Korg multi/poly Analog Modeling Synth: First Look, Overview & Review!

The latest Korg R&D synth—the Korg multi/poly—just dropped outta nowhere, and I was lucky enough to snag one in stock (thanks, Zzounds!). Let's take a look and listen to this super-interesting, super-fun, badass monster synthesizer. In this video, I'm mostly talking about what's new and different vis-a-vis Korg wavetate and modwave. We'll surely be doing more videos about this thing in the future. And, OF COURSE, you can use KRC Mathwaves with it, 'cuz wavetables. Grab your waveshaper and get ready for some virtual-voice-cards-a-go-go virtual analog goodness! (Spoiler alert: My quick review is this synth is rad.)
