Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I have both the mini nova and the Microkorg and love each equally
  • Friend of mine brought a microKORG one back for me, it's so cute
  • a MicroKorg that I snagged second hand that I am very happy about.
  • This has been coming together over the last 5 years, with a few bits (DL-4, Microkorg) going back to the '00s.
  • Even with the Moog One the MicroKorg stays 🙏🙂‍↕️ MICROKORG FOREVER

Cons

  • All "performace / workstation" synths from Korg, Roland, and Yamaha are multi timbral. These are the modern MT-32s, the Microkorg is something else.
  • The microkorg can be sent patches but I believe it’s over midi and a bit janky.
  • My gear: MicroKorg
  • Parent context: When I think about a portable synth, I think MicroKorg. Reply: I really don’t want a microkorg

I've been a "DIY" musician for just about 20 years now *(got a MicroKorg back in 2005?)*

I fucking love it, already digging into the mods and sorting out how to tweak the sounds. Some of the presets are fucking hilarious but many of them sound just lovely.

The Microkorg is playing 2 different lead melodies in this one and it still sounds so nice, even though I’m only feeding it through my mixer’s internal reverb. MK was my first synth and I never regretted buying it✌🏾
