A portable virtual analog synth packed with sonic potential.
The KORG KingKORG NEO VA synthesizer puts immense sonic versatility within easy reach. With its powerful virtual analog sound engine, intuitive control layout and lightweight yet road-ready 37-key body, the KingKORG NEO makes it simple to conjure massive sounds on stage or in the studio. This synth offers extensive preset programs and a built-in vocoder with mic, providing a compact yet comprehensive toolkit for contemporary music production.
Shape Sounds Intuitively With Versatile Oscillators
At the heart of the KingKORG NEO lies the flexible XMT virtual analog sound engine. Unlike synths that require tweaking many oscillator parameters, this one lets you choose from preset algorithms that combine various oscillator types and counts. From vintage analog waves to complex PCM/DWGS, the wide range of oscillator algorithms empowers effortless sound shaping with a turn of a knob. The synth's intuitive control layout takes cues from classic analogs, making sound manipulation organic and enjoyable.
Dial in Your Tone With Diverse Filters
The filter section was designed with meticulous attention, as it defines the core of any synth's character. The KingKORG NEO's filters include analog synth models from the '70s and '80s, as well as the iconic MS-20 filters from KORG. With self-oscillating filters that can scream or sing, you have unmatched versatility in tone shaping. Whether you seek smooth, rounded analog warmth or precise, surgical sound design, the possibilities are extensive.
Perform With Production-Ready Preset Programs
With 200 expertly crafted preset programs sorted into intuitive categories, the KingKORG NEO makes stage and studio-ready sounds immediately accessible. The presets span evolving musical styles, from rich basses, smooth pads and searing leads, to synth brass, strings and more. Finding the perfect sound for the song is as easy as scrolling through the categories and dialing it in.
Sculpt Sound With Effects and Onboard Vocoder
Three master effects slots give you flexible sound-sculpting options, from distortion to chorus to rich reverbs. The quality effects polish and enhance the synth engine's raw tone while the built-in 16-band vocoder with included microphone opens creative doors. Make your voice sing through vintage vocoder effects, harmonize with oscillator sounds and craft uniquely original textures.
With its portable form factor, immense sonic flexibility and intuitive interface, the KORG KingKORG NEO VA synthesizer puts pro-level virtual analog power in your hands. Whether producing at home or performing live, this synth provides endless inspiration.
