Analog Modeled Synth and Vocoder!
The microKorg delivers the quality sounds and features you expect from Korg at a price that will astound you. Powerful synthesis is the nature of this beast! 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 almost any other modeled synth. In addition, 64 exclusive DWGS waveforms from Korg's classic DW-8000 enables you to reproduce a broad collection of imitative sounds that are traditionally difficult reproduce on an analog synthesizer with the microKorg.

8-band vocoder
The microKORG also 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. Combine all of this with four filter modes, three types of modulation effects (chorus/flanger, phaser, ensemble), three types of delay effects (stereo, cross, L/R) and a two band EQ and you have all the tools you need to make driving leads that cut through your mix or lush pads that takes your audience to synthesis heaven.
Flexible presets and audio inputs

"What can I say other than WOW!!! The microKORG has all you need in a synth in a small affordable package. From the complex sounding arpeggiator to the versatile vocoder, the microKORG is a great unit for any electronic music writer to add to their collection. When you sit down with the microKORG, it pretty much forces you to create with its very distinct sound and ease of use. In fact, it is so user-friendly you can create your own unique patches with the simple push of a button."

"This keyboard is going to be legend. The microKORG is one of those keyboards that a begineer can define his music career with. It's also a synth that any keyboard player would love to add to his rig for the vocoding capabilites. I love the arpeggiators, the bass sounds, and the way that Korg separates its sounds in a genre-specific manner. The microKORG is destined to be a synth legend you will never want to sell."
