Korg Monologue Silver Reviews

A wonderfull little instrument on the road or...

in the hospital. Unfortunately I got ill and had to stay at hospital for a while. The Korg Monologue brightened up my days there!

I even could create nice short jingles and teasers for our T-Rock radio station :)

KORG rules!

Analogue predator

Use:

I bought this synth mainly to have a proper bass mono synth with user friendly editability. For this reason it really fulfilled my expectations and its sound potential is capable far beyond.

Since the editability (microtuning, motion sequencing on 4 parameters, slider?s parameter editability) is quite unique, this synth gives you an opportunity to sound little like Aphex Twin do. This synth definitely contain a small portion of Richard?s music genius/soul. Presets are really usable and anyone can super easily change them to own taste (parameter or melody change).

Clarity:

Sounds are clear for whole sound spectrum (basses, leads + sequences) Leads are crispy.. basses are really juicy and loud. The low-end is really deep and some bass presets totally fill the whole room while lush basslines on whole low octaves scale.

Motion sequencing just make the groove unbelievably aggressive.

I use this synth as a sequencer for other synths to force them a little Aphex feel.

The maschine just pushes me to be creative and try out always new and new combinations.

This synth is definitely an analogue predator. :)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED INSTRUMENT.

Pros:

- powerfull agressive analog sound + drive,

- audio in,

- Aphex Twin?s soul,

- battery powered - transportability,

- ultrafast LFO, ...

Cons:

- only 16 step sequencer,

- tempo sync cant be applied (change of presets changes also the set tempo),
