Produces sound that is very close to analog synths
The sound quality that the Korg Microkorg has a warm quality to it. This helps to reduce the digital feel and gives it a more natural sound. Some even consider this to be quite comparable to analog synths.

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.
