Follow-up to the new KORG KROME Music Workstation

"With its unmistakably unique exterior and its inimitable sound, the microKorg set the standard for analog modeling synthesizers. The year 2008 saw the introduction of the microKorg XL, which inherited the microKorg's fat and powerful sounds, while adding keyboard staples such as electric piano and the CX-3 organ. And now, in the next evolutionary step, the microKorg XL+ delivers a fresh update to the sounds and design of the microKorg XL, making it the ideal compact keyboard.

何ともユニークな外観と、代えの効かない本格サウンドでアナログ・モデリング・シンセサイザーのスタンダード・モデルとなったmicroKORG。その太く力強いサウンド­を引き継ぎつつ、エレピやCX-3のオルガンなど、キーボードとしての機能を充実させたmicroKORG XLが2008年に登場しました。microKORG XL+は、microKORG XLのサウンドやデザインをブラッシュ・アップ。ユーザーがこのコンパクトなキーボードに期待する理想を追求し、更なる進化を遂げました。

"micro 10th Anniversary Colour Variations
microKORG / microKORG XL+ / microKEY-25 / microKEY-37

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the microKORG!
The microKORG / microKORG XL+ / microKEY-25 / microKEY-37 are now available in two limited-edition special-colour premium editions for each model.

<-- Available November 2012 -->

Since its introduction in 2002, the Korg microKORG virtual analog synthesizer has achieved enormous popularity among professional and amateur musicians. Even today, it continues to play a major role worldwide, still preserving the same style in which it was introduced ten years ago, and is deservedly remembered as the original member of the "micro" series which followed it. In 2007, we celebrated the fifth anniversary of the microKORG's inception by releasing the microKORG BK, with its black/white reversed keyboard; this drew a great deal of attention thanks to its cool reversed keyboard, which is reminiscent of the reversed keys of the classic POLY-800.

Now in 2012, as we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the birth of the microKORG, Korg is happy to announce two limited-edition colour variation models for each unit in the micro series. The Full Black model sports a black finish on the white keys, and the Black & Red model features a black and red reversed keyboard that’s sure to inspire your performance. For the musician who wants their unique personality to shine, these custom colours will be emblematic of their style.

The lineup includes a total of four products: the microKORG, the new microKORG XL+ with its updated sounds and design, and the microKEY-25 and microKEY-37, which can create a stellar compact music production setup. The micro series is always ready to play an active role in any situation; on stage, in the studio, or at home and these new limited edition colour models will emanate more personality than ever before.

*Serial number 1 for each of the four models of the microKORG / microKORG XL+ will be the prizes for the winners of the "microMADNESS VIDEO Contest".
