The original MicroKorg was released in 2002, since then it has become a studio favourite around the globe thanks to the superior sound, intuitive design, and high-quality build. Now the original MicroKorg has received an update which ensures it will be able to withstand the test of time. The MicroKorg S is great for studio and on-stage use thanks to the brilliant sound and versatile sound engine.

Fitted inside the compact body of the MicroKorg S is a carefully constructed 2+1 speaker system that is made up of two stereo speakers with excellent imaging capabilities as well as a woofer that produces thick low-frequencies. The chassis features a new box structure with sufficient box volume and a bass reflex port which lets the unit take full advantage of the speakers providing you with a vast volume that far exceeds the size of the speakers with a rich low-end. The vibrations of the speakers will be felt in your fingertips and gives you tactile feedback allowing you to experience the same subtle and dynamic response as playing an acoustic instrument or electric piano.

There are also 64 additional program slots for user programs allowing you to save your own sounds without having to overwrite the programmed presets and encourages sound design, just select a sound and edit it to your heart’s content. A brand new favourite select function gives you the ability to assign up to eight of your favourite sounds directly to an easily accessible bank so you can instantly recall them whenever you please and is an ideal function for live performances.
