Ex-Demo Korg microKorg XL+ Synthesizer Vocoder

Item has been on display in store and is in great condition. 

With its unmistakably unique exterior and its inimitable sound, the microKORG set the standard for analog modeling synthesizers. The year 2008 saw the introduction of the microKORG XL, which inherited the microKORGs fat and powerful sounds, while adding keyboard staples such as electric piano and CX-3 organ. And now, in the next evolutionary step, the microKORG XL+ delivers a fresh update to the sounds and look of the microKORG XL, making it an ideal compact keyboard.

Features:

• Even more vintage sounds, including the KORG SGproX piano, the M1 and the VOX organs
• New program genre selector that fits todays needs
• New yet nostalgic - black panel ";new vintage"; design
• Featuring MMT - the distillation of Korgs analog modeling technology
• Vocoder feature with included gooseneck microphone
• The powerful effect engine you expect from Korg
• Korgs proprietary natural touch mini-keyboard, designed with an emphasis on playability
• Battery powered operation is supported for increased portability

More Vintage Sounds Than Ever!

Lush analog modeled synthesizer sounds that are characteristic of the microKORG have been freshly added to the microKORG XL+. In addition, for band use, the microKORG XL+ comes equipped with the piano sound from Korgs classic stage piano, the SGproX (famous for its ability to stand out in your bands mix), as well as its hard-edged grand-type electric piano. This compact package also includes sounds from the M1 and the VOX organ, vintage tape-type string and flute machines, as well as other gorgeous sounds from keyboard history. Each of these 128 programs are genuinely usable sounds, giving the microKORG XL+ plenty of variety to serve as your main keyboard or of course as a secondary keyboard in your rig.

The microKORG XL featured a sound selector that lets you choose your sound using two large dials: "music genre" and "instrument category." The new microKORG XL+ offers an additional selection of these "music genres" to fit todays fast-moving music scene. Now you can select a program that matches your song more intuitively than ever. For even more convenience, you can also leave one of the dials fixed and only use the other dial to make program changes during a song (music genre fixed), or use the dial to select vocoder variations (instrument category fixed).

The microKORG XL+ projects a style thats reminiscent of vintage electric pianos, featuring a futuristic yet retro design with a stylish black panel. High-quality parts such as metal levers, dials that move with an audible click, and knobs with a sturdy operating feel are some of the ways that the microKORG XL+ outclasses other instruments in its range and enhances your experience editing synthesizer sounds.

The microKORG XL+s sound engine uses MMT (Multiple Modeling Technology), borrowing from Korgs well proven wealth of analog modeling technology. The MMT sound engine has been featured on numerous products, and provides two oscillators that generate huge powerful sounds. Oscillator 1 (OSC1) gives you a total of seven types of oscillator algorithm to choose from, including formant waveforms such as human voice, and PCM/DWGS waveforms for vintage keyboard and strings. It also lets you use techniques that cannot be imitated on typical PCM synthesizers, such as cross modulation, unison, and VPM (Variable Phase Modulation). By taking advantage of modulation (sync or ring) with oscillator 2 (OSC2), its easy to create complex and powerful sounds.
