  • 300 Presets: 200 Factory settings and 100 user settings
  • Max. 2 Timbres (Layer/Split (Split the keyboard into two different instruments))

Some comments from people who come to the forum about this model:

Comment:

I was waiting in anticipation for the black colored version of the KingKorg. After hearing the noise banks on many videos on the internet I ended up being in love with the keyboard.

If you are looking for the fat gorgeous pads associated with 80s then this is the keyboard for you personally. Many waveforms to select from and these are infinitely edited to create and range that is unbelievable of. It models perfect the controls for the analogue synths and combined alongside the broad range of effects you can find very few analogue noises which this synth cannot produce.

Sound smart I cannot fault it. At first I ended up being wanting the NordA1 but after trying the two out into the shop on an A/B test, for me the Korg happens far ahead because of it’s range and quality of sounds available.

whenever Korg first released this synth in gold it was simply too ‘bling’ for me personally (and clearly for most people), however in black it slots into my synth rack without yelling ‘look at me’.

Also weighing next to absolutely nothing, it really is easily transportable. For geekiness alone, I could have bought it for the startup sequence of lights sweeping over the the whole keyboard.

My only gripe, but not enough to lose and stars (as I own it attached to the computer) is just 200 memory areas for saving patches, that will be a little in the pokey side.

I cannot suggest this keyboard more to anybody seeking that evasive analogue keyboard sound from their teens (if they’re going right on through a mid-life crisis just like me).

Highly suggested
