A monophonic synth with OSC or 4 multitimbral 4 notes only one CSO.
Pitch wheel and assignable LFO, Resonance Frequency and very convenient to control the sound.
No aftertouch or velocity but with the wheels you get the same thing.
1 LFO ENV for a filter, a VCA ENV for
Syncho CSO possible. Ring modulation.
Many waveforms for a sine ramp Vintage classics PMW more square and PW!
A sequencer very effective and practical.
All input CV / Gate to the filter, the outbreak of such seq. No problem with the interfaces Kenton.
No S & h or pink noise.
The pulse width can be controlled by one button, so we rule all the CSOs at the same time ... shame.
UTILIZATION
One button = one function. You get what you want right away.
What more?
Also note that for a vintage synth control is very precise. The sound is very professional, it is far from an ARP2600 example that makes a different sound every time you turn it on.
Moreover it is immediately Tune ignition, no need to wait for it 'hot'.
SOUNDS
It's really what we expect of him. He has an unmistakable vintage sound, but the precise control of synth-type SE-1 and Voyager.
It is a very mastered synth from Korg. His resonant filter is excellent, he went to the lollipop if you put a background and reso synth goes into orbit!
Because of the four CSOs in unison mode can be made very bold brass, or else a single CSO can be sequences of thunder.
Envelopes are super fast, we can make bass fishing with an incredible cutting the filter early.
Of course with a good white noise, and an envelope as fast you can make drums sympa.Les leads are sharp little we do not detune too CSOs.
By not against M & H, why? Shame for fun effects.
As against it sounds quite 'late'. CSOs do not have the warmth and definition of race condition Minimoog, Odyssey, SE1, ATCX ... This puts him right back after them. Why this problem? Namely, the design of Korg has not been on top? Putting all four OSC does not correct the problem. With only one CSO, SE1 one more fishing than Monopoly
But that takes nothing away from these opportunities and ergonomics.
OVERALL OPINION
A very good synth, stable, solid as a Rock, with wood on the side of beautiful and classy.
Sounds very vintage, a good personality but not too much, he's a good synth Boulo without imposing sound too original.
It all sounds vintage without problems, but also can make tablecloths (with a single OSC does things not bad either)
So this is a good quality from the vintage synth for a studio equipped with plugins or virtual analog synth. It adds warmth to a mix that is undeniable. These possibilities and its filter and modulation synchonization gives an interesting grain.
