Well, at least you could still play a trill.  ;D

Haha. Just look how portable they made it too :-)

Yet, there are no signs of those five stripes, so there must be more to come from Korg.

I'd love to see the video that I thought would be so obvious - the side-by-side comparison of these two synthesizers.  I'd like to here the Monopoly's analog sound compared with the Pro 2's digital emulation.

I assume that the verdict would be that the Pro 2 still sounds more modern. But I don't own a MonoPoly, otherwise I'd be up for it. And I think Marc Doty doesn't have his MonoPoly anymore, so that's not an option either. I guess the main problem to get something like this arranged is that both synths may attract very different users.

But is it polyphonic?  :D

I believe that's fake. I mean not only is the joystick ridiculous at this size, but also the length of the microphone. The delays make also no sense at all.

True 3-voice polyphony and much to David Guetta's delight: no power connection he has to worry about not plugging in.

Are you kidding me?  Something fake, unreliable, or incorrect on the Internet?  What, are you some sort of reactionary conspiratorial nut?!  ::)

You may be right.

A module version of the Polysix would be cool... I really loved the sound of that thing when I had it.. but if they do, I hope they would begin to develop beyond the original features of their recreations... we live in an age, where people actualy use computers with their hardware gear. A Poly8 (at least), with a modulation matrix, and full MIDI support would be interresting, especially if they can get the SSM filters right.
If you need me, follow the shadows...

A Wavestation with analog filters would also be cool... but I do not believe in it, unless it's Dave doing it... if it comes from KORG, I'll bet it would be 100% digital... not that I would mind that if it's engine was greatly enhanced with sample support.

Plus I'll buy anything in red  ;)

Yeah, me too. I paid $50 extra to get my Little Phatty in red.

I'm pro-Polysix. I had a Polysix back in the 90s; its conductive rubber on the keyboard was pretty shot, and it was spectacularly out of tune. But it sounded great, and had a fun arpeggiator. I traded a TX81Z for it, straight up.

At this point, I think we just need to be resigned to mini keys from Korg. It's their thing now.

Well my studio is getting crowded, and let's be honest I'm not that into parting with gear so mini keys it has to be! That's why I bought an A49 from Roland.

You can't imagine how many times I've wanted to paint all my synths red...

As for volcas, I'm dying for them to make a chiptunes one that switches between Sid, snes and Commodore 64. Arpeggiator of course.

I think the minilogue was a brave move to make something new instead of recreating an old hit, and improving on that would seem logical.

New video on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KORGusa/videos/10153938365061080/

So it's definitely a synth…

Sp Mono/poly or polySix reissue, or more likely a larger Minilogue?

Can be any of those, really. Although the recording sounds to me more like a two oscillator machine. Either way, we'll know more tomorrow.

That was quite nice that was. I liked the bass and the detuned sound towards the end in particular.

It definitely has a nice bottom end.
