Korg MicroKORG 2 Synthsizer

Instant visual feedback and new program selector

Moving away from the original vintage-style design of the first Microkorg, the MK2 features a new program selector, providing access to a vast range of tones, allowing you to explore different genres and create your own unique sound. Whether you’re after a retro vibe or a futuristic sound, the Microkorg 2 has got you covered with its unique bank selector that tunes into every era’s vibe. With eight preset programs for each genre category and the ability to save up to 64 custom sounds, the possibilities are endless.

The Microkorg 2 features a stunning 2.8-inch colour display that takes sound tweaking to a whole new level. It’s not just about looks; this display creates a visually immersive experience as you shape your sound. Watch parameters come to life with animated effects, providing instant visual feedback. For those who like to see music as well as hear it, a simple tap switches to an oscilloscope view, revealing the evolution and changes of your sound waves. Let your creativity flourish as you see, shape, and sculpt your sonic creations.

New advanced vocal processing – layer, vocode and manipulate your vocals

The Microkorg 2 boasts an all-new vocal processor that takes your vocal performances to new heights. We’ve gone beyond the classic vocoder effects to introduce advanced vocal processing technology at your fingertips. With hard-tune pitch correction, you can create smooth and polished vocal tracks. The harmonizer feature allows you to layer and pitch-shift your vocals, adding depth and complexity to your music. With an extensive range of effects, including immersive reverb and crisp delay, the Microkorg 2’s vocal processor empowers you to unleash your vocal creativity.

Rich analog modelling with refined controls

At the heart of the Microkorg 2 is a virtual analog synth engine, delivering the richness of traditional analogue sound without being limited by physical hardware. You have the freedom to twist, turn, and tweak sounds across all eras, thanks to the infinite soundboard. And with virtual patching, you can shape your sound and see your patches come to life on the screen, blending the best of analogue feel with digital clarity.

Taking sound manipulation to new heights, the Microkorg 2 offers an extensive range of effects. With three series of effects, including modulation, delay, and reverb, you can enhance your sonic palette and add depth and texture to your music. Each series can be independently toggled on or off, giving you the flexibility to craft the exact sound you desire. Plus, with precise wet/dry ratio adjustments, you have full control over the blend of effects in your sound. The Microkorg 2 also comes equipped with a two-band parametric EQ, allowing you to sculpt the final character of your sound with precision.

Fine-tune your sound with ease using the five dynamic knobs of the Microkorg 2. Each knob acts as a gateway to personalizing your sound across any musical genre. Whether you’re creating lush pads or searing leads, the expanded bank selection gives you instant access to every era of music. Say goodbye to generic presets and hello to customized soundscapes that reflect your unique style.
