Previously only attainable in large modular systems, the Mono\/Poly delivered these features in a compact, user-friendly instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing the KORG multi\/poly Synthesizer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vj5i8O5aa8k\" height=\"500\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"KORG multi\/poly Synthesizer Overview\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/esPL4O-cJUs\" height=\"500\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdvanced Technologies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNext-Level Analog Modeling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe multi\/poly features redesigned, incredible-sounding filters and oscillators – and its advances in analog modeling go so much deeper. To start with, each voice has a Virtual Voice Card whose oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, and portamento circuits model analog hardware component variations. The result is that each voice has a slightly different character, creating naturally rich timbres. Dial in as much or as little of this variation as you like, separately for each sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust like in an analog synth, voice cards also continue to play even if you're not hearing them. Envelopes keep evolving, so that if you play a pad with a long release time, newly played notes \"catch\" the envelope at its current level instead of restarting from zero. Oscillators and LFOs maintain their phase, and resonance continues to ring. Each oscillator’s pitch can also drift slightly over time, modeling the slight pitch instabilities found in analog hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe multi\/poly includes envelope curvature presets for the Mono\/Poly, MS-20, \"Mini,\" \"Pro,\" ARP Odyssey, and more. Also, analog VCAs don’t respond evenly to voltage, and have different thresholds for turning on and off, which in turn has a strong effect on the Amp Envelope's character. So, the multi\/poly features modeled VCA responses from the Mono\/Poly, MS-20, Mini, Odyssey, and Prophet 5, as well as a linear option. It also features six different portamento models to choose from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOscillators\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe multi\/poly offers FOUR oscillators per Program, for unusually thick, complex tones. Each can use the Classic, Digital, or Waveshaper oscillator types. The Classic oscillator models traditional analog synth oscillators with stunning fidelity and effortless thickness. 11 options include both single and dual waveforms. The Digital oscillator plays wavetables with up to 64 steps, like vintage hybrid synths and modern eurorack modules. Start with over 200 factory wavetables, or load your own. Waveshaper offers a \"West-Coast\" approach, in which simple waveforms are processed through a shaper table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to oscillators 1-4, there's a separate noise generator with dedicated filtering and saturation, and a ring modulator with inputs from all of the above. Create unique sounds with Oscillators 2, 3, and 4 simultaneously following Oscillator 1 for sync, x-mod, or both at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDual Modeled Filters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the multi\/poly's filters are newly redesigned, including an amazing suite of vintage filters with authentic euphonic saturation. There are five different 4-pole self-resonating models (M\/Poly, Mini, Pro, Ladder HP, and BP). The MS-20 LP and HP 12dB\/octave self-resonating \"Korg 35\" filters lovingly recreate the distinctive, aggressive timbral signature of the classic Korg MS-20. The SE M\/P 2-pole filter is more gentle in character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use any two of these filters simultaneously, in series or in parallel. Programs have two filter slots, A and B. Each source, including the four oscillators, noise, and ring Mod, has a balance control which crossfades between the two filters–enabling a wide array of creative options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Dual modeled filters visualization\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.korg.com\/us\/products\/upload\/d89303bbecf2fc078107eb50ea99b2a3_pc.png\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003emulti\/poly Structure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Program starts with four oscillators plus a noise generator, ring mod, sync, and x-mod.

Inspired by the original Mono\/Poly’s paraphonic mode, Layer Rotate adds a new possibility: flexible round-robin for entire Programs. Set up the four Layers with different Programs, and then cycle through them with each key-press. Play them in repeating or random order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMotion Sequencing 2.0 \u0026amp; Kaoss Physics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotion Sequencing 2.0 evolved from the wavestate’s Wave Sequencing 2.0.

Kaoss Physics models a ball rolling on a surface and bouncing off of walls. Start the ball by flicking a finger on the x\/y pad. The position of the ball produces eight modulation signals, which can be used to control any modulation destination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Motion Sequencing 2.0 Interface\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.korg.com\/us\/products\/upload\/93e4aed6d8b25a577c17fec8af2ed316_pc.png\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduction-Ready Effects \u0026amp; Randomization\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Layer has three dedicated effects, plus a send to the Performance's master reverb, followed by a master parametric EQ.
