Korg's NAMM Takeover: KingKorg Neo, MicroKorg 2, HandyTraxx & Much More | NAMM 2024

[@TheNormalUniverse]

Korg is on fire! Loved the passion from the korg reps

[@NerdyFrames2000]

I remember Vestax.....aawwwwww thank you Korg....I always wanted a Handy Traxx

[@vinylarchaeologist]

Natalie is the greatest.

[@dannyvalentino328]

Where’s the Electribe 3?

[@bernardlindeman739]

Loool😂❤

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

😢😞

[@satyavratadas1640]

Outstanding Korg!

[@AlchemicalAudio]

Bringing the 19” rack back!!

[@tomphillpotts]

Korg styling looks so much better than Roland somehow. Maybe it's just me. Great to see MIDI 2.0 coming out in more things

[@alexandrosroussos]

Years I’m waiting for a Prologue mk2 : bi-timbral, after-touch, modern LogueSDK/Multiengine and audio-in 🤩🙏

[@Lfunk1983]

Cool new 19” rack instruments coming out for Korg. Roland, please follow lol. Love my EX-8000 one of their best rack synths of all time.

[@sarahhey8654]

Love KORG 💛

[@visisydandthevoid]

The mk2’s and the new keyboard controller all look pretty slick.

[@visisydandthevoid]

And that turntable 😮

[@BatmanWangChung]

Hell yeah Korg! 🤗💜🏆

[@filipzo]

5:35 You were THAT close to Close Encounters of the Third Kind

[@danwentz]

Korg... How about rack mounted mixers?

[@13opacus]

Hey it’s TALsounds!

[@sawssman965]

where can we get more info on that 12 track mixer?

[@trevormalcolm4328]

The NTS Kaoss pad looks tasty!

[@NamelessSmile]

Wait with MIDI 2.0 you need to use in and out to get the preset names etc as well? Thats kind of pants i assumed it would just do it bidirectionally through one cable

[@ShinyShinyBlack]

Damn. I saw those buttons on the Kaoss Pad and thought they were 1/4” inserts. Still a cool unit. 😊

[@HunterRobert-c1r]

I want that handy traxx

[@markbruggeman274]

On the Handy Traxx? Can the looped part be scratched?? That would be insane! Game changer

[@payt01]

Awesome stuff : Too bad Korg synths are stilll a bit pricey these days. I'm gathering the microkorg is about $700, which is about 200 too much if you ask me.

[@lance134679]

Korg has been busy. 👍

[@goldenlion8123]

WHERE CAN YOU GET THAT 3-TIER MODULE STAND??..

[@surrealchemist]

I really wanted to see some demos of the HandyTraxx but maybe it wasn't ready yet.

[@Reverb]

Yeah, us too, but they’re only showing the prototype at NAMM. Not quite ready for primetime yet.

[@Wagoo]

I hope we don't have to wait 4 years for the King Korg NEO rack module 😂I've bought all 3 wavestate/opsix/modwave modules since they were announced I think Korg are missing a trick by not making the NTS series for eurorack too.. eg. everyone uses the expensive Mordax data for an oscilloscope right now The HandyTraxx is nice surprise!

[@meru_lpz]

What i want is a "KingKORG Neo native" VST, i am very fond of KORG's MMT/XMT engine and KORG filter models

[@Wagoo]

It'd take a lot more effort vs the Wavestate/Opsix/Modwave VSTs to do though, as those are ARM based and King Korg uses DSPs. They did manage that with the MicroKORG though, which is DSP based (although a different family of DSP to the King Korg.. and there was already an open source project to emulate the MicroKORG DSP chip)

[@lunde28]

How about a module version of the Kronos...?

[@theKrautwald]

What's the rack they are using with the three rackmount modules?

[@kisho2679]

is it a midi looper or an audio looper in the microkorg2 ?

[@straighttalk2069]

I would say audio looper a midi looper would eat away at the eight note polyphony.

[@dontcallmejon]

I legit might get that turntable if it comes in black.

[@user-fgjjkfhj]

Microphone provided instead of vacuum tube? Give me back the original vacuum tube😂😂😂

[@rodequis6014]

04:20 my god, the display below its knobs? Really? Knobs should be below the display. 😮

[@HunterRobert-c1r]

Korgs decent I’m into the volca stuff

[@amsterdamned6209]

The main thing i hear is digitalism [again] static buzzing. The Microkorg Mk.1 however is the exeption!

[@bernardlindeman739]

Korg is like the Nintendo but for gear

[@John.-.925]

Yo I need that

[@etherealvibration]

Umm yea…. it’s super awesome….like why don’t you tell me about this thing I don’t know about. Oh I have kiddie bangs and finger tattoos. Super awesome!

[@Sidus666]

Wondering if the Microkorg 2 can accept all the community patches built for the OG by the community over the years. If not... That would be an insane missed opportunity.

[@wolfgangwiesinger9502]

Doesn't they dismissed the raw sound of the OG. ..

[@Sidus666]

@@wolfgangwiesinger9502 what do you mean? The community dismissed the XL not the OG.

They're not at NAMM, but that 37 key red MPC Keys got leaked

Who

[@michaelmadcat]

I'm gonna need a pair of Korgo shorts to carry around all these new awesome Korg instruments I'm gonna buy.

[@hunterfoxen]

we need volcas

[@RikMaxSpeed]

Still no KORG granular synth! nor,physical modelling - maybe they’re both being held in reserve…

[@DesertNinjaX]

No new Volcas... :(

[@peruvianmidilover1216]

We are waiting for the Korg Pa5x update and the quick recording function

[@SpOoNmAn365]

Indeed.

[@mikenagol69]

No electribe 3…..

[@jeremythornton433]

Where is the successor to the Kronos? Mine is a 1st gen and she's getting up to middle age. Sure, she still works great but c'mon. Korg is the flagship team! We need a new super monster with a crap ton of real time controls for live!

[@westerncivilization]

Did Korg ever figure out how to write a windows USB driver?

[@ChromosomeSyndicate]

As a person from a western civilization you did not learn how to manage your usb in your windows I see .

[@westerncivilization]

@@ChromosomeSyndicate Every Korg owner has their USB uninstaller utility installed on their windows machine. No other manufacturer even has an uninstaller utility.

[@miiroo2781]

I had to use that unistaller yesterday, bec updating korg midi driver and ableton didnt find any korg gear anymore...😤

[@danjacobson9881]

I wish they kept the Kronos and made a super Kronos 3

[@RikMaxSpeed]

Having finally made modules of the WaveState, ModWave and OpSix, why didn’t they immediately do that with KingKORG? Can’t they read the writing on the wall? Three octaves is just daft to play the keyboard sounds on these powerful synths. I’d rather buy a KeyStage and modules than clutter my studio with useless 3-octave keyboards.

[@anonymousmc7727]

She’s so dreamy…………..

[@kwhandy]

some boys collecting gameboy, some boys collecting pokemon cards, some collecting fishing kits is it normal for some boys collecting synth and sampler machine? *put microkorg's mic position aside than center pls, it's not too late to change in prototype

[@DragDealer]

Volcas????

[@Curious_Skeptic]

Kronos is not on the table I guess. Was so hoping for a new workstation from Korg. In reality, all we have is a lot of repackaging. Not seeing any real INOVATIONS, but more so money grabs. How can we take existing cheap tech, and sell more of it. Not to take away from the great gear that was out for a few years now, but truly wanted to see something NEW, brand new.

[@greglee1174]

NAMM 2024 and Roland’s isn’t there? I think Roland fans need some kind of explanation.

[@KeytarKris]

No Keytars?! Totally not interested!

[@jeremythornton433]

Great toys but why oh why couldn't you at least level the vocals before releasing this video? It's too loud, then it's too soft. C'mon people! It's freaking 2024!

[@zdravkodimitrov]

Tbh, only the MicroKorg and the new Kaoss pad look like hits, the rest are very derivative and uninspired...

[@ReynaldoAbasr]

i dont know music , cant afford them all

[@tududutu3424]

Where the fuck is Nautilus!

[@tocoparacuando]

Next time put someone who can actually play something

[@CaidicusProductions]

You guys need to use a better cellphone camera, perhaps something more recent than whatever has your framerate all choppy and blurry... I hear Apple makes some great phone cameras, these days. :P

[@saucehollywood]

Camera is not the problem. That’s operator error. Too cheap to hire someone that knows what theyre doin

[@saucehollywood]

Actually after watching the whole thing, the problem is there is no stabilizer on the lens or the operator forgot to turn on digital image stabilization.

[@CaidicusProductions]

@@saucehollywood I don't know, the camera also doesn't seem to handle panning the way a professional hi-bitrate camera does, much like a mobile phone. Either way, I'd meant the comment as a bit of tongue in cheek, seeing as one would expect Reverb, of all companies, to be able to afford good cameras for hardware shows as important as NAMM.

[@jerryKJose]

All the low hanging fruits for Korg at their pavilion…! Where is the new Kronos..?? 😂😂😂😂😂 These uncivilized and uneducated engineers at Korg has nothing substantially new to showcase.. only tiny gears..😂😂😂 The only flagship is PA5x which was released way before..🤣🤣. The only place where a brand can showcase its technical excellence and pride is with its new flagship workstation like Kronos and that is lacking here.. 😂😂😂. Remember the downfall of Korg is from the almighty Oasys to the crappy and flimsy Nautilus.. grow up Korg and recruit someone who can contribute substantially after firing your current very unproductive and unprofessional team..😂😂

[@goldenlion8123]

GO GET THE PS-3300 FOR ABOUT $13,000..MAYBE THAT'LL CALM YOU DOWN

[@DaraM73]

Ripping off Modal to the max. 😢

[@Wagoo]

Which is fine, if it means more rack compatible modules. Not like Modal were the first to make them either - but they were a great example to show Korg how they should be doing it to provide flexibility in the hardware format to owners

[@DaraM73]

@@Wagoo “were”….past tense 😜 Seemingly not, with their release from Carbon(ite) 😂👍
