I wish it used a standard size power cord. It would sound even better. Seems like that would have been an easy win. That being said, I’m looking forward to programming with this one. Great overview! 👍🏾
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. I'm not sure what you mean about a standard size power cord. Putting my "EE" hat now ... If you mean having the power supply internal to the instrument, that wouldn't make any difference in the sound -- the mains input would still need to be converted from AC to DC and stepped down to (in this case) 12V. Using an internal power supply instead of the external supply would actually increase the chance of stray noise being introduced because additional shielding would be required inside the unit. Additional cooling would also be necessary. That would raise costs, and subsequently the selling price. There are also costly certifications required for devices with internal power supplies that would also increase the final price. Using the external supply allows Korg to test and certify a common power supply for the multi/poly, wavestate, opsix, modwave, King Korg NEO, Kross 2, and I'm sure others. I agree that using the external power supplies is certainly less convenient for the end user, and I do wish that Korg would use a more standard barrel plug on their synths. Cheers!
Very cool Geren. I might get one to go with the GAIA 2. Think they will be a good combo. Just got a Novation 61SL Mk3 to drive it like we talked about briefly. Anyway, it sounds really great and looks awesome man. Very happy for you. Thank you for the excellent walk through and demo. Have a great weekend and enjoy it!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Of course, I realized after that there were a couple of other points I'd wanted to make (isn't that always the way?), and one was how I think it compares to the GAIA 2. I'll probably try to remember to touch on those on Monday night's stream. I think that there will be a fair amount of overlap between the multi/poly and the GAIA 2, but that there's also enough difference between them to make the combination interesting and compelling. Enjoy your weekend as well! Cheers!
Oh man i missed the live breakdown... checking it now. So, New multi poly!? Looking forward to hearing what sounds you make with it. How do the keys feel?
@@HarmonicSonics. I talk about the keys in the video. TL;DR is that they’re markedly improved over the original models. Similarish to Arturia’s KeyLab mkII, but without aftertouch.
