Korg microKORG S Analog Modeling Synthesizer and Vocoder

The KORG microKORG S elevates the industry-standard microKORG synthesizer by introducing a powerful 2+1 speaker system, expanded memory, and a sleek, elegant design. Retaining the legendary sound engine and compact form factor that made the original a global icon, the S model provides a built-in monitoring solution that lets you play, perform, and hear your sounds anywhere—without the need for external gear. Whether you are a professional synthesist in need of a reliable stage partner or a beginner exploring the world of virtual analog sound design, the microKORG S is the definitive, all-in-one performance synthesizer.

Expanded Power and Sound

While the microKORG S maintains the original's acclaimed analog modeling synthesis, it doubles the internal program memory, offering 64 new user-created programs in addition to the classic library. This provides a massive sonic palette—from biting synth leads and deep, pulsing basses to ethereal pads and vintage-inspired textures—that is ready for any musical context.

The standout enhancement is the integrated 2+1 speaker system. Featuring two stereo speakers and a dedicated woofer, it delivers rich, clear sound across the full frequency spectrum. This turns the microKORG S into a self-contained instrument that is perfect for street performance, quick rehearsals, or intimate home practice sessions.

Iconic Vocoder and Intuitive Control

The microKORG S features the same legendary vocoder that defined the sound of countless records. By plugging in the included microphone, you can shape your voice into anything from robotic rhythms to complex synth-layered vocal textures. The control surface remains remarkably intuitive: select your category, adjust the primary parameters, and refine your sound with the five dedicated edit knobs. It is a workflow designed for maximum creativity with minimal frustration.
