01Overview

KORG's multi/poly native brings the multi/poly hardware synth into your DAW. Its analog modeling covers oscillators, filters, envelopes and VCA responses, with each voice carrying slight component variations for naturally rich timbres. Sounds can move between the software and the hardware, so you can build patches in the studio and play them live, or start from a hardware patch and finish in the computer.

Analog modeling and voice behavior

Each voice has a Virtual Voice Card that models analog component variation in its oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs and portamento circuits. The amount of this variation can be set separately for each sound.

Voice cards keep running even when you cannot hear them. Envelopes keep evolving, so a newly played note on a long pad release picks up the envelope at its current level instead of restarting from zero. Oscillators and LFOs keep their phase, and oscillator pitch can drift slightly over time, as it does in analog hardware.

Oscillators and filters

The synth offers four oscillators per Program, each using Classic, Digital or Waveshaper types. The Classic type includes 11 waveform options, and the Digital type plays wavetables of up to 64 steps with over 200 factory tables and support for custom wavetables. Waveshaper provides West-Coast style shaping of sine or triangle waves through a shaper table.

The filter section includes five 4-pole self-resonating models, plus MS-20 LP and HP filters modeled on the Korg MS-20 and an SE M/P 2-pole filter.
