Hi there,
I figured I'd be a well-behaved poster and piggy-back on this thread rather than start another 'what-mic-should-I-buy' thread.

I tried posting this in budget gear forum, but maybe it's not really too budget.
I wondered if anyone here has had any experience with the Korg Zero 8 (or even the zero 4).
