is it wrong to want a microkorg?

Programming these is so horrible

The desktop Odyssey looks wonderful.

I have a MicroKorg XL. I've never really tried to edit presets, mostly use it for synth bass in a band I play in. I found that the Volca Bass is actually better for that then the MK, so now I just use it as a MIDI controller for the Volca.

i only found out about the volca(s) yesterday and now i'm kinda obsessed with em

I bought a Minilogue and love it.

For programming a microkorg you might want to look at synthgraphics. Granted buying the Behringer knob thing and the overlay is probably as expensive, still it might make it more fun.

I bought the same thing for my Juno 1 and it changed my life. Generally I recommend everybody buy a Roland Juno 1 and the BCR with overlay, as it's a great sounding synth and still cheap.

is programming a microKorg THAT difficult? it checks a lot of boxes for me right now and is within my budget. i'm not that worried about the presets as long as i can modify them, and i don't care if the UI is complicated as long as it makes some sort of sense.

microKORG XL+ i mean

also, 2:20 into this it turns into Tim and Eric show:

i had a microkorg years ago and it wasn't hard to program. if you already know you won't mind using a menu then you won't be disappointed

I haven't used mine since 2010 probably but I've been thinking about going back, seeing if I can't get some interesting sounds out of it with pedals etc.

Never used the computer editor though, just tweaked knobs.
