It is a method of attempting to re-create the sound of analog synthesizers with digital signal processing. Virtual Analog is also known as “Analog Modeling” which might be a more accurate description. What is meant by Virtual Analog? It sounds like marketing mumbo jumbo, but it actually means something. Screening those on the front would’ve been handy. Shift functions ( MIDI functions, preset initialization, etc.) are only detailed in the manual.Vocoder microphone isn’t great, but you can use another microphone or an external audio input instead.The wonderfully expressive live-mode knobs don’t align with their corresponding values in edit mode.The front panel grid makes it easy to find the setting you want to edit, but cryptic display values make it hard to interpret.Mini keys can be hard to play, but look at how many more notes your hand spans!.Compact, portable, can run on batteries.
Arpeggiator is quick to access and easy to use.Highly capable engine (see explanation of “virtual analog” below).Live performance knobs along the top give you access to tweak the filter cutoff, resonance, envelope attack and release, and tempo (for arpeggios.).Wide array of factory presets show off its ability.Here’s some of the good and bad… The Good Stuff Some say there are better alternatives out there. There seem to be a lot of opinions out there about this one. I have the original version here, so that’s my reference in the episode. There have been several versions of the microKORG: the XL version, the red and black version, the gold version. The Korg website still shows it as a current product, and it looks like it had its 10th anniversary a few years ago.
It may just be synth with the longest production record. It has 37mini keys, several control knobs, an on-board arpeggiator, a complete MIDI implementation, a PC/Mac patch editor. The microKORG is a virtual-analog synthesizer and vocoder.
