ain't so micro

Post by gil videla »

the ESX is smaller that the Micro Sampler
(I'm not comparing specs) the term "micro" refers to size.
Sizewise, the new Micro Sampler isn't necessary that small...
I understand it includes a keyboard and all, but I'm picking on the name is all...

The name is mostly for marketing. It fits in the microKORG serie (small keyboard size) thus its name is quite logical.

I'm still waiting for some good reviews about it. I haven't seen that much yet about it, except for videos showing people beatboxing, sampling something and just playing back samples on the keys. Not really a full song with "real" drums and keyboard parts.
