Used Korg Prologue 8 Polyphonic 49-Key 8-Voice Analog Synthesizer

While maintaining the legacy of its predecessors, the Prologue 8 Polyphonic 49-Key 8-Voice Analog Synthesizer from Korg, a reputable brand in the music industry, takes a leap forward in the world of sound production. This innovative synthesizer is a perfect blend of traditional analog circuits and a newly developed digital multi-engine, offering a wide array of sound possibilities for musicians and producers.

The Prologue 8 is a fully programmable, professional synthesizer, equipped with a full-sized keyboard. It's a polyphonic analog synthesizer, boasting 8 multitimbral voices, designed using 11,000 discrete electronic components. The synthesizer features a pure analog path, impeccable sound quality, and an intuitive interface, making it a versatile tool for creating fat basses, powerful leads, and beautiful pads.

The Prologue 8's unique structure of 2VCO + MULTI ENGINE, 1VCF, 2EG, 1VCA, and 1LFO, coupled with original circuitry like wave shaping and a sync/ring switch, sets it apart from other synthesizers. It also features a two-pole low pass filter with enhanced sharpness, drive for powerful distortion, and a low cut (high pass) switch, offering a wide range of sound customization options.

The ingenuity of the Prologue 8 extends beyond its analog design. The newly developed multi-engine, equipped with three different sound engines, can be combined with the analog VCOs to expand the synthesizer's sonic potential. The noise generator, with four types of noise, is essential for creating percussive sounds or sound effects. The VPM (Variable Phase Modulation) / FM oscillator, developed specifically for the Prologue 8, produces metallic and sharp sounds with complex overtones that cannot be achieved by analog means.

The Prologue 8 also includes a user oscillator section that allows you to load your own oscillator programs, and high-quality digital effects with pristine 32-bit floating-point processing. The synthesizer offers an SDK (Software Development Kit) for programming, customizing, and extending the capabilities of the multi-engine and digital effects. This feature, along with 16 user oscillator slots and 16 user effect slots, allows for endless sound creation possibilities.

The Prologue 8 is a two-timbre synthesizer, allowing you to play two different programs simultaneously. It also provides voice modes that let you freely combine the 16 or 8 voices for performance. The powerful arpeggiator, with a four-octave range and six types, opens up a world of limitless inspiration.

The sleek and stylish design of the Prologue 8, with its black aluminum front panel and oak wood side panels, redefines the look of a classic synthesizer. The high-quality Japanese-made natural touch keyboard offers superb touch and feel, ensuring a high degree of expressive power. This high-quality, sophisticated synthesizer is not only ideal for stage use but also perfect for studio, home, or touring use.
