Korg microKORG Crystal Synthesizer/Vocoder

A sensational tribute to two decades of microKORG

Musical instruments that musicians consider classics are those that are beloved and in constant use, regardless of current trends. The word „classic“ also refers to musical instruments that have been revolutionary in their field. Of course, most classics also find imitators, but the unique character of the original always stands out and only becomes more pronounced with time.

Two decades ago, the portable, battery-powered microKORG saw the light of day, equipped with its completely reimagined mini-keyboard, powerful vocoder and ready-to-play sounds for modern genres. No wonder it has been used for countless hit productions and legendary live performances, and has enjoyed an ever-growing fan base in no time. This compact sound monster introduced the fascination of sound synthesis to a wide range of musicians who had never held a keyboard in their hands before, and was responsible for a way of making music that we now take for granted: a Bühnen setup with a double stand, where a small keyboard can be mounted on top of a larger one and used simultaneously. No wonder this little jack-of-all-trades quickly gained a following among amateur musicians and professionals alike, which is why it can still be found today in the smallest rehearsal rooms as well as in the largest professional recording studios in the world.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of its release, the microKORG Crystal is an absolutely unique and stunningly stylish reinterpretation of this popular synthesizer, making it a classic in its own right!

Special model for the 20th anniversary

The microKORG was originally introduced in 2002 and has been popular for over two decades. Countless tracks and artists have since taken advantage of its impressive capabilities, which is why it remains a popular choice for B&üh and studio for many musicians today.

The microKORG Crystal is the ultimate reincarnation of this legendary synth and has the makings of another classic.

Even the controls are semi-transparent, including the knobs, selector knobs and pitch bend and mod wheels. As an anniversary model, the microKORG Crystal is a real feast for the eyes from every angle, capturing all the energy and passion that went into its development.

Aluminum side panels – robust and noble at the same time
