Im going to be selling my korg micrKontrol soon as I am beginning keyboard lessons and need a full size keyboard to learn with.
The microKontrol is a great little keyboard and midi controller. It features 16 pads, 37 keys, 8 endless rotary knobs and 8 faders and an X/Y joystick (which doubles as a button).
It is great for production, allowing you to take full control of Software synths and DAW's including Reason and Ableton aswell as live performance or Dj'ing. All functions are programmable from within the microKontrol (allowing for control of external hardware without a computer, in conjunction with the AC adapter or batteries) aswell as through software. The pads can be set as notes, allowing you to use it in conjunction with samplers or synths, which allows you to get a better and more human feel to your beats.
The keyboard/controller is only a year old and is in perfect condition. It was mainly used for its keyboard functions (controlling soft synths).
Click here for Korg site on the microKontrolRemix mag (US) ReviewMusic Tech Mag Review (given 9/10)If you mite be interested or want to know more about it then just send me a message. Otherwise I will be putting it for sale on ebay soon.
Thanks,
Shane
