- Korg Monologue ($299.99) amzn.to/3kxiueB
Reviewing the Monologue Monophonic Analog Synthesizer from Korg. UA-cam is saturated with videos displaying mini synths like this but always with EDM or Pop music. I wanted to display a HipHop application which starts at 11:30 mark. Tons of sounds can be generated with this compact machine. No computer used during this video.

honestly sometimes I just watch this video coz you seem so happy to be making this and your energy is great
LOL nice
4 real!
Dude you’re such a positive person...the gear doesn’t matter when someone like you is having fun with the idea of music. Much love!
salute
I've seen over 50 vids on the Monologue and this is my favorite one. Great job dude. I want one now :)
awesome, tell Korg i sent you LOL
Thank you for doing a review from a hip hop perspective. All the reviews seem to be corny techno
my pleasure and thanks for the comment which i totally agree with LOL!
I just missed an opportunity to pick up the Korg Minilogue used at guitar center last Saturday for $349. The absolute best value for a four voice analog polyphonic synth on the market. Run these synths through some earthquaker devices guitar pedal or something of the sort and it gets crazy real quick, preferably a pedal with stereo out. The sounds get HUGE
Salute!!
It's monophonic. Polyphonic is the minilogue Bro 🤔
Nicely done brotha! So excited seeing you expand your palate and branching into analog synths and opening up new ideas to your fans. Much respect.
much thanks bro!!
I just watched three reviews of this before yours. Each review was good but the last of the three really dug in and he showed each feature. Well yours expanded on that especially with the hip hop drums at the end. No other review put those drums in. That really made a difference. Plus your initial sequences took it to another level as well. The other reviews made me want this keyboard. With yours I don't know if I can live life without it. Too much cool for $300.
salute
Great overview. This synth packs a surprisingly powerful punch in a small package. Great positive energy. You da man!
I appreciate that!
Great video. Loved the first tone you played at the end . Reminded me of when i used to try scratching a tone over a hip hop break for hour. Glad i bumped into your channel. Now subscribed BOOM !!
much thanks
Very sick video mate. Need one of these so bad. What was you using for drums on the jam at the end?
thanks i used my #verysickdrums pack coming out of the sp303
It's me again man. I've spent 10 minutes playing with a monosyth vst and it sent me on a nostalgia trip. My appreciation and respect for a monosynth rose exponentially. I've learned my lesson: *never underestimate a monosynth*
facts
Just got myself one. Haven't had the chance to turn on yet. Only came yesterday. So will be checking out today. Haven't had any gear for almost 20 years. Trying to get my kids into synth's. And I think I'm having a mid life crisis lol. So got one of these, a sample volca 2, Volca Fm, a keystep 37 and a Circuit. Original circuit. So good to get a heads up on the monologue. Great video 🔥 . Love from the UK 🙏👍👊💪🔥
salute have fun
you right on time with this review! thank you!
my pleasure
J I got the same one 2 months ago. I can't put it down. I midi it with a Casio RZ 1, Boss DR 202 and also works well with the MPC 2000 xl. Great little Synth!! Great Review man! The creation of tracks are endless!!!
Thanks and i would love to see a vid with your setup doing a beat with it
Yes :) I need to get a nice camera set up for youtube projects.
Same as Bren man, been trying to settle on a synth for my jams but everyone flexs with the techno, thanks for going through the presets and knob features
my pleasure
Can’t wait to get mine, she’s on back order . I’m playing metal/ industrial but I think I’ll also be getting funky too
enjoy!
@@Verysickbeats i got a new music video i did on my channel and im excited to add some weird sounds in my music and i think this is perfect. im a well rounded musician and i dont know how to play piano perse' but im sure i can convert my guitar skills into this
I got the Mono and Mini. Arriving this week. Got some fx pedals to run them through too ❤️
DOPE! have fun
why do you need the mono if you have a mini?
If you change the sound of a preset will it be changed forever? Or are you able to get the preset back? Also would you still recommend getting one of these in 2021? I’m highly considering getting one
it only changes if u save it but u can always recall the default presets no matter what you do. yes its still worth it in 2021
great review, i just got a monologue today, cant wait to play it!
by the way, your last album on Robsoul is amazing
much thanks
Thanks for posting this! Very helpful. Is the beat at the end coming from this as well?
drum beat came from sp303
Great review , I love your energy.
Thank you so much!
lmao that funkadelic!
LOL
Great video! Just ordered my monologue tonight! A red one too!
Much thanks and enjoy!
Love mine. Got it specifically for funk Beats!
yessir
Great video. Thanks man.
my pleasure
Brilliant Review Dude 👍👍👍
much thanks
Verysickbeats but dat laffffffff :)
damn cool thang , bro ! greets from Germany !
very fun!
i know the mono can be used as a drum machine.. did you make the beat with it aswell? if not what would you suggest as a budget beat machine to pair with this?
i'm looking to create dark coldwave tracks and then have some fun creating house/trance/gender fluid techno on the side
p.s. i'm not a keyboardist or know what the hell i'm doing, i just wanna twist knobs all day and make out of this world funky sounds
you sound like a sp404 type of guy ua-cam.com/play/PL14pM4bMkDLmdv3-r7X9vb0qZ_YvSL29w.html
That little flute sequence at 3:18 is straight out of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop circa 1969 - great stuff!
thanks for sharing!
Been looking for one. Got 2 guys talking 220 which is cool💎 can't wait til I cop one. Seeing that you had a vid. I have to click on it
salute
One of my favorite monologue videos. So does anyone have any advice when choosing between a monologue and arturia microbrute? Is there any functions that one has that the other does not?
Bought the Black 1 today after listening to all the synths in person and I choose Korg Monologue. Reason Instant playing and tweaking and saving and on the go and osc are super fat when dry and got a great deal. Im going to add a pro one when it comes out or model d to too and then a berhinger 808 when they come out.
thats awesome
Cool review
much thanks
Great video, well explained....thanks!!!
my pleasure
Awesome video man
much thanks
It's just me myself and I! Hahaha....nice review. Getting to the point!
LOL thanks
Are there any significant differences or enhancements from the original besides the colour????
not to my knowledge but anyone can feel free to chime in LOL
haven't seen a demo with the red one, this is dope
thanks for watching
💯
salute
Thank you!
my pleasure
I want one!!!!!
super fun
im so gunna get one of these!
How many sounds does it come with?
i believe around 80 presets unless im mistaken but u can design you own as well
Nice review Bro..
much thanks
You so SOLD that one to me that I got out 'n got me one! and yes, I wen "oo" ( 3.55 ) too :)
awesome
Hey, can you play stuff over a sequence without recording it into the sequence?
yes but remember it's monophonic
Super!!!
thanks for watching
Good vidy . . Thanks !
my pleasure
but while adjusting and playing can i record it at the same time? to create sort of a live recording?
and if i get that does the nobs and switches work in maschine programme? or are the controllers just working on a particular program hmm? thx!!
i don't have maschine so i can't answer that, and you adjust while recording live in your DAW
i like red monologue
yeah its nice
Question: Can you use the audio in, sequencer and filter to filter gate a polyphonic pad from another synth?
im gonna take a wild guess and say YES even tho i never tried it at the time of this response LOL
You can, but mind that audio input s mono, and pads use to be recorded in stereo
I don't know if the synthisizer has a good sound of track and sequence but the sequence sounds are good .
salute
Knee Deep for those young heads that didn’t know 👍🏿
yessir
Lol nice acid sounds man.. Its either this or the Bass Station for me... tough call,
salute
I was thinking about getting the Monologue, but that was shot down in less than 30 seconds of watching this video, 28 seconds to be exact! I wouldn't want it if only one note at a time can be played. I'm out.
thanks for feedback LOL u may prefer minilogue instead
@@Verysickbeats Thanks. It seems like a cool synthesizer, especially for me, because I have little piano skills and it actually might be a good keyboard for me. I had an Erlewin upright grand piano, I believe that's the brand name, and the only electric keyboard I had was a Casio SK-1 Sampler !!!
Thoughts on the sp 404a?
so far, its just a gimmick until i gather more useful info, trust me imma keep it real! LOL
One note at a time?! Nope I'm out.
Edit: Yeah, my initial comment is unfair. After watching a video about monophonic vs polyphonic, I've readjusted my attitude toward monophonic synths. Monologue is actually a great synth and I love the sounds it produces. But what I love most is that sounds I make make with it. I still love the ability to make chords though so I would be on the fence if I were out to by my first synth. If I were building a small collection (assuming I was serious in music production) I might be ok with buying this.
LOL thanks for the feedback
@@Verysickbeats Nah man that's shitty feedback. I changed my mind and updated my initial post.
Not just knee deep
Is it connected to a computer?
What do you mean whether it is connected?
macprovid.vo.llnwd.net/o43/hub/media/1001/12857/13_monologue_rear.jpg
The description also says "No computer used during this video."
ricky castillo the pre sets are built in *no midi*
name of the first track?
jfilt YT intro beat
Watch with subtitles… yeah yeah yeah
lol
I'm getting a subsequent 37 in a couple of days but man this review is making me want this too. I'm not sure but I feel like this may have something that the sub37 doesn't which would be highly weird considering the size, price and user interface. Help me decide if I should add this to my arsenal please. Especially since it's a mono synth as well as the sub37 is. PLEASE
depends what you wanna do and what your budget is. if you don't mind smaller and less keys, i like the monologue but i would take a sub37 don't get me wrong LOL
@@Verysickbeats thanks man
Why does every review I see of this thing the people are going out of their way to use the most sharpest ear fatiguing sounds?
it’s like you purposely skip over any smooth sound with a good roundness to it & you could play something sharp and undesirable that’ll create a headache I just don’t understand 🤦🏾♂️ the only decent sound u played was bass ..
Great explanation video but because of the sounds I’m a wound up not purchasing it .
thanks for feedback
Not just knee deep!
LOL
I sold my Korg Monologue .why beacuse it had preset sounds it and I couldn't seem to get any good unique sounds out of it. Don't get me wrong it's a great starter synth but I prefer the arturia microbrute . It has no preset sounds .you can make sounds from scratch. I'm not Dissing Korg for making the Monologue but it's not the synth for me
you can start from scratch on the monologue as well as change every last sound but thanks for sharing
@4:45 anyone else hearing Da Funk by Daft Punk?
salute
Dat lafffff
lol
1:49 is anyone got no to tell this guy that batteries contain electricity? Or do we let it slide another two years?
Gregg Bruce we let it slide Karen
no electricity hehehe wow
lol
I was going to buy it. But watched some reviews on it. No thanks. Its a pice of junk
thanks for the feedback
piece of junk? lmao it's one of the best mono synths on the market even in 2022.
too bad it doesn't have a filter envelope
Clayton Brown that's actually incorrect. It only has one envelope generator but the envelope and lfo can both control the filter (simultaneously, too)... Furthermore you can set the amp to gate mode (like an sh101) and set the envelope to control only the filter. Or use the envelope on the amp and set the lfo to one shot mode so it acts like a dedicated filter envelope.
.
That's where guitar pedals are useful there pretty cheap. Or hell theres kits od diy videos and kits out there if you want to actually learn something
too bad there is no tuning knob on the front panel instead of inside the menu
