The main one is the keyboard, which takes up a bit of space unless you want to test your sequence patch quickly.

Next, there are some features on the unit that take up valuable real estate on the unit that I think are pretty useless. Granted, I handle every synth I own like the synth was made it out of fine china, so I doubt I will be breaking this thing anytime soon, but for those who are a bit harder on their gear, this is certainly something to note. It has a lightweight and plastic-like feeling that doesn't feel like it will hold up when used on the road. My list of critiques is relatively short but should indeed be noted!įirstly, I understand this is a gripe with any budget synthesizer because the build quality seems poor. While it doesn't come as a massive surprise, it's also good to note that the reverb, like the onboard chorus effect, is stereo! The sound is instantly recognizable as coming from that iconic era of the 80s and immediately conjures up nostalgia for some of Michael Jackon's most timeless music. While it did host a six-operator design with 32 algorithms built in, the simple fact that it had far fewer voices meant that any sound you did, be it mallets or basses, never sounded as texturally dense and rich as the original.Īnd sure, the Korg Volca FM2's six voices don't quite compete with the original Yamaha's 16 voices, but the added polyphony certainly helps get you much closer to the texture and tones of the original.Īs a producer of ambient music with lush soundscapes, the second thing that wowed me was the addition of that icy, crystalline reverb.

The original Tamaha DX7 had a thick and juicy FM timbre that the original Korg could never compete. Value for money is very interresting, I did not buy a digital piano Korg brand, prospective buyer I suggest you try it before making a decision.Right out of the gate, the first thing that caught my attention was the number of voices in this synth. I use it and almost 6 months I am very happy little flat finish for the top is not the lack of precision assembalage. The piano is pleasant sound card is the more "classic" that I could listen among all major brands of piano (yamaha, roland, casio, kawai.

The few panel settings are of obvious use in any case most often used mode piano with this type of machine. The 6 piano sounds included are good, classical piano is surprising in the lows and highs that are more difficult to reproduce the midrange. RH3 keyboard is very realistic, the keys are heavy and accurate sag. I too tried LOTS of material before I decide to buy the Korg, I wanted a digital piano with headphones for use with a budget of less than 1500 €. So super annoying on the piano sound and touch.
