Korg multi/poly native - reimagined Mono/Poly Synthesizer plugin

[hey212]

These are great.

[ffx]

Mmmh, I really hope for some update with improvements. I made a lot of suggestions, I guess those never reached Korg? Also the hardware requires more complete remote control, just like Korg's opsix, it is currently quite limited.

[hey212]

These are also great.

Mutli/poly sounds like a 90's VA that never existed, with tons of options that probably couldn't have existed back then. I admire it's flavor, but I see it being for someone who is deep in (not me), who would make good use of it's power.

It sounds way, way, way more like an analog synth than any 90s VA.

It's a very accurate prophet emulation for not being a dedicated one. It's nice to have that plus general Korg flavor covered in one synth.

It never existed because we didn’t have the technology to fully emulate an analog synthesizer in the 90s. Some might say we still don’t, but we’re close enough in most cases.

I might have misspoke by saying 90's. I should have said 90's - 00's. The sound of Multi poly reminds me a lot of Roland JP-2000 and Korg MS-2000 lineage, but obviously evolved, rather than anything vintage analog.

It has that VA bright super-saw characteristic in it's DNA. When I hear it I think Korg MS 2000 and Roland JP 8000. I don't hear vintage analog characteristics. It has it's own sound, which I think is good, but that is the heavy leaning I hear.

Vintage doesn't mean dark. Most analog synths are bright as hell if you open the filter all the way. The 70s and early 80s recordings you might have heard them used on might have less highs due to the recording and reproduction technology at the time.

multi/poly does not sound like an MS2000 or JP80x0 any more than any subtractive synth sounds like any other. I used to use both of those synths. Also, the MS2000 (and microkorg) doesn't have supersaws. The VA filters on both of those synths are very 90s VA: harsh when pushed, wonky resonance response across the frequency range, slow response when modulated with an envelope.

They have no similarity to multi/poly, to me. Not any more than any two randomly chosen subtractive synths do. multi/poly also has a bunch of different filter and osc modes with different characteristics.

I'm not saying that vintage means dark. I'm saying that those 90's-00's VA synths have a bright (and thinner) character to them that I hear in Multi Poly which I don't hear in examples of vintage analog synths and emulations of vintage analog synths. For example, Multi Poly and Repro have a very different general character to them.

[Uncle E]

Perhaps it would make more sense to compare it against modern VA's like the Iridium or Kyra? Maybe even the RADIAS?

[EvilDragon]

Not at all.
