I don't think the adjectives 'substantial' or 'rugged' will be on the tips of many tongues seeking to describe this vision in black and silver plastic. The Microstation's back panel features a single pedal input, MIDI I/O, a contrast control for the front panel LCD, an SD Card slot, a USB 2 port, stereo quarter‑inch jack outputs and a socket for the external 9V power supply. And when it comes to the all‑important polyphony round up, the new boy squares up with an unexpected 120 voices, exceeding its larger sibling by 40 voices! Therefore, if you salivated over the M50's plush Korgness but your budget didn't match your appetite, or if you preferred something significantly smaller and lighter, the Microstation could be the OASYS spin-off you've been waiting for.

Its sequencer - a vital workstation component - comes close to that of the M50, on paper at least. The Microstation's tale isn't all about economy and reduction. Fortunately, this criticism will be negated for many users by the inclusion of free editor software. The second wince comes when you peer at the two‑line display and realise that any task beyond a spot of superficial editing won't be fun. Leaving aside the externals for a moment, the first twinge isn't visibly obvious: in place of the M50's 256MB of wave ROM, the Microstation has just 49MB to play with. Indeed, much of the Microstation's functionality echoes Korg's impressive M50 - but at around half the price! Of course, not even Korg can shrink an already trimmed‑down instrument without some pain. The Microstation is the latest addition to Korg's 'Micro' range, and to their illustrious line of synth workstations.

This keyboard worked with my DAW so it was easy for me to create music on my PC with this keyboard.Korg's latest keyboard blurs the boundaries between their affordable 'Micro' range and their pro workstations. This board is great for gigging as well as creating music in a studio because it has a one track at a time sequencer that makes everything pretty simple to work with.

The drum kits are ok, nothing that really stood out to me and some of them even sound very similar to the kits that are on my Fantom X6. There are also 33 drum kits and 89 total effects to choose from on this keyboard.

The basses are probably my favorite sounds because they are all full and thick, this is not what I would expect to get out of a “cheaper” board. The electric pianos and basses are really good. This synth has some really good sounds, and for it to be less than 500 bucks you probably will not find a better synth on the market that is built this well while still being portable. It is easy to transfer back and forth from my PC to the Keyboard too via the SD card slot.

But the manual covers everything so it was not hard it just took a little more time than I thought that it would.

Using this synth took a little more time than I expected because I had to learn the layout of it. They made me feel very comfortable while playing melodies and chords. The keys on this synth are touch sensitive and have a great feel to them. It is one of the more affordable keyboards that I can actually say that I enjoyed working with from start to finish because most synths in this range are pretty dull. The Korg microArranger is a 61 key professional workstation synth.
