Introducing the Latest Analog Dream, Powered by Digital Innovation!

The KORG multi/poly: A revolutionary analog modeling synthesizer that honors the legacy of the legendary Mono/Poly while pushing the boundaries of sound design.


Inspired by the iconic Mono/Poly, the multi/poly delivers breathtaking analog sounds with an unparalleled level of digital power and flexibility. Its four stacked oscillators, reminiscent of the original, create a rich sonic tapestry. But the multi/poly goes further, incorporating experimental features like x-mod and sync routing, round-robin oscillator triggering, and more, previously found only in complex modular systems.


Imagine:


A polyphonic modular system in a compact, hands-on package. Experiment with East-coast, West-coast, and wavetable oscillators, combined with a wide array of newly-modeled filters, envelopes, VCAs, and portamento circuits.


Unleash the power of virtual voice cards for organic timbral variations, and experience the innovative Layer Rotate feature, triggering new Programs with each key press.


Dive deep into a world of sound design. Explore Kaoss Physics, Motion Sequencing 2.0, massive modulation options, and more – all at your fingertips.


Dive Deeper into Analog with the Multi/Poly


Experience the next evolution of analog modeling with the Multi/Poly. This powerful synth goes beyond the surface, delivering truly authentic analog sounds through its innovative design.

Virtual Voice Cards:

The Key to Unique Character

Each voice features a unique Virtual Voice Card that simulates the variations found in real analog hardware. Oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, and portamento circuits all exhibit subtle differences, resulting in naturally rich and nuanced timbres. Customize the level of variation for each sound, adding a touch of character or embracing full-blown analog chaos.

More Than Just Sound:

The Power of Sustained Life

Even when voices are silenced, their journey continues. Envelopes evolve organically, allowing new notes to seamlessly join ongoing decays and releases, unlike traditional digital synths that reset from zero. Oscillators and LFOs maintain their phase, while resonance rings true, replicating the dynamic behavior of classic analog synths.


Add a touch of analog "magic" with subtle pitch drift, simulating the inherent imperfections that give vintage hardware its unique sonic signature.

Authenticity in Detail: Envelopes, VCAs, and Portamento

The Multi/Poly captures the soul of analog synths, offering a wealth of carefully modeled parameters.

Envelope Curvature Presets: Choose from iconic analog synth profiles like the Mono/Poly, MS-20, Minimoog, Prophet 5, and ARP Odyssey, each with its own distinctive envelope shape for shaping your sounds.


Modeled VCAs:

Replicate the unique response curves of vintage VCAs, including the Mono/Poly, MS-20, Minimoog, Odyssey, and Prophet 5, as well as a linear option, for precise control over your amp envelope.


Six Portamento Models:

Recapture the elusive portamento effects from your favorite tracks with a choice of six meticulously modelled portamento modes, offering the flexibility of classic analog synths.

With the Multi/Poly, you're not just recreating analog sounds, you're stepping into a world of authentic sonic exploration.


Unfathomable Sounds with the multi/poly's Oscillator Arsenal


The multi/poly's sonic heart beats with four powerful oscillators per program, creating a symphony of thick, complex tones like no other. Each oscillator can tap into three distinct voices:

Classic Oscillators:

Dive into the realm of traditional analog synths with stunning fidelity. Choose from 11 classic waveforms, including single and dual options, to emulate legendary synths that generated multiple waveforms simultaneously. Sculpt your sound with hands-on controls for pulse width, triangle 'lean', dual-waveform blend, and more.

Digital Oscillators:

Explore the world of wavetable synthesis with up to 64-step precision, like vintage hybrid synths and modern eurorack modules. Start with over 200 factory wavetables, or import your own using the Editor/Librarian software. Import modwave wavetables directly, or convert wavetables from popular software formats. Shape your sound further with 30+ Modifiers and 8 Morph Types like Stretch, Flip, and Mirror for real-time processing.


Waveshaper Oscillators:

Embark on a 'West-Coast' sonic journey where simple waveforms are sculpted through shaper tables. Modulate gain into the shaper to create glassy, dynamic harmonics. Choose from over 90 shaper types, including the classic Berkeley shaper for traditional wavefolder timbres. The multi/poly also offers modulatable pulse width, adding another layer of richness and motion.


Beyond the Oscillators:

A dedicated noise generator with filtering and saturation capabilities, plus a ring modulator with inputs from all sources, further expands your sonic palette.


The Power of Sync and X-Mod:

The multi/poly builds upon the original Mono/Poly's potent oscillator sync and x-mod capabilities. Create unique timbres, previously only possible with large modular setups, by syncing or x-modulating oscillators 2, 3, and 4 to Oscillator 1, or split these functions into oscillator pairs with individual control.


Dive into a World of Sonic Exploration with Dual Modeled Filters


M/Poly's filters offer a rich tapestry of sonic possibilities, meticulously crafted to deliver both classic sounds and innovative sonic textures.


Embrace Vintage Excellence...


Five 4-pole self-resonating filters capture the essence of legendary synths:

M/Poly: Delivers the iconic warmth and punch of the Korg Mono/Poly.

Mini: The beloved ladder filter from an American mono-synth, with its signature bass-friendly character.

Pro: Inspired by the first programmable polyphonic synthesizer, featuring powerful resonant sweeps.

Ladder HP & BP: Powerful 4-pole highpass and bandpass filters, ready to carve your sonic landscape.

MS-20 LP & HP: Faithful recreations of the classic Korg MS-20's aggressive timbral signature, providing that unmistakable 12dB/octave self-resonating character.


SE M/P: A gentler 2-pole filter with a continuous control for smooth transitions between lowpass, band reject, and highpass, plus a dedicated bandpass mode.


Expand Your Sonic Palette:

Linear and Resonant Filters: Explore a complete set of 2-pole and 4-pole lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and band reject filters for precision shaping.


Multi Filter:

Korg's unique Multi Filter allows you to blend multiple filter modes simultaneously, offering endless modulation possibilities.


Sculpt with Dynamic Precision...


Audio-Rate Modulation:

Push the boundaries of sonic exploration with ear-catching effects like bright fizzes, bubbling textures, and chaotic timbres. Modulate with oscillators, the ring modulator, and even the noise generator.


Drive Circuit:

Add weight and grit to your sound with a post-filter anti-aliased Drive circuit, ranging from subtle thickening to heavy distortion.


Unleash Creative Flexibility...


Dual Filter Routing:

Combine any two filters in series or parallel for endless creative combinations.

A/B Balance Control: Crossfade between filters for unique effects, using the A/B Balance control for each source.


Stereo Filtering:

Experience immersive sonic landscapes with separate panning for each source.


With M/Poly's dual modeled filters, you have the power to craft timeless sounds and explore sonic landscapes limited only by your imagination.


Each Program begins with a foundation of four oscillators and a noise generator, equipped with ring modulation, sync, and cross-modulation. These raw sounds are then shaped through two independent filters, further sculpted by four loopable DAHDSR envelopes, five LFOs, and six Mod Processors. To add dynamic movement, multi-lane Motion Sequencing 2.0 provides complex per-voice motion. Finally, three studio-quality insert effects allow for fine-tuning and polish.


Layer Rotate: Expand Your Sound Palette
Layer Rotate is a powerful tool for creating unique and layered soundscapes. This multi/poly synthesizer boasts four independent Layers, each capable of housing its own distinct Program. This allows for the creation of complex sonic textures through layered sounds, velocity splits, and keyboard splits.

Inspired by the original Mono/Poly's paraphonic mode, Layer Rotate introduces a dynamic new feature: flexible round-robin Program cycling. Assign different Programs to each of the four Layers and then cycle through them with each key-press. Choose to play them in a repeating sequence or introduce a randomized element for unexpected results. You can even trigger one, two, or three Programs at each step of the cycle.
