When (or more likely IF) I'm getting a keyboard, I'll probably go with the Micron. Hard to explain, but it had more of 'it' than the MicroKorg.

Microkorg has the seeexy vintage hip-hip looks, but yea.
I think the interface with all he buttons could be easier.

The MicroKORG is a great synth for guitarists or people that are just stepping into the world of keys and synths. When it comes to flexibility, pretty much the only thing the MicroKORG has over the Micron is that you do have those controls right there. I've used the Korg for years and I love it.
However, the Micron has that sequencer, soooo... I remember being torn between the two of them way back when I got the Korg, and I sort of still am. They're different, the sounds are different, and their strengths lie in different areas, and they're both excellent.

That's monophonic. The KORG has a four note polyphony and I'm sure the Electron has an even higher polyphony. That's because they're used for fairly different things, and the sounds they produce would be quite distinct from each other.

I have an belief,that MicroKORG is really good at reproducing vintage synth sounds.
and the Alesis is more modern etc.. I dont know..havnt played neither of them,just watched too much videos.

Wow, totally didn't expect this one to get bumped after linking to it in the other thread.

Definitely not. One of my favorite sounds is the Mellotron flute dealy, and it can be copied quite well on the Micron.
I'm still extremely happy with the Micron and feel like I have barely even begun to dig into all of its features. The whole "depress encoder knob/press key" programming method on the Micron is actually quite nice once you've become acclimated to it.
The whole "lack of controls" issue with the Micron is quickly negated by the fact that all of the controls on the panel are assignable to control any parameter for each preset. To quote myself in an earlier post:

I'm still not sure about that one.
There are actually a bunch of other great synths that have popped up in the sub-$500 range since I made this post as well.

On the MicroKORG it is possible to affect almost every aspect of the sound in realtime, but it involves all sorts of turning of knobs and such. It's obviously not as easy as having all of the controls placed right in front of you, so in that respect, I'd say that despite the paltry extra controls on the front of the MicroKORG, it's pretty much on an equal footing with the Micron. And the Korg most definitely can manage modern sounds.
Again, the way I see it is this: Both are excellent keyboards. The Micron is ever-so-slightly more expensive, and I think that extra outlay is justified in spades by the inclusion of a sequencer.

its best to listen to them both & whichever sounds one is initially attracted to, that should be the one to get.

I have a friend who bought a micron and returned it a few days later. Didn't get the sound he wanted. Now he is back to his casio mt-240.
