Jan 25 - 07:30 PM | Music Hardware > Korg |
It carries on the design philosophy of classic Korg analog synthesizers such as the MS-20 and the Mono/Poly, which gave rise to the Prophecy, the Z1, the MS2000, and the RADIAS.
This new instrument delivers the unique characteristics of a dedicated synthesizer, especially the fun of transforming the sound by tweaking an impressive array of knobs. While technologically impressive, KingKORG is approachable even to players who are new to synthesizers.

The LFOs, delay, and arpeggiator can all be synced, either to the internal clock or an external MIDI clock.
