Korg Volca
Synthesizer · Japan
Korg Volca is a series of compact, affordable, battery-powered instruments introduced in 2013. Each small unit focuses on a specific role—such as analog bass, lead, drums, or sampling—and includes a built-in sequencer and sync connections, encouraging hands-on jamming and multi-unit setups.

Korg MS
Japan
The MS series is Korg's line of patchable semi-modular synthesizers from the late 1970s, built around a small patch bay for hands-on signal routing. It includes the single-oscillator MS-10 and the popular dual-oscillator MS-20, and the name was later revived for the virtual-analog MS2000.

Korg CX-3
Organ · Japan
A single-manual clonewheel organ from Korg with nine drawbars, designed to recreate the sound of an electromechanical tonewheel organ and rotary speaker. Introduced in 1979 as a compact alternative to heavy console organs, it was reissued in 2001 as an all-digital instrument using Korg's REMS modeling with a 61-note waterfall keyboard.
-
Korg 900PS
Synthesizer · Japan
The Korg 900PS is a preset analog synthesizer from Korg. Korg's official support page lists the model as 900PS and provides its manual, so this row was reconciled from the previous PS900 naming to the official 900PS identity. It is a preset keyboard instrument with fixed tone families and performance controls rather than a programmable synthesizer in the later polysynth sense.
-
Korg volca keys
Japan
The Korg Volca Keys is a compact analog synthesizer in the Volca series offering a three-voice 'loop synth' with selectable voicing modes, a delay, and a built-in sequencer for chords, leads, and pads.
-
Korg Trident
Synthesizer · Japan
The Korg Trident, released in 1980, is an eight-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer combining dedicated synth, brass, and string sections with patch memory. It was Korg's flagship performance polysynth of the early 1980s.
-
Korg Monologue
Synthesizer · Japan
The Korg Monologue, released in 2017, is a monophonic analog synthesizer derived from the Minilogue, optimized for bass and lead sounds. It offers two oscillators, a drive circuit, a flexible step sequencer with motion recording, and microtuning options.
-
Korg M1
Synthesizer · Japan
The Korg M1, released in 1988, is a digital synthesizer workstation and one of the best-selling synthesizers of all time. It combined sample-based synthesis with effects and a built-in sequencer, and its preset sounds—especially its piano and 'Universe' patches—defined much of late-1980s and 1990s music.
-
microKORG
Synthesizer · Japan
The microKORG, released in 2002, is a compact virtual analog synthesizer and vocoder with a 37-key mini keyboard. Affordable and versatile, with knob-based editing and a wide range of sounds, it became one of the best-selling synthesizers ever and a fixture in many genres.
-
Korg MS-20
Synthesizer · Japan
The Korg MS-20, released in 1978, is a patchable semi-modular monophonic analog synthesizer with two oscillators and a distinctive dual filter capable of aggressive resonance. Its hands-on patch bay and external signal processor made it a hugely influential and enduring instrument.
