The multi/poly module from KORG draws inspiration from the legendary mono/poly analogue synthesizer from the 1980s, which was known for its big sound and experimental features thanks to its 4 oscillators, and transfers this concept into the modern age with the help of sophisticated modelling technology. It uses the latest generation of KORG analogue modelling, which, in addition to the detailed reproduction of classic oscillators and filters, for the first time also includes complete voice boards with the interaction of qualitatively different components, envelope generators and even portamento behaviour. In this way, the multi/poly module creates sounds that seem almost alive and have the typical "analogue" timbre. The available "Classic", "Digital" and "Waveshaper" oscillators, which can of course be freely combined with each other, offer a real playground for sound designers and synthesiser fans. Within a sound programme, 4 oscillators, a noise generator with its own filter and saturation as well as a ring modulator are available. In combination with the dual filter, the flexible cross-modulation known from the Mono/Poly, four loopable DAHDSR envelopes, five LFOs and six modulation processors, there are no limits to the imagination when creating sounds. Within a "Performance", up to four such sound programmes can be created as "Layer". "Split" or "Layer Rotate" sounds to create particularly complex timbres. ("Layer Rotate" is a function inspired by the classic mono/poly and switches between different sound programmes each time a button is pressed in "Round Robin" style) To animate these sounds, the "Motion Sequencing 2.0" function offers several independent sequencer tracks for timing, pitch, shape and four other parameters, each of which can be recorded as individual steps or in real time. As if that wasn't enough, the "Kaoss Physics" function provides additional, unique modulation options based on the physical model of a virtual ball that moves on a plane based on previously defined parameters and can be controlled or triggered using the integrated X/Y touchpad. This ball generates eight different modulation signals at any given time, which can affect almost any sound-shaping parameter. This creates complex modulations that are never exactly repeated and can be used particularly effectively in a live context. Three blocks with studio-quality effects as well as a master reverb and a master EQ round off the sounds accordingly. When switching between different sound programmes, the "Smooth Sound Transition" familiar from the KORG flagship workstations ensures natural-sounding transitions without tearing off the sounds or effects. An inspiring random function is available for creating new sounds, which randomises all or only certain sound-shaping parameters within a previously defined framework at the touch of a button, which can lead to completely new timbres or useful starting points for further sound experiments. With the exception of the pitch bend and modulation wheels, the multi/poly module offers the same controls as the keyboard version, allowing all parameters to be set directly on the device. The compact housing can be placed either in a 19" rack or on a desk, whereby two different installation angles can be selected for the latter variant. The connection sockets are positioned so that the cables are still accessible even if other devices are installed in the rack directly above the module. By supporting the MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange Standard, the multi/poly module also communicates independently with other MIDI 2.0-compatible devices such as the Keystage MIDI Controller, making time-consuming MIDI mappings a thing of the past. Free editor/librarian software for Mac and PC is also available for particularly convenient programming of the multi/poly module.

The nanoKEY Fold is an extremely portable MIDI keyboard that is equipped with numerous practical features and can be folded to the size of a smartphone for transport. This means it can be taken anywhere and is always there when inspiration strikes. The flat membrane keyboard allows precise note entry thanks to the push buttons used and can be played almost silently. Two touch sliders allow you to control pitch and modulation, but can also be assigned any other CCs or even scales, which can then be played with just one finger using a swipe movement. Two different scale modes are also available for the keyboard itself: In standard mode, illuminated red LEDs mark the keys that belong to the currently selected scale. In "Easy Scale" mode, on the other hand, only the notes that actually occur in the selected scale are output, regardless of which key is currently pressed. The chord mode allows you to play complete chords using individual keys, and the powerful arpeggiator brings movement to the performance. As the nanoKEY Fold also has a split function, all these modes can also be combined with each other, so that, for example, the left half of the keyboard triggers chords or arpeggios while a matching melody is played on the right half. Of course, programme or control changes can also be output via the individual keys, which further expands the potential areas of application. All settings can be saved in up to 15 scenes in the device and recalled at lightning speed. The free KORG KONTROL EDITOR software for Mac and PC is available for programming the scenes. The nanoKEY Fold can be easily connected to a computer, smartphone or tablet via the USB-C interface and used immediately with a real "plug & play" experience. In addition, the standard MIDI interface (via the supplied mini jack DIN adapter) allows operation with classic MIDI hardware such as synthesizers or drum machines.

The new, semi-weighted keyboard with 37 velocity-sensitive keys provides a pleasant playing feel, while the elegant look with wooden elements on the sides and a blue and black control panel is a lovingly realised reminiscence of the classic mono/poly. For particularly convenient programming of the multi/poly, free editor/librarian software is also available for Mac and PC. And so that the instrument can also be transported in style, it is supplied with a matching blue soft case with the multi/poly logo.

The KRONOS is the ideal stage and studio instrument for anyone who needs maximum flexibility without compromising on sound quality, reliability and features. With no less than nine different sound engines, the KRONOS delivers high-quality sounds from all musical genres - and thanks to the huge and constantly growing number of additional sound libraries, it can be expanded again and again and tailored to individual requirements. The SGX-2 engine specialises in authentic concert grand and upright piano sounds, including the typical mechanical noises and resonances that acoustic instruments inevitably produce. A total of four different high-resolution concert grand pianos of German, Japanese and Italian origin are available ex works, each with 12 dynamic levels and with unlooped samples per key for an outstanding sounding piano experience. The EP-1 Engine is dedicated to the distinctive sound of classic vintage electric pianos with electromechanical sound generators such as reed plates or reeds. In addition to the typical background noises, suitable effect and amplifier models are also included, allowing the most legendary electric piano sounds in music history to be recreated effortlessly. The CX-3 Engine provides the player with an impressive reproduction of the KORG CX-3 tonewheel organ, whose drawbars can be operated intuitively via the nine faders of the KRONOS. Of course, suitable chorus, vibrato, drive and rotary effects are also included to complete the authentic organ experience. The Polysix EX engine is a detailed reproduction of the KORG Polysix analogue synthesizer, whose warm, full sound is predestined for musical genres from the 1980s and early 1990s as well as for more modern synthwave productions. The same applies to the MS-20 EX engine, which is a faithful adaptation of the iconic MS-20 analogue synthesizer from the 1970s, whose unique and aggressive sound is still an integral part of countless legendary electronic music productions today. The KRONOS' large TouchView display can even be used to create virtual connections on the MS-20's patch panel, allowing you to customise the signal path according to your own ideas. The AL-1 Engine is also available for further virtual-analogue sounds, with its complex possibilities and authentic-sounding oscillators and filters for velvety-smooth pads, assertive leads and punchy basses. With the STR-1 engine, the KRONOS offers comprehensive physical modelling sound generation, in which the sounds are generated and modulated in real time using physical models. This type of synthesis is particularly suitable for creating plucked and stringed instruments, whose virtual strings can be plucked, struck or bowed. The MOD-7 engine, on the other hand, specialises entirely in VPM/FM synthesis, which was particularly dominant in the music world of the 1980s, but has also recently experienced a real renaissance in the EDM sector. In addition to brilliant bells and legendary electric piano sounds, it can also be used to generate dynamic pads and ultra-deep basses. In addition, the six operators of the engine can be equipped with waveshaping or ring modulation oscillators as well as PCM samples, which guarantees almost infinite freedom when designing new sounds. "Last but not least, the HD-1 engine is a powerful sampling sound generator that can be used to create complex multisamples and play them over different keyboard and velocity ranges. This engine contains all sample-based sounds such as natural instruments, drums, percussion, choirs etc. and can also be used to play your own samples. The latter can either be loaded into the instrument via USB stick or created using the comprehensive internal sampler function. Separate audio and microphone inputs as well as an integrated USB audio interface are available for this purpose. The HD-1 engine also offers the option of wave sequencing, which is familiar from the classic KORG WAVESTATION from the 1990s and can generate rhythmic phrases and constantly changing pad sounds. All sounds created with these nine engines can be combined with each other within the Combi mode, either as dynamically playable layer or split sounds with up to 16 individual instances. Such extensive combinations can then be organised just like individual sound programs in clearly arranged, colour-coded set lists and can even be called up using a footswitch if desired. Thanks to the practical "Smooth Sound Transition" function, played sounds are not interrupted when the sound programme is changed, but continue to sound natural, even if the new sound is already being played. The powerful on-board sequencer offers 16 MIDI and 16 audio tracks and is therefore also ideal as a practical playback device for click and backing tracks on stage. An extensive and flexibly customisable effects section with a total of 16 effect slots (12 insert, 2 master and 2 total effects + 3-band EQ) is available for all areas, which can be used from a pool of 197 different effect types. The inspiring KARMA function, which is also on board the KRONOS, generates complex musical accompaniment phrases in real time, which can be intuitively controlled and adjusted using the faders and buttons in the controller section. For particularly expressive playing, the KRONOS provides a variety of playing aids and real-time modulation sources, including a velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch, freely programmable faders, knobs and buttons, an X/Y joystick, an additional vector joystick and an intuitive ribbon controller.

Following in the footsteps of the miniKORG 700S, the miniKORG 700Sm is a tribute to the legendary synthesiser of the 1970s. It adopts all the functions and features of the newly released miniKORG 700 FS, which was only available in a strictly limited edition. By using a compact slim-key keyboard, the size could be reduced to 86% of the original. With a weight of just 5.8 kg, the miniKORG 700Sm is also significantly lighter and therefore much more transportable than the miniKORG 700FS. The synthesiser combines the charm of the original with modern features such as a 37-key aftertouch keyboard, a joystick for pitch bending, a real spring reverb and a memory for your own sounds. The two oscillators make it possible to create powerful, distinctive bass and lead sounds in the style of its predecessor.As with the original, most of the controls are located below the keyboard, which makes operation intuitive. A special highlight is the iconic "Traveller Controller", which can create impressive wah-wah and other sound effects with its unique filter control.The miniKORG 700FS is also equipped with an arpeggiator, a USB port and MIDI IN and CV/Gate interfaces. The model is supplied with a soft case to protect the synthesiser during transport.
