Korg Multi/Poly First Look: Setup, Firmware Upgrade, and Presets

[@weddy5700]

I wasn’t expecting you to make an update so rapidly! Grabbing a beer now and watching it!

[@IanDixonTDL]

Thanks!

[@alteregothehi-qs5774]

Enjoy this one! Looking forward to be seeing your sounds!!!

[@IanDixonTDL]

Coming soon!

[@andybond5002]

I'm happy you got one, that means soon there will be amazing soundpacks YAY :))))

[@IanDixonTDL]

I hope so!

[@chriswright8345]

Sounds good! Here's hoping Korg comes out with a module version.

[@IanDixonTDL]

I think they will.

[@lawrencelougheed]

Hoping Korg will release a module desktop version …

[@IanDixonTDL]

I think they will in time

[@lawrencelougheed]

@@IanDixonTDL I hope so. I have the Wavestate module, paired with Roland A-88 MKII . . . my thinking is to swap out modules . . . way easier than swapping gears and coping with the limited space in my studio . . . loving the Wavestate, but scheming for additions in the future . . .

I'm happy you got one, that means soon there will be amazing soundpacks for tree....Yeah :))))))

[@Shenmue79]

So glad you got one!

[@IanDixonTDL]

so am I!

[@keytronek]

Just got mine and after skimming through the programs, the potential is mind boggling! After being disappointed with my KingKORG NEO purchase (what happened Korg?), the multi/poly has restored my faith in Korg. I'll be looking forward to your custom programming.

[@jackcimino8822]

KingKORG was made by KORG Japan. Multi/Poly was made by KORG R&D in America.

[@keytronek]

@@jackcimino8822 And obviously no coordination between the two with program sound development.

[@IanDixonTDL]

Yes, I think R&D has all the cool stuff at the moment

[@garyholden8469]

Great first impressions Ian, I actually liked that you did this before a deep dive. Definitely hear some great TD sounds in there and looking forward to the comparison with the Modwave. Was the keybed much different to the previous synths? It’s supposedly semi weighted.

[@IanDixonTDL]

Thanks! The keyboard is better than the Modwave, it feels a lot firmer to use.

[@weddy5700]

@@garyholden8469 yes, a modwave comparison would be great 🙂

[@AntonMochalin]

Quite informative for first impressions, could be called a whole review on some channels. What do you think about those Pro and SEM filter models, don't they sound a bit too smooth compared to what they "were inspired by"? I also wonder what you'd do with two filters, tried some dual filter synths, it's interesting but still not sure what kinds of sounds dual filter architecture would be really good for. Made some pads but they don't sound very special compared to what I could do with a single filter.

[@IanDixonTDL]

I am still getting used to the filters but I think you can make use of dual filters with LFO and motion sequencer switching or fading between them.

This unit has 6.3gb storage available. It's absolute tons for just wavetables... right? I think Korg left an option possible to introduce sample import in the future ... or what else? There must be a reason to implement this much storage from the start...

[@IanDixonTDL]

I think the memory is standard on these Raspberry Pi powered devices. You are right it could fit a lot of wavetables in it.

[@oblitafier]

DisapSilver bolts in the faceplate instead of black. Why Korg, why?pointed to see the sil

[@jamesmacleod671]

Happy to see you with a new Korg synth and can't wait to see what sounds you can come up with. From what I've heard it does sound very impressive. I plan to buy one also.🎵

[@IanDixonTDL]

I will be working on many sound packs!

[@HARJEN-we4gg]

........and the modwaver and wavestater will be fogotten 😢😢😢

[@IanDixonTDL]

@@HARJEN-we4gg no chance of that
