Model overview
The KORG microKORG2 WH continues the legendary series in a way that unites the charisma of retro synthesisers with the freshness of a new generation. Its interface is designed to avoid overwhelming newcomers, yet still offers impressive flexibility for experienced musicians.
The updated sound engine deserves special attention. It puts deep, punchy bass, atmospheric pads and aggressive leads at your fingertips, while leaving plenty of room to experiment with effects, filters and modulation. The new set of presets proves that analogue-style character doesn’t impose limits — in fact, it offers everything you need to shape the sound of modern music.
Another standout feature is the vocoder, inspiring creativity by transforming your voice into an instrument of its own. Whether used in real-time on stage or while recording in the studio, it instantly finds its place within any arrangement.
Even the design has been rethought: a bold, modern OLED screen makes parameter editing simple, while illuminated buttons ensure clarity even in low light. Add in its portability and the option to run on an adaptor or batteries, and you have an instrument that can travel anywhere with you.

Producers will find it a constant source of inspiration, versatile enough for everything from electronic music to cinematic scores. Live performers will love its reliability and portability: it fits into a backpack without sacrificing energy or power on stage.
