Korg Multi/Poly Module Synthesizer

A True Classic – Reborn
Introducing the new analog modeling synthesizer Multi/Poly, inspired by the legendary Korg Mono/Poly. It brings breathtaking analog sounds combined with exceptional digital performance and versatility. The Multi/Poly module is now available in a compact 19" desktop/rack unit, featuring MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange support and poly aftertouch – making it an excellent complement to the Korg Keystage controller. It is fully compatible with native Multi/Poly software as well as an expanding range of third‑party libraries, ensuring fresh, updated sounds. The new 19" rack‑mount chassis features the same controls as the keyboard model, yet remains portable and integrates elegantly into any studio or desktop production system.

Analog Modeling Reimagined
Multi/Poly offers reworked, incredibly detailed filters and oscillators that push analog modeling to a new level. Each voice includes a virtual voice card where oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, and portamento circuits are modeled to mirror the variations found in analog hardware. This allows each voice to possess a slightly unique character, creating rich and naturally evolving timbres. Envelopes evolve naturally – if a long pad is played with extended release, new notes capture the current state of the envelope instead of restarting. Oscillators and LFOs retain their phase while resonance continues to build, and pitch drift mimics the subtle instability of true analog hardware.

Inspired by the Classics
Multi/Poly also includes envelope curves inspired by classic synthesizers such as Mono/Poly, MS‑20, ARP Odyssey, and Prophet 5. The analog VCAs behave differently depending on voltage, with varying thresholds for activation and deactivation, which strongly influences the character of the amp envelope. Multi/Poly models VCA responses from Mono/Poly, MS‑20, Prophet 5, Mini, Odyssey, and others, along with a linear variant.

MIDI 2.0 and Polyphonic Aftertouch
All Multi/Poly models, both hardware and software, support MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange and offer easy access to polyphonic aftertouch, making them an excellent partner for the Korg Keystage controller.

Rack‑Mount & Desktop Compatibility
The Multi/Poly module is intelligently designed for both desktop use and rack mounting. The front panel has been redesigned to fit a standard 19" width, and the recessed rear panel with connectors ensures easy cable access even when the unit is mounted. In desktop setups, adjustable brackets allow for different panel angles – flatter for standing performance or more upright for seated studio work.
