Korg KingKORG NEO

The Korg KingKORG NEO, a continuation of Korg's visionary tradition, combines the latest synthesizer technology and establishes itself as a milestone in the world of music production. This instrument proudly carries on the legacy of its predecessor by not only bridging but expanding the gap between physical and virtual sonic worlds. By integrating the proprietary virtually analog XMT Sound Engine, the synthesizer presents itself as a powerful symbiosis of past and future, ready to redefine the boundaries of what is possible in sound design.

With over 300 carefully selected presets, divided into eight categories, and a polyphony of 24 voices, Korg's synthesizer offers an unparalleled variety of sounds. These range from deep, warm analog tones to crystal-clear digital textures that support every creative vision. Furthermore, the instrument features an impressive array of effects and sound shaping tools, which, along with the recurring vocoder - powered by an enhanced version of the XMT Engine - open up the potential for experimental soundscapes and dynamic performances.

The three-oscillator architecture of the KingKORG NEO, complemented by over a hundred oscillator styles, allows musicians and producers to experiment with a wealth of timbres and textures. From classic analog grit to digital wave-crushing to complex modulation methods, this instrument enables deep and intuitive exploration of the sonic spectrum.

In addition, the manufacturer has placed great emphasis on a user-friendly interface that promotes direct intervention and shaping of sounds. Two OLED displays provide clear visual feedback, while the multifunctional joystick allows precise control over various parameters. This thoughtful design makes the KingKORG NEO an ideal partner for live performances and studio work, with every aspect of the instrument designed to unlock sources of inspiration and maximize expressive possibilities.

The Korg KingKORG NEO represents a new era of sound synthesis that expands both the depth and breadth of musical expression. With its extensive range of sounds, effects, and modulation capabilities, paired with an intuitive user interface, it opens up new horizons in sound design and performance for music creators of all genres.
