Specificaties:
Synth: Korg MonoPoly
Review by: Ian K Tindale
Summary: Analogue keyboard synth. 4 vco's can be used either as 4-note poly
(from keyboard) or as 4 osc mono. Many knobs, wood end panels,
attractive, lovable, very well respected.
Years Made: certainly 1981, +- whatever.
Polyphony: 4, but only applies to VCOs, mixed through the one VCF/VCA
Multitimbrality: no
MIDI: no, too old.
Note on/off: no
MIDI controllers (aftertouch, CC, etc): no
Sysex patch dumping: no
Sysex parameter control: no
Other external control:
CV/Gate: ins and outs, 1V/8va (as opposed to Korg's hitherto
standard - Hz/8va), gate in is very usefully switchable between +15
and s-trig. Also a portamento in (?).
Clock: arpeggiator in, S-trig (to ground)
Other CV: VCO Fm, VCF Fm
Audio input: no
Proprietary (DCB, etc): no
Programmer: no
Patch storage:
Patch dumping: no - but get a polaroid camera (useful tip!)
Voice architecture:
VCO times 4, Tri, Saw, PWM, PW: 16', 18', 4', 2', mix for each.
PW modulation router
Noise gen.
VCF: neg to zero to pos env mod, keyboard track.
VCA ADSR + single/multiple trig sw
LFO1 rate, with tri, saw, ramp and square
LFO2 just rate
Ultra neat section called EFFECTS, which does:
complex VCO cross-modulation,
variable SYNC modulation amounts
Sequencer/Arpeggiator:
Arpeggiator; 1oct, 2oct, full, up, down, up/down, latchable
Keyboard/rack:
Kbd - 3.5 oct - uses microprocessor controlled scanning = hackable?
Known problems: watch for the odd dead key if buying, a common report, but
easily fixed with still-available rubber doughnut things.
Accessories: ?
Related synths/gear:
PolySix is it's contemporary and shares styling and arpeggiator,
(the polysix was intended to be direct competition for Juno 6)
Price range: not dirt cheap unless it's trashed, but conversely, occasionally
not recognised for what a gem it is, so bargains are possible and
relatively frequent.
Availability:
wide (certainly still many in the UK and US) but not often parted with.
Comments:
Strengths: Unique sounds due to cross-mod and variable FM sync mod using 4
VCOs - very knob twiddleable sound freaking arises, which sounds
considerably 'different' to the usual filter knob twiddling. Also, you
can put it in poly, play 4 note chord 'hold' that chord, and play the
VCOs set like that in mono. Awesome for the money, for a normalised
keyboard synth. Also, the gate input is SWITCHABLE between the
standards of +15 or s-trig (short to ground) hooray, no fuss.
Weaknesses: Ext CV input is ONLY usable as a mono 4-osc synth, not poly,
but most people I know would only use it like that anyway. Not really
much cop as a poly synth - if you needed a poly, you'd be disappointed
as it is not a true poly with only one VCF/VCA/env path. Best thought
of as a mono with extra oddities.
Overall: good unique synth, used and loved by many
Other: Contains wood! Easy to get at the insides,
unscrew top and it hinges back.
