Superbooth 23: 20 years ago, Korg’s microKorg helped to kickstart a trend for affordable, portable synths, and its built-in vocoder gave it an additional layer of hipster cool. To celebrate this double-decade anniversary, a new semi-translucent version - microKorg Crystal - has been released, giving you the opportunity to see what’s going on inside.
The redesigned chassis puts the microKorg Crystal’s electronics and internals on display, and the controllers (knobs, dials and wheels) are see-through, too. There’s also a stainless mirror-finish front panel that “blurs the limits between you and your instrument and provides a cosmetic impact never seen in any other musical instrument.” Yep, all that from a front panel.
