New Korg: MONOLOGUE ..... analog monosynth for 299

[Daags]

New teaser from KORG ? or just an arbitrary halloweeny clip ? ... if it's a teaser related to the previous one, it seems to be playing in to the idea that we're in for a polysix re-issue, or at least a re-issue of some sort, or at least something with those 'classic vibes' ... anyway the clip is 80's themed, and since it is clearly playing on the recent 'Stranger Things' success it is also worth noting that the band who made the soundtrack for the show, 'S U R V I V E', employed a polysix & monopoly in the studio setup they used for the soundtrack.

You don't need a facebook account to view this video, you can just follow the link:

How about a MonoPolysix? Eh? Eh?

I would like to see korg make a digitally modelled recreation of all their former hit products. I hope that they take all day to make the announcement, and I hope that it actually turns out to be bug fixes/sub features of existing products or a keyboard stand.

Hrrrrmmmmmmmmmeeeehyeah why not. I mean personally I need another monosynth like I need a hole in my head but if I were just starting out it'd be a great option. Like the blue color one.

What do you suppose the bottom option is for the envelope? AR, ASR and, uh...

They also are releasing the Oddesey iOS app (with Gadget support) and KingKorg: Burger King Edition.

Quite dissapointing.

not what I was hoping for, but after checking out the videos I posted ... I think it's a very kool instrument for 299 bucks.

[transmetropolitan]

I doubt I'll get one but I think it looks pretty awesome on the face of it.

€100 cheaper than the Minibrute... Looks a great value.

Its more like the MicroBrute.

A cut down Minilogue really. Not very interesting for me. Should have been an expansion....

A cut down Minilogue really.
