Korg releases microAUDIO interfaces with miniKORG 700S filter

Tiny boxes, serious routing, and one version sneaks vintage synth filtering into a USB interface.

Who dropped the hardware and why it matters

• Korg pushed two microAUDIO interfaces at creators chasing compact rigs.
• The lineup targets desktop setups, mobile recording, and streaming chaos.
• The play is portable without gutting audio quality.
• USB-C keeps it friendly with laptops, phones, and tablets.

What actually sits inside these boxes

• Both units run 24-bit, 192 kHz conversion with 2-in, 2-out paths.
• Two combo inputs handle mic, line, or Hi-Z duties.
• Phantom power, balanced outputs, and headphones stay standard.
• Onboard Noise Gate pairs with Compressor or Limiter per channel.

How signal flows and stays controllable

• Direct monitoring avoids latency headaches during tracking.
• Headphones route independently from the main outputs.
• Stereo Link locks channels together for fast control.
• Loopback feeds system audio straight into streaming apps.

Why does the microAUDIO 722 play dirtier

• The 722 carries an analog filter tied to the miniKORG 700S.
• Low-pass, high-pass, or bypass modes shape live or DAW audio.
• The filter works solo or inside hybrid setups.
• MIDI In and Out allow automation with external gear.

What software sweetens the deal

• Filter Ark extends hardware filtering inside a DAW.
• Models pull from MS-20, Polysix, miniKORG 700S, and ARP Odyssey.
• Extra resonator and vowel filters push sound design.
• Ableton Live Lite, Komplete Select, and Ozone Elements ship free.

Where pricing and availability land

• Both interfaces are on sale immediately.
• microAUDIO 22 lists at £169.
• microAUDIO 722 lands at £229.
• Size and weight stay desk-friendly across both models.
