Korg Prologue

"A 49-key, polyphonic analog polyphonic synthesizer and the 61-key, 16-channel version, which can be described as a "hybrid" synth by integrating a digital motor into the center of its fully analog circuit.

Close cousin of KORG's already famous Minilogue and Monologue, the prologue is a complete and fully programmable polyphonic analog synthesizer. Hormone boosted version, it is distinguished from these predecessors by a keyboard with large keys, a polyphony of 8 or 16 channels (depending on the model) and a new engine
digital sound (the multi-engine) greatly expanding the sound and customization possibilities. As you will understand, the prologue range includes two models: the 8-channel version of 49 keys and the 16-channel version of 61 keys. Let's find out more in detail what lies beneath this beast ...

Analog power

The prologue takes again the powerful analogical circuits which made the strength of its predecessors (Minilogue and Monologue), and thus proposes an incomparable quality of sound as well as an astonishing presence. More than 11000 electronic components have been used for its manufacture! The prologue is composed of 2VCO, 1VCF, 2EG, 1VCA and 1LFO. It also features the famous built-in oscillator allowing you to create unique waveforms to refine your harmonies and create breathtaking sounds. Add to that a bipolar low-pass filter and powerful distortion and you have a powerful analog palette to create deep bass, powerful leads, and the beautiful pads that are expected of a polyphonic synthesizer. Also note that the prologue is bi-timbral, and allows you to play two different programs simultaneously.

Despite its analog power, the prologue retains its ease of use and intuitive interface worthy of the latest KORG synthesizers. You will find on the panel the easy selection of channel modes (POLY, MONO, UNISSON, CHORD ...), the powerful arpeggiator, or the simplified selection (and sortable) of the 500 programs.

The freedom of digital

The ingenuity of the prologue goes beyond its analog design. Indeed, by adding to the original 2 VCOs a third MULTI ENGINE digital oscillator, KORG is exploring new experimental sites. This new engine, adding digital and FM waveforms, can be combined with analog VCOs to extend the sound potential of the prologue far beyond that of a traditional analog synthesizer. The noise generator, the VPM oscillator and the high-quality digital effects (modulation and delay / reverb) bring you complex metallic sounds and harmonics that you never thought possible.

Another novelty, and not least, this new engine MULTI ENGINE offers a USER mode that allows you to load oscillator programs of your own creation (and yes!) You can develop on the dedicated software (available in early spring 2018 ). There are sixteen slots for this parameter.

The KORG Prologue will be presented at NAMM 2018 and will cost between 1500 € (8 voices) and 2000€ (16 voices).
 
kijk, dit gaat de juiste kant op!
ik ben erg benieuwd hoe hij gaat klinken
 
Gaaf,mooie looks ook

dit of een een oude Korg polysix,keuze is snel gemaakt nu.

het heeft even geduurd (jaren) voordat de (grote) fabrikanten echt gingen reageren op de grote vraag naar vintage analoog, maar kolere, want komt er veel uit de laatste jaren.
 
De JD-XA van korg?

Zou 1 channel 1 voice betekenen. want dan is het geen jdxa die heeft maar 1 voice analoog dacht ik.
 
Interessant.
Ik vind ze in ieder geval in esthetisch opzicht heel fraai.

Ik heb weer wat spullen opgeruimd waardoor er in mijn hok en hoofd nog plaats is voor een mooie Polysynth.
De Peak staat hoog op mijn lijstje, maar deze ga ik toch ook in de gaten houden.

De JD-XA heeft vier analoge parts die ook als één vierstemmmig part kan worden gebruikt.
 
Het prijsverschil met de Minilogue is wel enorm. Je krijgt hier een digitale osc erbij, maar nog steeds maar 1 LFO?

De vergelijking met een Polysix snap ik niet echt, die klinkt echt compleet anders dan een Minilogue.
 
Wat een beauty! Al mag is die enkele LFO wel een beetje 'liever niet.' Dubbele aantal voices ten opzichte van de Minilogue, toevoeging digitale OSC, klinkt leuk maar is best wel stevig meer dan de Minilogue. Terwijl ik de Minilogue al goed vind klinken.
 
Iemand die weet hoe een synth te kneden, mooi ding. (ik vraag verdubbeling van het vakantiegeld aan)
