Korg Monologue Analog Synthesizer - Black

Introducing the Korg Monologue Analogue Synthesizer in black, a powerful and portable monophonic synth that delivers bold sound design with sleek style.

Based on the acclaimed Korg Minilogue, this model has been refined and re-voiced to provide musicians, producers, and live performers with a deeper level of expression and control.

Designed in close collaboration with Richard D. James (Aphex Twin), the Monologue features an upgraded step sequencer, expanded modulation, and micro-tuning functions that redefine creative sound shaping.

With its anodised black aluminium panel, compact keyboard, and rugged construction, it’s built for both studio production and live performance.

Enhanced Quality Hardware

At the heart of the Korg Monologue Black Edition lies an upgraded analogue engine that sets it apart. The newly designed 2-pole VCF filter gives extra bite and grit, adding raw energy to basslines and sharper character to leads.

A dedicated Drive control boosts the low end while enhancing the presence of higher registers, ensuring punchy, dynamic tones that cut through in any mix.

The advanced 16-step sequencer has been completely redesigned with high-quality step buttons, allowing for faster and smoother real-time edits. Musicians can now utilise motion sequencing with parameter locks to create evolving textures, or trigger transposition in real-time to build dynamic, shifting patterns.

Expanded LFO rates and broader modulation options offer more room to experiment, while the new push-button and turn-knob controls ensure a streamlined, performance-ready workflow.

Sleek Ergonomic Design

The Monologue Black takes the spirit of the Minilogue and refines it into a more portable form factor. Its slimmer 25-key keyboard and lightweight build make it easy to transport. The anodised aluminium panel gives a modern, professional appearance.

The rigid chassis and rubber-coated knobs ensure durability, designed to withstand both heavy studio use and demanding live shows.

Beyond its look and feel, the Monologue has been carefully voiced with guidance from Richard D. James. The preset bank has been overhauled with a new collection of sounds, pushing the boundaries of what a compact monophonic synthesizer can achieve.

Expanded micro-tuning further broadens creative horizons, offering unconventional scales and tonalities for experimental musicians.

Creative Depth and Playability

The Korg Monologue Black is not only a tool for professionals but also highly accessible to newcomers. It comes loaded with 80 factory presets covering basses, leads, percussive hits, and experimental textures, and features 20 user slots that allow you to save your own sound designs.

This balance of ready-to-play sounds and programmable space makes it a flexible synth for both beginners and advanced users.

The built-in OLED oscilloscope is one of its standout features, providing a live visual of your waveform as you sculpt sounds.

This makes it easier to understand the relationship between controls and sound output, turning complex synthesis into a more intuitive and creative process.

Portable Power in a Tough Chassis

One of the Monologue’s biggest strengths is its adaptability. It can run on six AA batteries, giving you up to 8 hours of playtime, making it an excellent portable synthesizer for jam sessions, rehearsals, or live performances without being tied to a power supply.

Its compact build makes it easy to slip into a bag and take anywhere, ensuring your creative flow is never restricted by location.

With its durable construction, advanced features, and bold anodised black finish, the Korg Monologue Analogue Synthesizer Black Edition offers musicians a truly versatile tool that delivers robust sound design, portability, and striking aesthetics.
