@@rustboymusic I’m honestly considering doing exactly this. Selling my Summit and some of my other gear to fund a prophet 10 or polybrute ... so many options
@@MilesAwayOfficial I was really surprised how good prologue hold it's own against ob-6. For me Summit is very... hm... kind of static... but this is for sure a personal thing.
You Nailed it when you said, “the prologue is one of the most underrated synths on the market”. I would guess that Korg thought they had a hit product on their hands and were downright cocky about thier design, only to see it inexplicably ignored and/or dismissed. I have owned around 40 synths abd samplers and I’ve sold so many. The prologue is my “to-the-grave” synth. The OB-6 is damn special too!
I think some people like me thought it was just a glorified Minilogue... I did until recently. I tried the keybed* for a second nd was surprised that it had a very nice feel so I went and find out more about it via of that. *The synth wasn’t even plugged
Hit product lol hahah. Nobody liked it in Japan, it just stayed on the shelves here like every other recent KORG synth. There's a running joke here about it, that started during the Tokyo demo. Basically the KORG team were there with the other brands and it was very busy (pre-pandemic!). Roland/Yamaha had done their thing (other brands too) but there was no sign of Prologue which wasn't expected. Turned out the unit they brought had the tuning fault.They tried another but ended up having a demonstration musician who had to use another companies product instead due to the time slot. So we started calling it, Tsumari! ('in other words') because it's a synth that can be replaced by any other brand - and that will always be better than this shitbox. Prologue has a passible sound. So does an upturned bucket in the right hands lol. Get a musical clue. Use something else. In the synth world modularity + maximal expression is key. That's why you'll see people hyping native aftertouch on hydra (even though many of them don't know how to use it). Many times you won't need a feature. Simple works too. But if you are entering the synth world of specs and LFO's more is....well. More. That and it's really nice if it actually works haha. In a culture where quality and money are premium? You never buy a feature limited product when many others exist with equivalent or better features for a similar price. That just makes you an idiot. Prologue will be remembered more as a meme by Japan. But enjoy whatever you like. It was a failure =P and cost the company alot. Just ask their engineers.
Agreed. Have a prologue 16 too. Underrated machine; If you see for example what the hybrid engine adds and for this price range... it's insane; People pay 3 or 4 times more for prophets or oberheims with less sound design options; I love those synths too; I have a REV2 as well and love it. It's just the new OBX8 e.g. is seriously overpriced and clearly trying to milk its Oberheim name without being that wow imo. Call me a whinger but the many comparisons on RU-vid with the new OBX8 vs the old OBXa, and I feel the old model still has more oomph on many sounds.... No offense...
Yes, I would love to see a more in depth comparison of the two - not because one wins or loses - both are incredibly useful for what they do depending on what track you're laying down, etc.
I have both, theyre both solid 80s tone machines. Prologue is a great synth, its very simple but it covers many synth basics very well. Ob6 is honestly miles ahead in all respects but the price reflects that. Theres some overlap in raw osc and filter but once the envelopes are in play the ob6 is a winner. Also the harmonic distribution is the key difference, you can isolate any frequency range on the ob6 and its always musical, not so on the prologue that requires knowing sweet spots. The effects on the prologue are the best ive heard on a synth.
That's a great analysis! I agree 100% with what you said here. The sweet spot on the OB6 (and on vintage Oberheims) is just so ridiculously big, it's very hard to make it sound bad. Prologue and most other modern synths you do have to work a bit to find em. But the FX rock! Thanks for watching and check out my Custom Presets for both OB6 and Prologue :)
Sound very similar. Interesting comparison. I have 2 MInilogue XD's slaved together for 8 voices. And honestly love them. 8 voices is fine. The digital osc gives you more timbre to work with. Add the EFX. Super easy to program. Agree, the Korg analog does the trick. It's very up front if you want it to be. Very analog.
Really Cool! I've got the Korg Minilogue XD alongside my OB6 which has almost the same Soundengine as the Prologue (not in all aspects but worth the purchase!) to ad the Korg tamber to my mixes. There definitely are some similarities but in the end they complement each other very good. Its easy to add "a glimpse of the future" to a vintage analog Production with the Korg. Love it!
Hey, great videos!! There is really no way to choose one synth from another when it come to analog poly synths. I've been a VCO engineer for decades and the circuitry is almost identical in all of these synths. You can basically create the same patch on most analog synths, even DCO based architecture. The filters and amps are the same way. If you know your way around an oscillator, filter and amplifier circuit, you don't need a real expensive synth to achieve the same sounds. The price difference is in all the buzzers and whistles usually and how much you want the synth to remember after creating a sound. That said, I am an addict anyway. I have everything under the sun including these and the rest of what Sequential, Moog, Waldorf, Roland, Behringer, Arturia, Oberheim etc have made in the past present and future pre-orders. Needless to say I still can't get enough. It's not the this vs that scenario for me, it's what genius editing the manufacturer has done to design the different sounds into the factory presets. There are an infinite amount of sounds you can get out of any similar synthesizer so even something as low priced like the Deepmind 12 or Prologue 8 voice, I can get to sound like an 8 voice Oberheim. If you get the 16 voice Prologue you get a bit more low end. Most of the newer synths have the sub oscillators to bring up the bass plus more gain on the amps. The Prophet 10 is a great synth and also has low end but may not have as much as a newer circuit design because it was designed as a reissue so the CEM chips are the same. These chips are also in the old Oberheims which may be a consideration for Sequential to reissue an OBXa. Still the output of those synths do not match the power of my Andromeda A6 or my current venture tricked out a Omega 8 Code with full options. Anyway, thanks for doing the videos, they are very informative! Cheers!
Hey Rix, I have a question about the low end on a Prologue 16 vs the 8. I understand the LF comp makes a difference, but do you think the same thing (or really close) could be achieved with a good compressor like the EHX Black Finger and/or a crossover with bi-amp setup? Mainly for live use of course, I'm assuming DAW options like multiband comp would be able to approximate the effect of the 16's low end comp pretty well on tracks. I found an 8 for a decent deal locally, can't decide if it's worth another $600 for the 16 (cheapest I can find one for used) when my playing style/genre wouldn't benefit from the extra voices
I met a guy last week (bought his Deluge off him) that said he had an OB-6 but couldnt stop it from sounding like the 80's no matter what he did........... I told him that's why its great........ he shooed me away quickly once I handed the cash over for the Deluge....... Even if its when I retire I will own an OB-6 lush machine ! ( I have a rev2 and its a beast! but it simply cant replicate/match that SEM filter) neither can the prologue!
@@MilesAwayOfficial Disagree. You can make an OB-6 sound 80s as a musician, or you can bring your own baggage from the 80s (I know young people that don't think the OB-6 sounds like the 80s because they're born around 2005 - 2010). It's a synth from 2016, not 1986 - it's not hard to NOT sound like the 80s with an OB-6. Similarly, a Moog can be played in modern music without it sounding like it's stuck in the 1970s, unless you play it like you're making music in the 1970s.
@@MilesAwayOfficial Definitely will, but with mixed feelings as it is out of reach right now. Thus the goal of getting an OB-6 for that gorgeous Oberheim sound. 🫠👍
Ob 6 has one of the best sounding notch filters , just behind the original SEM modules. Having said that the Prologue stands up as great sounding synth. Its just different and very Korg.
I judge a synth on how much does it move me. Are the sounds makin me emotional? And the korg does that. I have the ob6 and while it sounds great, the prologue does too. My 9nly question to decide is, do i need them both?
after seeing this video i really love the proloque so much more, they are both unique , and those user ocilators in the korg makes it so special, for the retro smooth creamy sound the ob6 is so good , best to buy them both like u did
Thanks for the comparison! The Prologue lured me, since I've had a Minilogue XD and sent it back. I loved the sound, but couldn't get along with the small keys and 4-voices. Well, the bigger brother is simply the answer. If one doesn't need the sequencer that is.
Good choice! I fully agree with this - the XD sequencer is a bit of a loss, but you can't beat the sound of a bi-timbral 16 voice synth :) If you haven't already, check out my Custom Patches for Korg Prologue, think you would dig em!
Great comparison video Miles Away. You really did a great job here. Both synths are amazing poly synths. What the Prologue can do with a minimum amount of menu diving is incredible. What the Sequential synths are great at and what the Prologue is great at IMO means that they are all great. It all depends on what you want to use them for and if you can accept each of their limitations? The voice stealing is what stopped me from getting a Prophet-6 a couple of years ago. I love how it sounds but the 6 voice limitation was disappointing because I was spoilt by the Prologue. Now that there is a Prophet 10 out I was tempted again by the latest Prophet but in these times where my music income has been affected drastically with no income from shows, the P10 is out of my reach and the Prologue does such a great job that it effectively puts out my interest in other modern poly synths.
Late reply but I totally agree - the fact that the Prologue is still slept on despite being the only 16 Voice VCO poly under $2k is mind blowing. Modern cult classic!
Nice job. I know that you’re (rightly) focused on the differences, but I have to say that when I began listening to demos of the Prologue, it immediately evoked OB-6 vibes for me. At the very least, they both sound uniquely sparkly and pleasing in those high end harmonics that make pads come to life. But with it’s beefy fundamental - not _quite_ Moog beefy but getting there - I’d pick the Prologue for basses and leads. So as an all-rounder, I’d have to give the edge to the Prologue.
Totally agree here and thanks for watching! I think a lot of the similarities come down to the fact that these are the 2 only (afaik) vco Polysynths with 12db per octave filters, vs 24db. This creates that “sparkle” on pads. Agreed though the prologue is such a beast of an all arounder!
Great comparison. Helped me make up mind (can't afford both, at the moment). They both sound great, but the OB-6 filter is something I just can't do without. I do think it's a tough call and a very worthy comparison. Nice work. Thanks!
Well said! Late reply but you really can't go wrong with either. Prologues can be found for pretty cheap used sometimes too though which is a great deal, very underrated keyboard.
This is an epic comparison video, you did a great job showcasing the strengths of each synth. That multimode filter is a killer, hands down, but I'm curious if there are any 'Logue User Fx that can come close to some of the bandpass/notch/highpass shenanigans of the OB-6.
Thx for watching! Good question dude - I know the Dirtbox Synth filters are solid for extra LP/HP/BP but the resonance on them is pretty.. meh. I would 100% pay for a great sounding User FX filter that emulated the SEM sound!
I understand the sound is very important. But what about price? In Japan, Sequential OB-6: over 500,000yen KORG prologue 16: about 200,000yen Price means nothing?
Learned another trick here ! Lfo voice unsyning on prologue , Thks superb video , the ob6 is on my list , the prologue is more 3 D tnaks to it's punchy enveloppe and transient , the ob6 is more layback and it's like some ice cream , a pure beauty ... OB6 for me is textures ... while Prologue is a more active / dynamic presence .... Thks for this video :!!:! Curious if you checked the Sequential rev 2 , its bi timbral capacity is a plus over the OB6 but man this OB6 filter modulated is a pure beauty ...
Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely agree, they compliment well. I've played a rev 2 but don't own one. Its a cool synth but the raw tone wasn't my favourite. I've got a Prophet 6 for those Dave Smith sounds :)
@@MilesAwayOfficial Tested a rev 2 and you confirm what i've found , for the price gap between rev 2 and the korg i would raver spend more and go ob6 in fact .... Did ya tried the super 6 ? it's more a lush jupiter / juno style sounding synth but really capable in sound design at the same time ...
Great video, both synths are amazing but if I had to chose I’d have to go with the Prologue. Between the 16 voices, Multi Engine and being able to layer 2 presets as well as split, plus you didn’t even use the built in compressor, I’d get so many more types of sounds. It’s pretty much like getting 4 synths in one, 2 analog synths and 2 digital synths ...kinda sorta lol. And I’ve heard you can sequence the 2 layers separately from an external sequencer? I’m definitely going to get the Prologue 16
It’s an amazing synth! All of what you said is true, just note there is no separate fx or output for the second layer, so I find for professional recording it works better as one mega synth to layer vs 2-4 separate patches!
was just about to list my pro 16 for sale, man i pulled down that listing quick! i defo need to spend more time also check out the digital multi mode filters for the Korg it really opens up this synth further
Regarding SUB osc on the Prologue. Actually you don't have to sacrifice any of the 2+1 osc for that. If you set the prologue in "mono" voice mode and then turn the "voice mode depth" up you get a sub =)
Totally! if you are happy with mono! I mean that for a poly patch you have to give up one oscillator to get a sub osc in poly mode. Thanks for watching! :)
Hey, reg filters, i am pretty sure the low pass filter on the Prologue can sound as silky (with resonance) as on the OB-6, when you dial back the VCOs to about 70%, you had them on full 1023, right? Full volume saturates the signal at the filter inputs, do you get thst growl. This is separate from the filter drive section (which also needs to be off for silkness). In regards to low pass filter expression from warm to smooth to growl to super aggressive i'd say the Prologue has way greater range. Where the OB-6 is superior, is the state variable sweeps, the cutting bandpass and. high pass
@@MilesAwayOfficial I got one here in Australia... I guess your "Miles Away" though !!! Actually its a modulation beast and can do it all except OB-6 SEM..... ahhhhh
Any chance you could compare Prologue against a Prophet Rev 2 - or offer your thoughts? Seems Prologue sounds nicer but lacks the mod matrix, sequencer. It will be my only synth and on paper the answer is Rev2 (I don't care too much about after touch) but every time I hear Prologue 16 custom sounds. I'm tempted back to get the better (IMO) raw sounding Prologue....
I’ve gotten this request so many times! I really want to. Unfortunately I haven’t seen one for rent or for a good price on the used market recently. If someone ends up lending me one or I can find a great deal I will definitely do this video
sorry this one I just made for this video, but you would like my song Void Drifting it is very similar! open.spotify.com/track/73nPEE8hhJBM4HnkKs3gRQ?si=53bb917210b94bf5
Thank you for this I have the Prolouge 8 and love the sound thinking about gettin OB desktop. Can you name some tutorials to learn more about the Prolouge? Thanks
Nice comparison. I struggle to wade through the typical oscillator/oscilloscope comparisons. Really, how much does it matter? Do you have any thoughts on the Prologue vs the Miniilogue XD?
Nice comparison vid. I accidently ended up with 2 Korg Minilogue Xd modules and poly chained them to get 8 voices. Works great and honestly I can get an amazing VCO based sound. To be fair, I am using a vintage stereo outboard EQ and compressor and some nice external effects. When processed, I wonder if I couldn't match or exceed most Analog Poly synths?
the OB6 sounds great but the Prologue is no slouch. Prologue has such a great sound for a modern synth, highly underrated. If they come out with a Prologue xd, with expanded filter section, mod section, lfo, Fx's, digital osc and a touch keys style keybed or some sort of extended expression control, I would buy it in a second. However they have to keep the sound, no matter what creative bells and whistles they throw at a Prologue 2, it has to have the sound it has right now or no bueno.
Agreed, I'd be all over a Prologue XD, that sounds like honestly the perfect synth, as long as they add a 4 pole filter option! For the OB6, I actually just posted an update to this review, check it out on my channel if you wanna hear more for another opinion!
@@MilesAwayOfficial Filter section has real analog options and then expanded digital options from the opsix/ modwave library. the ability to have two filters at once like the polybrute would be nice too. I am taking a digital/ analog hybrid that has no compromise and is mpe ready with some sort of expression system in the keybed. A synth to end all synths.
actually... i think the Prologue sounds more fat and detailed much of the time. And i know it cannot do as many tricks as the OB6 but the overall sound is just better ... deeper and more detailed. More alive maybe and more majestic like a Jupiter. The OB6 is a great synth and overall can make more sounds but the sounds itself are not as great as the Prologue (at least to my ears on my Sennheiser HD650 headphones and Yamaha HS8 monitors)
Hey Miles. I bought your preset pack for the Prologue. How can I see the presets individually so I can add them to my preexisting library instead of having to have change libraries to use your sounds? Thanks.
Hey! Thanks for purchasing! The way the Prologue works it needs a 3rd party editor to manage individual patches out of sets. Look up the one from Dominique Bontemps as a start, I haven’t used one myself but that one I’ve heard is pretty good
When you open a library set with the Prologue Librarian software, it doesn't send it to the hardware until you click 'Send' or 'Send All' under 'Programs' at the top of the software window. But if you open a set that isn't loaded to the hardware, you can't see which program slots are empty in the hardware. So you need to write down the empty program numbers you want to load individual programs to. Then open the new library. Place the programs you want to send to the prologue in the program number position you want them to be by dragging into position or copy-paste (don't save the software library, or save a new version after reordering the programs). Then select the programs you want to send to the hardware storage drive (shift click or ctrl click for multiples) and click 'SEND' under 'Programs'. That will send just the selected programs to the numbers they are currently in. Before doing any of this you should back up your existing library and save in the computer. Also, user oscillators, FX, are not saved in the library software!! Also if you remove a user oscillator, the program can't remember settings from that oscillator. So even if you put the user osc back in the synth hard drive, it will load up with default settings of the user osc. I discovered this the hard way 😐
Hello Miles, I was wondering do you know how much of a difference between a Prologue 8 and Prologue 16? I’m thinking of getting one yet I have only small space left for synths and Prologue 8 is more ideal, but then watching this video made me reconsider further haha.
Hey! Thanks for watching, I've got a couple other videos on the Prologue you should check out on my channel too, but basically the biggest difference besides more voices is the analog low frequency compressor. It's really really nice and I must confess I leave it on most of the time for extra warmth, but it's not a dealbreaker, you can totally get away with Prologue 8 :)
Doesn’t the Pro’s resonator self oscillate (where the OB-6 does not)? Would you be able to get the smoother sweeps that the OB-6 has by lowering the res on the Pro?
When you discuss the square and triangle wave at around 6 minutes in, I just don’t hear much difference. Is that because after RU-vid upload / download the difference is gone, or is that because my ears are bad? In other words, if you do the comparison again by playing the RU-vid video, do you still hear the difference?
Great question. RU-vid compression definitely makes it less of a difference but the difference is definitely still there, It will be more apparent if you are listening on a hi-fi stereo or set of headphones with good bass response. To my ears the OB6 square wave sounds much richer in the low end! But it’s all subjective end of day. Thx for watching!
@@MilesAwayOfficial I used AKG K92 headphones. I think it does have a bit of a neutral profile, not too much bass. So maybe it is easier to hear on one of the many headphones that emphasize bass. I’ll try again later with a different one. But my ears are not in the best condition, so it could also be the case that I just can’t hear it. I do hear the differences in the filter character quite well.
@@jantuitman yea I think the difference is most apparent in the low end so that’s probably it if you aren’t using nearfield monitors! Thanks so much for watching Jan :)
I've owned both, prefer the P16 by far.. just sounds a lot nicer and is a lot quicker to make it sound good. Sold the rev2 kept the Prologue, (have a Prophet 10 r4 for my prophet needs and the OB-6 covers the rest)
I looking at one of these for pads but will have male vocals on it. The OB6 sounds great but huge. Do you think it takes up to much of space in a mix for vocals?
hey! Ob-6 is quite easy to mix in with vocals, its nowhere near as low mid/low end heavy as something like a Moog. My song BACK TO SLEEP is all done with the OB-6, give it a listen to see: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RIg5Bjb3O_s.html
That’s a hard question. If I had to pick only one synth, it will be the summit, But I’m lucky enough to have quite a collection and I find that I don’t use the summit as much as I used to because it’s very much a Chameleon. I really like synths with lots of unique character like the prologue
@@MilesAwayOfficial This video and the demo by Daniel Fisher is awesome, Just bought the Prologue 8. The 16 is sold out almost everywhere, chip shortage they say.
Hey! I did a whole video on this. The Prologue grabs me more with its sound, but the Summit is WAY more versatile. If I could only pick one as my only synth, I'd have to say Summit, but if you already have other synths, Prologue has more character.
@@MilesAwayOfficial thanks. I watched your video on both. It was great and informative, but you didn’t totally commit to which one you preferred. You gave a balanced assessment of each one’s best and worst points. I suppose it depends on what you are looking for. The one thing I find disappointing about the Prologue is it doesn’t have an audio input. It’s a shame. Thanks for your assessment. I think I agree. The Prologue certainly sounds stellar, so does the Summit, which as you say, seems greater overall package
I've had both (at the same time), sold both... prefer the OB-6 slightly tonally but liked the 5 octaves and some of the extras of the Prologue, can't go wrong with either. I always said you could get the prologue close to copying many OB-6 sounds, glad to see a video proving that. The OB-6 did have a slightly more raw sound, and the Prologue slightly more rounded (like Roland). Emotionally I connected with the OB-6 a bit more but the Prologue is no slouch. Replaced them with a Prophet 10 rev 4 (obviously different but I don't like having too many synths at once - these days and wanted a 4 pole filter back in my main analog poly), just that and a subsequent 37 for now.
Totally agree with your comparison! And man, I want a P10 so bad. I keep toying with the idea of selling a couple of my synths to fund one. Any regrets?
Had Korg made a desktop Prologue i would have bought a 16 voice one ages ago, however I now after 2 years have both the Pro 6 and OB6 desktop versions, and consequently I am unwilling to spend more money.
@@MilesAwayOfficial It sounds lovely, despite the similarities with the OB6 the PRO 6 has enough of a different flavour to make it worth the investment, in my opinion that is.
in fact the pro16 has nearly the character of the OB-6 filters, he wins for me with multi-engine 'n' user osc. comparison with drive off, compressor off for the korg powerhouse, really? pro16 is double+ voice and half prize. but when money doesn't play a role i go for 8voice schmidt's. ;-)
The OB6 filter is great, but it sound really generic in comparison with the growly, distorted one in the Prologue. As for the oscillators, the OB6 sounds really buzzy, bright. Even the triangle has lots of buzz. This makes the OB6 sound a bit less "dimensional" in comparison to Prologue. If OB6 sounds like an open palm slap, the Prologue sounds like a fist punch. However, the Prologue's harder character lends itself less to chord playing. Just my observation. Both sound great in their own right.
Great overview! Totally agree here. Both are amazing flavours to have. If you haven’t, check out my recent 3 year later review of the Prologue. It’s still a keeper!
Hey man, love your channel. I have an ob-6 and I love it. I’m looking for a good 61-key poly synth to pair with it. My obv first thought was the prophet rev2.. but I’m really interested in the open source aspect of the prologue. Do you think the prologue and ob-6 are a good match? Or do you think they both cover the same territory? They both have the 12db filter so I wasn’t sure. Just curious what you think. I dig the lo-fi, nostalgic, 80’s, indie pop vibe
Hey! Late reply but that is a very good, although specific combo. Both have a 12db filter, so you will miss out on a lot of classic warm round 24db sounds. If that doesnt matter to you then 100% get the combo, they are two of the vibiest keyboards and blend together perfectly + sound vintage. BUT if you want something more versatile, consider the Summit, I have videos on it. It complements the OB really well! I'm not the biggest Rev2 fan but its good too of course.
Seems like while the ob6 can't do as much as the prologue the sounds it can do it does very well - was that even a sentence? Great work man keep it up 👍
Well the Ob-6 wins in features having a Multifilter but I was disappointed it didn't sound anything like an Oberheim. Prophet-6 is a better comparison . I had both OB6 , P6 and the Prologue and kept the Prologue of those for having a more vintage sounding LP filter and all the digital Oscs and FX you can add. Most of my patches use those Multi OSCs. Now, Polybrute kills them all but still keeping the Prologue.
Oh wow! Jealous you have a polybrute! Hard to come by where I am ! How do you like it? And what don’t you think makes the ob sound like an oberheim? I think it definitely sounds like the SEM
@@MilesAwayOfficial I expected a lot from the OB-6 as I had two old SEMS and an OB-8 and really wanted a multifilter Poly but somehow I was too let down by the OB6 and didn't even use it. The Polybrute came to Los Angeles last week and I have been blown away every day at how it does great patches sounding like an OB-X; CS-80 and MS-20; which all were discreet synths so not so much sounding like a CEM based synth (P5, OB8. XA, etc.)
@@rewiremusic4540 wow - surprised to hear that, but to each their own! and that's awesome to hear about the Polybrute. Really tempted to sell the Summit to get one. What do you think?
@@MilesAwayOfficial I had a Peak and it was OK but I found it's analog osc approximations very cold. It could have been a good hybrid had it more digital stuff. The Hydrasynth filled that digital side for me but I will sell it when the Korg Modwave comes.
@@rewiremusic4540 appreciate the insight. I've never heard of the Modwave but will check it out. My feelings with the Summit is that it's a ton of fun to make sounds on, and is great for ambient sounds, but honestly since getting the OB6 I find it has sort of made the Summit sound "muddy and cold". It's hard to explain - like getting the OB6 made the Summit's slight flaws more apparent. I don't think it's a digital thing as I just got a used Pro 2 (review incoming!) and that sounds GREAT even with digital oscs.
@@RayyMusik Small world lol. You're everywhere on the tube. Aftertouch is really going to haunt Korg. Ruined the entire board and killed sales to a shocking degree.
C’mon! We know how wins here easily. You can’t be call “Pro” with one LFO, just to begging with. And the cons list goes on. Not a bad synth but at the introduction priced it was a broad daylight robbery from #Korg
I get this a lot and I respect the opinion, but remember, the OB6/Prophet 6/Prophet 5 only have 1 LFO and are considered classics. The 80s Roland synths don't have aftertouch, etc etc. Synths are sometimes greater than the sum of their features :)
In the end prologue is mocked globally for good reason. Its a crippled joke of a synth and a waste of space in any serious studio. The features are so poor its outclassed without effort by Korgs lowest tier of 37 key instruments. Which is an embarrassment for something toted to be a flagship. Funny to see the 'one-more-lfo' gag after all these years now. Korg need to step up the cost/value and ditch the allergy to aftertouch which is a basic expectation at best.
Sorry to all the people in the comments but the Korg Prologue sounds much better to my ears. I'm not saying it's a better synth but it does sound better.
Fair ! It really sounds so good and is a criminally underrated synth. To this day I am still surprised it was such a commercial failure they discontinued it after 3 years
