Few synthesizers can boast a similar legendary status as the original microKORG, which was first introduced in 2002 and continues to enjoy great popularity worldwide. The combination of a powerful virtual-analog synthesis engine, an integrated vocoder, a compact form factor, and optional battery operation helped the small synthesizer achieve cult status in record time. With the new microKORG, KORG brings this successful concept into the present day, equipping the reinterpretation of the classic with contemporary features while maintaining its original core qualities. Despite the modernized design, the compact form factor, the easily playable mini keyboard with 37 velocity-sensitive keys, and the user-friendly operation have all been preserved.
