Creating and Explaining Synth Sounds on the Korg MonoPoly 🎹🎛✨

[@CharlesFerraro]

Dude your playing is so cool. Your fast riffs are amazing!

[@MRTUNA]

Thanks ! Those fast riffs are the only fast riffs
I can actually do! If you watch any of my other videos you’ll hear they all sound very similar 😓😓😵‍💫

[@CharlesFerraro]

@@MRTUNA oh yeah I totally get it. They still sound badass though!

[@machiwoomiapoo]

Nice! The MonoPoly has a mammoth sound to it. It's super PHAT. Awesome synth! Take care, Sam.

[@MRTUNA]

Thanks Sam! Good to have you here my friend

[@DJDigitalJosh]

If anyone's interested, Mono/Fury is a free VST or korg has an official monopoly vst you can demo.

[@randydarklight]

The Digital Filter of the Mono/Fury is totally different to the original one.

[@MRTUNA]

Nothing beats the original but I'm suprised how incredibly close the Korg iOS app is to the sound of the original when comparing patches

[@daniel_mana]

Awesome synth

[@RoofLight00]

Will never sell mine. Every time I turn it on I can get something new out of it.
Great for BOC style sounds if you know how😉

[@schance1666]

Great vid! Still trying to learn mine, it's a beast! How did you get the stereo spread (around 12mins in)?

[@awesomeduder]

now this... is what's up

[@YahRiYah_Ahava777]

You are so cool and you know it.❤

[@sun_shine_lover3171]

Great synth! Bit distorted on your audio (sure you realised after) but anyhow nice playing and demo thanks!

[@lesterfalcon1350]

Re-watching this to see if I can glean anymore tips for my Mono/Poly. I think you made a mistake though at 2:30. You set all 4 Oscillators to PWM, so the PW knob has no effect. It only affects the Oscillators assigned to PW. So there are 2 independent PW options (with or without modulation) . Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm up for learning more, but I just tested and there was no

[@angeldc54]

I can hear your voice very clearly. That's about it.

[@MRTUNA]

Weird I can hear it pretty good from here but the Monopoly is very crackly just the way it goes I’m afraid

[@MrAliensix]

Phase issues unfortunately. The synth cancels out completely in mono!

[@CR-sj7xd]

Behringer clone has a different sound but still the taste is there. i'll take the Behringer over the original because reliability and price (of course), and we have so saturated vintage music nowdays, not bad to hearing modern tones sometimes

[@jrnyfn]

Thanks Tuna, but "Mono - Poly" maybe? LOL

[@MRTUNA]

Ive heard it said both ways--- Korg says it like the boardgame so thats how I say it 🤷‍♀

[@MRTUNA]

I was betting people were going to find it weird :P

[@sergeyermolenko6034]

А в чём смысл? Не лучше ли сесть на него бескрайним задом и подождать полчаса, когда гарантированно зазвучат сразу четыре ноты?

[@sun_shine_lover3171]

Also shame Korg didn't make a reissue like they did with the MS20 etc.. and left it to MEHringer ripping them off like so many others they have done ;(

[@schance1666]

Fuggin LOVE my Behringer Mono/Poly, and so does my bank account. Call 'em ripoffs all you want!!! I lost hundreds in value on my original MS-20 when Korg came out with the mini, but I couldn't care less since so many more (budget) players got their hands on that tech.

[@Wonderbrains]

Bro. Recording sounds wack. Listening on mobile. Can you take this down and retrry to actually record the sound of the Korg ?

[@80ssynthfan48]

I think it may be more the rawness of the synth. This was not a synth for lush soundscapes.

[@MrAliensix]

@@80ssynthfan48 Phase issues unfortunately. The synth cancels out completely in mono! Hence why it sounds thin.

[@kaitlyn__L]

@@MrAliensix I thought it sounded like the sound was _inside_ my left ear! Glad(?) it's not just me.
