Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
KORG’s Multi/Poly is a 37-key virtual analog synthesizer built around analog modeling synthesis and direct sound-shaping control. Four Layers can combine Programs as layers, velocity splits, or keyboard splits, while Layer Rotate cycles through selected Programs in repeating or random order. Its dedicated oscillator, filter, envelope, LFO, and effects controls keep edits close at hand. Four programmable Mod Knobs, Kaoss Physics, Motion Sequencing 2.0, and extensive modulation routing provide several ways to develop a Performance in real time.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building layered parts, velocity splits, and keyboard splits from four Programs.
- Creating changing phrases with Layer Rotate and Motion Sequencing 2.0.
- Shaping synth parameters in real time with dedicated controls and programmable Mod Knobs.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require half-damper support from the damper input.
- Setups requiring more than 60 voices at the listed maximum polyphony.
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
