MicroKorg XL Information

The MicroKorg XL uses Korg’s powerful RADIAS/R3 derived MMT Multi Modeling Technology, as well as a powered-up vocoder to bring it more up to date from its smaller brother, the MicroKorg.

The updated ROM includes PCM data for recreating in-demand vintage keyboards such as piano, electric piano, and clav. Further additions such as free download of MS2000/B sounds can be downloaded into the MicroKorg XL. Of course it is not short of serious speaker busting synth bass and lead sounds with superb rich textured pads all at the turn of a dial.

The interface has also been enhanced, making it easier than ever to use. Sound selection is controlled by two large dials; three smaller knobs allow the main parameters to be easily selected. The newly-developed mini-keyboard is firm and responsive for even greater playability. And best of all, it’s battery-powered so you can take it anywhere and still enjoy serious sound. For beginners, advanced musicians and sound designers, the microkorg XL is a synthesizer that will stimulate your musical creativity.

Going a step further the Microkorg XL adds a much more powerful vocoder by comparison to its smaller brother the Microkorg. In addition to simulating the classic vocoder sounds of the past, the microkorg XL also allows you to shift the filter frequencies (Formant Shift function) and adjust the level and pan of each of the sixteen bands, greatly altering the tonal character. This allows you to easily create fascinating textures and sounds that go far beyond traditional vocoding. A gooseneck microphone is included, so you can immediately start using these superb vocoder functions.
