@KorgUSAVideos Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Dammit i hate that MIDI crap, damn computers they ruin everythin

The microKORG XL does not have a dedicated pedal input, but it can be used with any external controller using the MIDI IN port.

There are no speakers built in, you will need either headphones or an audio destination (mixer, amplifier, speakers, etc).

Is it any expensive?? And i wanna know, is there footswitch and foot controller options on it?? Cuz ive seen some recent synths that didnt have any of them
March 10th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
do you need a speaker for this? or is it built in?
March 10th, 2010 at 4:57 pm
good times! thanks for the info
March 10th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
@bawzofgray- It definitely can. It works with USB or standard MIDI connections, and the editor software features a CC map section that allows you to customize the controls.

can it be used as a midi controller?
March 10th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
@cnovak22 – It does not have built-in speakers. There is a 1/4″ headphone output, and left/right 1/4″ outputs.

He _did_ play a dead rat! AND made it sound like the coolest instrument in the world.
As an antique studio/Serge/Buchla type o’ guy, I touched up this thing in the shop while waiting for my turn, expecting *nothing* of it.
Boy was I blown away. More fun for less money, and I’m definitely buying one.
I’ll tell the wife it’s for the kids though, so next time I need a 30,000$ thing, she won’t go: “But wasn’t it way cheaper last time, hon?”

Damn. . . this guy is a beast on keys! Superb!
March 10th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
THIS SYNTH IS KICKASS!
March 10th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
does this let you input and record mp3 format music through the usb port or headphone port and live remix songs like that?
March 10th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
damn, this is class!
I bet Formidoni could play a dead rat and make it sound like the coolest instrument in the world
March 10th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
Rich Formidoni is a badass. I like the way he walks off at the end.
March 10th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
your mom has huge retro knobs
March 11th, 2010 at 12:07 am
Does it have drum beats or any sort of drumming on it?
March 11th, 2010 at 12:47 am

The octave control FTW
March 11th, 2010 at 1:43 am
yeah i saw that but it would take too long to switch the sounds when playing live. I actually thought for like $100 more the Roland SH-201 would be a way better buy andit has like 4 banks with 8 presets each.
this looks like a nice recording synth but not live unless you use like one patch per song, but im always changing and i need alot of fast presets
