Korg's own MicroKorg VST Emulation Plugin is Here!

Post by shaunyata »

It finally happened! Korg released its own VST emulation of the MicroKorg. Sale price: $99.
Let's call this what it is: the 20th Anniversary MicroKorg. It's a couple months late, but hey--it's still '22.

From Synth Anatomy: microKorg
https://www.synthanatomy.com/2022/11/ko ... okorg.html

"microKorg is an authentic emulation of the almost legendary microKorg digital Synthesizer. Crazy, Korg has been selling this synth since 2002 with no technical changes. Now after 20 years on the market comes the emulation for your DAW.

The software microKorg comes with the identical engine as the original hardware. Featuring two multi-wave oscillators, a multimode filter, two envelopes, two LFOs, and more. Also, onboard is the best-known vocoder functionality.

It would be exciting if you could also use the microKorg plugin as an editor for the hardware. So you can load patches from the hardware into the plugin and vice versa.

Update: according to the manual it should work:
“In addition, by connecting an actual “microKORG” or “microKORG S” device via MIDI, tone data can be sent and received directly in the same way as with the “microKORG Editor” tone editor/librarian software Send/Receive Mode” is also built-in.”

Yes, it's the 20th anniversary MicroKorg. So glad they got this out.

The user interface has all functions and values on display, and there's even an oscilloscope for OSC1. It now has a 64-voice polyphony.

And hey--you can choose the skin color scheme from any of the previous editions of the MiicroKorg. Now that's a proper 20th Anniversary edition.
