<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Korg MicroKorg Crystal Synthesizer/Vocoder &ndash; 20th Anniversary Limited Edition</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regardless of time and trends, the instruments that musicians regard as &ldquo;classics&rdquo; are the ones that are adored and always being used. &ldquo;Classic&rdquo; embodies musical instruments that revolutionize their field. While imitations may exist, the unique character of the original stands above the rest, and the wonder is only increased over time.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">The legacy of the MicroKorg</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Twenty years ago, the portable, battery-powered microKORG was unveiled, featuring a groundbreaking new micro-keybed, a powerful Vocoder, and incredible sounds perfect for contemporary genres straight out of the box, delivering countless iconic performances, and instantly transforming the way musicians performed. This compact sonic beast introduced many non-keyboard playing musicians to synthesis, ushering in a new method of making music that is taken for granted today. Made for both enthusiasts and professionals alike, the microKORG finds itself at the heart of studios around the world - from the smallest bedrooms to the biggest professional recording studios.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">The MicroKorg Crystal Synthesizer &ndash; 20th Anniversary Limited Edition</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Skeleton" Type Semi-Translucent Chassis - Previously unaltered, the microKORG Crystal hosts a fresh take on the construction of the microKORG, with a semi-translucent housing that allows you to see the internal electronics. The controllers, knobs, dials and wheels are all semi-transparent too! As an anniversary model, the microKORG Crystal is a joy to view from any angle, and as its name suggests, &ldquo;crystalizes&rdquo; the character and feelings of the KORG team responsible for its inception.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Panel with a Beautiful Sheen - The microKORG Crystal boasts a stainless mirror-finish front panel that fits in perfectly with the semi-translucent knobs and dials, blurring the lines between you and your instrument and delivering an aesthetic edge never seen before in any other musical instrument.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aluminum Side Panels for a Sturdy Feel - The original microKORG employed wooden side panels to represent a vintage feel, serving as an elaborate accent to the analog modeled synth engine. This new special microKORG uses slick aluminum side panels for a clean and sophisticated look.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dedicated Transparent Carry Bag Included - The microKORG Crystal comes with a dedicated carry bag made from transparent vinyl, staying with the theme and displaying the transparent microKORG Crystal body, so you can impress with your microKORG on and off stage.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Advantages of buying a synthesizer with vocoder</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A synthesizer with a vocoder is a powerful tool for musicians and producers seeking to expand their creative possibilities. The vocoder allows you to modulate your voice or other sound inputs with the synthesizer&rsquo;s tonal characteristics, producing robotic, futuristic, or harmonized vocal effects that are widely used in electronic, pop, and experimental music.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This combination enhances live performances and studio productions by adding unique textures and layers to your sound. Additionally, synthesizers with vocoders often come with advanced sound design features, making them a versatile choice for anyone looking to experiment with innovative and dynamic soundscapes.</span></p> <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">MicroKorg Crystal Synthesizer Features:</span></h3> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Special edition of the microKorg in semi-transparent "Crystal" design with metallic housing accents</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Virtual-analogue sound generation with additional digital DWGS waveforms</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bitimbral (for creating layered sounds)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2 Oscillators plus noise generator</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2 Envelopes</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2 LFOs</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Virtual analogue multimode filter (24 dB low pass, 12 dB low / high / band pass)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">37 Velocity-sensitive mini-keys</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">8-Band vocoder</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Built-in effects (ensemble, phaser, flanger, three different delay types)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Virtual patchbay with 4 slots</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Arpeggiator (6 types)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Combined microphone/line input: 6.3 mm jack</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Microphone input: 3.5 mm mini jack</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Line input: 6.3 mm jack</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2 Line outputs: 6.3 mm jack</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stereo headphone output: 6.3 mm jack</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">MIDI in/out/thru</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dimensions (W x D x H): 524 x 232 x 70 mm</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Weight: 2.4 kg</span></li> </ul> <p>Incl. transparent vinyl carrying case with KORG logo, external power supply and gooseneck microphone</p>
