NAMM 2024: Korg MicroKorg 2 - No Talking

video upload by sonicstate

"Jim Heywood from @EarmonkeyMusic spent some time with the recently announced microKorg 2 - which offers a new synthesis engine, more effects and a looper.

The pre-production model here did not have a full compliment of presets on board yet."

"Korg announced their Microkorg 2, a successor to their longest running production synth ever. I really like what I hear and see. Great user interface, with colourful, fun and clear parameters. I'm looking forward to dive deeper into this."

"What does Korg's microKORG 2 sound like? It sounds like this!

Well, at least it sounds like this at the moment, but as they clearly stated at their booth, the demo units were prototypes and the production version is not finished yet. Therefore, it only had 6 presets - all of which were named NAMM 'sonething'.

But still, here is a quick taste of the microKORG 2 sound engine as it stands today."

NAMM 2024 - Korg - Microkorg 2

video upload by sonicstate

"At NAMM 2024, Sonic State got a sneak peek at the new prototype MicroKorg 2 from Korg. This updated version of the popular MicroKorg synthesizer features a metal case, a big LCD screen, and a simplified interface with color-coded knobs and a bright screen for easy sound control. The synth engine has been completely redesigned, offering a wider range of sound design possibilities, including digital and sample-based waveforms and three oscillators rather than it's older brother's 2. The MicroKorg 2 also boasts an improved effects section with three blocks, and a built-in loop recorder that allows for audio looping of both internal and external sources.

While the MicroKorg 2 is still a prototype, it is expected to be available later in the year, possibly during the summer. The price point is tentatively set at around $600, making it slightly more expensive than the original MicroKorg. However, Korg will continue to offer the MicroKorg XL and MicroKorg S models alongside the new MicroKorg 2. With its updated features and expanded sound possibilities, the MicroKorg 2 seems to be a promising addition to Korg's synth lineup."

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about Moog Little Phatty. Did this modern take on the classic Moog formula and one of the last instruments Robert Arthur Moog worked on age well? Can the analog synth engine be tamed with the UI of a MicroKorg? Does it live up to the legacy of masterpieces like the Minimoog Model D or other synthesizers created by the legendary Bob Moog?

Thought this was an interesting shot with the mic framed above the flower.

"The new microKORG S features a built-in 2+1 speaker system with power that far exceeds its size. Its body sports an elegant white motif, and features new presets that represent the sounds of a new generation. Beneath the microKORG S’s sophisticated exterior hides a sound engine both brutal in strength and universal in application."
