The KORG Multi/Poly synthesizer

edited October 24 in Hardware

GAS.

But then again, what can’t I do with my iPad? Looks nice though, with the retro blue and wooden sides.

  • Looks and sounds good. But I wonder what makes this preferable over the Modwave.

  • so looks like Mono Poly on steroids

    So basically a grand for a vst in a box. I think I’ll pass.

  • Yeah, I like my software synths. Should I ever come into some serious free cash, I'd love to buy some hardware. But not too many.

  • From the youtubes I've watched so far, seems like a slightly better body build - metal top plate like the Minilogue and some are saying better keybed, although no aftertouch again!

    From what I've heard, it sounds better imo than the Modwave. Some of the sounds have been really nice even on YouTube.

    Wonder if they will make a module version one day?

    Odd choice from Korg, as although I like it, Korg are seemingly stepping on their own toes, as I can see this cutting into the sales of the Modwave and even the Wavestate to some degree.

  • Mmmm…nop

  • Unnecessary rehashing. Meh. Whereas Wavestate and Opsix are gamechangers, this seems like they don't have new ideas.

    I just saw loopop’s review…There’s plenty new on this one..Wavetable, etc…All kinds of routing…It’s not a “hardware version of Mono/Poly………I wouldn’t pay a grand for it but it’s “really nice” as Leo would say..

  • With iMono/Poly and other Korg apps including Gadget 3, there really isn't a need for this synth (unless you're a hardware enthusiast).

    Metal top plate like in Wavestate and Modwave?

    From what I've heard, it sounds better imo than the Modwave. Some of the sounds have been really nice even on YouTube.

    Of course they had to make new and great presets in order to sell it. While oversampling can definitely make an audible difference, I wonder which of these sounds cannot be done on the Modwave and how big that difference really is in the end.
    Certainly worth checking out, looking at the Prologue...

    Odd choice from Korg, as although I like it, Korg are seemingly stepping on their own toes, as I can see this cutting into the sales of the Modwave and even the Wavestate to some degree.

    There are always people who love new gear and for those who own neither of them, it might be an option - at least if they don't need sample memory like in the other family members.

    Fair enough if you know for sure the older models have metal top plates. They sure look plastic and the Multi sure looks different, but if you are right then fair enough.

    I'm sure some like the Modwave presets and sure they made them to sell it. To be honest the Multi sounds way better to me, but it's all personal preference.

    Yes more suitable to those without the prior models, as it has borrowed much from them, but it does have differences that are very interesting like the round Robin layers.

    I'm not a big fan of Korgs output of late. Much of it has been uninteresting and overpriced imo. This however is of interest to me. It borrows many of the best bits of the former models and adds just enough to make the whole interesting, again imo obviously.

    If people don't buy it then fine, in some time Korg will sell them off cheap and I get a bargain - yay!

    Have you tried the Prologue yet? I admit that while I like my Minilogue XD, I don't love it - not sure how the Prologue equates to it? My Minilogue lacks in certain areas of the sound and I end up using some iPad sounds just to beef it up a bit, as I play it over backing tracks I make on my iPad and sequence from my SP404mk2.

    Let me know if you get to try a Prologue. I really don't think it compares to the Multipoly, as that's more about an amalgamation of their digital tech imo, although they are trying to sell it with analog comparisons - which may backfire.

    Yes I did, together with different modern Prophets and the Oberheim OB-6.
    Design-wise, I preferred the Prophets and the OB-6 but to my great surprise, only the Prologue instantly delivered that "analog" (warm, fat, organic, full) sound that I actually expected to hear from the OB-6 in the first place. I didn't expect that at all, and I know from other gear what difference oversampling and a few tweaks in DSP filter design can make.

    So yes, I would now love to play Prologue and Multi/Poly side by side ... and hope I won't prefer the Multi/Poly then want it to be a 5..6 octave keyboard and then wait again :D

    Of course, that would only make sense with fairly simple sounds using comparable oscillators and filters in both.
    No doubt the Multi/Poly has a more diverse sound engine.

    Ther,e is a video somewhere of what you can do with the round Robin layers - takes it into far different territory, which to be honest it already is with the other features pinched from the Wavestate and Modwave. Not dissing the Modwave, but not heard much I like, sounds harsh to my ears, where as some of the Multipoly sounds are quite pleasant to my ears. I'm not saying you can't get the same on both. I'm not saying it's that different and I'm definitely not saying it sounds analog, but I've heard far more sounds so far that I like and that's always important.

    I have owned one nice Analog Poly Synth and it was great because every individual sound module could become it's own voice. Yes, a truly multitimberal analog poly! Guess which one lol

    Moog Modular? Eurorack? Oberheim 4-Voice?
    I only had the original Mono/Poly which was a lot more limited.

    Not to rely on presets, but I love having lots of great ones to start with.

    Alesis Andromeda - best synth I've ever owned. My Waldorf XTK is a close second, as I couldn't afford a Waldorf Wave.

  • Software will always be superior in functionality. Hardware is only for portability, reliability and tactile feel.
    This mantra cures all my hardware GAS.

  • @Fruitbat1919 Nice! I never had the chance to play an Andromeda, but I've heard people loving it.

    Yes, wonderful synth. I was homeless at the time so selling all my gear was the least of my worries, but I still miss that synth!
