Monologue, with its new filter, modulations, drive and LFO, can generate deep basses and sharp leads, monophonic sounds that will show the versatility and power of its newly designed single-voice engine with a sound character that will have nothing to envy to the most modern synths. The step sequencer has also been enhanced, introducing more intuitive and at the same time more detailed editing. The monologue team consists of 5 different colors to please not only the ears, but also the eyes of musicians most attentive to aesthetics, who can choose the color that best suits them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrengths\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul style=\"margin-left: 17px;\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog synthesizer with a newly designed synthesis structure optimized for monophonic sounds and sequences\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully programmable, with 100 program memories (80 ready-to-use presets)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16-step sequencer with motion function for parameter automation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrotuning for creating custom scales and keys\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOscilloscope for real-time waveform display\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery-powered for extreme portability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElegant and robust aluminum top plate, rubber-coated potentiometers, wooden rear panel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMIDI, USB MIDI, and Audio Sync for any connectivity need in the studio and live, including direct synchronization with minilogue, SQ1, volca, electribe, etc.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 attractive colors to stand out in the studio and live\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRedesigned monophonic analog circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe monologue is based on the same monophonic analog circuit used in the minilogue, but this does not mean that the monologue is a trivial subordinate monophonic version of its bigger brother, on the contrary... From the very first note emitted, the monologue makes its power felt with a signal punch resulting from the redesigned envelope section coupled with a renewed modulation routing and a filter that respects and enhances the lower frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe structure is far from complex, as it consists of 2VCO, 1VCF, 1EG, 1 VCA and 1LFO. In addition to what was already available in the minilogue, therefore to parameters and functions such as wave shaping for varying the harmonics of the oscillator and the sync\/ring switch, the filtering section uses a two-pole filter to give more body to the lows. New is the Drive circuit which introduces harmonic distortion capable of giving more power to the basses and making the leads more incisive. The LFO can be adjusted to a significantly high speed compared to usual, this helps to generate extremely particular sounds, or set in one-shot mode to operate as a kind of additional envelope. The keyboard features slim keys already known because they are used in the minilogue and MS-20mini. To adapt to any musician, the keyboard extension covers 2 octaves from E to E, like a guitar or bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully programmable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMonologue goes beyond classic analog synths in the same price range and provides 100 program memories. Select one of the programs and start your sound experience immediately. From the most incisive basses to the most enveloping subs, from brilliant and pungent leads to percussive sequences. All without necessarily being a connoisseur of sound synthesis: choose a program and intervene on the parameters, a workflow familiar to all musicians today. Of the 100 Programs that the monologue is equipped with, 80 are preset sounds and sequences programmed by creative artists from all over the world, including \u003cem\u003eAphex Twin\u003c\/em\u003e, while the remaining 20 are available to save the sounds and their respective sequences that you will generate yourself. In addition, through the soon-to-be-released Sound Librarian software you can organize all Programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16-step sequencer for evolving sequences\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe monologue's step sequencer has been significantly enhanced to provide greater musicality and manage more complex rhythms, yet simpler to record, view, and edit. It supports both real-time recording with overdub function, and step recording through which you can program the sequence by pressing the notes that will compose it in succession, as well as direct manual programming on the 16 step buttons, which can also be performed in real time to add an extra touch to your live performances. The motion sequence function allows you to record the movements of 4 potentiometers, i.e., the automations of the respective parameters both continuously, as in previous models, and in the new step mode, which will allow you to create different sounds for each step, giving life to real rhythmic patterns based on a single Program. With the Key Trigger function you can play the sequence while holding down a note and transpose it by successively pressing other keys on the keyboard. Another new function is the slide, very useful for bass sequences as it allows you to specify portamento for each individual step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrotuning: create your scales with absolute freedom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusic has long been restricted to tempered scales, and even now few instruments support microtuning. monologue has a set of pre-set scales and 12 user memories, all compatible with 3-byte MIDI Tuning Standard messages. The power of microtonal music can be appreciated in Aphex Twin's productions, who was part of the monologue production team and provided some of the preset scales, sounds, and sequences. All users should experiment not only by using the scales programmed by Aphex Twin, but by creating their own with absolute freedom, discovering the various frequency intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith the Oscilloscope you can keep an eye on the sound and the sequence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe OLED display shows you the waveform in real time, as you have sculpted it. The visual feedback, a Korg first for hardware synthesizers, not only has a mere aesthetic and entertainment function, but shows you how the created sound behaves, thus also educational. Monologue also displays the values of the automations of the 4 Motion Sequence parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery-powered analog\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe style, the aluminum top panel and the wood in the rear section of the instrument are a clear and direct reference to the minilogue, but everything has been optimized to exploit the power of a monophonic instrument. Despite the use of robust materials, monologue is compact and weighs only 1.7KG for an unprecedented combination of portability and durability. In addition, another point in its favor compared to other analog synths in its price range, monologue can run on batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSync it with Audio Sync\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to DIN 5-pin MIDI In and Out and USB MIDI connections, monologue offers Audio Sync connectivity for synchronization with other KORG instruments from the volca, electribe, minilogue series and with SQ-1. You can connect monologue to your DAW software and use it as a USB MIDI controller and\/or as a synthesizer.
