The Korg microKORG S synthesizer is a classic that has been revitalized for modern musicians. It's a compact, yet robust, analog modeling synthesizer that is as much at home on stage as it is in a studio setting. With an elegant white motif and a built-in 2+1 speaker system, the microKORG S offers power beyond its size and a unique aesthetic appeal.

Perhaps the most striking feature of the microKORG S is its built-in speaker system. This system comprises stereo speakers that deliver clear imaging and a woofer that outputs a remarkable amount of low frequency. The new box structure of the chassis and the combination of box volume and bass reflex port create a rich sense of volume, exceeding the expectations of the speakers. The speakers allow for a full performance experience in environments where there is no PA, making it a versatile choice for musicians on the go.

The updated microKORG S also boasts increased memory and new programs. The memory capacity has been expanded from the original microKORG, offering 64 preset programs that meet the needs of the contemporary musician. These include punchy leads, great-sounding electric pianos, and solid basses. Additionally, there are 64 slots for user programs, allowing musicians to save their original sounds without overwriting the presets.
