I'd say the XL. Got mine when they were new and got bored of it. But I recently found there's a few sound banks online that you can download and swap out (which includes Microkorg bank for XL)

So it really comes down to which setup you prefer

Isnt it the same sound bank?

From what I've heard, I prefer the Microkorg

Essentially, but I think the XL version comes with a few newer ones and effects, as well as a higher polyphony (8 instead of 4)

Some say the XL is "colder" and more digital, where the original has a warmer sound. Synth purists could probably answer this better

Oh and the XL has a USB port, where the original needs an adapter for DAW use. Just another small difference

If you are serious, Microkorg

If you want a toy, XL

>>63864386
Why's that?

wouldn't a microkorg xl just be a regular korg

The only real advantage it has over the XL is a bit more user-friendly sound editing. If you would spend an extra $100 for just that, you are probably not that serious about it.

If it's that money is not a problem, definitely get an R3 instead. It is actually an improvement over the microkorg.
