KORG MONOLOGUEBK (Black) / MONOLOGUEBL (Blue) / MONOLOGUESV (Silver) Monophonic Analog Synthesizer with Presets
The Monologue made by Korg comes in different color variants: MONOLOGUEBK (Black), MONOLOGUEBL (Blue) and MONOLOGUESV (Silver). It is a professionally designed monophonic all-analog synthesizer that comes with a fully programmable single-voice architecture and 100 fully editable presets, built to be well suited for musicians and analog enthusiasts. Building upon the success of the Minilogue Polyphonic Synthesizer, Korg reworked the knob-per-function layout, voicing, and sound-sculpting abilities for creating a distinctive-sounding instrument for all types of musicians and sound designers.
The synth is offering two VCOs and a redesigned filter along with a powerful low-end punch. A drive circuit has been added to be able to apply aggressive overtones and distortion to the sound intended for huge bass sounds and sharp lead tones. The LFO rate are possible to be adjusted into an unprecedentedly ultra-high-speed range for generating crazy space-shattering sounds, or it is possible to be switched to one-shot mode to act as an additional envelope. The OLED display is made for offering parameter information and comes featuring a real-time oscilloscope, which provides an eye-catching visual feedback on the sound being played. A 16-step sequencer not only records notes, but motion sequences of knob movements as well.
The Monologue comes along with a set of factory tuning as well as 12 user slots intended for creating custom microtunings. Aphex Twin has come onboard as an advisor for the implementation and also for offering scales, sounds, and sequences as part of the factory presets. The enclosure is created from a curved aluminum panel, populated by chassis-mounted metal shaft pots that comes along with rubber-coated knobs, and a solid pyinkado-wood rear panel. Programming is a breeze along with a single-knob-per-function architecture that is possible to satisfy seasoned synth professionals and beginner programmers. The Monologue ships with six AA batteries and can be powered by an optional 9 VDC power supply.
