My birthday is coming up, I've been saving cash, and I probably be able to afford a decent synth. I really want one of these, but I don't know which. Any one have any experience with them?
There are pros and cons to both. For example, the Alesis has drum kits built in, which is something that I want (but I suppose I could probably make up for it with Fruity Loops), but isn't as easy to control sound wise. The Microkorg has a lot of easy to use control and more ways to control (that I could figure out anyway), but no drums, and really small keys, but it also has a vocoder. I've played with both, the Microkorg more because it was easier to figure out, but I wasn't really able to reach a conclusion.
Anyone have/played/tried/humped them? If so, what do you think?
