Korg MicroKORG XL joins the legendary MicroKorg keyboard and delivers an improved version of this classic, analog modelled, synthesizer vocoder. Korg MicroKORG XL features increased polyphony, uprated sounds, improved vocoder and an array of Kaoss effects. With MicroKORG XL you can generate your own personal sounds and it packs a cutting-edge sound engine and powerful effects into a compact, vintage-like body. In short, MicroKorg XL takes the MicroKorg platform to the next level.

Korg MicroKORG XL draws its power from the awesome RADIAS/R3 derived MMT Multi Modeling Technology, and features a powered-up vocoder. The updated ROM includes PCM data for recreating in-demand vintage keyboards such as piano, electric piano, and clav. Externally, the microKORG XL boasts a completely new vintage design with a textured black body and industrial silver panel.
