Inspired by Korg's legendary Mono/Poly from the 1970s, this synthesizer reimagines that four-oscillator powerhouse as a modern polyphonic beast, blending vintage analog warmth with digital depth for sounds that feel alive and unpredictable.
At its core, each of the 60-voice polyphonic programs packs four digital oscillators—Classic analog models, wavetable, or waveshaper types—routed through dual redesigned filters like MS-20 or SEM styles, four loopable DAHDSR envelopes, five LFOs, and six mod processors, all topped with three per-layer effects from a massive palette including pre-FX like decimators and guitar amps, mod-FX choruses and phasers, plus master reverb and EQ. Hands-on control shines with dedicated front-panel knobs for oscillators, filters, and envelopes, four programmable Mod Knobs, an XY touchpad for Kaoss Physics (a gravity-simulating pad for real-time modulation), Layer Rotate for cycling full programs per key press, and Motion Sequencing 2.0 with multi-lane per-voice sequences that randomize steps or loop points via velocity and more. The 61-key velocity- and release-sensitive keyboard supports poly aftertouch, with MIDI 2.0, USB/SD ports, dual arps, sequencer, and mod matrix in a compact 22 x 13 x 4-inch metal chassis weighing just 7.7 pounds—light enough for gigs, sturdy for the studio.
Players love its organic Virtual Voice Cards that mimic analog drift and phase continuity for thick, evolving pads and leads that "catch" envelopes mid-play, plus smooth transitions between sounds. Common knocks are the learning curve for deep sequencing, but most agree it nails that elusive analog-digital sweet spot.
