Synthesizer Vocoder

Introducing the Korg R3

Meet the R3!
A powerful yet compact synthesizer vocoder packed with sounds, form, and features that will attract all manner of musicians and producers.

The Korg R3 synthesizer vocoder is a full-fledged music synthesizer that provides an easy and affordable way to enjoy sophisticated synthesis and advanced sound creation. In a compact and light-weight body, the R3 synthesizer vocoder packs 37 full-size, velocity sensing keys, along with two-timbre/eight-voice performance power.

The sound generator section of the Korg R3 synthesizer vocoder uses the same acclaimed MMT (Multiple Modeling Technology) used by the KORG RADIAS, delivering thick, gutsy, and crisp analog sounds. With quality that will satisfy both professionals and beginners, the R3 synthesizer vocoder is a great choice for adding synth sounds on stage or in music production.
