While vocalizing into the mic and using the keyboard to play vocoder sounds, you can "freeze" the current tone of the vocoder by pressing the Formant Hold key.

Since the microKORG ships with a microphone, you can start using the powerful vocoder function immediately. In addition, the Formant Hold key freezes the formants of the input vocal signal, allowing you to capture your voice and play it on the keyboard. This is an eight-band vocoder (the sixteen filters are used in pairs) that can not only simulate the classic vocoder sounds of the past, but also shift the filter frequencies (Formant Shift function) or even adjust the level and panning of each frequency band to dramatically transform the tonal character and create highly original sounds. You can connect a mic to the AUDIO IN1 jack of the microKORG, and use it for a powerful vocoder that applies the tonal character of a vocal input to the sound of an oscillator, producing the impression that it is speaking or singing. Welcome to a world of unlimited creativity. It is fun to play, and it delivers a sound and functionality that will satisfy everyone from the beginner to the professional.

Underneath its small exterior lurks an amazingly powerful synthesizer. The new microKORG is a compact-sized synthesizer that delivers the true enjoyment of synthesis. Serious synthesizer and vocoder functionality in a compact package - the microKORG.
