[edit] Andre 3000

In the section on sightings, there is a line that says that Andre 3000 has been sighted with a microKORG in the music video for "Hey Ya!". Before I removed it, there was text beside this line saying "(No he doesnt)". Can anyone confirm that he does or does not have a microKORG in this video? Zendik 22:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

He most certaily did not have one. I just saw the video and i know what a microkorg looks like.

[edit] Revelation

When did the microKORG come out? --Abdull 09:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Band advertisements

I think some of the bands listed as using microkorgs don't belong. Some of them (I'm mostly looking at showbread) seem like advertisements for unknown bands. If a band doesn't deserve their own wiki entry, they probably don't deserve a place on the list.

[edit] they aren't that obscure

Showbread isn't an unknown band...They're more popular than I wish they were. I'm adding them back in if they were removed.

[edit] Sightings

I dont think its necassary to have 'uses a microKORG' at the end of every bullet point. Perhaps the title here could be changed to "famous past & present users of the microKORG" to fix this--Alexdude1991 09:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

The section is an embarrassment. I believe it should be deleted, and replaced with a sentence that reads "The MicroKorg has proved popular with electronic musicians, and has been used by EXAMPLE1, EXAMPLE2, and EXAMPLE3, amongst others". In its current form the list dwarfs the content of the article, contains no useful information whatsoever, and is a magnet for tiny minds. -Ashley Pomeroy 15:38, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah come to think of it I totally agree. It's the same syle as you'd find on uncyclopedia, and should be removed. --Alexdude1991 23:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

You have my vote to get rid of it. If you keep it, fix it, shorten it, whatever, then take note of the fact that there's no actual heading for it at the moment. 74.65.6.62 02:07, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, the deed is done. I've tried to capture a range of different musicians in just four or five examples. It's silly to try and list everyone who has ever used a MicroKorg - there's a difference between information and knowledge. The plethora of MySpace artist links were generally not notable, although I mean no insult to the music-makers; collectively the MySpace links indicate that the MicroKorg has widespread appeal, but that's the kind of observation that would be more suitable for an essay than an objective facts-and-figures encyclopaedia. It would be interesting to know the MicroKorg's sales figures, particularly relative to the competition. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 01:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
