Korg's latest flagship

The Prologue analogue synthesizer; an ultimate multi-voice, multi-timbre and multi-engined keyboard synth available in 2 different versions. This one, the Prologue-8 offers eight voices and 49 keys; featuring nearly all the same features as it's bigger brother, just in a more compact and affordable setup.

The Prologue is the next generation step from Korg's hugely popular 4 voice minilogue and monophonic monologue. Korg have taken this well loved format and expanded it to create a flagship synth that can handle anything you throw at it. The Prologue's rich and vibrant tonal palette and gorgeous DSP-based effects can handle the demands of studio producers, home synth enthusiasts, stage performances and even a full tour. 

Updated analogue  filter with drive

An all-new filter design for the Prologue synthesizer. This smooth-sounding filter features a dedicated drive circuit for adding harmonic richness. While heavy overdrive can rob a signal of its bass impact, this switch allows you to add sizzling distortion while keeping the low end rock solid.

Special Prologue single- and dual-timbre modes

Like many Korg synths, Prologue offers multiple ways to create custom patches. In addition to single-timbre mode, Korg Prologue features three dual-timbre modes for combining sounds. Split mode allows you to assign two different sounds to two different sections of the keyboard, while Layer mode allows you to play two sounds simultaneously across the entire keyboard. Crossfade mode offers even more performance potential, basically combining the two modes to create a smooth sonic transition between zones on the keyboard.
