A new analog era? Well, maybe! “These instruments are capable of sounds that go beyond existing analog synthesizers”<\/em>\u00a0… Korg’s own words. They sound promising.<\/p>\n

The Prologue-16 and Prologue-8 look extremely interesting. And highly professional. Back are the good old wheels (pitchbend \/ mod wheel) we’re all used to, back is the internal PSU (thanks, Korg!), back are standard-sized keys (thanks as well …!).<\/p>\n

It definitely looks as if Minilogue and Monologue were those stepping stones to the pro synth that now has arrived.<\/p>\n

The Prologue comes “with powerful analog circuits that are descended directly from the earlier models of the series, together with a newly developed digital multi engine and gorgeous DSP-based effects, prologue expands the variety of sounds and the possibilities for user customization.”<\/em> (Korg)<\/p>\n

The bigger Prologue-16 costs about 2000 USD.\u00a0Given the fact that this is a huge sounding, well-equipped 16-voice analog synth with 5 octaves, the price is unbeatable. And in case you’re happy with 8 voices, the even cheaper Prologue-8 will fit the bill …<\/p>\n

These instruments are “Made in Japan”, which usually stands for quality and reliability. We’re looking forward to exploring the Prologue soon …<\/p>\n
