Korg MicroKORG Synthesizer & Vocoder, Crystal Edition

Twenty years ago, the microKORG was brought into existence as a portable and battery-powered marvel. It introduced a revolutionary micro-keybed, a formidable Vocoder, and an array of readily available sounds perfectly suited for contemporary genres. This groundbreaking instrument swiftly transformed the way musicians performed, resulting in countless successful musical endeavours.

This compact powerhouse of sound opened the doors of synthesis to numerous non-keyboard players, establishing a new norm in music creation that we often overlook today. It became commonplace to witness a smaller keyboard gracefully resting upon a larger one on stage, catering to the needs of hobbyists and professionals alike. Its presence expanded worldwide, occupying a central position in studios ranging from modest bedrooms to grandiose professional recording facilities.

In commemoration of its 20th anniversary, the microKORG Crystal special edition presents a distinctive and breathtakingly stylish interpretation of this cherished synthesizer, which has undeniably earned its status as a timeless classic.

Key Features:

• “Skeleton” Type Semi-Translucent Design - The microKORG Crystal, which was previously unaltered, introduces a fresh approach to the design of the microKORG. Its chassis is now semi-translucent, allowing a glimpse of the internal electronics. Not only that, but even the controllers such as knobs, dials, and wheels are also semi-transparent. Serving as a celebratory edition, the microKORG Crystal is visually captivating from every perspective. True to its name, it beautifully encapsulates the passion and emotions of the KORG team involved in its creation.
• A Panel with a Beautiful Sheen - Incorporating a stainless mirror-finish front panel, the microKORG Crystal seamlessly merges with the semi-translucent knobs and dials, erasing the boundaries between musician and instrument. This unique aesthetic combination delivers a visual impact that surpasses anything previously witnessed in the realm of musical instruments.
• Aluminium Side Panels - Incorporating a stainless mirror-finish front panel, the microKORG Crystal seamlessly merges with the semi-translucent knobs and dials, erasing the boundaries between musician and instrument.
