General

After the overwhelming success of the polyphonic minilogue, KORG introduces the monophonic monologue synthesizer. It looks a lot like its predecessor, but under the bonnet, it's been fully revamped to offer optimal monophonic possibilities. This fully-analogue synth has an improved filter, modulation section, drive circuit and LFO. The filter ensures extra powerful low tones and the drive circuit places emphasis on the lead sounds like never before. The LFO with One Shot mode produces high frequencies and modulated sounds like you've never heard before. If you want to see as well as hear all the synth mayhem you're creating, there's a built-in OLED display with an oscilloscope.

monologue: anything but boring

For starters, the step sequencer of this ingenious instrument is easy to operate via the motion sequence. On top of that, the monologue is fully-programmable, as well as the aforementioned sequences. If you're a real synthesizer fanatic, chances are you own more than one synth. By means of the available connection options, you can hook the monologue up to your MIDI controllers, pad controllers, sequencers and DAWs. Using Audio Sync, you can easily integrate it into a KORG setup with your volca keys, electribe, minilogue and, naturally, your SQ-1. So, whether you're just getting acquainted with this type of synthesizer or you’re expanding on your current collection, this Dark Blue KORG monologue monophonic synthesizer is nothing short of a must-have!

Voor dit geld krijg je een prachtige monologe synth met 2 oscialatore, kan zelf op batterijen werken, 1 van mijn beste aankopen

Ik ben nog niet zo bekend met synthesizers, dus veel kan ik er nog niet over zeggen (ook omdat ik hem pas niet heb). Het heeft in ieder geval een goed geluid, mooi design, duidelijke knoppen en als je er wat handiger mee wordt ook vrij gevarieerd volgens mij. Ik ben er in ieder geval blij mee, snelle levering ook!

net in huis, prompt geleverd. hulde daarvoor.
waanzinnig veelzijdig en verrassend apparaat, als je een beetje bekend bent met analoge synthese fiets je er zo mee weg.
ondanks zijn beperkingen komt er een breed scala aan geluiden uit, veel acid lijntjes, maar je haalt er ook hele bruikbare leads en bassen uit voor andere genres.
kortom, erg tevreden...
