microKORG S boosts the fun of playing

The analog modeling synthesizer microKORG has become a global standard with its authentic sound that is unimaginable from its retro and cute design. This masterpiece, which boasts a unique presence, will not stop moving forward. The renewed microKORG S has a newly designed 2+1 speaker system. With a volume that far exceeds the sense of size, it further expands the fun of the simple instrument that is characteristic of the microKORG. The white body is equipped with new preset sounds that symbolize the next generation. A new microKORG has been born, with an elegant appearance but a ferocious interior.

■Equipped with a 2+1 speaker system that ensures a rich sense of volume

We have built a special speaker system inside the compact body of the microKORG. It has stereo speakers with clear sound images and a woofer that produces amazing bass. The housing has a new box structure, and the combination of a generous box capacity that makes maximum use of the space and a bass reflex port produces a rich volume, clear positioning, and mellow bass that exceeds the size of the speaker. In addition to the conventional battery operation, the built-in loud speaker allows for an easy and authentic performance experience even in environments without power or PA. In addition, since the main body also serves as a speaker box, the vibrations from the speaker can be felt from your fingertips, and the delicate and dynamic response like that of an acoustic instrument or electric piano further enhances the sense of realism when playing.

■Double the memory. New programs and user areas added

The memory capacity has been doubled compared to the conventional microKORG. 64 powerful preset programs have been added that capture the changes in the music scene, such as simple and powerful sounds that stand out on stage, clear leads with clear contours, soft electric pianos that blend in with the ensemble, and powerful basses with a core. At the same time, 64 user areas have been newly prepared, allowing you to store your own sounds without overwriting the presets. This further promotes the process of creating sounds that is best suited to this synth, which is to edit the sounds you choose to your liking.

■Luxurious white color

The distinctive form of the microKORG has been loved for over 10 years. The microKORG S has added speakers, but still retains the original look and smartness. On top of that, the front panel is based on white, and the side wood has been updated with a new maple material. From retro to modern, it has a luxurious design that is one step above the rest.

■Favorite Select function

The new Favorite Select function allows you to assign up to eight of your favorite programs. Since you can instantly call up the sounds you want to use, it is even easier to use during live performances.

■All the functions of the microKORG

It inherits all the functions of the microKORG, such as the easy operation of selecting programs by music genre and editing the selected sounds, the vocoder with a small microphone, and battery operation that allows you to play anywhere. As an easy-to-use first synthesizer, an extra synth on stage, or as a sound source for production, it will be useful in all kinds of situations as before.
