Korg MicroKorg Crystal Synthesizer/Vocoder - 20th Anniversary Limited Edition

A Shining Homage to Two Decades of MicroKORG Legacy

Regardless of time and trends, the instruments that musicians regard as “classics” are the ones that are adored and always being used. “Classic” embodies musical instruments that revolutionize their field. While imitations may exist, the unique character of the original stands above the rest, and the wonder is only increased over time.

Twenty years ago, the portable, battery-powered microKORG was unveiled, featuring a groundbreaking new micro-keybed, a powerful Vocoder, and incredible sounds perfect for contemporary genres straight out of the box, delivering countless iconic performances, and instantly transforming the way musicians performed. This compact sonic beast introduced many non-keyboard playing musicians to synthesis, ushering in a new method of making music that is taken for granted today. Made for both enthusiasts and professionals alike, the microKORG finds itself at the heart of studios around the world - from the smallest bedrooms to the biggest professional recording studios.

"Skeleton" Type Semi-Translucent Chassis - Previously unaltered, the microKORG Crystal hosts a fresh take on the construction of the microKORG, with a semi-translucent housing that allows you to see the internal electronics. The controllers, knobs, dials and wheels are all semi-transparent too! As an anniversary model, the microKORG Crystal is a joy to view from any angle, and as its name suggests, “crystalizes” the character and feelings of the KORG team responsible for its inception.

A Panel with a Beautiful Sheen - The microKORG Crystal boasts a stainless mirror-finish front panel that fits in perfectly with the semi-translucent knobs and dials, blurring the lines between you and your instrument and delivering an aesthetic edge never seen before in any other musical instrument.

Aluminum Side Panels for a Sturdy Feel - The original microKORG employed wooden side panels to represent a vintage feel, serving as an elaborate accent to the analog modeled synth engine. This new special microKORG uses slick aluminum side panels for a clean and sophisticated look.

Dedicated Transparent Carry Bag Included - The microKORG Crystal comes with a dedicated carry bag made from transparent vinyl, staying with the theme and displaying the transparent microKORG Crystal body, so you can impress with your microKORG on and off stage.
