The original functionality is retained giving you 2 oscillators with a wide range of controls and waveshapes to play with to achieve the sound you want. Oscillator 1 features 71 waveforms in total ranging from analog waves like Saw Pulse Sine and Noise plus more innovative choices such as Vox Wave and Cross Wave. Additionally there are 62 exclusive DWGS waveforms from Korg’s classic DW-8000 giving you the ability to reproduce a broad range of classic sounds. This enables you to create everything from electric pianos and guitars to bells percs and more. You can also apply Ring and Sync modulation from the second oscillator to create complex timbres and waveforms for more intricate sounds. Vintage Vocoder The microKORG S features an 8-band vocoder combining vintage sound and functionality with modern innovations. The vocoder lets you use your voice as an instrument controlling your pitch and sounds in real-time utilising everything from single notes to chord progressions. You can capture and freeze the formants of your voice and play it across the keyboard or shift the formant frequency to change the character of your voice. Changing the format frequency allows you change your voice in drastic ways emulating the sound of males females children or even alien-like voices. Best of all the microKORG S comes complete with its own microphone so you can use the vocoder straight away.

You can also tweak preset programs to create your own version encouraging sound design in the more novice user.Favourite Select Function The new ‘Favoruite Select’ functions allows you to assign up to eight of your favourite programs allowing you to instantly recall the sound you need.
