Korg’s best-selling synthesizer is now available in software

A full-fledged synthesizer with a modeled analog sound

"microKORG for Mac/Win" fully recreates the sound, behavior, and look of the original "microKORG". It reproduces not only the analog modeling oscillator, filter, and amp sections, but also the effects section and arpeggiator. The vocoder function, which was one of the main features of the original "microKORG," has also been reproduced.

Oscillator section with a variety of waveforms

In the oscillator section, which is the basis of tone, two oscillators can be used per voice. Oscillator 1 has 8 built-in waveforms, including sawtooth wave, square wave, and audio input, and you can also select the DWGS waveform, which has 64 built-in waveforms. Each waveform can be processed with the two [CONTROL 1/2] knobs (DWGS is waveform selection only) for even more versatile sound creation. Oscillator 1 also has an oscilloscope that displays waveform changes in real time. Oscillator 2 contains only the basic waveforms of sawtooth, square, and triangle waves, and can also perform oscillator-to-oscillator modulation such as ring modulation, cross modulation, and hard sync.

Vocoder with a wide variety of functions

The vocoder function synthesizes the sound input to AUDIO IN and the sound of Oscillator 1 to create the effect of speaking.

The vocoder function of "microKORG for Mac/Win" consists of 8 bands (2 out of 16 bands in a set), and it not only produces the vocoder sounds of the past, but also allows you to adjust the filter frequency, modulate, shift the entire filter bank up and down, and adjust the level and panning of each band to create your own unique vocoder sound. The level and panning of each band can also be adjusted to create unique vocoder sounds. Also, by clicking the HOLD button, you can record the formant of the input audio and use it as the sound source. In addition, the level of each band of the input voice and the level and panning of each band of the vocoder itself are displayed graphically, providing an easy-to-understand operation system that can only be achieved with software.

GUI that pursues the ease of use with all the benefits that software provides

"microKORG for Mac/Win" retains the appearance of the original "microKORG" while adopting a graphical user interface designed for ease of use as software. While the original version used two rotary switches and five knobs for editing operations, the software version displays all parameters and allows the user to see the various overall tone settings. Each section also has additional convenient and easy-to-use functions unique to the software. For example, oscillator 1 has an oscilloscope that displays the waveform of the sound being played as well as the waveform of the selected waveform, the CONTROL knob displays the parameter name and its value in a tooltip, and the two envelopes have displays that allow you to visually check the shape and progress of the envelopes. The various settings of the arpeggiator, LFO waveforms, and virtual patches are also displayed, allowing you to see everything at a glance. In vocoder mode, there is a built-in display that shows the oscilloscope display of the audio input, as well as the level and panning of each band, and the band-specific level of the input audio.
