Unrelated to paint schemes, I think having a microtuning / save-your-custom-scales (as long as they're 12 notes or less?) feature on a monophonic synth is totally some marketing bullshit so they could brag about partying with AFX. I had some gear that allowed microtuning way back in the day, and it basically existed as a feature to make that instrument totally incompatible with everything else in an arrangement. Also, IIRC, it's a lot less difficult to microtune when you can hold more than one tone at a time. So yeah Korg *makes WTF gesture with hands, SMDH*

2017, how bad could it be? (snoball), Tuesday, 31 January 2017 19:47 (seven years ago) link

one year passes...

Silver looks nice with the wood, but then you start to wonder if it will get worn out like a dingy old laptop. Just ordered blue, so I'm glad to see I'm in good company here. This will be my first synth! Does this mean everybody will go back to guitars now?

Also, red synth for me =

Or an old boombox. But isn't the finish on the Monologue paint on metal so therefore less likely to come off?

Also if they made a desktop/rackmount version I'd buy one immediately. I know that someone's done a mod to remove the keys and rework the case, but they used a milled aluminium plate to cover the gap, which I didn't like the look of.

Or at least a 3 octave C-C mini key version. That 2 octave E-E looks weird and I have no idea why Korg made that decision over 2 octave C-C.

To make monologue a synth that any musician can immediately pick up and play, the keyboard covers the E–E range of notes - just like a guitar or bass.

As a guitar/bass player, this sounds totally stupid but everything else about it worked for me. I just figured I could use a midi controller if I needed a different range.
