microKORG with Built-in Speakers

The microKORG S synthesizer/vocoder is loaded with a built-in speaker system, a great new look, and 64 additional sounds. And it delivers the same quality sounds and features that have made the microKORG a legend for 15 years! A powerful dual-oscillator synthesis engine offers a wide selection of waveforms for you to play with. Exclusive DWGS waveforms from Korg's classic DW-8000 reproduce a broad collection of imitative sounds that are traditionally difficult to reproduce on an analog synthesizer. An 8-band vocoder yields all kinds of crazy vocal effects. The uber-portable microKORG S synthesizer/vocoder can run from a power supply or six AA batteries.

Korg microKORG S 37-key Synthesizer/Vocoder at a Glance:
  • Updated features for the coolest microKORG yet
  • 8-band vocoder offers cool vocal effects
  • Flexible presets and audio inputs
Updated features for the coolest microKORG yet

The microKORG S's built-in 2.1 speaker system delivers top-notch sound without unsightly speaker holes. These speakers take the microKORG S to a whole new level of portability, with no speakers, monitors, or other connections required. Just pop in six AA batteries, and you're good to go! Korg updated this synthesizer/vocoder with a white panel and light wood ends for a killer new look. And the number of banks has doubled since the last iteration of the microKORG, from two to four, with an additional 64 sounds.

8-band vocoder offers cool vocal effects

The microKORG S 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 S 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 2-band EQ, and you have all the tools you need to make driving leads that cut through your mix or lush pads that take your audience to synthesis heaven.

Flexible presets and audio inputs

To get you started, Korg has included 192 great-sounding presets covering a wide range of musical styles. Two external audio input jacks are provided so you can run other instruments, pre-recorded music, and more through the microKORG S's filter and effects for even more creative possibilities.

SWEET INSTRUMENT!!!
Wow!!! This Korg MicroKorg S really is sweet. It has all those presets and you can create more. I trying to decide on this one or the Novation MiniNova. I wanted a synth with a built in Vocoder. I have some songs I have written and I'd like to try this in my songwriting. After much research and conferring with Nate Hutson at Sweetwater, I decided on the MicroKorg. I'm glad I did. It's somewhat of a learning curve but it's pretty much straight forward. I like the built in speaker, being able to hook up to one of my amps and the headphone output too. The grandson likes the instrument as well. He's being creative too. I'd like to thank Nate Hutson and Sweetwater for everything. You guys rock. Been going to you guys for a few years now and will continue as a regular customer.

Best starter synth out there
This was the first synth I’ve purchased and wow it’s held up for everything I wanted it to do. If you’re into modern psychedelic bands like Tame Impala or Pond with all those crazy synth sounds, this will do the trick even without a daw. It also has plenty of great patches already installed for numerous other genres. I totally recommend this.
If you want to get your kids in to synths...
What I love about this synth is that it is a really powerful VA synth, well implemented, with the same legendary features as the original microkorg, but has inbuilt speakers. Some people will say you will always use headphones, but if you've got kids, where's the fun in that? With this, if I feel like mucking around with synths, but you've got a bored child on your hands, pull out this and have some fun with them!
And it's a REAL synth to boot.
Micro Korg S
As always, Sweet Water is awesome and gear arrived right on time. When I opened the box ,I was in awe of how nice it looked and felt. The wood side panels and white color really look great. When I plugged it in and turned it on , I was surprised how good the sound was from the speakers. I Loved the sound, I couldn"t stop playing, and I can not wait to start Recording music with it. Definitely happy with the purchase. Thanks Robert and the whole sweet water team.
