## Overview

It offers 4-voice polyphony, a 6-step arpeggiator, and versatile modulation options, all packed into a portable, lightweight design with MIDI USB connectivity and a built-in speaker. Ideal for musicians seeking rich, layered sounds and vocal effects in a stylish, easy-to-use package.

## Description

The MICROKORG boasts the same dual-oscillator DSP synthesis engine found in korg’s critically acclaimed MS2000 and offers a wider selection of waveforms than any other modeled synth. Oscillator 1 features a total of 71 waveforms. These include traditional analog waves like Saw, Pulse, sine and noise, Plus more unique choices like Vox wave and cross wave. Together they provide a cool selection that can be modulated to produce an extensive range of timbres. In addition, 64 exclusive dwgs waveforms from korg’s classic dw-8000 enable the MICROKORG to reproduce a broad collection of imitative sounds. Sounds like bells, electric pianos, guitars, basses and more that would be difficult reproduce on an analog synthesizer. You can also apply ring and sync modulation from oscillator 2 to create the kind of complex timbres that are the true sign of an advanced synthesizer. Four filter modes are available, offering -12 dB (2-pole) low pass, High pass and band pass configurations plus an extra steep -24 dB (4-pole) low pass setting. All include resonance. Two classic ADSR envelope generators and two midi-syncable LFOs provide the power to shape your sounds. Add a virtual patch Matrix that lets you create advanced modulation settings – routing the Mod wheel to control filter cutoff or pulse width, using an LFO to control panning or amp level, etc. – and you have performance that is unheard of from a synthesizer in this price range!.Input:AUDIO IN 1,2, Level switch LINE/MIC, [AUDIO IN 1, 2 (LINE) ], [AUDIO IN 2 (MIC)]

Review: Perfect Entry-Level Synthesizer - I've been wanting to get this thing for awhile now, and now that I have it, and as an aspiring electronic musician it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. This is my first hardware synth, I've had it for a couple days now and I can't stop playing with it. Although I do plan on making songs with it as the lead once I get an audio interface, just tweaking the sounds and making beats is a blast. I found it extremely easy to use and figure out, since I've had experience with software synths and I've watched a lot of videos on the microKORG. So if you have some basic synthesizer/sound design knowledge you should have no trouble figuring this thing out just by playing around with it. The only thing I've had to refer to the manual for so far is how to turn off the write protection so I could save my own sounds, which was no trouble at all. The microKORG has 128 preset sounds (including vocoder), all of which can be tweaked in just about any way you can think of. They range from standard trance/techno sounds to huge bass sounds to ambient and experimental stuff, pretty much anything a (starting) electronic producer might want. With 128 presets and tons of settings to tweak, there's always new stuff to come up with. Before when I only used software synths I usually ran out of ideas for songs and beats, but I can mess around on this thing for a couple minutes and ideas just pop into my head. As for the hardware itself, the microKORG is built very nicely, it doesn't feel at all cheap. The microphone for the vocoder is alright, although it can be a bit wobbly and it will give feedback if you have it too loud. So if you plan on really using the vocoder a lot (I don't), you might wanna consider a better microphone. Overall, this is probably the best entry-level synthesizer out there, for every reason. Although I absolutely recommend it, I recommend it for people who have basic knowledge of synthesizers. If you have no idea how a synthesizer works and you never used a software synth, I would recommend learning about synthesizers and how they work before buying a hardware synth. Even $400 is a big investment. So I definitely recommend this, as long as you're confident that it's going to do what you think it's going to do. As long as you know what you're getting into, this is a great purchase.
Review: The range of sounds is insane, perfect for 8/16 bits videogame sounds. it's a mean classic synth. - I'm not a pro at all, but this is so well made and the range of sounds is insane, super fun. I've been playing with almost everyday. I bought a midi - usb cable to save an load presets, I got presets from Cuckoo, and it's a game changer on crazy sounds! If you like, old school video-game like sounds, this can be customized to sounds like a NES or GENESIS very easily! The key size is kinda small, so I believe this would be incredibly fun for a kid as well. I'm buying an extra one soon, to give to my nephew, pretty sure he will love this!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where can i find a manuel for korg n7?**
A: It should have come with one. Or go to Korg.com and ask for one for your model!

**Q: Which one would you recommend this Korg or the Novation MiniNova Analog Modeling Sythesizer?**
A: Another current sound the MiniNova can easily do is the screechy feedback resonance. I haven't tried to get this sound on the Korg, but it would be worth a try.

**Q: Would this keyboard be suitable for playing in a genre like progressive rock?**
A: I use it for electronic and alternative rock.  It's an amazing piece of equipment but I can't give you a definitive answer because I don't play progressive rock.  Sorry

**Q: Greetings. As I have seen contrasting responses, can someone advise if (and how) you can get a standard piano sound from this instrument?**
A: Yes there are a couple of piano voices, you can hear the presets here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GorTzjYyvLY

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All I need for my purposes
*by O***T on April 19, 2020*

I wanted the following in a keyboard/synth, and it does all of them... 1. vocoder - not perfect but perfect enough and with meaningful parameter controls. If you want a good robot voice *as an option in a piece of gear that does more than that* then I think this is a great option. If all you need is a robot voice, it can be found in other less expensive and more intuitive gadgets. 2. midi functional 3. small enough to carry around with ease but not so small that operation feels awkward 4. high-quality materials, comfortable weight, shock resistant (dropped it once already from approximately 4 feet onto a short-hair rug about a month ago with no problems), no super fragile parts other than the goose-neck mic (but I was never going to use that a lot anyways) 5. can load and trigger samples 6. create percussion lines on the fly during performance that are not cheesy (trying to avoid ending up with beats that sound like Da Da Da by Trio) but don't have to be epic And most importantly, assuming it does everything I want, I wanted to never have to buy another keyboard again, be it to replace, repair or upgrade, which I believe I have pulled off by being willing to spend more money on a This does everything I want it to and there are tons of hidden gems that I haven't unlocked yet. The last part is my only complaint: not super intuitive for a non-keyboardist. But a little bit of sleuthing (or, dare I say, reading the instruction booklet) is a very small price to pay to unlock all it's arcane secrets - I need the thing for basically 4 functions, which it has, but can also do so much more.
