One of the most unusual and desired monophonic synths.

Korg Mono/Poly has always both attracted and puzzled the prospective owners. It’s still quite common to come across various myths surrounding this great instrument. But there is no rocket science, really. This is simply a very, very well specified monosynth with some polyphonic capabilites.

A few things to remember, though:

– It has four oscillators but do not bother trying to figure out whether this makes the Mono/Poly ‘better’ than a Minimoog. They are apples and oranges. As different as it gets.

– The effects section is not effects in the common sense (chorus, phaser, delay, etc.). they are in fact a modulation section, offering various types of oscillator sync anc corss modulation.

Contrary to what some may say, we find the M/P quite easy to use. Definitely intuitive. The Tubbutec upgrade takes a few days to understand and master but it is an absolute must: very reliable and very clever.

But in simple terms, this is an absolutely excellent upgrade that will, of course, give you MIDI IN & OUT but also additional poly modes (3 voice with 2 oscillators per note and 2 voice with 3 oscillators per note), so called “Powerarp” that is a simple but very useful sequencer, S/H (random) LFO mode for filter and an additional, very fast LFO for filter, “Polychord” wchi is chord memory on steroids (each key of the keyboard can store a different chord in this mode) and many more. It’s really brilliant.

One more thing: it’s really stable. Believe us, not all upgrades are.
