Brand New In BoxDescriptionWith its unmistakably unique exterior and its inimitable sound, the microKorg set the standard for analogue modelling synthesizers. The year 2008 saw the introduction of the microKorg XL, which inherited the microKorg's fat and powerful sounds, while adding keyboard staples such as electric piano and the CX-3 organ. And now, in the next evolutionary step, the microKorg XL+ delivers a fresh update to the sounds and design of the microKorg XL, making it the ideal compact keyboard.Korg microKORG XL PLUS Synthesizer/Vocoder Main Features Even more vintage sounds, including the KORG SGproX piano, the M1 and the VOX organs New program genre selector that fits today's needs New yet nostalgic - black panel 'new vintage' design Featuring MMT - the distillation of Korg's analogue modelling technology Vocoder feature with included gooseneck microphone Korg's proprietary natural touch mini-keyboard, designed with an emphasis on playability Battery powered operation is supported for increased portabilityMore Vintage Sounds Than Ever!Lush analogue modelled synthesizer sounds that are characteristic of the microKORG have been freshly added to the microKORG XL+. In addition, for band use, the microKORG XL+ comes equipped with the piano sound from Korg's classic stage piano, the SGproX (famous for its ability to stand out in your band's mix), as well as its hard-edged grand-type electric piano. This compact package also includes sounds from the M1 and the VOX organ, vintage tape-type string and flute machines, as well as other gorgeous sounds from keyboard history. Each of these 128 programs are genuinely usable sounds, giving the microKORG XL+ plenty of variety to serve as your main keyboard or as a secondary keyboard in your rig.Program Genre SelectorThe microKORG XL featured a sound selector that lets you choose your sound using two large dials: 'music genre' and 'instrument category'. The new microKORG XL+ offers an additional selection of these 'music genres' to fit today's fast-moving music scene. Now you can select a program that matches your song more intuitively than ever. For even more convenience, you can also leave one of the dials fixed and only use the other dial to make program changes during a song (music genre fixed), or use the dial to select vocoder variations (instrument category fixed).New Yet Nostalgic - 'New Vintage' DesignThe microKORG XL+ projects a style that's reminiscent of vintage electric pianos, featuring a futuristic yet retro design with a stylish black panel. High-quality parts such as metal levers, dials that move with an audible MMT: the distillation of Korg's analogue modelling technologyThe microKORG XL+'s sound engine uses MMT (Multiple Modeling Technology), borrowing from Korg's well proven wealth of analogue modelling technology. The MMT sound engine has been featured on numerous products, and provides two oscillators that generate huge powerful sounds. Oscillator 1 (OSC1) gives you a total of seven types of oscillator algorithm to choose from, including formant waveforms such as human voice, and PCM/DWGS waveforms for vintage keyboard and strings. It also lets you use techniques that cannot be imitated on typical PCM synthesizers, such as cross modulation, unison, and VPM (Variable Phase Modulation). By taking advantage of modulation (sync or ring) with oscillator 2 (OSC2), it's easy to create complex and powerful sounds.Vocoder Function with Included Gooseneck MicrophoneThe microKORG XL+ can function as a powerful vocoder that lets you connect a mic and use its audio input to shape the tonal character of the oscillator's sound to create 'talking' effects. The vocoder consists of a 16-band filter bank that can simulate the vocoder sounds of the past and also shift the filter frequencies (Format Shift fun... read more
