Description

Since it was founded in 1963, Korg's goal has been to create new experiences in music and performance. That was what drove the creation of Japan's first disc-based rhythm machine, the Doncamatic, and then led to the development of Japan’s first synthesizer and the world's first needle-type tuner, followed by numerous unique instruments that have brought the enjoyment of musical performance to many people all around the world. The microKORG2, evolving from the microKORG legacy, introduces a looper, vocal processor, full-color display, new sounds, and USB to its renowned polyphonic analog modeling, offering musicians a compact, visually intuitive synthesizer/vocoder with expressive vocals, real-time performance features, and modern design. Meet the Liano With its great selection of piano sounds, integrated and powerful speakers, great feeling keybed, and its slim and compact design, Liano is the ideal way to bring endless musical fun to your life. Choose your favorite Liano, and show your true colors! Discover volca This series includes a variety of units such as synthesizers, drum machines, and bass synths that all play a specialized role in your performance or studio setup. Users can perform with multiple units using the tempo sync included on all volcas. The compact design of the Korg volca series is packed with limitless possibilities. Born from the dream of creating unheard sounds, this compact volca synth brings West Coast–style synthesis to a portable format. With eight modules, 50 patch points, and classic volca control, it’s an accessible path into modular exploration and unique analog tones. The volca modular is a semi-modular synthesizer consisting of independent analog synth modules, digital effects, and a sequencer. Each of the modules has been carefully selected for its stand-alone completeness. The modules are internally connected so that sound can be produced even before connecting the included pin cables, and the routing is shown by white lines on the panel. Module connections via a pin cable take priority over the internal connections, bypassing them. The Voca is is equipped with a full-fledged 16-step sequencer providing a wide range of functions, letting you enjoy automatic performance even when used stand-alone. Using the 16 buttons familiar from the Volca series you can perform step input or use the buttons as a keyboard for realtime recording. The pattern chaining function plays back multiple sequence patterns in succession, allowing you to connect up to 16 sequences with up to 32, 64, or even 256 steps to create large-scale development. Volca modular connects its eight modules with pin cables across 50 color‑coded patch points. Audio, control, gate, and trigger signals are symbol‑marked and universally compatible, enabling unconventional patches. Twenty cables and a reference sheet are included. The sequencer of the volca modular lets you specify randomization for notes, active steps, and micro tuning. Irregular phrases, rhythms, and scaling that would be unlikely to come to mind can be generated by applying randomness, letting the volca be a source of unknown ideas. Two new sequence modes have been added: bounce sequence mode which makes a round trip through the steps, and stochastic sequence mode which gradually proceeds while randomly moving forward and backward.

Quality is a bargain for
Style: Single
I was aware about the type of sounds this synth can generate but I was blown away when I tried it for the first time, easy to dive in with the functionality in general, FM synthesis is very interesting for all sounds from the 70s go on. I just love it.

Compact bedroom synth
Style: Single
I own the original FM, along with Drum, NuBass, and Keys. The FM2 is EXCELLENT. The best of the bunch. The inclusion of a decent onboard reverb, additional patches and the MIDI out are all greatly welcome. It would be great to change programs via MIDI CC, but that's not going to stop you from being creative with this kit. Am seriously looking at getting another one of these, even at the $200 price point. Is this a tiny OpSix? No. The form factor and price points drive us to Volcas and this is the quite an addition to the line. ... show more

Nice little polysynth for someone on a budget
Style: Single
I've only scratched the surface with this thing, but I'm already satisfied that it does what I was looking for it to do. As a digital synth it's somewhat limited. There are a number of library tones and algorithms to choose as a base, there are two bars to adjust the octave and velocity, you can adjust the attack/decay for the modulator and carrier, and there's an LFO. That sounds like a lot but the range does end up being somewhat limited. This unit has 6 note polyphony, meaning it will play 6 individual tones at a time. That's a nice step up from the previous model which only allowed for 3. The arpeggiator disappointed me a bit as it only seems to play three note patterns, though I may have missed something. There are a number of different arpeggio patterns and speeds and you can switch through them very quickly. Overall, I'm super happy with this purchase. It's not the most expansive unit, but the price is hard to beat and I love the retro sound of it. My only gripe is that these Volca units are not readily compatible with a lot of other things. For this unit I needed to buy a midi adapter to use it with my controller, as well as a polarity converter and adapter for my power supply. ... show more

Bought new, got a used one direct from KORG
Style: Single
KORG sent me a used unit with the batteries installed and the internal speaker inoperative. The presets were already screwed up due to the previous user who returned the unit. I reset it to factory settings and the internal speaker still didn't work. Bad experience all around.
