Korg Monologue Blue

Handled in a professional way as usual from the good guys (and gals) at Thomann, I managed to get my hands on the modern flagship monophonic synth from Korg.

What can I say, it sounds modern but with a twist on the past, the single VCO doesn't disappoint providing an incredible wall of sound for its price and size.
The sequencer it's really straight forward providing rhythmic and melodic movement from the moment you touch the synth.

The filter is really top notch, Korg has worked really well providing a filter which doesn't make you cry about the MS20 Mini missed opportunity, it has character and it develops squilchy 303 sounds for your techno needs in an easy way.
The drive knob push this forward and with all the features it packs it can get you into industrial territory and P-Bass emulations nicely without losing bottom end.

The quality is good for the price, solid, sturdy, in different colors and with a nice wood back for the wood lovers.

Only Con it would be to expect polyphony from a monophonic synth, so if you want chords, pads and stabs, save for a Minilogue!
