Korg Keyboards

The Korg M1 is one of the bestselling keyboards of all time, with over 250,000 sold. Launched in 1988, the M1 is the sound of New Jack Swing, Technopop and most pop music from the late 80s and early 90s. The piano and organ sounds on the M1 are so iconic that they are now a standard sound on not just Korg keyboards, but on keyboards by virtually all major instrument manufacturers. The Korg MS-20 is an iconic analog synthesizer launched in 1978 that has been used by many popular musicians including Daft Punk, The Prodigy, Aphex Twin, Legowelt, Foals and Scooter. After a resurgence in demand for the MS20, Korg reissued the MS-20 Mini. Developed by the same engineers who worked on the original, the mini is 86% the size of the MS-20 and faithfully recreates the sound of the original. Korg also added some modern features such as 5 Pin MIDI In and USB MIDI I/O. The microKORG was launched back in 2002, and although still in production, it will be remembered in years to come as the synth that defined the decade. The microKORG was quickly adopted by a huge number of musicians and can be heard on records by The Prodigy, The Killers and Enter Shikari.
