MicroX vs Microkorg

[FLi]

Dammit,

And just as I thought I was in studio happiness, I find a Microkorg for next to nothing. This raises somewhat of a dilemma for me...I don't spend enough time in my studio to warrant yet another synth purchase (especially just after I got the MicroX, which I havent explored at all yet) but....the Microkorg is a synth I have wanted since it came out.

So....the million dollar question is...

Do I get rid of the MicroX (with its lovely VST editor) to get a Microkorg. Or...do I severely piss off my girlfriend and just buy the Microkorg (which is possibly going to sit next to my Virus (and MicroX) gathering dust for the next few months) ???

Who out there has had experience with both ???

Why would the MicroKorg appeal to you at all for any price, when you've got the MicroX and Virus? A low priced MK might be fine for a poor kid who can't afford anything else and who can live with the 4 max poly until he gets enough money to afford better.

The MicroX Triton engine packs a lot more power than the MK. Spend some serious time making patches on the MicroX and I don't think you'll even care about the MK.

I see many Microkorg for sale second hand. That makes me think that they're not really fun for very long.

I agree with xmlguy, the microkorg is sure fun, but it won't do anything that your Virus can't.
however, if you're ever playing in a live setting, the extra keyboard and synth can be useful.

but replacing your microX, no way, they are completely different kinds of synths and the microkorg isn't a worthy replacement in any way, its much more limited than the sample+synthesis HI engine in the mX. if I were to get it, i'd just get it, and keep the mX too.

Well thats that....every forum jive been on has said the same thing.

I'll buy the Microkorg and keep the MicroX as well.
