🎹 This Sequencer Isn’t What You Think – Korg Multi/Poly Secrets

🎛️ Beginner’s Guide to Motion Sequencing on the Korg Multi/Poly

In this video, I take you through the basics of motion sequencing on the Korg Multi/Poly. Unlike a traditional step sequencer, motion sequencing records parameter changes—like filter cutoff, pitch, or LFO speed—and plays them back in sync.

I’ll show you how to create a simple one-note arpeggiator, explain how the lanes (pitch, timing, shape, and modulation) work, and demonstrate tricks like probability, rests, gates, scaling, and using motion sequencing to modulate filters and resonance.

This tutorial is aimed at beginners who want to get started without diving into the advanced complexities.
