Regardless of its hardware limitations, this thing has a seemingly infinite sea of sounds that require incatrate computer control to unlock (software sequencer).

It could really use more levels of distortion (like virus) and an LFO

The knobs seem pretty standard and are solid. But still has an overall feel of low qualityness.

200 would seem better fit

Tried forever to get sysex specs... had to reverse engineer w/ midiox

trance

the sound is pretty bad. I doesn't sound like a real analog synth...it sounds like a cheap casio keyboard sent through some delay and distortion and then looped

it actually has a lot of features, but good luck figuring them out. Korg boasts you can plug your guitar or CD player through its effects, but that "feature" is a complete joke. You can do a bunch of stuff via MIDI, the best of which is hooking it up to other electribes or any MIDI keyboard. You can also up/download new patches via the internet, etc, etc.

I don't know what's inside (because it sounds terrible), but externally the unit is solid and could probably take a few knocks

buying a new one of these would be a huge waste of money.
