"MELVILLE, NEW YORK, September 4th, 2014 --- Following in the footsteps of the popular handheld MiniKP2 Kaoss Pad, Korg proudly announces the more powerful MiniKP2S, the successor of the classic Kaoss Pad equipped with even more performance and features. Like its predecessor, the MiniKP2S is packed with an amazing assortment of effects, controllable via its X/Y touchpad, as well as an MP3 playback via its MicroSD slot. External or onboard audio can be altered with effects the user controls and manipulates in real-time. The new MiniKP2S comes supplied with onboard sampling, allowing the user to capture audio from external sources as well via the 1/8” stereo input or via the onboard microphone. Audio can also be modified on input and captured with the applied effects.

In addition, samples and audio that have been treated with the onboard effects can be instantly exported to Ableton Live for immediate integration into computer-based productions, making the MiniKP2S a perfect capture and remix tool. MiniKP2S runs on two AA batteries, allowing the user to enjoy up-to six hours of continuous sampling, effect processing, and audio playback in any location.

Update:
"Korg Monotribe Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer Station

— Analog Synth + Analog Rhythm + Step Sequencer = Analog Electribe - In a world seemingly ruled by digital, Korg created an analog sensation with the palm-sized monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer. Today, Korg once again takes up the analog banner with the amazing monotribe Analog Ribbon Station; a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology into its compact body.

Korg's monotribe shares the monotron's analog DNA, yet quickly delves deeper into the rich, organic, and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. In addition to analog synthesis, monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section, plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style sequencing. Complete with built-in speakers and battery power, monotribe is self-contained and highly portable, able to deliver your ideas with style and personality.

True Analog Synthesis
The monotribe's sound engine uses technology old and new, merging the powerful sound of analog synthesis with the dexterity and playability required in today's groove making environments. Analog technology is essential for fast and responsive control, and delivers the full sonic spectrum from warm and easy-going to full-throttle rampage.

Three-Part Analog Drums
The monotribe provides a three-part rhythm section powered by discrete analog circuitry; bass drum, snare, and hi-hat. These three sounds were the key elements in a generation of analog beat making, and are still in demand today. Use these powerful drum sounds to generate distinctive beats attainable only from the monotribe.

YouTube Published on Sep 3, 2012 by KORGINC

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 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".

Korg Announces New Electribe MUSIC PRODUCTION STATION

Published on Sep 3, 2014 KORGINC

"Korg Announces the Next Generation of the Electribe Music Production Station

MELVILLE, NEW YORK, September 4th, 2014 --- Empowering musicians to compose in a creative and influential way, the new Electribe has evolved to include such features as polyphonic synth playback, sixteen freely-assignable parts, and compatibility with Ableton Live. Featuring sixteen back- lit Trigger pads and an intuitive X/Y Touch pad, the new Electribe is easy enough for a beginner to understand, yet sophisticated enough to satisfy even the most experienced performers. Due to its sleek, compact design and battery power (optional AC adapter available), users can easily compose and play any style of electronic music, no matter where they are. In addition to making some of the world’s most popular synthesizers, Korg has a long history of captivating electronic dance musicians. From the revolutionary KAOSS line, to the Legacy virtual instruments, to the original Electribe Music Production Stations, Korg has given producers the tools they need to make music that inspires.

The new Electribe’s synthesis includes 409 waveforms, covering analog modeling and sample playback. The advanced analog modeling is distilled from the KingKORG synthesizer, and includes filters that model those of classic analog synthesizers. The synth engine is capable of unison, sync, ring modulation, cross modulation, and much more. The PCM portion provides numerous rhythmic samples, but also includes some multi-samples for keyboard input. Collaborations with Sample Magic, Loopmasters, and Prime Loops are also included in the Electribe.

The Electribe’s evolved step sequencer allows the player to create patterns while receiving visual feedback and instantly hearing the set changes. The pads can function as a chromatic keyboard for real-time input, or as a traditional step sequencer. The “Motion Sequence” function records knob and button operations, and plays them back to create smooth or stepped modulation and other effects. The X/Y Touch pad has several functions, such as a Kaossilator-style “Touch Scale,” which plays a scale when the player slides a finger across the pad. It can also control effects and modulation sources. Effects such as compression and overdrive are provided for each part, allowing each of the sixteen available parts to have their own sonic signature. Groove templates can also be specified for each part. Live performance is more intuitive than ever, due to the “Pattern Set” function which allows the player to instantly switch patterns by pressing the Trigger pads.

Based on a partnership with Ableton, the new Electribe features the ability to export Ableton Live clips, enabling a direct link between Electribe production and one of the world’s most popular DAWs. In addition to MIDI IN/OUT, Sync IN/OUT jacks are provided, allowing synchronized performances with the Volca series, Monotribe, or MS-20 Mini. This newest edition to the Korg family will certainly impress even the most profound musicians."

Specifications:
Maximum Polyphony 24 voices*1 (Pseudo-polyphonic*2)

Number of parts 16

Sampling Frequency 48.0 kHz

Number of Oscillator Types 409

Number of Filter types 16

Number of Modulation types 72

Memory Capacity 250 patterns

Insert effects 38 types

KORG Releases SDK for Volca Sample

via http://korginc.github.io

"Currently your volca sample can only receive external samples through an iOS device. This SDK allows you to create your own tools with the interface that you design for your platform. Not only will this library unleash the potential to load samples and sequences, it will empower users to combine this code with other features of your making.

Auto-slice a song to generate a sample set?
Turn photos of patterns into sequences?
algorithmic sample music generator?
generate random sequence from quantum effects?

The choice is yours. Your creativity and coding skills are the limits.

what is the KORG SYRO library?

It’s the main part of the SDK. It contains the algorithms that turn your sample or sequence data (syrodata) into audio data (syrostream) that the volca sample can decode when received through its SYNC IN port.

what is volca sample?

The volca sample is a sample sequencer that lets you edit and sequence up to 100 sample sounds in real time for powerful live performances.
See more on our product page.

features

encode sample data for transfer into volca sample
encode a 16 step sequence for transfer into volca sample
delete specific samples in the volca sample
delete all the samples in the volca sample
required audio specs

KORG SYRO encodes binary data into audio using QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation). Like the old dial-up modems! It is sensitive to alterations to the audio like EQ and things like automatic level control. So please make sure they’re turned off on your device.

Your audio output device will need:

native WAV playback
