Korg has been a leading name in synthesizers since the 1970s, establishing itself with the creation of classic analogue synthesizers like the MS-20 and ARP Odyssey. The MS-20, introduced in 1978, became a beloved instrument for its gritty, aggressive sound and semi-modular architecture, making it a favourite in genres from punk to techno. Korg’s recreation of the ARP Odyssey brought a legendary duophonic synthesizer from the 1970s back to life, preserving its unique sound while adding modern features. These early instruments set the stage for Korg’s reputation as a forward-thinking company with a deep respect for analogue synthesis.

In more recent years, Korg has continued to innovate with the Korg M1, which defined the sound of the late 80s and early 90s with its digital synthesis and built-in sequencer, and the Korg Volca Series, offering compact and affordable analogue and digital instruments that allow musicians to build portable modular setups. The Korg Minilogue and Monologue have also made waves, providing analogue sound with modern features like programmability and built-in effects. Across decades, Korg has balanced accessibility with innovation, creating instruments that cater to professionals and newcomers alike.

Midi

MIDI, which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a technical standard that enables electronic musical instruments, computers, and other devices to communicate with each other. It allows for the transmission of musical data such as note messages, control signals, and synchronization commands between compatible devices. MIDI data does not contain actual audio; instead, it contains instructions for generating sound, controlling parameters, and sequencing musical events. This versatile protocol has revolutionized music production by facilitating seamless integration between different hardware and software components, enabling musicians, producers, and composers to create, manipulate, and perform music with unprecedented flexibility and precision

Pianos and Keyboards

From expressive stage pianos to versatile MIDI controllers and classic electric keyboards, this category brings together everything you need to play, perform, and produce. Whether you’re after the weighted feel of hammer-action keys, the vintage charm of a Rhodes-style sound, or a compact keyboard to control your synth rig, you’ll find something here to suit your playing style. Ideal for both studio work and live performance, these instruments offer tactile connection and musical freedom across genres — from ambient textures to punchy techno stabs and everything in between.

USB

Having a USB connection provides crucial benefits for modern musicians and producers, primarily related to connectivity and workflow. USB enables a direct link between the synthesizer and a computer, making it possible to transmit MIDI data seamlessly without relying on traditional 5-pin MIDI cables. This connection allows the synth to function as a MIDI controller, sending and receiving MIDI signals to and from a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). As a result, musicians can easily sequence and record their synth performances, automate parameters, or even use the synth to control virtual instruments within the DAW. This streamlined setup saves time and reduces the amount of cabling and interfaces required, creating a more efficient studio or performance environment.

In addition to MIDI capabilities, USB ports on synthesizers often support data transfer and software updates. This means users can back up and restore patches, download new firmware updates to add features or improvements and manage their sounds with dedicated software. For some portable or compact synths, USB connections also offer a convenient power source, allowing the synth to draw power directly from a computer or USB battery pack. This combination of data management, connectivity, and power makes USB-equipped synthesizers a versatile and practical choice for musicians seeking flexibility and ease of use in their setups.
