Korg microKorg 37-Key Analog Modeling Synthesizer with Vocoder
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!

Who knew playing with the microKORG S would be so much fun?! I have always been interested in the microKORG, but I never purchased it because I didn’t want to deal with setting it up with a speaker system. Korg has now beefed up the original microKORG with a new white look with more features and now built-in speakers with the microKORG S! I honestly love this little synthesizer. It’s small, portable, has a bunch of cool sounds and effects, and even has extra ports to store your own created noises without replacing the stock sounds. I have even set it…
Big surprise, in a small synth! This synth is a little monster! I have the novation ultranova, and to me this sounds much juicier and warmer, and clearer. It is really straight forward to edit, the mini keys aren’t bad, they aren’t really hard to play on and are pretty well cushioned so it’s not like most synth action keys that feel hollow and plastic.To me the sounds are the best and the adjustments are really well laid out. I don’t think you’ll find something as good at this price, It can do the work of a few different…
