Korg Multi/Poly Synthesizer Reviews & Demos Roundup


Here’s a roundup of early reviews and demos for the new Korg multi/poly synthesizer, a new synthesizer in their opsix/wavestate format that offers 60-voice polyphony, three types of oscillators, Kaoss Physics, Motion Sequencing 2.0 and more.

Synth guru Ziv Eliraz – In his loopop video, above, – reviews the Korg multi/poly, offering an in-depth look at the new synth, audio demos, and his take on the instrument’s pros and cons. “It sounds great,” notes Eliraz, praising the synth’s synthesis capabilities and sound. On the cons side, he cites the smallish screen, the size of the keyboard and its lack of aftertouch.

The BoBeats doesn’t go quite as deep, but has an extended section demonstrating how to create sounds from scratch on the multi/poly. He recommends the multi/poly for people that really like to dig deep into sound design, but recommends that people that want a more immediate synth look elsewhere.

In the last video, below, sound designer John “Skippy” Lehmkuhl (PlugInGuru) shares his take on the Korg multi/poly, with an emphasis on sound design:

Lehmkuhl is one of the sound designers that created patches for the multi/poly, so his video showcases some of his work, and is probably the best video of the bunch for showcasing the synth’s sound.

He calls the multi/poly ‘a monster’, and praises its sound and capabilities.
