We caught up with Luke from Korg at this year’s event as he introduced the *Multipoly* in desktop and rackmount versions. Luke explained that the new unit offers the same architecture as the original, minus the keys, and it can easily transform between a rackmount or a desktop setup. While the older Monopoly had subtle visual similarities to the vintage MonoPoly, the true connection lies in the round-robin layer feature, which cycles through four layers, akin to the original’s cycling through 4 oscillators.
He highlighted the integration of chaos physics technology, inherited from the Modwave, offering motion-based modulation through a chaos pad and ball mechanic. The unit can produce lush pads with up to 60 voices, demonstrating its synthesis power. Expect it in stores in the coming months with a similar price point to its keyboard counterpart, as the exact pricing is still to be confirmed.

Nice, thanks for this interview. Would it be possible to also make a separate one only about the upcoming software version?
Nick said he's getting Virus vibes from it but I'm getting hints of Supernova. Maybe it's the colour of the unit. 😂
I would have perfectly emulated the Mono/Poly first and then built around that. But this has nothing to do with the heritage of the Mono/Poly.
Gorgeous unit !! ❤
I feel like one of the selling points of a desktop synth is the price savings over the keyboard… so like… I'm left in a little bit of limbo here.
Is ridicously priced
Uuuh! It is blue. I need it! 😁
I find these FAR more exciting than Kronos. We are seeing affordable remakes with a lot of real improvements. If you are going to re-release and improve, DO IT! Make it something amazing and modern TECH. Congrats on this one Korg. This I would buy. This in a 61 key version? That would be sweet. The short keyboard is fine though. Price, ability, tactile. See, I still love Korg. Just not your Kronos and fan boys. (troll troll)
CROCKETT'S THEME!!! 🤠
the mambo giambo snake oil company aka korg 🤦🏼♂️
One thing I miss is the IPS in Cubase (Atari days) , and id use it for round robin on different sounds on different midi channels…..Love a round robin
Can we take off racks ears ? trying to find this infos ….
Miami vice theme ? yes 😉
I'm glad Korg decided to quickly follow up with the module – it's awesome 👍 I wonder if Neo is going to join the rack stack as well?
first pad reminds me of 'evan' off the miami vice soundtrack
Ooo! That sounded lovely.
Shout out to the camera work in these videos. You really put the camera where the action is. 🎹👍
Of this series of small format synths, this is definitely my favourite. Besides all the fancy features, the virtual analog oscillators and filters sound excellent.
