It is not just KORG. I picked up one of the new Minivova's from NOVATION last month that was supposed to come with an editor and they have still not released it either. I and many others are hopeful that they get their act together soon you can bet. They sold a ton of the things last month.

Thankfully the synth it self is an excellent build but the editor sure would make things much easier to program it with.

Hey, hey, so it would seem that Korg established a new standard for software editor releases that other manufacturers follow. Just kidding around really, i never really waited for the Kronos editor since it has such a big touchscreen display(even though i symphatise with users who wanted it badly), but with something like the MiniNova, it could come in handy for sure.

That's the point, whether hoax or real, 'leaking' details then pulling the page creates intrigue and forum chatter. It's clever marketing or a well executed hoax.

Very exciting!

If it has inherited the great AL-1 engine from the Oasys/Kronos, I'm getting one as soon as it hits the streets.

Now for the big question: does it have a fan?... :?
Paul: Don't be nervous.
John: I'M NOT NERVOUS!!!

I never doubted it... If it is 3 Osc, with the same anti aliasing as the Kronos, I'll be first in the queue :D

2 days, and we'll know.

Agree - suspected that on seeing the first leaked images - doesn't the XMT printed on it mean Modeling Technology?

Could anyone translate that German ad? Intriguing mention of the legacy of Korg synths and wonder if elements of those technologies are in the synth or whether they are just linking it to its lineage (suspect the latter). At 7kg its light and suspect it will not cost the earth if VA. That analogue filter module looks interesting too.

Hmm... VA seems more realistic, also in terms of price. Anyone know what the price of it will be?

Introducing:

KingKORG | synthesizer

The king of the analog modeling synth - a terrific live performance

KingKORG is the standalone analog modeling synthesizer with a huge potential! KingKORG embodies the seamless continuation of the design philosophy of classic KORG analogsynths like the MS-20 and Mono / Poly, from which the Prophecy have originated Z1, MS2000, and RADIAS. This fascinating new instrument has the unique characteristics typical synthesizer and an arsenal of practical controls for a perfect sound design. Despite its impressive technology and synth beginners become familiar with KingKORG quickly. On stage, he offers not only his great sound, but also literally, with its magnificent champagne-gold finish that emphasizes its royal name - KingKORG.

Highlights

Full featured analog modeling synth with 61 keys - optimized for live performance

Powerful oscillators - understandable for beginners, fascinating for experts

Modeling Filters for the reproduction of classical instruments

3 effect sections (each with 6 types of effects) to the perfect design of the sound

Vacuum Tube Driver for brilliant overtones fat Distortion

New panel layout for intuitive operation

CV / GATE OUT jack mono tribe or to control a Korg MS-20 (mini)

Free Librarian software for program management to download

Sound Filter FX


Powerful oscillators - understandable for beginners, fascinating for experts

In addition to a complex "3-oscillator x 2-timbre" technique to generate richer and more detailed sounds KingKORG features a newly developed XMT modeling sound engine. XMT (Xpanded Modeling Technology) is a proprietary Korg technology that allows easy operation in producing diverse sounds.

In conventional synthesizers, the individual oscillators while the sound creation only sequentially adjustable, the overall picture is hard to overlook. In contrast, offers KingKORG preset algorithms with various combinations of oscillators, which differ in type and number, and allow easy, fast creation of cool sounds.

The wide range of oscillator algorithms including not only the usual analogsynths sawtooth and square waves or noise generators, but also numerous PCM / DWGS algorithms that open up an entirely new field for a very custom sounds.

Modeling Filter reproduzieren den Klang klassischer Instrumente

Since the filter section on the characteristics of a synthesizer decides significantly, they found during the development of KingKORG special attention. The already large variety of analog modeling filter is significantly extended by the extremely flexible filtering of KingKORG.

In addition to the wide range of indispensable analog modeling filter types get realistic filter models to reproduce the analog monophonic lead and bass synths of the 70s, the New Wave typical polyphonic synths of the 80 and the filter of the classic Korg MS-20 analog synth.

Furthermore, can the setting of the filter resonance up to self increase - an existing analogsynths only real feature!

3 Effect sections with 6 types of effect for a perfect make-up sound

KingKORG offers three effect sections with six types of effects: PRE FX with effects such as distortion and amp simulator FX MOD with classic effects such as phaser, chorus and tremolo, and REV / DELAY with spatial effects such as reverb and delay effects and different Plate. Each effect processor has it own dial to select the desired effect type. With the arranged underneath FX controls can precisely fine-tune the effect.

Vacuum Tube Driver for brilliant overtones fat Distortion

Based on decades of experience in analog technology, a fully developed KORG analog vacuum tube driver circuit as a mastering effect for KingKORG. It produces the entire range between warm sonority and intense overdrive.

Vocoding

The built-in vocoder uses the input of the Board held on microphone input for sound processing and brings the synth seems to speak.

His Formant Shift function causes dramatic sound modifications, while the Formant Hold function a vowel is "frozen", which can then play with the keyboard.

Thanks KingKORGs Doppeltimbre architecture can combine the vocoder even with a different timbre and use it as additional sound or modulation source.

Virtual Patch function

With many classic synthesizers (such as the MS-20) could configure the signal flow with patch cables to physically connect one element to another. KingKORG forms this function by using an intuitive virtual patch system. Over six Virtual Patch assignments per timbre can be joint control signals such as EG, LFO, or virtual joystick movement with sound parameters like pitch or cutoff and modulate these creative.

Step Arpeggiator function

The Step Arpeggiator automatically generated from a sustained chord a tone sequence (arpeggio). You can choose among six Arpeggio and set duration, interval and on / off status of each Steps to arpeggios exactly to your own performance.

New panel layout for intuitive operation

The newly designed control panel is divided into logical blocks that direct the attention to the things that are for the processing of sounds important. Although KingKORG reflects the signal flow of a analogsynths in its construction, to its control panel is the most modern technology. For example, the oscillator section shows on its own display the name of the currently selected algorithm.

By turning the selector dial to appear adjacent to it are descriptive names, and by pressing the wheel to jump to the beginning of categories such as ANALOG or DWGS. The knobs are the most effective and most important parameters assigned to each oscillator and provide access to the unique features of an analog synthesizer sound design --- by turning knob. Also for each of the three effects, a separate controller is available to easily experiment with different effect settings and test their effect on the sound. A self-luminous organic EL display (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) provides on dimly lit stages for excellent readability.

61 dynamische Tasten plus X/Y Joystick

KingKORG offers a 5-octave velocity sensitive keyboard, the speech can be adapted even to classical models (normal, shallow or deep). Among the octave shift buttons, a backlit X / Y joystick to control is the most important live performance tricks.

When playing through the preset sounds, you quickly notice how well the joystick is already set up for useful and inspiring modulations.

Favorites feature for true comfort in the Live Performance


In the Favorites feature touch of a finger to call frequently used programs. One can the eight Category Favorite buttons to assign a total of 40 programs for immediate activation.

200 stage-ready sounds onboard

The broad selection of 200 "stage-ready" of the preset sounds KingKORG in eight categories, such as Synth Lead and Bass, etc. divided. All the important need for live performance standard sounds, including numerous PCM sounds for piano, electric piano, organ and clav are available with impeccable quality. Thanks KingKORGs perfect filter emulations of classic synthesizers are available not only familiar and authentic sounds for playing classic and new favorite songs, but also modern and inspiring sounds to expand the musical horizon. The User area has space for 100 user-defined programs.

CV / GATE OUT jack for controlling a mono tribe or MS-20

On the CV / GATE OUT jack allows an analog signal for controlling a mono tribe or KORG MS-20 output. With the included cable you can then eg play the mono tribe on KingKORG keyboard!

Free Librarian software for managing programs


To manage the programs of KingKORG on a computer, both devices via USB cable are connected. The required Librarian software is available free of charge.
