Korg MicroKORG Synthesizer/Vocoder

Analog modeling and multiband vocoding in a compact, portable instrument.




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 truly creative ways.

A compact MIDI controller

The
microKORG's compact size is perfect for the musician or DJ looking to
add a synth to his or her setup when space is tight. It's also a great
choice for use in a computer-based music setup. The five realtime knobs
on the front panel can transmit MIDI messages (control changes), so they
can be used as controllers for software synthesizers. Use the 37-note
velocity-sensitive mini-keyboard for controlling other gear or for
recording and editing with your sequencer. And thanks to battery-power,
the microKORG is the ultimate portable controller when used with a
laptop computer!

Clear control and classic looks

There's
no complex menu structure—all parameters are located on the panel for
easy access to any function. A large dial and LED illuminated buttons
provide easy program selection even on a dark stage. With its beige-gold
body, wooden side panels and retro-influenced design, the microKORG has
a look that's both vintage and funky.
