The MicroKorg packs the power of the dual oscillator and all the sounds already appreciated in the famous MS 2000 into its engine. Its database contains not only the 71 waveforms prepared to reproduce "vintage" sounds, but also the most acclaimed timbres derived from the famous DW 8000, which marked one of the most decisive steps of Korg's career in the world of Synths.

At this point one might think of an instrument too "cut" for a specific sector and instead here is the difference! In addition to such innovative and retro timbres Korg also thoughtfully incorporated all the sounds that any musician could not do without.

We are talking about Electric Piano, Guitar, Bass, etc., this is so as not to feel the need for other instruments to complete the soundscape. Even today many connoisseurs are looking for those few examples of the famous Korg VC10 Vocoder, the instrument that created a new trend in Dance music.

Today in the MicroKorg, rightly, Korg wanted to reintroduce its 8 formants that made the Vocoder Sound famous, but with a technological addition.

In fact, it will also be possible to "capture" the formants of your voice immediately to be played on the keyboard. As if that were not enough, the "sampled" voice will be filterable to the point of turning it into a female voice or a child's voice. All the features that are needed in today's music could hardly be missed: from modulations such as Chorus, Flanger and Phaser to Stereo and Cross Delays with an EQ for the final touch of the MicroKorg sound.

These sounds will also have the ability to "move" in the arpeggiator with Up/Down, Alternate 1 and 2, Random and Trigger patterns. The two Audio inputs will also give you the ability to manipulate the sound of other instruments, CDs, and anything else you want in the MicroKorg's filters and effects. As soon as you lay your eyes on the MicroKorg you will have already read its specifications...All the controls are explanatory!

Each potentiometer has its own Route and Trend sounds are recallable simply by clicking. The look is really nice and eye-catching. The ergonomic design encapsulates the simple controls for easy and immediate use, just for those who like to have fun with music!
