A new origin.
The microKORG, one of the most iconic and recognizable synths in the history of music, revolutionized the music world with its unique form factor and unmistakable sounds, making it an industry standard for musicians everywhere. Used in countless legendary performances and recordings, its legacy spans more than 20 years. Renowned and loved by musicians, sound engineers, producers and gadget buffs everywhere, the microKORG has now evolved to a more powerful, more flexible and richer level - the new microKORG 2.
While retaining some of the iconic aspects of the original , including the convenient portable size, easy to play mini keybed, the large dial for selecting program genres or the vocoder with dedicated mic, the microKORG 2 offers a completely new, powerful sound engine, many more useable programs, a visually astounding user interface, and so much more.
The microKORG 2 features a gorgeous 2.8-inch full-color IPS LCD display that not only makes editing incredibly easy and intuitive, but brings immediate information and instant gratification as users can visually shape and “see” their sounds. As well as a powerful vocal processor with harmonizer and hard-tuning functions, the microKORG 2 also features a loop recorder that makes it the perfect production and performance tool for today’s diverse music world and beyond.
Beloved by musicians worldwide, its intuitive interface and powerful, rich, diverse sound make the microKORG 2 the ideal synth for anyone ready to explore the magic of synthesis.
