Cons
Con Some may find this uncomfortable due to the mini keys used
In order to achieve the compact footprint, Korg has decided to use mini keys in the Microkorg's design. While this definitely has its advantages in terms of portability, the flatter and slimmer surface of the keys and the reduced key travel can make it hard for traditional piano/keyboard players to play, at least at the start.
Con Being a digital synthesizer may be a no for some
Being a digital synthesizer means that this may not be a great option for those who want a pure analogue sound. However, there are some who think that this can sound very close to an analogue synth.
