KORG PROLOGUE-8 Analog synthesizer with 49 keys

prologue is a fully-programmable, full-featured, professional synthesizer. Preceded by the four-voice polyphonic minilogue and the monophonic monologue, it’s the long awaited debut of the flagship: the prologue.

prologue is a polyphonic analog synthesizer equipped with a full-sized keyboard. With powerful analog circuits that are descended directly from the earlier models of the series, together with a newly developed digital multi engine and gorgeous DSP-based effects, prologue expands the variety of sounds and the possibilities for user customization.

Analog Physical Modeling Engine with multiple synthesis and oscillator types, Each oscillator type has flexible LFO and ADSR routing plus unique Texture and Mod controls that work as follows:
Multi-saw Texture, control adds sub-oscillator Mod, layers multiple sawtooth waves Pulse Texture, changes pitch of 2nd square wave Mod, change pulse width Oscillator Sync Texture, changes pitch and tone of OSC2 Mod, sets pitch change amount Ring Modulation Texture, changes pitch of OSC1 Mod, changes pitch of OSC2 Frequency Modulation Texture, sets Modulation amount Mod, changes pitch of the Modulator

?Onboard effects processor with five types add depth to your sound The effect types are: OFF (effect bypass,) Delay, VCM Phaser, VCM Chorus/Flanger and Distortion ?8-note polyphony allows complex chords and pads or switch to mono Mode for fat synth bass or solo leads
