You can download it for free from the Downloads section of this product page.Filter Ark included – The Heart of Creative Sound DesignExclusively included with microAUDIO 22, Filter Ark is KORG's new filtering plug-in for DAW production environments. It faithfully recreates the legendary analog filters of the MS-20, Polysix, miniKORG 700S, and ARP ODYSSEY, while introducing new modern models such as physical resonators and vocal (Vowel) filters. Up to four filters can be used simultaneously, configured in series, parallel, or feedback, and an advanced modulation system with Morphable LFO, sequencer, and macro controls can be utilized. In this way, the filter becomes a true creative tool and not just an effect. Scale Quantize and ready-made presets ensure consistently valid results, allowing for expressive and modern sounds, far beyond traditional filtering.microAUDIO 22 Software BundleIn addition to Filter Ark, microAUDIO includes a comprehensive software suite with tools and production tools such as:Ableton Live Lite, Native Instruments Komplete Select, and iZotope Ozone Elements.You'll have everything you need to compose, record, produce, mix, and finalize your music right from the start.KORG microAUDIO 22 Technical SpecificationsAudio Format• Sample rates: 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192 kHz• Resolution: 24-bitMicrophone Input• Dynamic range: 109.5 dB (A)• THD+N: <0.015% (min gain, -1 dBFS input)• Max level: -2 dBu• Gain range: 56 dB• Impedance: 1.5 kΩLine Input• Dynamic range: 109.5 dB (A)• THD+N: <0.004% (min gain, -1 dBFS input, 22 Hz–22 kHz)• Max level: 13 dBu / 18 dBu (SE/DIF, min gain)• Impedance: 1 MΩ / 2 MΩ (SE/DIF)Line Output• Dynamic range: 109.5 dB (A)• THD+N: <0.0015% (min gain)• Max level: 10 dBu / 16 dBu (min gain)• Impedance: 330 Ω / 660 Ω (SE/DIF)Headphone Output• Dynamic range: 107 dB (A)• THD+N: <0.0015%• Max level: 10 dBu• Impedance: 20 ΩInputs/Outputs and Ports• 2 combo XLR/6.3 mm TRS inputs (Mic/Line)• 2 TRS 6.3 mm outputs• USB Type-C port• 6.3 mm stereo headphone outputPower• USB Bus PoweredDimensions• 150 × 128 × 68 mmWeight• 407 gIncluded Accessories• USB cable• Quick start guideAdditional Features• Simultaneous I/O: 2x2• Number of preamps: 2• Phantom Power: yes• Analog inputs: 2 x combo (Mic/Line [Hi-Z])• Analog outputs: 2 x 6.3 mm TRS (DC coupled)• Headphones: 1 x 6.3 mm• Software included: KORG Software Bundle
