ANALOG MODELING SYNTHESIZER

Amazing analog sounds that only digital can provide

Inspired by the legendary KORG Mono/Poly, the new KORG multi/poly analog modeling synthesizer delivers breathtaking analog sounds combined with extraordinary digital power and flexibility.

The original Mono/Poly boasted an unusually rich sound from its four stacked oscillators, as well as unique, experimental features like flexible x-mod and sync routing and round-robin oscillator triggering. Previously only attainable in large modular systems, the Mono/Poly delivered these features in a compact, user-friendly instrument.

The new multi/poly is the first instrument to use KORG's next-generation analog modeling technology and builds on that legendary distinctive combination of big sounds and modular-derived experimental features. It's like a polyphonic modular system in a compact, hands-on package – a limitless playground for synth players and sound designers. Create hardware mash-ups with East-coast, West-coast, and wavetable oscillators and a wide selection of newly-modeled filters. Make them come alive with models of different envelope, VCA, and portamento circuits. Virtual voice cards produce organic timbral variation. Layer Rotate triggers new Programs with each press of a key. Plus Kaoss Physics, Motion Sequencing 2.0, massive modulation, and more.

Main Features

Inspired by KORG’s classic Mono/Poly and its combination of big sounds and modular-derived experimental features, the multi/poly produces amazing analog timbres with the flexibility, power, and high polyphony that only digital technology can provide.

• Create hardware mash-ups with classic analog, digital wavetable, and wave-shaper oscillators, a selection of next-generation modeled filters, modeled portamento, modeled envelopes, and modeled VCAs.
• Programs include four oscillators, a noise generator, dual filters, and three insert effects, plus a massively flexible modulation system with four looping DAHDSR envelopes, five LFOs, six Mod Processors, three key-track generators, and multi-lane Motion Sequencing 2.0.
• Performances layer four Programs at once, adding master reverb & EQ, another two Mod Processors, and Kaoss Physics.
• Layer Rotate triggers new Programs with each press of a key.
• Motion Sequencing 2.0 runs individual sequences for each voice. Easily record knob movements in real-time. Timing, Pitch, Shape, and four sets of Step Sequence values are separated into “lanes.” Each lane can have a different number of steps. Modulate loop points, step probabilities, and more on a per-note basis.
• Kaoss Physics combines hands-on modulation control with interactive game-style physics including gravity, reflection, absorption, and friction.
• Mod Knobs make it easy to control sounds and make them your own.
• Smooth Sound Transitions let previously-played voices and effects ring out naturally when you change sounds.
