Summary

The microKORG for Mac/Win is a software recreation of Korg's famous microKORG hardware synthesizer and vocoder. It delivers the analog-modeled sound, oscillator variety, vocoder functions, and effects of the original instrument in a convenient software format.

Features

• Authentic analog modeling of oscillators, filters, amplifier, effects, and arpeggiator as in the original microKORG.
• Oscillator section with two oscillators per voice: Oscillator 1 offers 8 waveforms plus a DWGS waveform bank, and Oscillator 2 provides sawtooth, square, and triangle waves with modulation capabilities.
• Four filter types including a sharp 24dB low-pass filter and amplifier section with distortion switch.
• Two ADSR envelope generators for filter and amplifier with visual envelope shape displays.
• Two LFOs with multiple waveforms and tempo sync options for vibrato, tremolo, wah effects, and more.
• Virtual patching allowing up to four modulation routings with eight modulation sources and destinations.
• Vocoder with 8 bands, adjustable filter frequencies, modulation, band levels and panning, and a formant hold function.
• Flexible arpeggiator with six patterns, octave ranges, resolution control, step muting, and the ability to select timbres per arpeggio in synth mode.
• Dual effects section including modulation effects (flanger/chorus, ensemble, phaser) and delays (stereo, cross, L/R) plus a 2-band EQ.
• Graphical user interface maintaining the look of the original microKORG but enhancing usability with displays like an oscilloscope and parameter tooltips.
• Expanded polyphony up to 64 voices and 2-timbre layered tones available.
• Access to 192 built-in programs for microKORG and microKORG S with program browser allowing filtering by model or music genre, favorites, and program mapping.
• Program import/export capabilities and selectable skins replicating past hardware color variants.
• Direct MIDI tone data transmission between MIDI-connected microKORG hardware and the software.
• Free demo version available for trial with full synthesis functions for 20-minute sessions.
• Included in the KORG Collection 4 full version bundle alongside 13 other KORG software instruments.
