Discover the power and versatility of the Monologue 25-Key Monophonic Analog Synthesizer in a striking dark blue finish. This innovative synthesizer is not just a scaled-down version of its acclaimed sibling, the minilogue, but a unique instrument with its own voice and a plethora of new features. The Monologue is a fully programmable monophonic analog synthesizer, designed with a sleek layout and knob-per-function workflow. Its high-quality construction is accentuated by a stylish aluminum top panel, chassis-mounted pots, rubber-coated knobs, and a real wood back panel. This synthesizer boasts an all-new synthesis structure optimized for monophonic sounds and sequences. With 100 program memories, including 80 presets, you have a wide array of sound options at your fingertips. The 16-step sequencer, enhanced with extensive motion sequence technology, allows you to create dynamic and complex soundscapes. The Monologue's unique filter, modulation, drive, and LFO can generate powerful basses and sharp leads, showcasing its single-voice design. The newly featured drive circuit adds overtones and distortion to the sound, enabling you to generate fat basses and sharp lead sounds. The keyboard section features the acclaimed slim keybed of the minilogue and the MS-20 mini, covering the E-E range of notes, making it as familiar to play as a guitar or bass. The Monologue goes beyond analog synths in its price range by adding 100 preset locations. You can select a program for instant access to great sounds - from thick basses to deep subs to brilliant cutting leads and even percussive sequences. The step sequencer of the Monologue has been significantly enhanced to deliver musical, complex rhythms that are easy to capture, see, and edit. It supports both real-time recording with overdubbing capability as well as step recording. The Monologue also features microtuning, allowing you to create your own scales and explore a world of unique frequencies. The OLED display shows the waveform in real time as you sculpt your sound, providing both educational and entertaining visual feedback. Despite its robust construction, the Monologue is compact and lightweight, making it portable and stage-ready. It can operate on batteries, making it a convenient choice for performers on the go. The Monologue offers MIDI, USB MIDI, and Audio Sync for all types of in-studio and live connectivity. It can integrate seamlessly with KORG volcas, electribes, minilogue, and SQ-1, and can be used with your DAW as both a USB MIDI controller or a versatile analog voice. Available in five vibrant colors, the Monologue is more than just a synthesizer; it's a reflection of your musical personality. Choose the dark blue Monologue to add a touch of elegance to your setup.

The Korg Monologue is a fantastic and fun two oscillator fully analog monosynth with selectable ring mod or sync on oscillator two. It lends itself naturally to bass tones and produces them well and with ease. Programming is fluid as almost every parameter has a knob or switch with an intuitive menu accessible through the sequencer buttons for things like tempo syncing the LFO, keytracking the filter, setting velocity control of filter and/or amplitude, assigning the bender, and naming patches. The sequencer is fun to use as well. I never recorded in real time, opting instead to step sequence, which acts as you would expect if you have used other step sequencers. I think it's a little odd that Korg opted for a 100 patch limit instead of a standard 128 but that's more of an observation than a complaint. I did not find many uses for the drive as I found it too aggressive & harsh in most applications but I don't take off pints for this. The LFO is very expressive and can even go up to audio rate in the "fast" setting, allowing for analog-FM style tones when assigned to any destination. Although this synth does not have full sized keys, they are not as small as say a microKORG or many controllers. They feel pretty natural to play and I wasn't hitting extra keys while using them. I would say this is an excellent first synth for anyone attempting to learn synthesis. However, even an experienced user as myself can find uses for the sound of this synth with its pure analog signal path and excellent sounding filter.
