These three series of effects can be independently switched on\/off, and you can adjust the wet\/dry ratio of the effects separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signal is routed through the effects and output to a two-band parametric EQ with adjustable low and high bands, so you can adjust the final character of the sound.

While sharing its sleek layout, knob-per-function workflow and high-quality construction with the best-selling minilogue, monologue is a truly unique new synth for all types of musicians; featuring new voicing and sound sculpting abilities – at an amazing price. The monologue's completely new filter, modulation, drive, and LFO can generate powerful basses and sharp leads, creating awesome mono sounds that showcase its single-voice design. The step sequencer has also been dramatically expanded, allowing more intuitive and more complex editing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title_type_c\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"header2\"\u003eRedesigned monophonic analog circuitry.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column_text_type_c\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box_text_type_c\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe monologue contains monophonic analog synthesizer circuitry that builds on the circuitry of the minilogue. But that doesn’t mean that the monologue is simply a one-voice model of the minilogue. It’s a monophonic beast with stunning power that comes from a redesigned envelope section, modulation routing, and a filter with powerful low-end punch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe structure is 2VCO, 1VCF, 1EG, 1VCA, and 1LFO. In addition to the same distinctive circuits as on the minilogue (such as the wave shaping that shapes the overtones of the oscillator, and a sync\/ring switch), the filter section uses a two-pole filter to deliver aggressive sound. Newly featured is a drive circuit that adds overtones and distortion to the sound, letting you generate fat basses and sharp lead sounds to your heart's content. The LFO rate can be adjusted into an unprecedentedly ultra-high-speed range to generate crazy space-shattering sounds, or switched to one-shot mode to act, in a sense, as an additional envelope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe keyboard section features the acclaimed slim keybed of the minilogue and the MS-20 mini. To make monologue a synth that any musician can immediately pick up and play, the keyboard covers the E–E range of notes - just like a guitar or bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Korg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51199818826023,"sku":"MONOLOGUEBK","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1321\/5233\/files\/5_monologueBK_top-32cc13ca702b7f91acf682021bbaab6e.jpg?v=1774460275"}],"url":"https:\/\/asoundeducation.com\/collections\/synthesizers.oembed","provider":"A Sound Education Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
