KORG SIGMA
For Sale
Unique Analog Synthesizer
- GORGEOUS CONDITION!
- Plays Quarter Tones, Pressure
Sensitive
- Korg's Strangest Synth?
GENERAL INFO:
This instrument is perhaps the most unusual Korg produced. It was released
in 1979 or so, and looks like they had a futuristic theme in mind. It was
marketed as a preset synth, but it's way more than that. The flip tabs are
for either octaves (in the synth section) or preset sounds (in the instrument
section). Each fliptab has a knob above it which controls a different
parameter. You can select multiple tabs at the same time, often resulting
in a much thicker sound. The "instrument" sounds are about
as realistic as you could expect an analog synth from that time to sound (not!),
but with a little tweaking of the parameters and layering, you can get some
really interesting results. There are 2 joysticks, one for pitch
modulation and the other for filter modulation (lowpass and highpass). The
keyboard's also pressure sensitive and can be set to bend the pitch up, down or
add vibrato. You can also set this synth to play quarter tones. We
can't think of any other synth that made this a feature. All in all, this
is quite an interesting and attractive synthesizer. We would keep it but
we've got too many synths already!
DETAILS:
Our items are as described, which means no typical
surprise post-sale repair bills or serious flaws typical of most vintage gear
deals!
This Korg Sigma is in GORGEOUS / exceptional condition, probably the best you'll
find - it's obvious it was taken care of all these years. We suspect it
was left in its case most of its life. All features seem to be
working exactly as they should. Not all of its
many jacks were tested but we see no reason for them not to work properly.
This sale includes an ultra-cool silver Korg hard case (33"x20"x8"). We
feel this Sigma will make anyone looking for a used Sigma REALLY happy!
Don’t let our overly critical
descriptions discourage you, check out the photos above!
