With 4 note poly, you will not be a very happy camper. |

| i would get an SH 202 instead, it should be in the same price range. |

I noticed it only had 4 poly, but this is for making house/electro.
I didnt think it would be a big deal?

Roland SH 201

keep in mind its a cheap synth, you can get one new for very little money.
It has the Supersaw waveform, audio inputs and USB/VST intergration.
Its more appropriate than the microKorg i would think. |

ok i found one it looks fat.
Im not really into the supersaw..why would you say its more appropriate? because of the ease of use? |

yes, its designed to teach basic synthesis.
That being said, i personally wouldnt buy any of them. |

i like the microkorg more specifically for its vocoding
but for an overall synth the sh-201 i think is a better option :toothless
i think however if you are going for a really dirty (ed banger records) sound maybe the microkorg is a better option? |

| out of the two, get the sh-201. I have the microkorg and its a pain in da ass to program.. fun but a pain in da asss. |

| or get a second hand Korg MS2000(r), which is the same engine as the microkorg but with a knobby interface |

Thanks for the info Pjotr.
It looks ok and its cheap as.
Ultimatley I want a synth mainly for bass, fairly dirt sound and on a tight budget :) |

| i have the microkorg. it's good but the polyphony can be limiting at times. when a patch uses dual oscillators, the polyphony is actually reduced to two :/ in any case, it's a unique synth and programming makes for many possibilities. i don't know much about it, but you may also want to consider the comparable alesis micron synth. |
