evolutions did not feel right to me and I did not like them as much... Last weekend I 
played with them again at the local GC. I could not get them to open a korg box. The 
Korg micro was on display however and I think the feel on the keys on it might be 
similar.

The Pads on the MicroKontrol are okay - they are at least as good as though on most 
drum machine and I *think* they are velocity sensitive. The Joystick should be great 
for stuff like Zebra or ES2 or that Wavestation softsynth. Heck, I'd like to own a KP2!

The keys on the Korg are light and "springy" (for lack of a better adjective) - and I 
mean that in a good way. It was 'fun' to play.

are different as well as the other synths. It isn't the keys for me, I sub that with a s-80 
when I have things set up... Much to think and ponder....

Yes, it saves it settings. You should check out the PDF manual from the Korg site.
