Korg Monologue Desktop Module Conversion Rescue w/ Aftermarket PSU

We strive for accuracy, but errors can occur. Please verify details or contact us with questions.

• Synthesis Type: Monophonic analog synthesizer based on Korg's Monologue sound engine, converted here into a desktop/module-style format.
• Voice Architecture: Single-voice analog architecture designed for basses, leads, sequences, effects, and focused mono synth parts.
• Oscillators: 2 VCO analog voice structure with hands-on controls for shaping the core tone.
  • VCO 1 and VCO 2 architecture for classic mono synth programming.
  • Wave shaping and oscillator interaction for thicker basses, sharper leads, and more animated analog tones.
  • Useful for simple solid analog patches, aggressive sequences, and experimental mono textures.
• Filter and Drive: Analog filter and drive section for shaping the Monologue's character.
  • Designed for immediate hands-on cutoff and resonance control.
  • Drive adds weight, edge, and more aggressive analog bite when pushed.
  • Works well for bass lines, acidic sequences, sync-style leads, and rougher electronic textures.
• Modulation: Envelope and LFO section for movement and performance-oriented sound design.
  • Envelope generator can be routed for pitch, oscillator pitch 2, or filter cutoff movement.
  • LFO includes saw, triangle, and square waveforms.
  • LFO modes include fast, slow, and one-shot behavior for vibrato, sweeps, pitch movement, and percussive modulation.
  • LFO destinations include pitch, shape, and cutoff.
• Sequencer: 16-step monophonic sequencer with motion sequencing.
  • Excellent for bass lines, repeating melodic patterns, rhythmic synth parts, and parameter-animated sequences.
  • Motion sequencing can be used on up to 4 parameters.
  • Useful as a self-contained analog pattern machine or as a sequenced mono voice in a larger setup.
• Microtuning: Deep microtuning support for scales outside standard equal temperament.
  • 32 tuning settings total.
  • 20 preset tunings.
  • 6 user scales and 6 user octaves.
  • Each tuning setting can be assigned a key.
  • Useful for experimental tuning systems, alternate scales, Aphex Twin-style programming, and nonstandard melodic work.
• Programs and Workflow:
  • Programmable patch storage for saving sounds and sequences.
  • Hands-on panel workflow keeps most sound design functions immediately accessible.
  • 23 dedicated panel controls provide direct parameter access without relying on deep menu diving.
  • Slider can control different parameters per program for performance and motion control.
• Connectivity:
  • Standard Monologue audio and MIDI-oriented studio integration.
  • Can be used from external sequencing gear, MIDI controllers, or a larger hardware setup.
  • Converted desktop/module format makes it easier to place near other synths, sequencers, or studio controllers.
• Use Cases:
  • Analog basses, leads, plucks, sequences, drones, tuned percussion, and experimental mono synth parts.
  • Compact studio setups where the Monologue sound is useful but the original keyboard footprint is not needed.
  • Hardware sequencing, small desktop rigs, analog monosynth layering, and hands-on sound design.
• Conversion Context: This specific unit is a rescued desktop/module conversion, not a factory-stock keyboard-format Monologue. The original keyboard assembly is not included.
