A wonderful tribute to two decades of microKORG Instruments that musicians label as "classics" are beloved and often still in use, regardless of time and trend. The word "classical" symbolizes musical instruments that are revolutionary in their field. There may be imitations of a classic, but the distinct character of the original radiates more brilliance and this is only strengthened by time.Two decades ago, the portable, battery-powered microKORG was released with a radical new micro keybed, a powerful vocoder and ready-made sounds ideal for today's genres, delivering countless hit productions and instantly revolutionizing the way music musicians played! This compact sound monster introduced synthesis to a wide range of non-keyboard-playing musicians and created a way of making music that we now take for granted: a small keyboard that rests modestly atop a larger keyboard on stage and was made for use by hobbyists and professionals. It thus became the face of studios all over the world; from the smallest bedroom to the largest professional recording facility.To celebrate the 20th anniversary of this release, the special edition microKORG Crystal offers a unique and stunningly stylish take on this beloved synth - already a classic in its own right. 4-Voice Polyphonic Synthesiser Special edition of the microKorg in semi-transparent "Crystal" design with metallic housing accents Virtual-analogue sound generation with additional digital DWGS waveforms Bitimbral (for creating layered sounds) 2 Oscillators plus noise generator 2 Envelopes 2 LFOs Virtual analogue multimode filter (24 dB low pass, 12 dB low / high / band pass) 37 Velocity-sensitive mini-keys 8-Band vocoder Built-in effects (ensemble, phaser, flanger, three different delay types) Virtual patchbay with 4 slots Arpeggiator (6 types) Combined microphone/line input: 6.3 mm jack Microphone input: 3.5 mm mini jack Line input: 6.3 mm jack 2 Line outputs: 6.3 mm jack Stereo headphone output: 6.3 mm jack MIDI in/out/thru Dimensions (W x D x H): 524 x 232 x 70 mm Weight: 2.4 kg Incl. transparent vinyl carrying case with KORG logo, external power supply and gooseneck microphone
