Korg Monologue BK

Initially, I was satisfied with functionality and workmanship, but 3 months of ownership have revealed MAJOR quality control issues for Korg. Be wary. The main volume knob now serves no function (does not attenuate). Very disappointed...past the return period. Now I have to go through the trouble of...

If it had only cost $50-100 i would be content with purchasing it. But for $300 it's just not worth buying. Wish id played with one before i threw my money away.

AMAZING. Sounds great and easy to use. my 7 years old started playing with it right away. The only problem and that's been mentioned, the adaptor isn't included AND there's no detailed specs in the manual. actually, the manual is crap. But the synth is great.

The Monologue is great! Build quality is quite good - plastic bottom/sides, but the back is solid wood, and the top is metal, with chassis-mounted knobs. The keys are very narrow, slightly narrower than those on the Arturia Minibrute and Microbrute - I have slender fingers, and they barely fit in be...

I can't stress enough how incredibly amazing this little monophonic synth is. The fact that it's $300 is mind blowing. It's little but don't let that fool you. It's easy to go up or down octaves (for both VCOs). The envelope only has attack and decay but the rate and intensity knobs will allow you t...

My 1st synthesizer was a Univox -Mini Korg. That was back in '75, in high school. It was a heavy beast of wood and metal, with a beautiful sound. I also had a Univox echo chamber, that ran on a tiny 8-track tape. In the late '80s, I had a Mini Korg 2. (2 oscilators). That was a great one! I noted th...

Strong and capable little synthesizer. If you've done your research on what this thing can do and seen plenty of demonstrations and you STILL want to buy it, just do it already--you won't regret it!! For the money you can't go wrong. This thing is super versatile, and it actually doubles as an analo...

This is my first synthesizer, and I can't stress enough how difficult (or at least boring) it is to learn the art of synthesis without experimenting on a physical synthesizer. The knobs and layout are simple and make it easy to understand how your changes will affect sounds. This synth has allowed m...

I own this synth for nearly two years. It was the first synth i purchased to get into the hobby as a person not having any musical training. The Monologue offers a step sequencer you easily understand and instant access to a lot of buttons - which you may not understand as a beginner, but you get go...

I wish this had been my first synth purchase, sadly I went through many lesser instruments before purchasing this beautiful machine. I’ve owned the infamous OP-1, almost all of the Korg Volcas, the Elektron Model:Samples, and just about every pocket operator. If I could do it over again, I would hav...
