    Roland SH 201 vs Korg Micro Korg

    in Keys, Synths & Samplers

    Posted

    I checked out the Alesis Micron and I have to say I really like the sounds that it can create. The only thing I didn't like is that the pitch-shift wheel is on the top and might be annoying to reach over the keyboard...Does anyone know if the same sounds can be created on the sh 201? Would I be getting better value out of the SH 201?

     

    The SH-201 is a very minimalist synthesizer. Besides turning on the cheesy Trance styled arpeggios, everything from this synth is going to sound like it came from 1978. It's like the digital equivalent of an SH-05, but polyphonic.

     

    The Micron is a MUCH deeper and more modern synthesizer (FM, more effects, sequencer), however, you'll need to know what you're doing in order to make the most of it since programming is done in a step-by-step, menu-by-menu process.

     

    If you don't know anything about synthesizers, the SH-201 would be a safer route which you can learn on and replace later.
