Korg

Ask any serious fetishist their Top 10 list of synthesisers they would love to own and all but the most awkward will list the Korg MS20 in a very high position. However, owning one of these classics is a costly endeavour, assuming one can be found at all. But now thanks largely to the rising popularity of hardware synthesisers within the production community it is possible to own a brand-new MS20 Mini, which is a faithful recreation of the Korg MS20, for a fraction of the cost of the original.

Korg is looking to create maximum Kaoss with its all-new KP3+ flagship effects unit...

Korg have kindly offered DJ Mag readers the chance to win a selection of their rather cool limited edition microKEY controller keyboards as part of their 50th anniversary celebrations.

Once upon a time DJs roamed the planet with boxes filled with enough vinyl to cripple a sherpa and synthesisers that were so big and heavy they required two roadies to wrestle them onto the stage. Fortunately, these days, all it takes is a laptop with a couple of controllers plugged into the USB ports to do the job. Korg have been around since the beginning of the electronic music revolution, and while once they were manufacturers of hardware behemoths, they have kept abreast of the times by releasing a wide range of products in both hardware and software formats, from bulky workstation synthesisers designed to live in a studio to their micro range of keyboards, which are the perfect size and weight to be taken on the road.

It’s a New Year, and good times, as we are giving our readers a chance to win one of 10 Korg Mini KP2s. The Korg KP2 is a DJ FX playback device that can be used to process the entire output of a DJ rig with Korg’s now-famous KAOSS effects. One of the original FX boxes for DJs, these handheld units are easy to use and add extra oomph to any DJ set. To get your hands on one of these boxes of joy worth £167.
