Korg multi/poly module, analog-modeling synthesizer for desktop and 19-inch rack

The Korg multi/poly module is the module version of the multi/poly, inspired by the 1980s Mono/Poly synthesizer. It uses Korg's latest generation of analog modeling, which emulates complete voice boards with envelopes and portamento in addition to oscillators and filters. Per sound program, you have 4 oscillators (Classic, Digital and Waveshaper), a noise generator with its own filter and saturation and a ring modulator, plus a dual filter, cross-modulation, four loopable DAHDSR envelopes, five LFOs and six modulation processors.

In a performance, you can combine up to four programs as a layer, split or layer rotate. Motion Sequencing 2.0 and Kaoss Physics with an X/Y touchpad provide lively modulation, and there are three effect blocks, a master reverb and a master EQ. Apart from the pitch bend and modulation wheels, the module has the same controls as the keyboard version. You can place it in a 19-inch rack or on your desk in two orientations; the connections remain accessible even if there is equipment above it. The module supports MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange and free editor/librarian software is available for Mac and PC.
