On
Synthesizers
Switch
on
the
radio
or
the
TV,
music
by
synthesizers
is
commonplace
not
only
in
music
programs
but
also
as
commercial
background
music
and
drama
theme
music.
You
could
say
that
we
are
surrounded
by
synthesized
sound.
Then,
why
has
the
synthesizer
become
so
popular?
In
a
word,
it
is
because
the
synthesizer
can
imitate
the
sounds
of
the
existing
musical
instruments
and
produce
unique
sounds
which
no
one
else
has
ever
used.
Generally,
the
synthesizer
is
a
monophonic
instrument
for
playing
melodics.
This
means
that
the
synthesizer
has
the
features
that
it
can
freely
change
tones
and
sounds,
and
continuously
change
tunes.
As
a
result
of
technological
progress,
a
polyphonic
synthesizer
capable
of
producing
chords
is
now
available,
through
at
a
very
high
price;
and
an
in¬
creasing
baricty
of
synthesizers
are
on
the
market,
(see
photo)
The
synthesizer
can
produce
sounds
by
connection
to
an
electronic
organ,
stereo
set
or
guitar
amplifier
(preferably
a
keyboard
amplifier).
And
the
effects
can
be
doubled
by
connecting
an
echo
machine,
phase
shifter
(KORG
Mr.Multi).
or
a
volume
pedal
(KORG
2
-
channel)
between
them.

Keyboard
ariisiv
li
has
long
been
hclicscd
that
ii
is
difficult
and
complex
to
play
a
synthesizer,
The
new
KORG
Mtcro^preset
synthesizer
is
not
only
simple
loplay
but.
thanks
to
1C
technology,
has
all
the
functions
of
a
synthest/rr
in
compact
form.
With
ihe
belief
that
knobs

the
operation
panel
of
a
synthesizer
arc
part
of
the
keyboard,
we
hase
designed
the
operation
panel
to
be
as
compact
as
possible
so
that
the
player
may
be
able
to
operate
all
the
knobs
with
little
need
of
moving
his
hand,
we
are
sure
that
you
will
be
fully
satisfied
with
the
sounds
you
produce
with
this
new
KORG
Micro-preset
svnthcsizcr
Main
Features
I
This
KORG
Micro-preset
Synthesizer
can
mix
preset
sounds
by
means
of
depressing
more
than
two
preset
select
switches
at
the
same
time.
This
means
that
it
can
produce
a
greater
variety
of
sounds
than
the
conventional
preset
type
synthesizer.
2.
Such
effect
knobs
as
TRAVELER.
MODULATION
DEPTH
and
PORAMKNTO
are
located
together
in
the
lower
part
of
the
panel
so
they
out
be
operated
freely
with
the
left
hand
alone.
3.
The
new
KORG
Micro-preset
synthesizer
is
small
in
size
and
light
in
weight
because
its
circuitry'
consists
of
ICs.
This
enables
you
to
play
the
synthesizer
in
a
standing
posture
by
hanging
it
from
your
shoulder
with
a
strap.
4.
Once
the
KORG
Micro-preset
is
tuned
after
a
is
switched
ON.it
is
ready
for
playing
in
tunc
always.
This
is
very
important
for
a
synthesizer
which
is
often
played
with
an
electronic
organ
or
other
musical
instruments,
but
there
have
been
few
synthesizer
which
meet
this
condition.

THE
MICRO-PRESET
WITH
BUILT-IN
SPEAKER
M-500SP
1)
A
compact
amp
and
speaker
are
built
right
into
the
M-SOOSP
so
you
can
play
it
anytime
by
just
plugging
in
the
power
cord.
Output
is
600mW
so
you
have
plenty
of
volume
for
performance
even
without
an
external
amp
See
figure
I.
2)
To
listen
to
the
M-SOOSP
with
headphones,
plug
the
headphones
into
the
headphone
jack.
When
headphones

head¬
phones
rated
at
8ft.
3)
Use
the
connecting
cord
supplied
