Product Description
Korg MICROKORG 37 Key Keyboard Synthesizer With 8 Band Vocoder 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.
- Classic vocoding: 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 touches to the microKORG.
- 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.
- 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.
- Audio in - Creativity out: 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 compact size of the microKORG synthesizer vocoder is perfect for the musician or DJ looking to add a synth to his or her setup when space is tight and it is a great choice for use in a computer-based music setup.
This Bundle Also Includes :
- Tote-Style Bag.
- Single X Keyboard Stand.
Customer Reviews
And as much competition as there is in the market right now for tiny but powerful analog modelling MIDI synths, I came back to the original MicroKorg because it just feels so right.
I will spare you a review of the actual keyboard... you can check out the standalone item if you want reviews of the keyboard. This review is to focus more on the bundle itself.
Pros:
Bundled stand and bag for the same price as a standalone MicroKorg
Bag bears Korg logo, is very nice quality for a free bag
Cons:
Keyboard stand is universal X style frame, with an adjustable bracket in the center that widens the X. There are 5 different settings for height and width but 3 of them are too wide to hold the MicroKorg. The only two settings that work bring the micro korg up to belly button and then armpit level when standing so forget about using this stand and sitting in a chair.
Other thoughts:
I have owned this synth for 5 years since it was new and even today I will listen to the radio and hear a preset from this synth on a recording. Gorillaz, Mates of State, Chromeo, Crystal Castles, LCD Soundsystem, Metric, Royksopp, and lots of struggling indie bands just to name a few.
This should tell you that the sounds are not faddish! For being a digital modelling synth it comes as close to recreating a fat analog sound as any setup that costs thousands of dollars more. Plus it is small enough to slip in a backpack for shows... if you've ever had to lug around an actual vintage analog synth or organ, it's well worth the tradeoff! You lose nothing in quality and gain so much in portability and accessibility. Buy it!
Delivery was on time and I like that I can track packages. Ty
