This is my first hardware synth, I've had it for a couple days now and I can't stop playing with it. Although I do plan on making songs with it as the lead once I get an audio interface, just tweaking the sounds and making beats is a blast. I found it extremely easy to use and figure out, since I've had experience with software synths and I've watched a lot of videos on the microKORG. So if you have some basic synthesizer/sound design knowledge you should have no trouble figuring this thing out just by playing around with it. The only thing I've had to refer to the manual for so far is how to turn off the write protection so I could save my own sounds, which was no trouble at all. The microKORG has 128 preset sounds (including vocoder), all of which can be tweaked in just about any way you can think of. They range from standard trance/techno sounds to huge bass sounds to ambient and experimental stuff, pretty much anything a (starting) electronic producer might want. With 128 presets and tons of settings to tweak, there's always new stuff to come up with. Before when I only used software synths I usually ran out of ideas for songs and beats, but I can mess around on this thing for a couple minutes and ideas just pop into my head. As for the hardware itself, the microKORG is built very nicely, it doesn't feel at all cheap. The microphone for the vocoder is alright, although it can be a bit wobbly and it will give feedback if you have it too loud. So if you plan on really using the vocoder a lot (I don't), you might wanna consider a better microphone. Overall, this is probably the best entry-level synthesizer out there, for every reason. Although I absolutely recommend it, I recommend it for people who have basic knowledge of synthesizers. If you have no idea how a synthesizer works and you never used a software synth, I would recommend learning about synthesizers and how they work before buying a hardware synth. Even $400 is a big investment. So I definitely recommend this, as long as you're confident that it's going to do what you think it's going to do. As long as you know what you're getting into, this is a great purchase. Review: Big surprise, in a small synth! - This synth is a little monster! I have the novation ultranova, and to me this sounds much juicier and warmer, and clearer. It is really straight forward to edit, the mini keys aren't bad, they aren't really hard to play on and are pretty well cushioned so it's not like most synth action keys that feel hollow and plastic.To me the sounds are the best and the adjustments are really well laid out. I don't think you'll find something as good at this price, It can do the work of a few different synths all in one, it has great basslines, leads, and all kinds of effects etc..... I am shocked at how much this thing has to offer, and the vocoder works well too. ## Features - Features 37 full-size keys, providing an expressive and dynamic playing experience - Equipped with Korg's XMT Sound Engine, it delivers authentic analog modeling synthesis for rich sound creation - Includes a built-in vocoder, allowing for unique vocal effects and robotic voice transformations - Offers 4-voice polyphony, enabling the creation of rich and complex layered sounds - Comes with a diverse selection of waveforms and presets, facilitating versatile sound design - Its portable design ensures easy transport and use in various environments, from home studios to live performances - MIDI connectivity allows for seamless integration with other music gear and equipment - Lightweight and compact, it is comfortable to use on stage or at home, making it a versatile choice for musicians - Built-in speaker provides immediate audio playback, making it convenient for quick practice sessions and jam sessions - Features an intuitive interface with dedicated knobs and buttons, making sound editing and tweaking straightforward and accessible ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000WS0SC | | Best Sellers Rank | #17,697 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #60 in Tabletop Synthesizers #14,762 in Music Recording Equipment | | Body Material | Bass Wood | | Brand Name | KORG | | Color | White | | Connector Type | USB Type B | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (462) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04959112024779 | | Included Components | not included | | Item Dimensions | 26 x 6 x 12 inches | | Item Type Name | Keyboard Amplifier | | Item Weight | 2.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Korg USA Inc. | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | microKorg | | Model Number | MICROKORG | | Part Number | MICROKORG | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KORG - **Color:** White - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 26 x 6 x 12 inches - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Model Name:** microKorg ## Images ![Korg microKORG Compact Analog Modeling Synthesizer w/Vocoder Mini Mic, 4 Voices and 6-step Arpeggiator - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71p3xs0pJBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where can i find a manuel for korg n7?** A: It should have come with one. Or go to Korg.com and ask for one for your model! **Q: Which one would you recommend this Korg or the Novation MiniNova Analog Modeling Sythesizer?** A: Another current sound the MiniNova can easily do is the screechy feedback resonance. I haven't tried to get this sound on the Korg, but it would be worth a try. **Q: Would this keyboard be suitable for playing in a genre like progressive rock?** A: I use it for electronic and alternative rock. It's an amazing piece of equipment but I can't give you a definitive answer because I don't play progressive rock. Sorry **Q: Greetings. As I have seen contrasting responses, can someone advise if (and how) you can get a standard piano sound from this instrument?** A: Yes there are a couple of piano voices, you can hear the presets here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GorTzjYyvLY ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Entry-Level Synthesizer *by G***5 on March 5, 2011* I've been wanting to get this thing for awhile now, and now that I have it, and as an aspiring electronic musician it's one of the best purchases I've ever made.

I have the novation ultranova, and to me this sounds much juicier and warmer, and clearer. It is really straight forward to edit, the mini keys aren't bad, they aren't really hard to play on and are pretty well cushioned so it's not like most synth action keys that feel hollow and plastic.To me the sounds are the best and the adjustments are really well laid out. I don't think you'll find something as good at this price, It can do the work of a few different synths all in one, it has great basslines, leads, and all kinds of effects etc..... I am shocked at how much this thing has to offer, and the vocoder works well too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All I need for my purposes *by O***T on April 19, 2020* I wanted the following in a keyboard/synth, and it does all of them... 1. vocoder - not perfect but perfect enough and with meaningful parameter controls. If you want a good robot voice *as an option in a piece of gear that does more than that* then I think this is a great option. If all you need is a robot voice, it can be found in other less expensive and more intuitive gadgets. 2. midi functional 3. small enough to carry around with ease but not so small that operation feels awkward 4. high-quality materials, comfortable weight, shock resistant (dropped it once already from approximately 4 feet onto a short-hair rug about a month ago with no problems), no super fragile parts other than the goose-neck mic (but I was never going to use that a lot anyways) 5. can load and trigger samples 6. create percussion lines on the fly during performance that are not cheesy (trying to avoid ending up with beats that sound like Da Da Da by Trio) but don't have to be epic And most importantly, assuming it does everything I want, I wanted to never have to buy another keyboard again, be it to replace, repair or upgrade, which I believe I have pulled off by being willing to spend more money on a This does everything I want it to and there are tons of hidden gems that I haven't unlocked yet. The last part is my only complaint: not super intuitive for a non-keyboardist. But a little bit of sleuthing (or, dare I say, reading the instruction booklet) is a very small price to pay to unlock all it's arcane secrets - I need the thing for basically 4 functions, which it has, but can also do so much more. ## Frequently Bought Together - Korg microKORG Compact Analog Modeling Synthesizer w/Vocoder Mini Mic, 4 Voices and 6-step Arpeggiator - ANALOG CASES Korg MicroKorg/MicroKorg 2 / MicroKorg XL+ Case - Custom-Fitted Compact PULSE Hard Case for Travel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/809885-korg-microkorg-compact-analog-modeling-synthesizer-w-vocoder-mini-mic](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/809885-korg-microkorg-compact-analog-modeling-synthesizer-w-vocoder-mini-mic) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
