Korg MicroKORG 2 Synthesizer/Vocoder

The Korg MicroKORG 2 is the successor to one of the most iconic synthesizers in modern music. It pairs an analog modeling sound engine with an expanded vocoder, a loop recorder, and a 2.8-inch color IPS display that brings visual feedback to sound design for the first time on a MicroKORG. With 256 programs organized by genre across Classic, Modern, and Future banks, the MicroKORG 2 covers a wide range of synth sounds while remaining compact and battery-powered.

Sound Engine & Vocoder

The virtual analog synthesis engine supports up to 8 voices in single mode or 4 in dual-layer mode. A new vocal processor goes beyond the original's vocoder to include hard-tune pitch correction and a harmonizer that pitch-shifts and layers your voice. The included gooseneck condenser microphone connects directly to the front panel.

Loop Recorder & Arpeggiator

A built-in loop recorder with record, play/stop, and undo/redo buttons lets you layer and overdub parts for live performance or practice. The arpeggiator offers 10 patterns plus a step arpeggiator function for rhythmic sequencing.

Display & Interface

A 2.8-inch color IPS LCD provides animated parameter guides, an oscilloscope view, and visual patch editing. The iconic genre-selection dial and five edit knobs are carried over from the original MicroKORG, with a new category system for browsing by era (Classic, Modern, Future).

Effects

Three independent effect series: nine modulation/dynamics types, six delay types, and six reverb types, each with adjustable wet/dry. A two-band parametric EQ shapes the final output.
