Korg multi/poly native: First Look and Listen, Micro-review! (Live from Margaritaville)

video upload by Keith Crosley

"At long last, Korg multi/poly native has arrived! Now you can have the awesome virtual analog sound of multi/poly on your desktop (in standalone mode) or as a VST in your DAW. Of course, it sounds exactly like the hardware... Which is to say, it sounds wonderful. I run through some of my previous Korg multi/poly patches (featured in my previous three-part review and deep dive series), talk briefly about the 3 oscillators, give you a quick look at the interface, and show off a few new wavetable sounds based on the "timbral extraction" techniques from KRC Orchestral Impressions. Also, I'm wasting away in Margaritaville -- literally -- so grab your shaker of salt and join me for this yacht-rock-a-go-go episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show.
