Korg microKORG 2, synthesizer with vocoder, color display and 37 mini-keys

The Korg microKORG 2 is the successor to the original microKORG from 2002. The compact size, the 37-key velocity-sensitive mini keyboard, the program category selector with a rotary knob, and the vocoder with gooseneck microphone remain. New is the 2.8-inch color LCD display, which graphically displays parameter changes and also shows the waveform as an oscilloscope.

In addition to the vocoder, the new voice processor also offers a harmonizer and a hard-tuning function for pitch-correction effects. With the loop recorder, you can record loops and add layers, while the arpeggiator plays along with patterns. The polyphony has been doubled to 8 voices, which is especially useful in dual mode with two timbres at the same time. Three effect blocks offer modulation, reverb, and delay, and the microKORG 2 also runs on batteries.
