Dark Atmo Arp Presets: Korg Microkorg 2. No Talk Sound Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
"⚒️ Granite Pulse is a bank of 64 arpeggio presets for Korg microKORG 2.
The main idea is to create noisy and dirty, yet atmospheric sounds based on natural phenomena and fossils. Bank was inspired by artists such as Bassvictim, A.G. Cook, SOPHIE, and Flume.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/micr...
‼️ Compatible with Microkorg 2 only. Not compatible with the original Microkorg 1.
👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).
💨The soundset spans a wide range of tones, from dirty, noisy, lo-fi, punchy and detuned to more atmospheric and smoothed.
The sounds include various combinations of oscillators in different modes, as well as different types of reverb, delay, distortion, filters, and modulations.
🎛 ModWheel adds expressiveness — brightening the sound for dynamic performance.
🎹The soundset is suitable for many genres: industrial, electronica, cinematic, darkwave, synthwave, IDM, bass music, progressive, techno, breaks, jungle, and others.
💡 To import presets, connect the MicroKorg 2 to your computer via USB and set the synthesizer to USB Mass Storage mode (press and hold the Function 1 button while powering on the unit—this is the left/first button below the display).
The storage contains a "programs" folder. Locate the user presets—their names start with the letter "U". Delete all 64 user presets: from U_A1 to U_H8 (or back them up to a folder on your computer).
Copy the files from the "programs" folder in the downloaded soundset and paste them into the "programs" folder in the Mass Storage.
Once completed, eject the USB drive and exit USB Mass Storage mode (Function 5 button).
The synthesizer will restart automatically.
I added pads to the demo. They are not included in the soundset."

Looking Outside: Synthesizer and Eurorack Performance
video upload by MKustomAudio
"Three tracks created by using standalone synthesizers and eurorack modules. Sequenced from the Squarp Hermod+, I thought about recording everything simultaneously, but I decided to record it in groups to allow for more hands on manipulation of the equipment.
For drums, samples were loaded into the 1010music 'Bitbox Micro' with the following modules also used for processing the summed samples: Make Noise 'QPAS', Xaoc 'Koszalin', Qu Bit 'Mojave' and 'Nautilus', Erica Synths 'Blackhole DSP 2', Qu Bit 'Data Bender' (triggered/modulated using the Make Noise '0-CTRL'), and Noise Engineering 'Librae Legio'.
For synthesizers, the following hardware was used: Sonicware 'Evoke', Korg 'Arp 2600m' and 'Minilogue XD', Sequential 'OB-6 Desktop', Novation 'Peak' and 'Circuit Mono Station'.
Forward Momentum 0:00
Revival 3:59

Korg PS-3200 (1978) - Professionally Restored Full System
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
"Korg PS-3200 - A fully configured system that's been fully cosmetically and operationally restored.
One of the finest fully configured surviving examples of Korg’s iconic PS-3200 — a true masterpiece of 1970s analogue engineering, fully restored for the modern collector.
Servicing Status
KSR has undertaken an extensive cosmetic and operational restoration of this PS-3200, a project spanning several years but largely completed by the end of 2024 — thanks to the exceptional work of Kent Spong of KSR. The Korg has been held in our secure facility throughout 2025, so post-sale, we will have the instrument and all accessories fully checked before shipping or delivering to the new owner. This process will add approximately 10 to 14 days to the post-sale completion time.
Remarks
We have decided to offer for sale our complete Korg PS-3200 System, which forms part of the RL Music Vintage Synthesizer Collection. Over the last 22 years, we’ve retained a small number of the finest vintage synthesizers to pass through our hands — instruments we found particularly inspiring or significant. This PS-3200 is one such example and has been the subject of a full and detailed cosmetic and operational restoration by our trusted vintage synth technician, Kent Spong of KSR.
It is generally accepted that Korg produced only around 200 units of the PS-3200, although the exact number is difficult to verify. Whether 100 or 500 were made, production was certainly very limited, making this an exceptionally rare, hand-built instrument by any measure.
Due to the rarity and individual nature of instruments like this, we’ve taken great care to provide a comprehensive and honest description of this PS-3200. We encourage any prospective buyer to ensure they have all the information needed to make an informed purchase decision — and of course, we are happy to answer any questions directly.
Provenance
We purchased this PS-3200 from a UK seller (an experienced user) in 2015 and collected it personally from their studio in the South of England. At the time, the instrument was fully working but had not been professionally serviced, so we decided to retain it within our PS-series collection — completing the full lineup — and plan its restoration later.
The overall condition was original and very good but showing signs of cosmetic age typical for a 35+-year-old synthesizer. We therefore elected to undertake a full operational and cosmetic restoration. While the market for highly restored vintage synths has cooled in recent years — as values for unrestored examples have climbed — our motivation for this restoration was personal rather than commercial, as the PS-3200 has always been part of our private collection.
System Configuration
PS-3200 Main Frame
PS-3010 Keyboard Controller
PS-3001 Interconnect Cable
PS-3030 Remote
PS-3001 Interconnect Cable (second)
PS-3040 Dual Pedal
Kenton MIDI Retrofit Kit fitted
This particular PS-3200 includes the extremely rare PS-3030 Remote, a unique device allowing live performers access to the patch memories — a groundbreaking feature for 1978.

Sinevibes Luminance v2 & Hollow v2
video uploads by Sinevibes
Playlist:
1. Sinevibes Luminance v2 – on KORG minilogue xd
2. Sinevibes Luminance v2 – on KORG minilogue xd
via Sinevibes
"Luminance is a shimmer reverb plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd, NTS-1, NTS-1 mkII, NTS-3 and microKORG2. It’s a novel take on this highly coveted effect: an ethereal reverb whose tail gradually pitch-shifts itself upwards or downwards. The plugin is based on a feedback delay network with a built-in a granular pitch shifter and chorus-style modulation. Thanks to the very unique and meticulously executed tuning of its individual components, Luminance gently follows the original musical content and creates a rich background sound layer – reminiscent of a gorgeous, dreamy symphony of strings or pipe organs."
Sinevibes Hollow v2
video uploads by Sinevibes
Playlist:
1. Sinevibes Hollow v2 – on KORG NTS 3
2. Sinevibes Hollow v2 – on KORG minilogue xd
via Sinevibes
"Hollow is a vast space reverb plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd, NTS-1, NTS-1 mkII, NTS-3 and microKORG2. At its core is a feedback delay network – with as many as 64 connections – that produces a truly lush, almost three-dimensional reverb sound. With all settings maxed out, this engine is capable of tail times that exceed several minutes, while still having a smooth and naturally decay. The algorithm also features our trademark unison-style modulation via three phase-shifted sine oscillators, adding highly melodic depth and richness."

"Pretty good condition considering how old it is - the endcheeks have the usual minor damage on the corners but the panel, knobs, keys etc are very good. It needs a litle work* to be 100%: it has probably about 4 duff keys (will need re-coating with the special compound you can get) otherwise works over CV, Internally from what I remember, it has a slight crack on the pcb which had been patched up and resoldered by the previous owner. Few noisy pots etc."

Minimal electronic with glitched piano sound : Between the waves 2025-10-26 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created with norns shield and modular synthesizer — an ambient electronica work where glitch-processed piano tones emerge within waves of sustained electronic sound.
On the norns shield, the barcode script is used to record and play back synth pad performances from the @SequentialLLC Prophet-10. The connected @KorgOfficial NTS-3 adds reverb and occasional tremolo effects.
In the modular synthesizer, a piano performance is recorded into Morphagene, which is then modulated with CV signals from Quad Function to create glitch variations. The modular output is split into two paths: the original signal from Morphagene, and another processed through a Clouds clone. The original path is further enhanced with @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MKII, applying micro-loop effects for additional glitch textures."

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by moogfoundation
via this Reverb listing
"A rare and powerful dual monophonic synth from the early '70s.
Everything works great; very good condition for its age!
The Korg Maxikorg (also known as the DV800) is one of Korg’s earliest analog monsters, featuring two fully independent synth voices that can be layered, split, or run in duophonic mode. With rich oscillators, aggressive filtering, and a truly wild modulation section, this thing is a playground for experimental sound design, dirty basslines, and vintage leads.
Includes soft case in great shape, and is a perfect fit for this unit.
Highlights:
Two completely separate synth engines, each with its own VCO, VCF, VCA, and envelope
Kenton CV upgrade
Beautiful custom built dark walnut cabinet
Switchable mono, dual, or duet modes
Powerful resonant filters and per-voice modulation
Preset tone selectors with full manual override
Early Korg analog tone: warm, raw, and full of character
37-note keyboard
Famously used by Vangelis and The Who, the Maxikorg stands out for its unusual architecture and expressive possibilities. It’s a cult classic for collectors and sound designers alike.
30% of the sale supports the Bob Moog Foundation, preserving the legacy of analog innovation and inspiring future generations."

Erik Norlander's Korg Mono/Poly Analog Synthesizer, serviced, with case SN 378257
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by moogfoundation
via this Reverb listing
"Very good condition, serviced by Rosen Sound, and includes a light-duty Tuff Case for easy transport!
Cosmetic notes: small chip in wood veneer edge under keybed, and the mod wheel shows a bit of wear. Both of these issues are shown in the images.
Released in 1981, the Korg Mono/Poly is known for its four VCOs, flexible modulation options, and unique mono/polyphonic switching, making it a versatile beast for both fat unison leads and unique, syncopated arpeggios. Its cross-modulation, oscillator sync, and deep routing options open the door to wild textures and sound design experimentation.
Specs & Highlights:
4 analog VCOs with independent tuning
Mono, Poly, and Unison modes
Crossmod, oscillator sync, and flexible LFO routing
Built-in arpeggiator and chord memory
Classic Korg 24dB/octave low-pass filter
Full MIDI retrofit kits available (not included, but easily added)
Used by artists like MGMT, Chromeo, and Jimmy Edgar, the Mono/Poly is a staple of vintage synth setups and prized for its unique voice architecture and beefy tone.
This unit was serviced by Rosen Sound, a trusted name in analog synth repair, so it’s running great and ready for action. Includes a Tuff Case (light-duty) to keep it safe during travel or storage.
30% of proceeds will benefit the Bob Moog Foundation, helping inspire future synth pioneers and preserve electronic music history."
