Learning The Multi/Poly: Waveshaper Oscillator

video upload by Alec Sea

"Join me on my quest to learn the new Korg Multi/Poly! In this video, I'm demonstrating the Waveshaper oscillator in the Korg Multi/Poly. I demonstrate the input oscillator and how different parameters affect it, I use the default Berkeley waveshaper to process the input oscillator, I assign an envelope to modulate gain into the waveshaper for a more dynamic sound and demonstrate a few different waveshapers.

Korg Multi/Poly: Favorite Presets So Far

video upload by Alec Sea

"In this video, I'm playing some of my favorite Multi/Poly presets. It sounds really good!"

Korg multi/poly CS-80 Style Brass

video upload by Alec Sea

"Noodling on a CS-80 inspired preset I made for the Korg multi/poly. Using my new Native Instruments Kontrol S61 mk III with poly aftertouch. The bass drone and the brass sound are from the multi/poly, percussion is from the wavestate and UAFX Golden in 224 Hall mode provides the reverb. The multi/poly has a pretty good reverb, but this sound needs a Lexicon-style reverb. I used Arturia's CS-80 V as a reference, since I sadly don't have access to a real CS-80!"

multi/poly Maximum Voice Count Tested!

Learning The Multi/Poly: Filters Part I

video upload by Alec Sea

"Join me on my quest to learn the new Korg Multi/Poly! In this video, I'm demonstrating the basics of the filter section in the Multi/Poly. I go through the classic modeled filters at various resonance settings, I show the crossfade and band pass modes of the SEM filter, and demonstrate the two band reject filters. Next I show how you can modulate filter cutoff with the filter LFO and the filter envelope.

First of August (OXI ONE MkII, opsix, multi/poly, wavestate)

video upload by Alec Sea

"First of August was performed live using the Oxi One MkII sequencer, Korg opsix, multi/poly and wavestate synthesizers and Roland TR-6S drum machine. The FM e-piano from opsix is running into the Line 6 HX ONE and Meris Mercury X in series for a lovely wash of reverb. The TR-6S is running into the UAFX Golden in Percussion Plate mode. Multi/poly is using the built in effects. Wavestate is a dry bass sound. There is no post-processing."
