Korg Monologue - Bass Sounds #1 

Thanks man! Glad to hear those!

Wow you got it!!!

Ya baby its Bootsy....or Bernie....ahahahah

Hey thanks, I'm glad it did help you!

agree haha. ive seen many other videos showing the soundscaping possibilities but your video shows just how dope this thing is

Thanks dude, glad you like it!

Cyberbird86 Thanks.

Not uuuuuuuuu#

Thanks :)

Wow :)

Thank you very much for your kind words Nik! Great to hear you got one of them! I'm seeing that your comment is a year old, I don't know how I didn't see it! Thanks anyway!

Thanks. I know BFG9000 :)

Same!

Hey! Tell me about your experience with the monologue please

amilkar 😥

Hey thanks !

Yeah, you can automate the octave (or say coarse) of VCO2. Not an option for VCO1 though.

Great for 80s style syn-brass!

Thanks ! Yes, there a huge universe of sound with this machine. And it teaches you.

you dont have to know music theory to have fun and make interesting music (: im sure your stuff sounds amazin

Thanks! The sequencer is playing 16th notes at about 120bpm. I can't exactly point out what you are referring to by "double time", can you explain more?

Thanks! I think it is a sample taken from an ambient song, I don't remember exactly. It comes from the DAW.

Thanks! No you cannot put samples into the Monologue, it's a synthesizer. I mean there are synths with sample capabilities but this one is not one of them :)

Thanks ! I did not, they aren't synced. I play them both manually. I know this doesn't make sense and sounds like old skool DJ stuff but, it was just more practical. To sync them there are two options: One is over your DAW. Connecting the Monologue via USB and connecting the iPad via iRig Midi. You can choose this option if your soundcard has only one midi input. Second option is, again with iRig, use the "Midi Thru" port of the iRig and assign the Monologue as the master controller. Basically the Monologue would route to Midi In on the iRig, and Midi Thru from iRig goes to iPad. This second option you can sync them without any computers, and the third option is that adding Midi Out > Soundcard Midi In routing to the second option, to have the second option also with DAW...

Thanks for the great explanation!

Tarık Keskin yeah good explanation, thanks!

Hello, it took me about three weeks to get familiar with this. And another month to master it. But I knew about synths before, it's not my first synth. But this thing is just practical it has lots of shortcuts to cool things.

Thanks Simon! Drum sounds are coming from an iOS app called DM1.

The Microbrute is definitely more powerful, but since it can't save presets you have to really understand what you're doing if you want to be able to do it again later. The Monologue is less powerful but way easier to use if you're not interested in becoming a synthesis expert. They both sound really good.

I had both. Sold the microbrute. Monologue is better imo. I'd go monologue or bass station 2.

Thank you. It is because you can program four parameters to each of the sixteen steps of the Monologue's sequencer. So like for example in steps 5 and 13, I program the VCO2 to have the noise waveform particularly in steps 5 and 13. So maybe some accents or other effects on other steps and so on.

You just play the sequencer on top of a drum machine or a sample from your DAW, It's simple actually. You can create a basic sequence just using octave notes actually, the important thing is how to edit it.

Yes, they are the same bpm as Monologue can show on it's screen the bpm. With Volca it's barely possible because you have no indication of bpm, however Volca has the bpm in increments of one, which means it wouldn't set a bpm like 123,47. So it's not impossible but difficult to beatmatch with other stuff. But hey, DJ's used to beatmatch different records by hand, putting stickers on vinyls. There is a moment at 7:27 btw where I miss the beat. It's not always easy not using a sync cable.

is there an advantage to not using a sync cable?

felixucoff Thanks! Slider is assigned to pitch bend.

Hi. I synced it manually (I pressed play button on the DM1 right on the first beat of Monologue. Or the opposite I don't remember).

Nop, it's DM1 (an iOS drum machine app).

Appreciate your input, but there is no other synth so..

@@tarikkeskin effects or sounds

@@NatLifeSounds You are not gonna find raw sounds here, sorry! However what I do, helps musicians to understand what it may sound like in a record or mix, which I think is very useful. Again sorry!

@@tarikkeskin oooo, that makes me so curious, any chance you lift the veil and let us know how you process the sound or which effect units you use in this demo?

@@artificiusintelligence4996 Maybe I can write that down in the info section yes. Many other tutorials exist on youtube regardging the plugins.

Soundcard is Steinberg UR22. I use DAW preamps in Presonus Studio One.

Monologue in my opinion, is a versatile synth, however, it has a slight tendence to delivering bass sounds. The filter is seriously good compared to a entry-level synth. You'll get tons of resonance, great resonance that builds up good deep sounds. In this video check out around 6:30. I crank up the resonance a lot, actually that is a resonant patch, I mean it relies on both VCOs and the filter itself actually. You may think of it like this: This has three VCOs actually, one being the filter. The filter can self resonate and delivers a sine wave. Please check that guys video to understand it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HX2ytAd8pMI.html

Thanks Tarik. I think I will be committing to one soon.

I own one too....they are serious bass monsters.....shakes my whole house if need be

Glad i askd aboot the monologue insteddddd

Bingocommitted

As far as I observed, the sound it makes can go well below 20hz so yeah a sub would do good about that. It's incredible that the wave shape is still solid at those frequencies, sound is very clear.

It is the drive knob found on Monologue. Check 00:36

It is currently at around 400 bucks.

Cam Rodriguez Yeah thanks! I think you can create magnificent layers of multiple sequences on opz!

Lol xD. Come on it's bassy enough.
