Korg Mono Poly Analogue Synthesizer

via this auction

"This is a really flexible and creative synth with a lot of sonic potential and some nice extras (fantastic arpeggiator, funky effects section) which make it a gem of a monosynth.

It has 4 VCO's which can be shared in 4-voice Polyphonic mode, or linked in Unison for versatile monophonic leads, which is its real strength. It has a unique share mode where it will destack the oscillators the more keys are pressed. Each VCO has its own level, 4 octave pitch, tune, and waveform type control. Waveforms include triangle, sawtooth, pulse width & PWM settings. There are separate controls for PWM intensity and PW width and the PWM can be modulated by either of the two LFOs or the filter envelope.

It has a great VCF filter section with its own envelope generator and lots of sonic flexibility with controls for cutoff, resonance, envelope intensity (positive or negative envelope) and keyboard track.

VCA section features its own full envelope control.

There are also 2 individual LFO's which can be used to modulate the oscillator Pulse Width, frequency,pitch, the filter and Arpeggiator independently.

Other cool tricks up its sleeve include chord memory and an onboard effects section in which the oscillators have a variety of ways to be synced and cross modulated and frequency modulated (via LFO or filter envelope).

The built-in arpeggiator is very flexible and a real creative tool: can run all 4 VCO's at a time or cycle through each voice (with independent tuning/waveform settings) per note!

There's also portamento, CV/Gate, VCF and VCO mod inputs, arp trigger, white noise generator, and the two pitch/mod wheels can be assigned to control different LFO destinations, the pitch osc 1 or the filter."
