76, or 88 (full piano) key keyboards. But the microKorg is probably one of the smallest.

The Radias module on its own is about the same size as the microKorg and I had often thought about buying a 37-key minikeys keybed and some wood and making up a microRadias.


Anyway, in terms of functionality you'd be better off with the R3, which is only functionally about a half (1/2) or perhaps a third (1/3)of a Radias, and represents good value for the price.

Or stick with the Radias.

The microKorg is a great beginners or entry level synth. But it only has four note polyphony (play up to four notes at once in a chord), and that is reduced to three or two in dual timbre mode, it only has one filter, and has a fixed two-part FX section (modulation:ensemble/flanger/phaser and a delay). Only has an arpeggiator (no step sequencers or modulation sequencers).

ok thanks, then i think ill stick with the radias. ive had it maybe 2 years give or take but only recently started to understand it more and im getting a better feel for it so im sure ill figure out plenty more stuff that i can do with it. thx for the into on the micro and r3
