XMT stands for eXpanded Modelling Technology and was created to offer an expansive array of sounds while ensuring simplicity in operation.<br /><br />Gone are the days of laborious oscillator adjustments for sound crafting. The KingKORG NEO streamlines this process with pre-set algorithms. These carefully designed combinations of different oscillator types and quantities empower you to quickly shape rich, stage-ready tones with ease.<br /><br />Embracing the demand for diverse tonal capabilities, the KingKORG NEO comes loaded with a wide range of oscillator algorithms. From the classic sawtooth and square waves to the more intricate noise patterns typical of analog synthesizers, and extending to PCM/DWGS, this synthesizer is equipped to cater to an extensive variety of musical needs and preferences.</p> <h3 class="header2">Crafting character with iconic modelled filters</h3> <p>In the heart of the KingKORG NEO lies its meticulously designed filter section, a cornerstone in defining the synthesizer's unique sonic character. We&rsquo;ve infused KingKORG NEO with a diverse range of filters, each adding a distinct flavor to your sound creations, an aspect where analog modeling truly shines.<br /><br />The KingKORG NEO's filter collection is a treasure trove for sound designers. It encompasses a wide array of essential analog modeling filter types, enabling you to sculpt sounds with precision and ease. But we didn't stop there. We've painstakingly modeled filters that echo the iconic analog monophonic synths of the '70s &ndash; the go-to for punchy leads and deep basses. We&rsquo;ve also captured the essence of polyphonic synths from the vibrant new wave era of the '80s, and the legendary filters from Korg&rsquo;s own MS-20 analog synth.<br /><br />One of the most captivating features of these filters is their ability to self-oscillate when you dial up the resonance &ndash; a hallmark of classic analog synthesis. This capability opens up a world of sonic possibilities, from creating ethereal textures to crafting powerful, resonant tones.</p> <h3 class="header2">Vocoder wizardry</h3> <p>KingKORG NEO synth comes equipped with a balanced XLR input on its front panel, and includes a rugged, high-quality microphone. This setup invites you to dive into the world of vocoding instantly.<br /><br />At the core of the KingKORG NEO's vocoder is a sophisticated 16-band filter, rivaling dedicated vocoder machines. This powerful feature allows you to craft classic vocoder tones, but that&rsquo;s just the beginning. By shifting the filter frequency with the formant shift function and finely adjusting the level and pan of each band, you open the doors to an array of unique and original sounds. Whether you&rsquo;re aiming for vintage charm or contemporary edge, this vocoder adapts effortlessly to any genre or style.<br /><br />But there's more &ndash; the KingKORG NEO redefines flexibility. Timbre B can ingeniously be used as a modulator, providing an alternative to the traditional microphone input. This allows the vocoder effect to be seamlessly blended with the synth sound, paving the way for limitless sonic exploration.<br /><br />Moreover, each of the three oscillators, A and B timbres, can be individually selected as a source for the microphone input. This unique feature enables you to synthesize a rich mix of voice and instrument, creating a fusion of timbres that&rsquo;s both innovative and captivating.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <dl> <dt>Keyboard: 37 keys (velocity and release-velocity sensitive)<br />Sound generating system: XMT (eXpanded Modeling Technology)<br />Maximum Polyphony: 24 voices<br />Timbres: Max 2 timbres (Layer / Split)<br /><strong>Oscillator</strong></dt> <dt>Structure: 3 oscillators (choose from analog, noise, DWGS, PCM, and MIC IN types)<br />Number of types: 138 types (32 analog and noise, 40 DWGS, 65 PCM, 1 MIC IN<br /><strong>Filter</strong><br />Structure: 1 filter (choose from LPF, HPF, BPF)<br />Number of types: 18 types (7 LPF, 5 HPF, 6 BPF)<br /><strong>Modulation</strong><br />Structure: EG 2 units, LFO 2 units<br />Routing: Virtual patches 6 set<br /><strong>Effect</strong><br />Sections: Program effects x 3 (PRE FX, MOD FX, REV/DELAY) + EQ (2Band)<br /><strong>Types</strong><br />PRE FX: 6 types (DISTORTION, DECIMATOR, RING MOD, GT.AMP, EP.AMP, TONE)<br />MOD FX: 6 types (FLANGER, CHORUS, U-VIBE, TREMOLO, PHASER, ROTARY)<br />REV/DELAY: 6 types (HALL, ROOM, PLATE, TAPE ECHO, MOD DELAY, BPM DELAY)<br /><strong>Vocoder: </strong>16-band vocoder, formant shift function, formant hold function<br /><strong>Arpeggiator: </strong>Up to 8 steps (number of steps can be changed), 6 types (UP/DOWN/ALT1/ALT2/RANDOM/ TRIGGER)<br /><strong>Programs</strong><br />Number of programs: 300 programs (200 preset / 100 user)<br />Number of categories: 8 categories<br /><strong>Displays</strong><br />Main: 16 x 2 character OLED display<br />OSCILLATOR, FILTER: 128 x 64 pixel OLED display<br /><strong>Audio</strong><br />Mic input<br />Connector: XLR type (balanced)<br />Maximum level: +5 dBu<br /><strong>L/MONO,R output</strong><br />Connectors: 6.3mm TS phone jacks (Unbalanced)<br />Load impedance: 10k&Omega; or higher<br />Maximum level: +5 dBu<br /><strong>Headphone output</strong><br />Connector: 6.3mm (&frac14;&rdquo;) stereo phone jack<br />Maximum level: 60mW + 60mW@33&Omega;<br />DAMPER (half-damper not supported)<br />SWITCH/PEDAL<br />MIDI IN/OUT<br />USB B connector<br />Power Supply<br />AC adapter jack (DC12V)<br />Power consumption: 9W<br />Dimensions ( W x D x H): 565 x 338 x 92 mm / 22.24&rdquo; x 13.31 &ldquo; x 3.62<br />Weight: 3.1kg / 6.83 lbs.<br />Included items: AC Adapter, Vocoder mic (+ windscreen)</dt> </dl> </section>
