      Korg microKORG XL Synth with Multi-Modeling Technology (107234643)
Availability:  


8-voice MMT synth engine, 17 effects, built-in vocoder and mic, modulation, and more.

For years, the microKORG has been a top-selling synthesizer. Now the microKORGXL is ready to join KORG's popular lineup. Based on the same winning combination of a small footprint, 37 mini-keys, battery-powered portability, and huge KORG sound, the microKORG XL Modeling Synth is ready to expand your musical vocabulary. The fun factor is huge too. A gooseneck microphone is included for instant vocoding excitement, right out of the box.Neo-Vintage Synth PowerThe microKORG XL synthesizer carries a proud pedigree. The MMT (Multi Modeling Technology) sound engine is descended from the RADIAS/R3 synthesizers, while the dual effects processors come down from the famous KAOSS line. The black key/white key proportions have been adjusted for easier chording and playability; the key response has been improved for rapid-fire soloing. The square front keys give it that old-school feel too. Together with a sound-bending vocoder and six-pattern arpeggiation, KORG's microKORG XL packs a powerful sonic punch.The 8-voice MMT synth engine offers traditional analog waveforms plus a total of 7 algorithms, including formant waveforms, noise, and PCM/DWGS waves for those vintage keyboards and strings. Cross-modulation, unison stacking, and VPM (Variable Phase Modulation) let you create sounds that would be impossible for a conventional PCM synthesizer. Sync and ring modulation make it easy to create complex and powerful sounds. Two multi-mode filters, a drive/wave-shaping circuit for distinctively distorted sounds, and EG and LFO for creating time-varying tonal change, provide plenty of parameters for serious synthesis. Virtual Patching brings it all together.Seventeen up-to-the-minute effects deliver everything from a traditional chorus to grain shifting. In the delay, effects can be synchronized to MIDI clock for beat-sensitive situations. You can even process external sounds. The microKORG XL's amazing vocoder adds vocal characteristics to any sound, creating everything from talk-box filtering, pseudo choirs, talking instruments to vintage Sci-Fi robots. KORG's unique Formant Hold allows you to freeze the vocal input for continuous vocoder effects. Use the Formant Shift function to adjust the level and pan of each of the 16 bands, greatly altering the tonal character. The distinctive retro-styling allows for quick selection of any of the microKORG XL's 128 on-board, editable programs. For the diehard synthesists and sound designers, you can use the 3 performance edit knobs for fast, effective audio editing in performance. You're also free to select and assign your favorite parameters. Download the free editing software from the KORG website and manage sounds on your computer.

  • Solid Synth

    As reviewed by Rex on 11/16/2009

    pretty solid synth. a lot of nice presets and what not. the keys are a lot less flimsy and cheap feeling as the first microkorg. great for playing shows or just messing around. my power cord broke after a gig, and it was easy and cheap to buy a new one. very versatile for styles also. reccomend it. not for people who are really into electronic production and whatnot, but great for people in most other styles of music.

  • Great sound!

    As reviewed by Michael Pence on 12/21/2010

    For a synth small like this it can be PHAT!!! 2 oscs with x4 unison... Destroys xiosynths 3 osc with no unison. And has an awesome Vocoder engine... Makes great leads, pads, basses, and plucks

  • Do Your Research

    As reviewed by John S on 7/19/2009

    I'm in shock and awe to find so many people giving this 5 stars. Does anyone seem to notice that for one it has no input for pedals? . . . or the fact that there are no presets for software so you can edit your music easily? . . . or how about the fact that it's so damn expensive? Why not get a xio synth (cheaper), or better yet its big brother the x station (the same price as the microkorg xl), which is not only a hardware synthesizer like the microkorg, but also a controller which can be used with reason, logic, or any other editing software. It also allows you to plug in TWO pedals, while the xl is unable to give you ONE. For the money you would expect the microkorg to give you a lot for you, but it fails to even supply the most basic needs.
