microkorg used: what to see working

[ellaguru]

hi guys

one of this days i will probably try it at someone wich sold it.
what are the things to see if they're sort of "hidden and broken" on this machine?

thanx

well unless u can see it in person the keys would probably be the main thing... the knobs are really sturdy if well taken care of. its built to be portable and ive propped it against the wall a few times just to see it topple over and live...

i will see this beast in the next days...
last question: in a "normal situation", do the ac/dc thing come with?

Hey ella, I bought a used mk twice; one of them had a few issues...
Make sure to check the buttons (octave shift + banks) and the potis otherwise it's a solid piece... and yeah it's coming with an ac adapter...

First thing to do is to initialize the internal patches.
Have fun with it; took me a while to get into it but it's a dope instrument...

Hello, I have bought a used mk one year and a half ago and was ok.
But before buying it of course try it and just check about everything especially the keys and any potentiometer.. Yes the ac dc thing comes with it when you buy it new! hope this helps.

thanx man
sure this helps!
(unfortunately this "sucker" i contacted for the MK is disappeared )
