I can use the XL as a controller, but while I can play local sounds from the XL into this channel, I cant get any sound from the FL Studio plug-in keyboard for the MicroKorg XL to make sound. Please keep in mind that want to recreate ambient, "chill" sounds as listed above, and not dubstep or techno sounds. Im having some trouble with getting my MicroKorg XL to produce sound into the MicroKorg channel in the step sequencer. I would really appreciate your opinions, specially if you own any of the two. You shouldn't always need a laptop to jam! One disadvantage Mininova has over the Microkorg is the lack of batteries. Also, the Microkorg has a kinda limited polyphony, (only four notes at a time) even though I think I could solve that by recording each note individually productid545 for microkorg XL+ owners you can convert this soundbank in the microkorg XL+ editor by selecting import microkorg xl library data from. I'm not sure the Microkorg can trigger MIDI notes, though. Mininova has one big advantage over the Microkorg, this being the USB connection that enables the synth to trigger MIDI notes to any DAW. So which one should I buy? I would go for Microkorg, but pretty much everyone says that Mininova is a more capable, better synth (even though it sounds a bit worse than the Microkorg to me). On the other hand, I haven't found much videos featuring the Mininova that actually convinced me, just this one: It just sounds better to my ears.Īfter a bit of digging, I found these videos that show the potential of this synth: To be honest, the Microkorg sounds warmer, more analogue, to me.
Now, I've been listening to demos of both synths. I must say I was originally going to buy the Microkorg without much hesitation, but then I found out about the Mininova and now I'm not sure which one to buy. Lately I've been planning on buying a synth in the >400€ price range.Īfter some research, I've narrowed my choices to two: the Microkorg and the Mininova.
