The Korg MicroKorg XL and XL+ MIDI Editor will set you back a solid €5.90. Momo, as always, has done a great job on this. It’s great to see all the vocoder bands available for level and pan editing. Intuitive sound selection simply specify the music genre and instrument category. 128 powerful sounds are built-in and ready for immediate use. A gooseneck microphone is included, so you can begin vocoding right away. Sixteeen band vocoder for voice controlled effects. The X-Y pad is a great performance device, letting you map it to any parameters you want. Korgs renowned MMT Multi Modeling Technology, optimized for the microKORG XL. It can also run stand-alone so if you just want to do some sound design then that makes it really easy. It’s all MIDI control so any movements or automation can be recorded into your host DAW. I own a MicroKorg XL and I had no idea there was so much editing potential in this little thing. So along comes Momo, pulls out a handful of synthesizer guts and scatters them across a fabulous looking VST plug-in GUI.Īll the main and most useful parameters are there including some you can’t access from the keyboard. However, many of the parameters were somewhat buried within the small matrix editor. A battery powered, truly portable, modern classic. The XL took all the great synth sounds from MicroKorg and put in some useful keyboard sounds and calmed the interface down. Building on the microKORG’s winning formula of great synth sounds & vocoder functions coupled with an intuitive control matrix for musicians of all levels, the microKORG S adds an integrated 2.1 speaker system and a doubled memory capacity with updated contemporary presets and a blank user bank. There’s something about the overly complicated and busy interface that draws people in. It’s the original MicroKorg that always seems to get the love.
