Full Description

Rich sonic palette with XMT virtual analog sound engine

The Korg KingKorg Neo is designed to simplify the process of sound crafting. With its XMT virtual analog sound engine, you can quickly shape rich, stage-ready tones without the need for laborious oscillator adjustments. The pre-set algorithms offer carefully designed combinations of different oscillator types and quantities, empowering you to effortlessly create a wide range of sounds. From classic sawtooth and square waves to intricate noise patterns and PCM/DWGS, this synthesizer caters to all your musical needs and preferences.

The KingKorg Neo offers a Favourites function that is perfect for live performance. With the ability to assign up to 40 programs to eight category favourite buttons, accessing your go-to sounds is as simple as a single touch. Whether you need a specific synth, lead, or bass sound, the Favourites function allows you to effortlessly switch between your preferred presets, ensuring a seamless and efficient performance experience.

Flexible array of powerful filters for tone-shaping

At the heart of the KingKorg Neo lies its meticulously designed filter section. This cornerstone of the synthesizer's sonic character offers a diverse range of filters that add a distinct flavour to your sound creations. From essential analog modelling filter types to iconic filters from the '70s and '80s, you have a wide array of options to sculpt sounds with precision and ease. These filters also have the ability to self-oscillate when you dial up the resonance, opening up a world of sonic possibilities, from ethereal textures to resonant tones.

Gooseneck microphone - unlock the power of the vocoder

The KingKorg Neo invites you to explore the world of vocoding with its comprehensive vocoder capabilities. Featuring a sophisticated 16-band filter, rivaling dedicated vocoder machines, you can create classic vocoder tones and go beyond. By shifting the filter frequency, adjusting the level and pan of each band, and utilizing the formant shift function, you can craft unique and original sounds.

Additionally, Timbre B can be used as a modulator, providing an alternative to the traditional microphone input, allowing for seamless blending of the vocoder effect with the synth sound. The KingKorg Neo redefines flexibility, enabling you to synthesize a rich mix of voice and instrument, resulting in a fusion of timbres that is both innovative and captivating.

Three master effect slots

The KingKorg Neo takes your sound to the next level with its three master effect slots. Each slot offers six distinctive effect types, allowing you to customize your sound to perfection. The PRE FX slot brings the grit and edge of effects like distortion and amp simulator. The MOD FX slot infuses your tracks with classic charm through phaser, chorus, and tremolo effects. And for creating expansive atmospheres, the REV/DELAY slot offers ambient effects such as hall reverb and modulation delay. With dedicated dials for each slot and FX control knobs for fine-tuning, adjusting and selecting these effects is a breeze.

Virtual patch system - the future of patching is here

Embrace the spirit of classic synthesizers with the KingKorg Neo's innovative Virtual Patch system. This intuitive feature brings the flexibility of physically patching synthesizers into the digital age. With six Virtual Patch assignments available for each timbre, you can virtually connect control signals like EG, LFO, or joystick movements to key sound parameters, including pitch and cutoff. This seamless integration allows for intricate modulation and a deeper exploration into sound-shaping, giving your music a new dimension of sonic creativity.
