With 37 keys and 128 user-rewritable programs, the Korg MicroKORG Synthesizer/Vocoder is perfect for the musician looking for a serious yet affordable synthesizer. It provides powerful synthesis with the same dual-oscillator DSP synthesis engine found in the MS2000, and offers a wider selection of waveforms than most other modeled synths. It also has an 8-band vocoder with many advanced features, a full range of effects, and a flexible arpeggiator. 2 audio inputs let you process other instruments through it. Also serves as a compact MIDI controller. Comes with its own microphone.
Powerful synthesis
The microKORG boasts the same dual-oscillator DSP synthesis engine found in Korg's critically acclaimed MS2000 and offers a wider selection of waveforms than any other modeled synth. Oscillator 1 features a total of 71 waveforms. These include traditional analog waves like saw, pulse, sine and noise, plus more unique choices like Vox wave and cross wave. Together they provide a cool selection that can be modulated to produce an extensive range of timbres. In addition, 64 exclusive DWGS waveforms from Korg's classic DW-8000 enable the microKORG to reproduce a broad collection of imitative sounds. Sounds like bells, electric pianos, guitars, basses and more that would be difficult reproduce on an analog synthesizer. You can also apply Ring and Sync modulation from Oscillator 2 to create the kind of complex timbres that are the true sign of an advanced synthesizer.
Four filter modes are available, offering -12 dB (2-pole) low pass, high pass and band pass configurations plus an extra steep -24 dB (4-pole) low pass setting. All include resonance. Two classic ADSR envelope generators and two MIDI-syncable LFOs provide the power to shape your sounds. Add a Virtual Patch matrix that lets you create advanced modulation settings-routing the Mod Wheel to control filter cutoff or pulse width, using an LFO to control panning or amp level, etc.-and you have performance that is unheard of from a synthesizer in this price range!
Classic vocoding
The microKORG includes an 8-band vocoder with many advanced features. You can capture and "freeze" the formants of your voice, and then play it across the keyboard, or shift the formant frequency to make your voice sound male, female, like a child or just plain wacky! Best of all, the microKORG comes with its own microphone so you can start having fun right away.
A full range of effects
Three types of modulation effects (chorus/flanger, phaser, ensemble), three types of delay effects (stereo, cross, L/R), and a two-band equalizer add the finishing touch to the microKORG. The delays can be synchronized with the arpeggiator or to an external MIDI clock-a great feature for live performances or for laying down tracks. All effects can be edited to create your own, unique sounds.
Great sounds and expression
Korg has used all of the microKorg's synthesis power in the creation of 128 great-sounding presets. They cover a wide range of the latest musical styles plus many vintage favorites. Sixteen vocoder Programs are also included. The Pitch Bend wheel, Modulation wheel, and five other knobs provide flexible realtime control over filter cutoff, attack, release and other important parameters. The Edit Mode allows you to fully edit the existing sounds, or to create your own new ones.
Flexible arpeggiator
Six types of arpeggio patterns (UP, DOWN, ALT1/2, Random, Trigger) are built in, with control over tempo, gate time, swing, and up to a 4-octave range. You can turn individual steps on or off within a pattern, providing the feel and functionality of a step sequencer.
Audio in
Two external audio input jacks are provided, so you can run other instruments, CDs and more through the microKORG's filter and effects, allowing you to process sounds in
Powerful synthesis The microKORG is a serious yet compact synthesizer with a strong personality, giving you the true enjoyment of creating sounds. The microKORG boasts the same dual-oscillator DSP synthesis engine found in Korg's critically acclaimed MS2000, and offers a wider selection of waveforms than any other modeled synth. The microKORG’s multi-mode filter offers two types of low-pass filter (-12 dB/-24 dB), a band-pass, or a high-pass filter. The amp section allows you to shape the volume of the sound over time. You can also switch a powerful distortion on/off. Two classic ADSR envelope generators and two MIDI-syncable LFOs provide the power to shape your sounds. Add a Virtual Patch matrix to create advanced modulation settings - routing the Mod Wheel to control filter cutoff or pulse width, using an LFO to control panning or amp level, etc. You have performance that is unheard of from a synthesizer vocoder in this price range.
Classic vocoder and up to 128 programs The microKORG includes an eight-band vocoder with many advanced features. You can capture and "freeze" the formants of your voice, and then play it across the keyboard, or shift the filter frequencies to make your voice sound male, female, like a child, or just plain wacky! The microKORG also comes with its own microphone so you can start having fun right away. In addition, the microKORG contains 128 programs covering a wide range of current and classic synth and vocoder sounds. Thanks to the clear genre categories, you can easily access the sounds you need. Just select the music style/sound category you want and pick a sound! Once you select a sound, the five knobs will control the most important functions you would want in performance for immediate results.
A full range of effects The microKORG provides three types of modulation effects (chorus/flanger, phaser, ensemble), three types of delay effects (stereo, cross, L/R), and a two-band equalizer to add the finishing touch to your sound. The delay effect can be synchronized with the arpeggiator or an external MIDI clock, a great feature for live performances and groove-oriented music. All effects can be edited simply by turning knobs to create your own unique sounds.
Flexible arpeggiator and Audio in Six types of arpeggio patterns (UP, DOWN, ALT1/2, Random, Trigger) are built in. You can adjust the length and resolution of the arpeggiated notes, and switch steps on and off, to produce cool patterns easily. In addition, the microKORG provides two external audio input jacks. You can apply filtering or effects to an external sound, such as a sampler or other audio source, to create truly original sounds.
A compact MIDI controller The microKORG is perfect for use in a computer-based music production setup. The five knobs on the panel can transmit MIDI messages (control changes), so they can be used as controllers for software synthesizers. You can use the 37-note velocity-sensitive mini-keyboard for recording into your sequencer. And thanks to the battery-powered operation, the compact microKORG is the ultimate portable controller when used with a laptop computer!
Classic Looks, Clear Control With its beige-gold body color, wooden side panels, and a retro-feeling design, the microKORG has a look that's both vintage and funky. A large dial and LED illuminated buttons provide easy program selection, even on a dark stage. There's no complex menu structure: all parameters are listed and accessible from the panel for easy access to any function.
