Hello my friends today we are creating sounds from scratch on the new limited edition Korg MicroKORG Crystal. It's the same as the original microkorg but shiny!
The OG MK was my first synthesizer many years ago and now I have this beautiful commemorative model to remember it by... I was not expecting to love it so much right away! Sure its a little tricky to program if you cant read the small print too easy, but for me it was like riding a bike and I was right back in it (I remember a lot of the important positions and knob assignments so that was cool).
For this video we are going to focus on making big pulse-width modulating sounds with some long slow synth pad movement. I'm going to try and use as much of the features of the synth engine that I can including the built-in effects and virtual-patch section. The microKORG only has 4 voices, but it can sound huge with the right programming.
Stick around and let me know what you think!
