Korg MicroKORG

via this auction. I almost put this one on MATRIXSYNTH-B
It's interesting to see this synth in time. The perspective now is obviously different than when it first came out, like the Trinity further below. I'm curious how these synths will age in time. The MicroKORG kind of reminds me of the DX7 of our time. It didn't really bring anything new aside from maybe it's compact package, but you see them everywhere. Compact and affordable does mean something...
I wonder how many of these sold.
