KingKORG, the acclaimed and powerful Virtual Analog synth, is
back in a compact 37 Full-size key model with fresh, new sounds,
great vocoder, and a refreshed new look.
Introducing the KingKORG NEO, a virtual analogue synth that stands
in a league of its own. Designed for today's musician, this compact
powerhouse combines a classic analogue-like synth layout with
swift, intuitive editing, offering an unmatched level of depth and
flexibility.
With its XMT sound engine, 37 full-size keys, dynamic vocoder, and
a suite of user-friendly features, the KingKORG NEO is more than
just a synthesizer; it's a comprehensive tool for artists who
aspire to explore new realms of sound and push the boundaries of
musical creativity.
KingKORG NEO features our XMT virtual analog sound engine. XMT
stands for eXpanded Modelling Technology and was created to offer
an expansive array of sounds while ensuring simplicity in
operation.
Gone are the days of laborious oscillator adjustments for sound
crafting. The KingKORG NEO streamlines this process with pre-set
algorithms. These carefully designed combinations of different
oscillator types and quantities empower you to quickly shape rich,
stage-ready tones with ease.
Embracing the demand for diverse tonal capabilities, the KingKORG
NEO comes loaded with a wide range of oscillator algorithms. From
the classic sawtooth and square waves to the more intricate noise
patterns typical of analog synthesizers, and extending to PCM/DWGS,
this synthesizer is equipped to cater to an extensive variety of
musical needs and preferences.
In the heart of the KingKORG NEO lies its meticulously designed
filter section, a cornerstone in defining the synthesizer's unique
sonic character. We’ve infused KingKORG NEO with a diverse range of
filters, each adding a distinct flavor to your sound creations, an
aspect where analog modeling truly shines.
The KingKORG NEO's filter collection is a treasure trove for sound
designers. It encompasses a wide array of essential analog modeling
filter types, enabling you to sculpt sounds with precision and
ease. But we didn't stop there. We've painstakingly modeled filters
that echo the iconic analog monophonic synths of the '70s – the
go-to for punchy leads and deep basses. We’ve also captured the
essence of polyphonic synths from the vibrant new wave era of the
'80s, and the legendary filters from Korg’s own MS-20 analog
synth.
One of the most captivating features of these filters is their
ability to self-oscillate when you dial up the resonance – a
hallmark of classic analog synthesis. This capability opens up a
world of sonic possibilities, from creating ethereal textures to
crafting powerful, resonant tones.
KingKORG NEO synth comes equipped with a balanced XLR input on
its front panel, and includes a rugged, high-quality microphone.
This setup invites you to dive into the world of vocoding
instantly.
At the core of the KingKORG NEO's vocoder is a sophisticated
16-band filter, rivaling dedicated vocoder machines. This powerful
feature allows you to craft classic vocoder tones, but that’s just
the beginning. By shifting the filter frequency with the formant
shift function and finely adjusting the level and pan of each band,
you open the doors to an array of unique and original sounds.
Whether you’re aiming for vintage charm or contemporary edge, this
vocoder adapts effortlessly to any genre or style.
But there's more – the KingKORG NEO redefines flexibility. Timbre B
can ingeniously be used as a modulator, providing an alternative to
the traditional microphone input. This allows the vocoder effect to
be seamlessly blended with the synth sound, paving the way for
limitless sonic exploration.
Moreover, each of the three oscillators, A and B timbres, can be
individually selected as a source for the microphone input. This
unique feature enables you to synthesize a rich mix of voice and
instrument, creating a fusion of timbres that’s both innovative and
captivating.
KingKORG NEO’s extensive library of 200 stage-ready preset programs is created for the modern music maker. These presets span across eight categories like SYNTH, LEAD, and BASS and offer an intuitive gateway to finding the perfect sound for any scenario.
The KingKORG NEO elevates your sound with three master effect
slots, each offering six distinct effect types.
The PRE FX slot brings the grit and edge of effects like distortion
and amp simulator. MOD FX infuses your tracks with the classic
charm of phaser, chorus, and tremolo. For creating expansive
atmospheres, the REV/DELAY slot offers ambient effects including
hall reverb and modulation delay. Adjusting and selecting these
effects is straightforward, thanks to dedicated dials on the front
panel for each slot, complemented by FX control knobs for detailed
fine-tuning.
Embrace the spirit of classic synthesizers like the MS-20 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.
The KingKORG NEO comes equipped with a versatile step arpeggiator, a tool that breathes life into your performances by automatically generating arpeggio phrases based on the chords you play. Tailor your sound even further by selecting from six different arpeggio types. You can specify the duration, interval, and on/off status of each step, opening up a vast array of rhythmic possibilities.
The KingKORG NEO is designed with an original panel layout that
combines the classic feel of analog synthesizers with the best of
today's technology. Its layout is thoughtfully organized into
blocks, streamlining your workflow by putting the right controls at
your fingertips as you edit.
The oscillator section boasts a dedicated display showing the name
of the currently selected algorithm. With a simple turn of the
adjacent dial, you can browse through the options, see descriptive
names, and quickly jump to different categories like ANALOG or
DWGS. The control knobs are strategically placed to adjust the most
crucial parameters of each oscillator, allowing you to experience
the tactile satisfaction of shaping sound in real-time.
Enhancing this intuitive experience, the KingKORG NEO features
dedicated dials for each of its three master effects. This setup
makes experimenting with different effects and hearing their impact
on your sound as straightforward as it gets. And thanks to the
self-luminous organic EL display, visibility is crystal clear,
whether you’re under the bright lights of the stage or in a studio
setting.
The Favorites function lets you recall frequently-used programs at a single touch. You can assign a total of 40 programs to the eight category favorite buttons for easy recall.
