MIKU STOMP PLUS

Apparently there is going to be a dedicated iPhone app but complete details are not yet available, plus they do not promise it can work with “English” but do say it can work with up to 6,000 characters in either Hiragana, Katakana or Romaji - but the latter is essentially writing Japanese in the Roman alphabet so it should in theory be possible to program Hatsune Miku to sing what you want to the tune of “Senbonzakura”. Korg are being a bit coy about how this will work. There are 11 different lyric patterns and you can also input and customize your own lyrics. Korg says the aluminum diecast body on the effects unit is decorated with a specially commissioned original illustration. Here’s a trailer hinting at the kinds of sounds you can create. And as usual, it doesnt do it perfectly, but the bugs actually make it more interesting.

It is a huge gimmick and has extremely popular branding, as well as does something unique. This new Korg Miku Stomp Effect, to be released in October in Japan, allows you to have a guitar duet with Miku, singing in her unique Yamaha eVocaloid style. Miku was a £180 retail pedal if I recall, and it was extremely popular and in comparison to that, under manufactured. Korg is obviously at home with Hatsune Miku, who was born out of electronic music. Korg’s contribution is the rather snazzy-looking Korg Miku Stomp Effect. She also recently became the Otona no Kagaku Pocket Miku Singing Keyboard for gadget kit makers Gakken. An iPhone app for entering lyrics is available, so you can make MIKU STOMP sing your original lyrics. Hatsune Miku has inspired an opera, Blythe fashion dolls, racing bikes and more.

That’s why in the past it has released such items as Hello Kitty Guitar Tuner in collaboration with Sanrio.Īnd now it has created the Korg Miku Stomp Effect for Hatsune Miku, the virtual character originally created for the Yamaha Vocaoloid system that has since become a mini industry in its own right. The pedal is also compatible with an iPhone app for downloading an extended library of lyric patterns. Korg, although respected as a premier electronic musical instrument and accessories maker, still likes to have fun every now and then. Based on the popular Hatsune Miku singing synthesizer software, the Korg Miku Stomp features eleven lyric patterns for synth guitar modulation.
