Korg microKORG

KORG MICROKORG is a synthesizer and vocoder in a compact body that has stayed the benchmark for affordable analog-modeling sounds since its 2002 debut. Two oscillators plus a noise generator and eight waveform types give a wide sonic palette without a complicated menu to dig through.

The vocoder that still defines the category

An 8-channel vocoder with editable level and pan per channel builds the distinctive robotic vocal sound that's been on countless electronic productions for two decades — still one of the main reasons musicians keep coming back to this exact model.

An arpeggiator built for writing, not just performing

Six arpeggio types with a simple on/off switch turn plain chords into ready-made sequences, useful for sketching ideas quickly on stage or in a home studio with no external sequencer.
