Korg r3 37 keys synthesizer vocoder

Occupying the middle ground in korg’s mmt lineup between the flagship radias and the ultra-portable microkorg xl, the r3 delivers sophisticated virtual analog power in a compact yet sturdy package. Its 37 full-sized, velocity-sensitive keys and four assignable knobs make it a lightweight yet flexible performance instrument for shaping classic modeled sounds with a synthesis engine in the spirit of the ms2000.

the r3 is marketed as a” synthesizer/vocoder”, and the included gooseneck mic lets you take full advantage of its 16-band vocoding capabilities right out of the box. Simply enter vocoder mode for access to all of the vocoder’s variables that work with an internal or external carrier signal. It also lets you record up to sixteen 7.5-second formant motion sequences, allowing you to play saved phrases
