via the listing: "Hi here we have my very special Korg micro preset customised synth
I like to call it the" lounge lizard edition " on account of the faux crocodile skin top panel ;-)
When I got this it was tatty , the wood finish was rough but it was still a lovely synth
I had the case template remade in solid oak which has been finished in beeswax
It has had a uv led which indicated power and flashes in time with the lfo
It has been resprayed black
It has had cykongs CV mods which work great on all presets except synthe 1 , I think it's because it has a fixed attack , it works but is not as loud as it should be , it's not a fault it's just the way the cv mod works I'm afraid , the cv inputs are at the back and there is a switch to change between keyboard and cv , I can get 4 plus octaves in tune with my Kenton on this which is pretty damn good
The Portamento switch was broken when I bought it , I have replaced it with a similar toggle switch , the original switch was 3 way which had momentary Portamento when you pushed it up , this could not be sourced , I have added a push button to have momentary but currently only works inverted ie you can hold it down with Portamento on and Portamento is off when released Portamento is on , ok but not ideal I'll try and sort it out before sale I think I need to use a push to break instead of push to make switch that's all but if I can't it's no big deal anyway
This is a lovely and unique synth but it sounds really similar to my customised minikorg 700 which Is my favourite so it doesn't get used
If your looking for something special with useful cv mods this is a no brainer"
