The instruments that musicians recognize as "classic" are the most beloved and most used regardless of fashions and trends. The term "classic" represents musical instruments that are revolutionary in their field; such an instrument can be imitated but the distinctive character of the original will always stand out, while the passage of time can only improve it.

Twenty years ago microKORG portable synthesizer was introduced, also powered by batteries, with a versatile Vocoder and ready-to-use sounds, the ideal instrument for many genres of music, which revolutionized the playing and performances of many artists.

This compact synthesizer introduced many musicians who did not even play keyboards to the world of sound synthesis, originating a new way of making music that we now take for granted: a small keyboard simply placed on top of a larger one on stage, made to be used equally by enthusiasts and professionals alike, finding it in environments as diverse as personal or professional recording studios around the world, or in bedrooms.

microKORG originally introduced in 2002 has remained a popular instrument for two decades, many artists have taken advantage of its timbral possibilities in many hit songs, and it continues to this day to be a favorite choice among musicians and producers on stage and in the studio.

microKORG Crystal possesses a semi-transparent chassis that allows the electronic circuitry and interior to be seen; even the controls are semi-transparent, including knobs, Dial and Wheel. microKORG Crystal demonstrates its originality from any angle it is looked at.

It possesses a stainless front panel with a mirror finish that blends seamlessly with the semi-transparent knobs and Dials with a truly unique aesthetic impact in the musical instrument scene. The special aesthetic setup of microKORG Crystal features elegant aluminum side panels that give an overall Hi-Tech Look.

The package of microKORG Crystal includes a dedicated carrying bag made of transparent vinyl, thus further highlighting microKORG Crystal's transparent cabinet; an original way to show it offstage as well.
