Korg Multi/Poly

Korg multi/poly – Analog-Modeling Synthesizer with Modular DNA

The Korg multi/poly pays homage to the iconic Mono/Poly by delivering rich, analog-inspired timbres wrapped in modern digital flexibility. It merges multiple oscillator types, next-level filters, expressive modulation, and real-time performance tools into a compact, hands-on instrument—perfect for adventurous sound designers and synth purists alike.

Key Features

• Four oscillators per program: Choose from Classic analog-style, Digital wavetable, or Waveshaper—plus noise generator and ring modulator—for deep sound layering.
• Dual redesigned filters: Includes five vintage-style 4-pole models and the MS-20 filter, with a novel Multi Filter to blend modes for evolving tones.
• Virtual Voice Cards: Each voice features unique component-level modeling—oscillators, filters, envelopes—to produce lively organic variation.
• Motion Sequencing 2.0: Per-voice sequencing with lanes for Timing, Pitch, Shape, and Step, complete with step probabilities and looping for unpredictable grooves.
• Kaoss Physics: Interactive, physics-driven modulation via touch, enabling playful performance control and generative movement.
• Layer Rotate & stacking: Stack up to four programs with reverb and EQ, and rotate layers per note for evolving textures.

Customer Benefits

Whether you’re designing complex textures, driving arpeggios, or crafting cinematic motion, the multi/poly offers unmatched creative freedom. Its modular-rooted features and expressive programming engines bring flexibility, warmth, and spontaneity to any studio setup—crafted with performance in mind.
