äußerst intressantes schätzchen mit schönem retro design

Korg kündigt microKORG XL an (04/12/2008)
(IMG:http://www.beat.de/tempbilder/8c67365be4796c4a95f8ac9dad877a97.gif) Nach dem anhaltenden und großen Erfolg des microKORG war es nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis die micro-Familie Zuwachs bekommt. Nun ist es soweit: Der microKORG XL wird als großer Bruder die Line der KORG-Kompakt-Synthesizer sinnvoll ergänzen.

Das Gerät soll achtstimmig spielbar sein und auf der MMT-Synthese des Radias beruhen. Dazu kommen die Effekt-Engine aus dem KAOSS PAD 3, allerdings ohne Pad, ein Vocoder mit passendem Schwanenhalsmikrofon sowie eine neu entwickelte Kompakt-Tastatur.

Die Programmiermatrix des kleinen Modells wurde durch Datenrad, Navigationstatser und zweizeiliges alphanumerisches Display ersetzt. Das Ganze steckt in einem Retro-Design-Gehäuse im Stil der späten Sixties. Aktuell gibt es noch keine Informationen zu Preis und Lieferzeit. (AW) Webverweise: www.korg.de

The new top of the range microKORG --- XL power in a micro body
The microKORG has continued to be a best-seller since its arrival five years ago, and remains enormously popular today. This latest model boasts Korg's powerful RADIAS/R3 derived MMT Multi Modeling Technology, as well as a powered-up vocoder. The updated ROM includes PCM data for recreating in-demand vintage keyboards such as piano, electric piano, and clav. Externally, the microKORG XL boasts a completely new vintage design with a textured black body and industrial silver panel. The interface has also been enhanced, making it easier than ever to use. Sound selection is controlled by two large dials; three smaller knobs allow the main parameters to be easily selected. The newly-developed mini-keyboard is firm and responsive for even greater playability. And best of all, it's battery-powered so you can take it anywhere and still enjoy serious sound. For beginners, advanced musicians and sound designers, this is a synthesizer that will stimulate your musical creativity.

<h3 id="MMT">Korg's MMT Multi Modeling Technology</h3>
Korg's MMT engine provides a compendium of Korg's various modeling technologies, offering a robust range of sounds – including great analog re-creations. Korg's famed MMT is the same high-fidelity synthesis that powers our RADIAS, R3, and ElecTribe MX, optimized to provide the microKORG XL with phenomenal performance. The microKORG XL uses two MMT oscillators to generate powerful sounds. Oscillator 1 (OSC1) provides not only the standard waveforms you expect from an analog synthesizer, but a total of seven types of oscillator algorithms, including formant waveforms such as human voice, noise, and PCM/DWGS waveforms such as vintage keyboards and strings. Cross-modulation, unison, and VPM (Variable Phase Modulation) let you create sounds that would be impossible for a conventional PCM synthesizer. Oscillator 2 (OSC2) can be used for modulation (sync or ring) in conjunction with the first oscillator, making it easy to create complex and powerful sounds.

Dynamic synthesis power
Two multi-mode filters, a drive/waveshaping circuit for distinctively distorted sounds, and EG and LFO for creating time-varying tonal change, provide plenty of parameters for serious synthesis. Virtual Patching simulates the patching capability of Korg's classic MS series, and the arpeggiator can run six types of patterns, all adding up to a high degree of creative freedom. There's also an external audio input jack, so you can process external audio material from a sampler or other source device. In the full-edit mode you have unlimited access to all of the microKORG XL's synthesis parameters.



Versatile Vocoding covers every angle – including those robot voices
Using a microphone, the microKORG XL's amazing vocoder allows you to add vocal characteristics to any sound, creating everything from "talk-box" filtering, pseudo choirs, talking instruments and vintage Sci-Fi robots. You can also use another instrument – such as a drum machine – to add rhythmic dexterity to your synth tracks. Our unique Formant Hold allows you to freeze the vocal input for continuous vocoder effects. In addition to simulating the classic vocoder sounds of the past, the microKORG XL also allows you to shift the filter frequencies (Formant Shift function) and adjust the level and pan of each of the sixteen bands, greatly altering the tonal character. This allows you to easily create fascinating textures and sounds that go far beyond traditional vocoding. A gooseneck microphone is included, so you can immediately start using these superb vocoder functions.

<h3 id="Sounds">128 professional sounds, organized for immediate use</h3>
Finding the right sounds is easy. To choose a sound simply rotate the two large dials. The first selects the musical genre, while the second defines the instrument category. From the familiar "ROCK / KEYBOARD," the standard "R&B / LEAD," and the distinctive "HIPHOP / BASS," a wide range of presets are instantly available. For the diehard synthesists and sound designers, you can use the three performance edit knobs for fast, effective editing in performance. You're also free to select and assign your favorite parameters

Advanced dual effect engines
The two master effect processors were perfected on our KAOSS series. These up-to-the-minute effects go far beyond traditional delay and chorus, delivering a total of 17 powerful algorithms, including ring modulation and a grain shifter. In addition, delay effects can be synchronized to MIDI clock for expanded possibilities in a live performance and other "beat-sensitive" situations.



Compact expression and playability
Our new Natural Touch Mini Keyboard is firm and easy to play, inspiring confidence and greatly enhanced expressivity. The proportion of the black keys to white keys has been adjusted to make chording easier, and the improved touch allows rapid-fire phrases. The "waterfall" keys project a feeling of quality, and also make it easier to play glissandos, smears and slides.



FREE! Downloadable sound editing software
You can use a USB cable to connect the microKORG XL to your computer, and use the free sound editing software to organize your sounds and edit all of the parameters from your computer. In addition to the editing software, you can also download and use converted programs from microKORG and the MS2000/MS2000B free of charge.

Du hast das beste jetdaisuke Video dazu noch vergessen :-)

"ohhh, piano????"

DER GOTT!!!


Schade ein wenig, dass das Teil so ein Plastikbomber ist (ich mach immer gleich alles kaputt..)..

[saftpackerl]

ich finds irgendwie schad, dass sie das teil zu einer reinen presetschleuder verkommen haben lassen. zugegeben , mit einer guten engine. aber dass ma ihn nicht mehr am gerät selber voll editieren kann find ich schon einen rückschritt. ebenso dass er nur mehr 3 instant regler hat, da kann man ja nichtmal mehr eiine komplette envelope auf eiinen satz verbiegen...

das is mir zu sehr auf style gesetzt. die tasten sind besser und batterien hat er auch, und in pink und gelb gibts ihn auch... hat sicher seine klientel. spaß machen tut er sicher auch. aber die ernsthaftigkeit is einen schritt zurückgegangen.

für mich is der r3 der legitime microkorg 2. und wahrscheinlich wär er das auch für mehr andere leute, wenn er ein batteriefach hätte, und mehr retro aussehen würde...

[Dicebox]

Man könnte meinen, dass die mit Absicht Geräte herstellen, die auch optisch wirklich gut aussehen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
