Blue Meanie All Day: See the rarest ARP there is! Nicknamed the "Blue Marvin" after ARP's CFO, Marvin Cohen, due to its bright blue metal case and unique features - while the actual name was "Blue Marvin," the nickname "Blue Meanie" stuck! Only about 25 were made in 1971, making them highly sought after.

Magical sounds, authentically re-created by KORG.
The ultimate synthesizer suite for the ages.

The KORG Collection is a suite of software synthesizers that methodically and accurately recreates the authentic sound and behavior of legendary KORG synthesizers for the present day and beyond. The KORG Collection project began with analogue synths such as the MS-20, Polysix and Mono/Poly, and has steadily evolved to include digital synths such as the world’s most popular synth, the legendary microKORG, the workstation classics M1 and TRITON, and physical modeling synthesis from the renowned Prophecy. The KORG Collection even includes the ARP ODYSSEY and ARP 2600, both revived for the 21st century by KORG.

In 2025, KORG added three legendary instruments to the KORG Collection – each an icon of its era, celebrated for their distinctive presence and heard over decades in countless classic tracks. The TRINITY, PS-3300 and SGX-2.

As if NAMM weren't enough all on its own - there's Buchla & Friends on Sunday, January 24.

Buchla & Friends is January’s biggest two-day collection of hands-on synths on the West Coast! If you love creative sound, you need to be here.

They're gathering over 90 synth makers in one awesome Downtown Los Angeles location so you can learn, listen, and live the latest in electronic music sound production. This hands-on, headphones-only gathering gives you a chance to hear the best sounds science has ever created.

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."

Official Demo - Microkorg 2 Soundset by Jexus

video upload by Jexus (sounds-for-synths.com)

"Thoughts & info: https://sounds-for-synths.com/korg-mi...

I did not use any external FX in the demo, no layers, no loopers, etc. All the delays and reverbs are part of the Microkorg-2 engine. My presets are single-timbre so you don’t lose your 8-voice polyphony. The presets come as computer files in “mk2prog” format. Just load them into the Microkorg-2 by using its flash drive feature (boot your Microkorg-2 in “disk mode”, and when it appears as a new disk drive you can just open / explore it and copy + paste the files). You will have the freedom to import my presets into Bank CLASSIC or MODERN or FUTURE or USER on your Microkorg 2."

Bad Gear - Microkorg the 2nd

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Sequel to iconic movies tend to have a bad reputation - which is not always fair. Who doesn’t like stone cold classic like Jaws II or Space Jam - A New Legacy and Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem is a guilty pleasure of mine for a reason.

Today we are going to talk about Microkorg II . This direct-to-Bad Gear synthesizer and successor to the OG hipster keyboard comes with all the features that made the original so great like minikeys and a front panel real estate-hogging genre selector and combines them with the blessings of gamification . Masterpiece!

MicroKORG 2 - Let's Build: an Automatic Acid Bass Machine

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"Apparently I'm all about that bass as in this video I'm designing an Acid Bassline patch. We dive into how we can affect the behaviour of the appegiator to build slides and accents into the patch and then explore the powerful distortion effects.

Transparency notice:
I have had this synth since early this year as I worked on the factory patches for this synth, which was a paid job. I have not been asked to make any videos about the synth and am not being paid to do so, but obviously there is an existing relationship between myself and Korg as far as this synth goes, which I feel is important to disclose."
