Joystick design

Post by Vytas D »

Tried M3 at a local store - could barely grab the joystic. For me it's important, I use it alot, even for vibrato (X axis, not Y). And it seemed placed too low. Have you got used to this new kind of joystick?

yep, I like it more than the joystick on the Trinity/Triton range. Can handle it much faster and very suitable for manual vibrato

I agree with you completely. It's a great joystick but way too low. Very awkward in trying to manipulate it. You have to train yourself to operate it at the top of the stick. It's fine if you have tiny fingers. Maybe Korg will make an extension that can be removed. The low position makes it much less vulnerable to being damaged. :)

You can go blind grabbing your joystick too much! HAHAHAHA J/K. :shock: The joystick is positioned pretty low like you say but I do like the fact that it is lit. It seems durable enough and I have gotten used to it. I do like the one on my TS though.
