Vocoding synth gets a fresh new coat of paint for a limited time

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Korg's microkeyed synth and vocoder, the Japanese giant has afforded the diminutive emperor some new clothes.

Looking not too dissimilar to the original colourway, the anniversary edition is decked out with a platinum fascia, and black wooden end cheeks and rotaries.

It was only last year that the microKorg was updated to the S version, which featured an onboard 2.1 speaker system, new presets and a striking new paint job.

The microKorg PT will be available in the summer for £329, with only a limited number of units offered for sale.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
