I know it's 3 years later but you made my choice much easier: Korg Monologue. I was trying to choose between this and Bass Station, but for my budget Korg will be more than enough, due to the way how sequencer works in this synth. This is what I want, this is what I'll get :-)
@jasonmoyer6 жыл бұрын
I dunno if someone's mentioned it in the comments, but one nice thing you can do with the motion sequencer on the monologue but not the minilogue is editing parameters for each step. If you hold down one or more step buttons while in motion record mode, you can turn a knob/flip a switch/etc and it will save that parameter for those steps. Which makes it a lot easier to do things like percussion and whatever.

*addictive to explore in general. That said, I find "straightforward" sequencers useful for sound design and I get more out of this one than most.

To complete a sequence, either enter 16 notes and it will auto save after the last entered note, or if you’re entering less than 16 notes press record once done and it will save that sequence. But to save the whole program as a whole, press write twice to save.

One thing about the Monologue sequencer that is lacking is that it has no 'velocity' level. I can get a really good 'I feel love' sequence but without velocity it isn't quite right. It's a great all round synth though. When you spend a bit of time with it you soon learn how to emulate sounds. It becomes instinctive. like if you want a church bell, you know how to get it. I love the fact it runs on batteries and is small enough to put in a laptop bag. Great for when you have to visit the mother in law for a weekend.

Although the FM(which is the second in the chain) is running at the same tempo as the Volca Drum, the monologue(which is at the end of the chain) seems to be running at half the speed of the volca's. The step resolution is set to 1/16 so that cant be the problem. Messed around with the bpm, didn't work as well. Please help! I want to make some crazy stuff and this is just too slow!

Nice job Marc - as usual! One thing I don't like about the Monologue (about the only thing) is that when you are in Key Trig/Hold mode, every time you hit a key the sequence resets to the first note. It makes it difficult to get exact transitions every time. It would be nice if it didn't change the transposition of the sequence until it played through the current sequence transposition. Maybe Korg can update that.

True but I want it trigger "properly" when using the keyboard. The re-trigger mode has its uses but I would also like it to change "on the one" or whenever I press a key without going back to the first step like it does now.
