Thanks for watching it, glad to do it justice as this synth has been largely overlooked :) #Gearfacts

Yep, and so much more :) #Gearfacts

My pleasure!

Thanks Tarik :)

Hey if you can work with the small number of keys then go for it. It absolutely IS a great sound palette :)

It even has software to download. If the keybed isn’t long enough, it can be used as a sound rack, meaning you can take a bigger board and run the micro x with midi cables.

It's a lot of power for its size alright :) #Gearfacts

Ha ha. What a story Mark!

Yeah the Casio would be my last choice personally. The Korg EK50 is nice and professional-sounding, easy to operate and has very nice keys. The Yamaha PSR-E463, with it's control knobs and sampling, is the most fun of all of them, it will really make your audience smile! So the Casio = great sounds but hard to use, Korg = high class for a real musician, Yamaha = sexy time ;) #Gearfacts

@@gearfacts you make me smile about sexy time hahaha. Ek50 was gaining that's battle thanks to your conclusion i Will take it. Thank you so much buddy!

@@ladaga85 Happy to help. Please share Gearfacts on Facebook etc! :)

It needs speakers but apart from that it's all ready to go :)

It has a 3.5mm jack in the front for headphones too

I’ve heard they have the same sound engine, don’t know if that’s true

@@gearfacts yep. The HI sound engine from the triton series. I’m fact, x50 has the same 64 mb as the korg tr, and korg tr has the same 32 as the Triton Le, plus 32 additional MB’s. So the x50 and micro x are way powerful than they look

Update: I now own them both😊😊

Yeah after hearing the lead sounds in the M50 I'm thinking of tracking another Micro-X down, just to see if it can do similar things (in a more manageable size)

The sounds are great, but think of it just as a sound module. That 25-key layout is really just an input tool, it's no good for playing. I think the Xiosynth sounds a bit more out-of-date (I still like it though)

@@gearfacts just sad they didn't do a joystick on this one. i mean, it's a korg after all...

@@EnochDark What do you mean by "joystick"?

@@EnochDark it does have a joystick! The mod stick looks like it only goes left-right but it goes up-down too!

I love the X50! I reviewed it years ago but it's way out of date. Looking forward to doing it again one day.

I agree, I went in way too close for this vid. And yep it's a nice synth, it's only the 25 key thing that turned me off.

@@gearfacts hmmm its got midi in and out so you could wack a sequencer or ext keyboard into it and boom. sequence + moar keys ! sonically, it should really have more keys like 49 or 61 at least.... nxt video look like a skate vid with fish eye :)

Yes it does!

Ahh mine's long gone sorry - this is a video I've get in reserve for a few weeks while I create new stuff. They appear for sale in the usual places quite frequently though for approx $US230

Ahh so many reasons. For me, the most important difference is for live performance. It's just an opinion, but I think taking a laptop on stage is an unforgivable performance-killer. There's no disputing the versatility and general superiority of VSTs though, so I hear what you're saying.

Data loss is just dreadful....

What software is needed?

Version 1.5 of the editor works with win10 without problems. I use mine as a 16 channel sound module - straight into ios Korg Gadget. Saves my ipads cpu, gives great sounds, and through the editor you can set levels of the channels, effects, panning and more - or just the levels if you want a uniform effect setting for the whole track. Then you can mix it all in cubasis after finishing the instrument tracks in Gadget.

It's a beautiful t'ing :)

Bargain, I think they're worth more like $250-$300

Same here i got the black one. Not much use for it. But it looks pretty :)

Wow that's a big call! But sure :)
