This gives me KORG RADIAS vibes… each PATCH has 4 layers, sequencers, arpeggiator, multiple motion sequencer per layer….Berlin school, ambient sounds….
Thanks for the perfect demo! And thanks Korg for a Non-Black-on-Black gear!! I really hate that you don't use colours since Kronos. I would prefer even more colour, to make functions more identifiable way faster.
I love the korg digital engines of the wavestate and the modwave as vsts but not as hardware. I certainly look forward to trying this as a VST. Although it seems like a lot of overlap with a mod wave native which handles analog fairly well on its own.
I don’t really care what’s under the hood as long as it sounds good and there are good feeling controls. And having an editor is just a plus as long as it isn’t a requirement to make music. This one sounds good to me and have plenty to dig deep down in and learn. Of course a bigger screen would have been nice but it is there if you want it via a laptop or computer.
Owned a Minilogue XD and didn't like the limited envelope so sold it to get a Wavestate but don't like the fact it doesn't have real oscillators. This is actually what I've wanted all along...
Sounds pretty cool to me. Love that Korg still has that "Korg" sweet spot sound after all of these years. I have a 01/Wfd from the 90's and even though the MultiPoly is decades newer I can still hear it's Korg roots. Funny thing is the 01/W also has "Waveshaping" as a feature in it. Waveshaping was and is different than the Wavestation and Wavestate "Wave Sequencing". More subtle of evolving textures and harmonics. Might have to to get one of these.
All the negative vst comments then someone like me who actually doesn’t want to sit beyond a computer or pack a laptop setup everywhere and this a dream man love it
@@BeepsAndBeats well unless they make an easier way to put any vst you want on a physical synth to use as a tangible interface that isn’t just a midi controller daw setup then it kinda is what it is
People who moan “oh another a VST in a box” sound like absolute muppets. They must be the same kind of people who respond “you must be fun at parties”, like they’re incapable of producing an original thought. They just repeat other people’s ideas word for word. 😂
@@notsure1135 Describing the physical keyboard as merely a “box” is clearly a very reductive statement. The machine is more than the sum of its parts. I suppose musicians who perform live are more likely to understand and appreciate the value and benefits of a self-contained, ready-to-use instrument. BTW I won’t be buying this one, but for other reasons.
Check out the MIDI Pal, amongst other useful things it can fire off notes to alternate MIDI channels, round robin style. Also good for converting older multi timbral synths to poly after touch (you just copy the same sound to different channels).
I think it is amazing. Love what you did with the modulation capabilities, and especially those modifier operators. Also I absolutely love the multi-timbrality, the filter configurations, the fact there is an external editor and you can upload your own wavetables. I think it is very fresh and it looks great too. Well done. The only thing is missing the aftertouch. It's the same complaint I have with my GAIA 2. PS. While I am here, if I could make a request. I would love something like a Triton / M1/O1 in this form factor, plus some modern twists with the mod matrix and filter architecture you have here. The ultimate rompler for the future!! I am certain it would sell like hotcakes! Don't forget the aftertouch! :-) Great job Korg!! ❤
I understand the absence of aftertouch to keep the price down, but not including an expression pedal input seems like a major oversight. This thing begs to be played with a quality MIDI controller. Release this with a 4-octave keyboard and an expression pedal input, and you have a Nord Lead killer. Failing that, a 5-octave “multi/poly SE” with poly AT (Keystage keybed wink wink) and more pedal inputs (at least 3, including damper) would be an amazing instrument.
Wavestate, Opsix, Modwave, and Multi/Poly all need a bigger screen with touch input to help with the menu diving. They had no trouble putting those in Tritons, M50, and Nautilus, plus the technology is cheaper these days. Korg sucks as far as interfaces when they have paradoxically done some of them well as well.
9:35 it's 5 a.m. and I'm getting interested. It looks well worth of asking price, 900 euros. If only it had two more assignable ouputs (none of manufacturers does or will do this anyway). Oh, only damper pedal input?
Brilliant demo Luke but who are the numpties asking for 3 octave keyboards? I know space can be a premium in some homes and studios but a 61 note premium semi-wighted keyboard with after touch should be a minmum on all new keyboards. Or is this an upselling technique where there will be a five octave release a la Wavestate SE?
All I hoped for was a 4 layer modwave (My favourite synth in a collection of 20+ vintage, analog, and hiend digital) - and now it's here!! BUT YOU LEFT OUT THE SAMPLES?!? The combination of VA, wavetable and sampler is what really makes the modwave stand out Hope you put it in the multi/poly mkII (coming out in 11 months or something?).
Wait for the VST version. The build quality of these synths in this format (Modwave, Wavestate, Opsix, Multi/Poly, Kingkorg Neo) is sorely lacking for the asking price, and the undersized toy keybed is like what you find on cheap Casios. I'm eager to give the VST version a spin.
Does the USB connection actually work on Windows or does it have the same issue it always had with Korg gear? It's always been so frustrating trying to hook up my minilogue to a windows computer ...Asking before buying
@@OlegAryutkin It doesn't.. It's a thing. You need to uninstall other USB devices for it to recognize it first. I have to use the 'uninstall korg midi driver' app every time.
Luke, another awesome Korg is another awesome video, thank you. I wanted to ask if you can manipulate the presets without messing up the original settings. I’ve done this on my Nautilus by turning the knobs And not making a user category. It always seemed to stay the same before and reset when I turn it back on the next time I play. and one day I turned it back on and the Combinations of some of the programs that I tweaked around with were messed up. The book says you can tweak them knobs and return them to the center position, and turn it off without saving anything and they will be the factory reset again? That’s the reason I’m asking because I’m looking at This New one you’re playing and I want it. But, I need a clear definition of how the global mode and or how this one works so I do not mess up the original factory settings. I don’t know if Korgs Global modes exist on all the synths or just the workstations? Thanks so much for the demo and the awesome Sounding synthesizer!
At least they have upped the build quality. Had both the Wavestate and Opsix and loved them. Pity they haven't improved the screen size as deffo needs a touchscreen instead of all the buttons.
A demo by Luke is always a good demo!
I don't even need a new synth, I just like hearing Luke play
Wellllllll......🤔🤔🤔!
Hahah
Very impressive machine! It's on my list. Great demo Luke!
Great presets. This synth is a MUST.
Thanks! This KORG m/p is gonna go a long way of seeing the light of day!
What a musical treasure🎹🎹🎹🎹
This is actually a incredible synth , I really want one
I wasn’t even in the market for a synth. Then I watched this video. Well done!
Would love a desktop version with mpe compatibility....
I LOVE Korg. This thing sounds incredible
Sounds fantastic, the different filter types sound very good . The one sounds very Sequential like 👍
OMG, this thing looks amazing...exactly what i was looking for. :)
What a deep engine! I wonder if KORG plans to do a 61 key version as well.
Luke's back to KORG 🤘🏻❤️🔥🤘🏻
Luke is an international treasure ✨
hehe yeah)
Pretty much
takes me back to when i was juat getting into synths
This gives me KORG RADIAS vibes… each PATCH has 4 layers, sequencers, arpeggiator, multiple motion sequencer per layer….Berlin school, ambient sounds….
The Radias is such an underrated synth.
Thanks for the perfect demo!
And thanks Korg for a Non-Black-on-Black gear!! I really hate that you don't use colours since Kronos.
I would prefer even more colour, to make functions more identifiable way faster.

Thank you Luke for another wonderful presentation, and thank you KORG for choosing Luke do his mastery of this amazing new synth !

And KORG deserves Luke!
🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Brilliant demo Luke!!!
And I really don't need another synth ~ Darn you Luke!!
Absolut cooles Teil, hammer Sounds und schön vielseitig, der macht bestimmt richtig Spass.....and of course a super demonstration, thank you...
I like that layer switch feature
I don’t really care what’s under the hood as long as it sounds good and there are good feeling controls. And having an editor is just a plus as long as it isn’t a requirement to make music.

Sounds and looks amazing, great work Korg.
Excellent demo 👌
Owned a Minilogue XD and didn't like the limited envelope so sold it to get a Wavestate but don't like the fact it doesn't have real oscillators. This is actually what I've wanted all along...
I didn't like the ModWave, it sounded like a free VST, lol...but this sounds "interesting" so far despite the Raspberry chip, lol.
@@Aetila despite the Raspberry chip that blows away the piss weak processor in 99% of digital hardware synths?
Very concise and informative.
Sounds great!
Please make a module version of this and the KingKorg! I don’t have space for this sadly, and need this in rack format😄
Sold. I'll buy this.
Sounds pretty cool to me. Love that Korg still has that "Korg" sweet spot sound after all of these years.

When comes it in Module Version ?? Cause I have all other 3 of the Form Serie as Module, that were great have this also in Module...
All the negative vst comments then someone like me who actually doesn’t want to sit beyond a computer or pack a laptop setup everywhere and this a dream man love it
You’re missing the point. You’re overpaying for a controller with a vst. Not an actual synth
@@BeepsAndBeats well unless they make an easier way to put any vst you want on a physical synth to use as a tangible interface that isn’t just a midi controller daw setup then it kinda is what it is

@@JeremyRobberechts only it is another VST in a box.
Buy what you want though.

Luke could make scraping chalk sound good. Great player and product
Wow! Fantastic! I'm getting one for sure.
Can we get a rack version soon please? Some of us lack space and rackmount greatly help for that.
So cool! I like the sounds so much!
good to see Luke Demoing it. best keys demo guy on the interweb. oh, and the synth is nice too
Would like to see the SE M/P filter available for my Modwave as an update! Well done Korg, keep the innovative spirit!!!
Just here to hear luke play 🙃 great sounding synth though. More blue synths please. Reminds me of the ppg wave.
Gotta love that Kaoss Pad function
I wish there was a "layer rotate" in Wavestate... ❤
Check out the MIDI Pal, amongst other useful things it can fire off notes to alternate MIDI channels, round robin style. Also good for converting older multi timbral synths to poly after touch (you just copy the same sound to different channels).
When's the module version coming out? :)
Whoa..modeled analogue portamento. I'm impressed.
Great demo, sounds amazing.
Excellent demo, thanks
Wow, this synth seems like a home run. Will be purchasing it but only if it comes in the rack or desktop form.

Great job Korg!! ❤
Korgies, this looks nice indeed, love the x/y pad too, why don't you make Z1 plugin or at least add the missing physical models to Prophecy!
Great synth!
... I'll wait for the expanded multi/poly mk2 version with 120 voice polyphony and colored kaoss pad ;)
haha
Hopefully, with aftertouch, too.
Exactly!! XD
Can you use an expression pedal on the filter ?
Sounds great this, great work too Luke! Korg continue to do cool shiz.
Filter models just getting better and better.
I understand the absence of aftertouch to keep the price down, but not including an expression pedal input seems like a major oversight.

Are these virtual oscillators free running, like in the latest Modal Cobolt 8 or Argon8 updates?
TH-camrs already said this has needs high sound design skills thus that needed a nice screen like microkorg 2 to explain it all not a 70's 1.
Wavestate, Opsix, Modwave, and Multi/Poly all need a bigger screen with touch input to help with the menu diving. They had no trouble putting those in Tritons, M50, and Nautilus, plus the technology is cheaper these days. Korg sucks as far as interfaces when they have paradoxically done some of them well as well.

my next synth. dependnig on polyphony. Checking now.
60?
Brilliant demo Luke but who are the numpties asking for 3 octave keyboards? I know space can be a premium in some homes and studios but a 61 note premium semi-wighted keyboard with after touch should be a minmum on all new keyboards. Or is this an upselling technique where there will be a five octave release a la Wavestate SE?
Shame no aftertouch on the keybed, but it looks and sounds impressive. Perfect for 2nd keyboard in my live rig.
So powerful crazy
Are the features in the multi poly in the prologue? Wondering if I need to make an addition.
All I hoped for was a 4 layer modwave (My favourite synth in a collection of 20+ vintage, analog, and hiend digital) - and now it's here!! BUT YOU LEFT OUT THE SAMPLES?!? The combination of VA, wavetable and sampler is what really makes the modwave stand out Hope you put it in the multi/poly mkII (coming out in 11 months or something?).
Just saw on another video that there is 6,3 GB memory inside. So this could maybe be fixed in an os update!
GREAT sounding Synth!!! Please Dear Korg Team make also a SE 61 version of this synth
Excelent toy, and excelente demo.
Guys, when will be Korg Prologue XD V8?
Is there a way to provide a firmware update to live record or provide a basic step sequencer to dial in my own notes ?
I love Korg, it sounds great, unfortunately I am out of space for it.
Wait for the VST version. The build quality of these synths in this format (Modwave, Wavestate, Opsix, Multi/Poly, Kingkorg Neo) is sorely lacking for the asking price, and the undersized toy keybed is like what you find on cheap Casios. I'm eager to give the VST version a spin.
Will there be a Multi/poly VST?
impressive sound quality
nah - I'm going to hold out for the maxi/many
lol
Is that the Unicron theme from the 80s transformers movie at 4:20? 😱 Vince Dicola aced that soundtrack.
vsti version please
Yep. It’s all digital, i certainly don’t need to own the keyboard. Filter sounds great for all-digital. 🤘
VST will arrive soon.
Give it 20 months.
Please, how did you use a sustain pedal that was not applied to the lead sound, but only to the pad?
Each of the 4 parts lives on its own MIDI channel.
Quite Frankly, I LOVE It
im buying one!
Sounds decent. Great demo! ❤
Does the USB connection actually work on Windows or does it have the same issue it always had with Korg gear? It's always been so frustrating trying to hook up my minilogue to a windows computer ...Asking before buying
For Minilogue You gotta install drivers and then it works fine
@@OlegAryutkin It doesn't.. It's a thing. You need to uninstall other USB devices for it to recognize it first. I have to use the 'uninstall korg midi driver' app every time.
The first sounds have reverb ( when you are reviewing the saw ). Is this built in?
Sounds very nice! Love the design . :)
I need it.
it does sound incredible
Good demo but I would like see more the controls during the performance
Sounds fantastic! Are the stereo outputs balanced? Does the USB transmit audio data from the synth engine?
Is there going to be a VST Plug-in?
I'd be surprised if they don't release a VST version.
I eagerly await.
woooooooooo, amazing this
Is the kaoss physics velocity based like does it slow down and stop or does it continue to repeat your motion
Cool stuff Korg
Luke, another awesome Korg is another awesome video, thank you. I wanted to ask if you can manipulate the presets without messing up the original settings. I’ve done this on my Nautilus by turning the knobs And not making a user category.

I don’t know if Korgs Global modes exist on all the synths or just the workstations? Thanks so much for the demo and the awesome Sounding synthesizer!
I want this really bad but i don't have the space nor the need for the keys. Please make a desktop module version asap. I'm dying of GAS.
will this came out in 61 or 73 keyz?
Should have been made into a 61-key keyboard.
White/Polar version?
At least they have upped the build quality. Had both the Wavestate and Opsix and loved them. Pity they haven't improved the screen size as deffo needs a touchscreen instead of all the buttons.
Understatement.
Damn this synth is yummy !
Interesting concept, unfortunately unless there is a module version I have no space for another keyboard.
What are the main differences with Korg King korg Neo?
long list
This one or the Prologue 16?
Both
This does sound good and has loads of sound design possibilities. Ill be giving it a spin when I can get my hands on one to demo.
Gonna have to buy one now dammit
are the filters modeled or analog?
Modeled
Wow!
