KORG multi/poly Synthesizer Overview

The KORG multi/poly synthesizer, inspired by the legendary Mono/Poly, blends the rich, classic warmth of analog sound with cutting-edge digital flexibility. Powered by KORG's next-generation analog modeling technology, it offers a unique mix-and-match multi-synthesis approach, allowing you to combine parameters from classic analog synths like oscillators, filters, envelopes, and portamentos, providing endless creative possibilities for sound designers and musicians alike.

Its Virtual Voice Cards recreate the nuanced characteristics of analog synths, such as Pitch Drift, while advanced modulation options like Layer Rotate (round-robin with Programs), Kaoss Physics (pad gestures for modulation), and Motion Sequencing 2.0 (complex per-voice motion with multi-lanes) enable deep, immersive sound design. Building on the legacy of the Mono/Poly, the multi/poly delivers big, dynamic sounds with modular-derived experimental features, offering an unmatched sound experience that bridges the best of vintage and modern synthesis, pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration.

4 LAYERS 🤯 Many concepts can be explored this way. Thanks for the overview 🙌🏼 Sounds incredible actually.

[jumpstar]

I just got one today finally. Wow. It's incredible and unbelievably deep. Amazing stuff. I couldn't be happier.

[soulfulandnice]

A synth we can get lost in creation with for hours. I'd love to play with it!😃

[insidestraight]

The presenter is a great ambassador for Korg, always enjoy how she explains everything.

[WoodyPianoShack]

amazing synth, congrats korg, and a delightful presenter. if only i dared to do my nails like that!

[sonicocr]

really like it!... I love VA engines and this one brings something special with nice digital RAW oscillators. Reminds me of the KORG RADIAS workflow and style.... Very unexpected. Good job Korg.

Gorgeous, I hope we eventually get a big one

[jonathanwingmusic]

I'm blown away by how many features this synth has and how deep it goes, especially for the price point! 4 oscs, 2 separate filters (with many to select from), 4 envelopes, 6 LFOs, kaoss pad and all kinds of other bells and whistles (I love that even the VCAs have customizable modelled envelopes). It sounds great which does not surprise me – I've been a happy owner of the Minologue XD for years and I love it. But it has a lot of limitations with modulation (1 LFO, filter EG with only A&D). This is tempting me to sell the MXD and move on up to this... 😅

The drives in the VCA is what I’m hyped for!

[Wagoo]

Waiting for the rack compatible desktop module 🤘

[jaypaulauskas]

Just ordered instead of the Oberheim TEO 5. First synth and hope I choose properly. Oh I’m 78 years old and only played the piano.

[carstenaltena]

In the original Mono/Poly's, each step of the arpeggiator triggers a different oscillator. I love that effect. Can the Multi/Poly do that as well? Love the design of this new synth!

[russellwiitala]

I really love my micro station, but wow, do I want this. ❤

[TheArtisticFlavor]

This looks like an interesting synth, and it sounds very good in the demos. But I would also love to see Korg bring back the original Mono/Poly, like they have done with the MS20, Arp Odyssey, and Arp 2600. That would be an instant buy for me.

[rohosynth]

Excellent synth and presentation, Korg!!!

[TracknJoy]

the balance of your voice and the demo are so sick!

[frank]

I hope i can get this for xmas this year

At around 2 40 the advertisers of the mid 80's made analogue instability a down point focusing on the crisp bright fm of the dx dx9 was in my price now it's back in all it's unstable parameters🎶🎶🏆

[unclemick-synths]

Module would be interesting - I don't mind the keyboard but I just don't need another.

[theaudioeng]

Would have loved a few oscillators only NO FX patches to be able to really hear & judge the VA emulation. Most digital synths (non-VA) emulating analogue vintage sound great with a little FX .... just my honest take. Sounds amazing regardless though and post-Wavestate HW which I still have, only smaller format new synth I'm interested in. Good effort Korg R&D team 😎👍🎹🎵🏆✨️
