Used in countless historic performances and recordings, its influence has lasted for more than 20 years. Loved by musicians, sound engineers, and producers, <strong>microKORG</strong> now evolves to a higher level with the new <strong>microKORG 2 WH. </strong>This new model <strong></strong>retains all the most characteristic aspects of the original, such as its compact size, easy transportability, mini keyboard, Program selection Dial, and Vocoder with dedicated microphone. Instead, it offers many decidedly innovative aspects such as a new high-performance sound engine, an updated Sound Library with modern and impactful sounds, a user interface based on a bright <strong>2.8'' color IPS LCD</strong> display that makes navigation even easier and more intuitive, combined with a new and powerful <strong>Vocal Processor</strong> with 4-voice <strong>Harmonizer</strong>, <strong>Hard-Tuning</strong>, <strong>Vocoder </strong>and finally a <strong>Loop Recorder</strong> that makes the instrument perfect for today's diverse world of music production.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Analog Physical Modeling Sound Engine</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>microKORG 2 WH </strong>features a completely new analog physical modeling sound engine, which delivers remarkable performance in terms of sound quality and dynamics. Without the typical restrictions of hardware synths, this instrument allows, despite its ease of use, an advanced level of sound design, thanks, for example, to the <strong>Virtual Patches</strong> that provide pre-set modulation paths, effective yet simple to use; all under the control of the new Display and its graphic interface which always clearly and precisely visualizes every operation performed on the panel. The sounds in the internal library of <strong>microKORG 2 </strong>WH have been completely reprogrammed to offer a wide range of timbres: from the more traditional "fat" and penetrating analog synth sounds, to more modern, futuristic, and cinematic ones, to satisfy all the needs of modern musicians and producers.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="mcroKORG 2 Standard has been equipped with a new analog physical modeling sound engine with great tonal impact, with 8 voices of polyphony," src="/images/uploads//C1280200206_07.jpg" title="mcroKORG 2 Standard has been equipped with a new analog physical modeling sound engine with great tonal impact, with 8 voices of polyphony,"></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>New Display and Graphical Interface</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The control panel now features a <strong>2.8'' color display</strong> with high brightness, while <strong>5 editing knobs</strong> are assigned to corresponding <strong>animated icons </strong>on the display itself, giving the sensation of physically shaping each sound. The display can also instantly transform into a very useful <strong>oscilloscope </strong>that graphically displays the result of every operation performed.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>microKORG 2 </strong>WH expands the possibilities of the practical and intuitive sound selection system introduced with <strong>microKORG</strong>. A dedicated <strong>Dial </strong>selects the musical genre: Pop/Rock, Funk/Soul, HipHop/R&amp;B, etc., or the general style: Classic, Modern, Future or User, while <strong>8 dedicated buttons </strong>recall the <strong>Programs </strong>within them.</p><h3><strong>The new Vocal Processor of microKORG 2 WH</strong></h3><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img alt="microKORG 2 Standard has a very powerful new Vocal Processor. In fact, in addition to the Vocoder, it can generate Hard Tune correction effects useful in Trap music, or a 4-part vocal harmonizer," src="/images/uploads//C1280200204_14.jpg" title="microKORG 2 Standard has a very powerful new Vocal Processor. In fact, in addition to the Vocoder, it can generate Hard Tune correction effects useful in Trap music, or a 4-part vocal harmonizer,"></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">One of the most interesting aspects of the original <strong>microKORG</strong> was its easy-to-use internal <strong>Vocoder</strong>, supplied with a dedicated microphone and capable of producing the most characteristic sounds of this module. <strong>microKORG 2 </strong>WH now has a much more powerful <strong>new Vocal Processor</strong>. In fact, in addition to the <strong>Vocoder</strong>, this vocal processor can generate <strong>Hard Tune</strong> correction effects essential for <strong>Trap</strong> music, for example, or operate as a 4-part <strong>vocal harmonizer</strong>, with the further possibility of processing the result with <strong>reverb </strong>and <strong>delay </strong>effects. Also on <strong>microKORG 2 </strong>WH, the <em>goose neck</em> microphone is included to immediately project you into memorable vocal performances!!</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Loop Recorder and Arpeggiator of microKORG 2 WH</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>microKORG 2 </strong>WH is equipped with a <strong>Loop Recorder,</strong> a device that allows you to create backing tracks by cyclically overdubbing musical parts. Thanks to this function, <strong>microKORG 2 WH</strong> is also ideal for Live Performances. The <strong>Loop Recorder is</strong> simple to use and is controlled by dedicated keys on the panel: <strong>Record, Play/Stop, and Undo/Redo</strong>. Recording and playback settings can be easily modified in the dedicated, easily accessible menus. The <strong>Loop Recorder</strong> makes <strong>microKORG 2 </strong>WH the ideal partner for expressing musical creativity, allowing you to produce music practically anywhere. Of course, microKORG would not be complete without its easy-to-use and very effective integrated <strong>arpeggiator</strong>. The <strong>Loop Recorder </strong>and <strong>arpeggiator</strong> can be used <strong>simultaneously </strong>to create dense and musically engaging rhythmic-melodic layers.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Effects of microKORG 2 WH</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">KORG has specifically developed three series of high-quality effects for <strong>microKORG 2 </strong>WH, including nine new types of <strong>modulation </strong>(with dynamic effects), six types of <strong>Delay </strong>and <strong>reverb</strong>. The three series of effects can be independently activated/deactivated, and the wet/dry ratio of each effect can be adjusted separately. The sound is sent to the effects for processing and then to a <strong>two-band parametric EQ</strong> with bass and treble adjustment, to define the overall character of the sound itself. In this way, with <strong>microKORG 2 </strong>WH it is possible to perform complete performances without needing a mixer or an external effects unit.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img align="" height="" src="/filer/sharing/1772117719/16827/" title="microKORG 2 WH now has a much more powerful new Vocal Processor.

The basic chassis design, control panel layout, knob shape, and other typical features of the vintage microKORG have been maintained, but the overall aesthetic has been updated to achieve a more modern visual result. The new bright 2.8'' color display is positioned in the center, while the entire control panel is slightly recessed to improve programming ergonomics. The cabinet is painted with a refined metallic white finish, while the side panels are covered with a black stone-grain finish. The robust materials and quality finishes ensure the reliability and durability of this instrument.</p><h3><strong>Easy-to-play mini keyboard</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">On <strong>microKORG 2 WH </strong>, the distance ratio between the white and black keys has been further improved to make the small keybed even more playable. Even with "mini" keys, it is possible to easily play fast musical phrases and chords on the <strong>microKORG 2 WH </strong>keyboard, even with techniques like glissando. The keyboard also has two dedicated buttons for octave shifting (Octave Shift Up/Down), a function that effectively extends its range by three octaves, thus allowing the performer greater expressive possibilities.</p><h3><strong>Mobile Performance</strong></h3><p><strong>microKORG 2 WH </strong>is lightweight and easy to transport, measuring 54.2 cm wide and weighing only 2.1 kg (without batteries and microphone). The instrument can be powered via the included AC adapter, or alternatively via six AA batteries, making it truly playable anywhere.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ke-nnmfVFY8?si=9XXOKx3gNEeLqUes" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><h2><u><strong>Technical Specifications of microKORG 2 WH</strong></u></h2><ul>    <li><strong>Keyboard</strong>: 37 mini keys, (3 octaves) velocity-sensitive (no aftertouch)</li>    <li><strong>Sound Generation:</strong> Analog modeling synthesis</li>    <li><strong>Timbral Multiplicity</strong>: Max. 2 timbres (in Dual mode)</li>    <li><strong>Polyphony</strong>: Single Mode 8 voices, Dual Mode 4 voices</li></ul><h3><strong>Vocal Processor</strong></h3><ul>    <li><strong>Polyphony</strong>: Vocoder 8 voices, Hard Tune 4 voices, Harmonizer 4 voices, Hard Tune &amp; Harmonizer 2 voices</li>    <li><strong>Effects</strong>: Modulations, Delay, Reverb, Equalizer</li>    <li><strong>Arpeggiator</strong>: 10 Arpeggio types, function: Step Arpeggiator</li>    <li><strong>Programs</strong>: 256 programs (4 Banks x 8 Categories x 8 Programs)</li></ul><h3><strong>Inputs-Outputs</strong></h3><ul>    <li><strong>OUTPUT</strong> - L/MONO, R connection: 6.3mm TS phone jack, unbalanced</li>    <li><strong>Headphones </strong>- HEADPHONES jack: 6.3mm stereo phone jack, unbalanced</li>    <li><strong>MIC IN</strong> - CONDENSER: +5V 3.5 mm TRS mini phone jack, unbalanced</li>    <li><strong>MIC IN</strong> - DYNAMIC: 6.3mm TS phone jack, unbalanced</li>    <li><strong>AUX IN</strong>: 3.5mm mini stereo phone jack, unbalanced</li>    <li><strong>DAMPER/SWITCH Pedal</strong>: 6.3 mm phone jack</li>    <li><strong>MIDI</strong>: IN, OUT (DIN)</li>    <li><strong>USB </strong>Type C</li>    <li><strong>Display</strong>: 2.8’’ IPS LCD</li></ul><ul>    <li><strong>Power Supply</strong>: 9V DC (with AC adapter), 6 AA batteries (alkaline or NiMH)</li>    <li>Battery Life: approximately 4 hours or more (using alkaline batteries)</li>    <li><strong>Dimensions</strong> (WxDxH): 542 x 238 x 65 mm / 21.34” x 9.37” x 2.56”</li>    <li><strong>Weight:</strong> 2.1 kg / 4.63 lbs.
