microKORG S
Shape your sound, bring it anywhere.
The microKORG S continues to build on the success of the original.
With a serious sound, ubiquitous design, and superior build quality,
the microKORG analog modeling synthesizer became an instant world
standard when it was released in 2002. Since then, the microKORG has
found its way into the hands of musicians far and wide, and now,
receives an update to ensure it will remain one of the world’s most
beloved synthesizers for years to come.
The new microKORG S features a built-in 2+1 speaker system with
power that far exceeds its size. Its body sports an elegant white motif,
and features new presets that represent the sounds of a new generation.
Beneath the microKORG S’s sophisticated exterior hides a sound engine
both brutal in strength and universal in application.

Built-in 2+1 speaker system ensures a rich and full sound at any volume Inside that compact body of the microKORG, we've included a carefully
constructed speaker system consisting of stereo speakers with clear
imaging, plus a woofer that emanates a startling amount of low
frequency. The chassis uses a new box structure, and the combination of
ample box volume and a bass reflex port takes full advantage of the
speakers, thereby delivering a rich sense of volume that exceeds the
size of the speakers, a clear sense of positioning, and a rich
low-frequency range. In addition to the battery-powered operation of the
existing model, the inclusion of the built-in speakers allows an easy
yet full-fledged performance experience even in an environment where
there is no power supply or PA.
Increased memory, new programs, and additional user programs
The memory capacity has been increased from the original microKORG.
Mainly centered on simple and present sounds that shine on stage, we've
added 64 powerful preset programs that meet the needs of the changing
music scene, including clearly defined and punchy leads, electric pianos
that sound great in an ensemble, and powerful and solid basses. In
addition, we've also newly provided 64 additional slots for user
programs, so you can save your own original sounds without overwriting
the presets. This encourages a sound design process that's ideal for
this instrument: select a sound that you like, and edit it. Elegant new design retains the spirit of the original The microKORG's distinctive form has been beloved worldwide for more
than ten years. The microKORG S adds speakers, yet carries on the looks
and compactness of the original. In addition, the front panel features
an elegant white reboot, updated with maple wood for the side panels. Favorite Select function There's a new Favorite Select function that
lets you assign up to eight of your favorite programs. Since this lets
you instantly recall the sound you need, it makes live performance even
more convenient. All of the functionality of the original microKORG, plus so much more This new instrument carries on all of the
original microKORG's functionality, including the ease of selecting a
program of a desired musical genre and then editing the selected sound, a
vocoder with an included miniature microphone, and battery operation
that allows you to perform anywhere. As a beginner’s first synthesizer
that's easy to use, as a supplementary live synth for the stage, or as a
sound module for production, the microKORG S will continue to play a
role in every music scene around for many years to come.
Since the speaker box is contained within the chassis of the
instrument, the vibrations from the speaker can be felt through your
fingertips. This tactile feedback allows you to experience the same
subtle and dynamic response as when playing an acoustic instrument or
electric piano.
