Imagine a polysynth that traces its analog roots straight back to Korg's beloved minilogue family, but steps up with 16 voices of pure hybrid power—no more voice-stealing worries during those epic chord stabs.
This 61-key beast packs three oscillators per voice: two analog VCOs for warm, classic subtractive tones, plus a digital Multi Engine that unleashes noise generators, VPM synthesis, or even user-loaded custom oscillators via free SDK. Dual filters (lowpass and highpass, 12dB/octave) shape the sound, fed by two envelopes and a versatile LFO, with bi-timbral layering, splitting, crossfading, and modes like Poly, Mono, Unison, and Chord for everything from lush pads to massive supersaws. Hands-on controls include pitch/mod wheels, portamento and voice spread knobs, plus a real-time OLED oscilloscope to visualize your tweaks; stereo outs, headphones, MIDI I/O, CV/Gate, and polyphonic aftertouch seal the deal on its sturdy aluminum-and-wood frame (874x348x118mm, 9.1kg). DSP effects like reverb, delay, chorus, and a low-frequency compressor add polish without stealing the analog soul.
Players love its intuitive workflow and boundless sound design—pads shimmer with nuance, leads cut through mixes, and the arp (six modes including poly-random) sparks jams. Sure, some wish for more sequencer depth, but the 500 programs (250 factory) and program sort options keep inspiration flowing endlessly.
