A pal of mine is looking to purchase a Synth & has narrowed his search down to either the Microkorg or the Roland SH201 & he was asking me for my opinion & why.

Having looked at the specs of each device they seem to be pretty similar, both can be used as a midi controller and/or a synth, however the roland has a larger keyboard.

Ive read some online reviews & by all accounts the Roland does well.

Im thinking that the Roland would be the better purchase based on the fact that whilst the Microkorg is a good device its getting a little long in the tooth now.

What do you guys think, which do you think would be the better buy & why?

Is there perhaps another option to be considered? His budget is £450.

Any suggestions fellas?

Thanks

I assume you are after analogue sounding kit. I wouldnt spend out £450 on either of those bits of kit, as they are limiting in what they can do.

For £450 you could pick yourself up a second hand Korg MS2000, the bigger version of the Microkorg, with more functionality and still a vocoder unit.

You'd also be able to buy a Roland JP8000 second hand for that money. Which is far more flexible and powerful than a Roland SH201.


Check out ebay first, and see whats out there, or the classified ads, or Loot even. You'd be suprised what £450 can buy you these days.
