korg multi/poly Analog Modeling Synthesizer Review

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.

Do I need one? no. Have I ever used one? No. Am I ordering one? Yes. Sorry kids, Santa didn't come this year.

Solid !!! Does it have a drive or some, don't see it in the panel ...

Nice, looking forward to see your perspective on using move.

Who designed the factory Sounds banks on this synth? One of the best patches I have ever heard.

But seriously, how do you like it compared to the Gaia 2?

"Amazing analog sounds that only digital can provide" this really doesn't make sense at all !

I don't understand...why make analog modeling when Korg already has the Minilogue XD analogue engine? Just put in 4 more analogue circuits, to have 8 voices. I don't accept a Raspberry P (a cheap general purpose processor) as a legitime "sound engine", lol. I mean, I would have loved to have a Minilogue 2 in this same chassi and layout but with real analogue circuits. (4 pieces in the XD)
Great demo though, thanks!
