• The KingKORG NEO's filter collection is a treasure trove for sound designers. It encompasses a wide array of essential analog modeled filter types, enabling you to sculpt sounds with precision and ease. Korg painstakingly modeled filters that echo the iconic analog monophonic synths of the '70s—the go-to for punchy leads and deep basses. They also captured the essence of polyphonic synths, from the vibrant new-wave era of the '80s, and legendary filters from the legendary MS-20 analog synth.
• One of the most captivating features of these filters is their ability to self-oscillate when you dial up the resonance—a hallmark of classic analog synthesis. This capability opens up a world of sonic possibilities, from creating ethereal textures to crafting powerful, resonant tones.

• Comes equipped with a balanced XLR input on its front panel and includes a rugged, high-quality microphone. The vocoder features a sophisticated 16-band filter rivaling dedicated vocoder machines.
