This sold on 6-30-2026.
Sold: Korg Monologue monophonic analog synthesizer desktop module conversion in good condition. This one came to us in rough shape with no keyboard (see photo 15). I brought it back as a compact desktop/module-style Monologue and ended up using it in the studio for about a year. This is a fun little analog box if you want the Monologue sound and sequencer without dedicating space to the original keyboard format.
Details below:
Converted from a rough keyboard unit into a compact desktop/module-style Monologue.
All controls and functions work as intended, but some of the knobs wobble a bit and rub against the faceplate, which is somewhat uneven despite our best efforts to flatten a warped faceplate.
Some knobs are not in perfect cosmetic condition (see photo 14).
This unit is clean enough to use and enjoy, but it is a rescue conversion and not a pristine factory-stock Monologue. There is a visible line in the finish from where the faceplate was bent and repaired/reshaped (see photo 14). Please examine all photos carefully, as we have done our best to document the condition.
The Korg Monologue is a compact monophonic analog synthesizer with a direct, hands-on panel, a surprisingly useful sequencer, motion sequencing, microtuning, and a gritty little voice that works well for basses, leads, sequences, percussive synth lines, and strange tuned textures. In this converted desktop form, it is especially easy to tuck into a small studio setup, run from an external sequencer, or keep patched in as a dedicated analog mono voice.
Sale includes the converted Korg Monologue module and aftermarket power supply.

- 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.
