The multi/poly is Korg’s all-new digital synthesizer, which provides uncannily accurate, warm, and rich “analog” sounds combined with the versatility of a digital synth.
Developed by KORG R&D in California, the multi/poly is inspired by the legendary KORG Mono/Poly. While adopting some of the features that popularized the original Mono/Poly, the new multi/poly is a completely new synth designed to be the ultimate VA synthesizer. It features a completely new, powerful sound engine that simulates analog feel and sound to a level of detail unparalleled in digital synthesizers or virtual synths.
With a mix of East—and West-coast style oscillators, a wide selection of next-generation modelled filters, innovative functions like Layer Rotation, KAOSS Physics, Motion Sequencing 2.0, and a massive amount of modulation possibilities, multi-poly delivers the ultimate synth experience for all synth fans and musicians.
Features
- A completely newly developed VA sound engine with uncannily accurate, warm and rich analogue sounds and the versatility only a digital synth can provide
- Inspired by Korg's classic Mono/Poly
- Mix-and-match from a broad selection of modelled oscillators, modelled filters, modelled envelopes, and even six modelled portamento types covering vintage to modern)
- Combine classic sounds from the various vintage eras of analog synthesis with new & unusual tones and sound-shaping possibilities. Multi/Poly is more than a clone or generic VA
- Layer rotation: evolution of original Mono/Poly paraphonic mode / inspired by Oberheim Four-Voice (4 independently programmed SEMs controlled by a polyphonic keyboard controller). Cycles through four complete layers, including multiple oscillators, filters, and effects - driven by a powerful arpeggiator.
- Kaoss Physics and Motion Sequencing 2.0, for dynamic, organic modulation
