Main features
EDS-i (Enhanced Definition Synthesis - integrated)
This sound engine integrates the main functionality such as oscillator, filter, amp, LFO/EG, and effects from the
"EDS" (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) sound engine of the M3 and M50, delivering the rich and vivid sound
inherited from the EDS system.
49 MB (calculated as 16-bit linear) of PCM data
The microSTATION contains 49 MB of PCM data featuring Korg's voicing technology, as well as 480 preload
programs using this PCM data and 256 preload combinations using these programs.
Combinations
Up to 16 programs can be layered, split, or velocity‐switched to create complex and powerful sounds.
Dual polyphonic arpeggiator
In addition to the classic arpeggio patterns of the past, the microSTATION's arpeggiator can also play guitar or bass
riffs, or drum patterns. Combinations and songs allows you to use two arpeggiators simultaneously. The built‐in 512
user arpeggio patterns bring you a vast amount of performing potential.
Five stereo insert effects, two stereo master effects, and one stereo total effect
Add the finishing touches to your sound, using your choice of 134 types of high‐quality effect, and a mixer section
that lets you control the effect routing.
Realtime controls and joystick
The realtime controls let you modify the sound in realtime, and can also be used to control other Korg products or
popular software.
High-resolution (480 ppq) sequencer
The built‐in sequencer provides 16 MIDI tracks and 1 master track. A full range of functionality for music
production and performance are provided, including Auto Song Setup, Grid Sequence, and Template Songs.
Computer connection via USB, as well as an SD slot
You can connect the microSTATION to your computer via USB for easy transfer of MIDI data. Commercially
available SD cards can be used for convenient management of microSTATION data files.
microSTATION Editor and microSTATION Plug-In Editor are included
You can edit while viewing a large number of parameters on your computer screen, or use the microSTATION from
within your DAW as if it were a plug‐in synthesizer. Detailed sound parameters, effect parameters, drum kits, and
user arpeggio patterns that cannot be accessed from the panel of the microSTATION itself can be edited and created
by using the microSTATION Editor / Plug‐In Editor.
