Why I Love The Korg Prologue + A Free Sample Pack 

This is a really useful review for me. Most are so techy, but for someone who likes to play at night to relax and is a tone crazy retro 60's and 70's child, its huge to hear what it really does and hear the personal experience. I own a system 8, microKorg, microstation, JDXi and a deepmind 12 and want this one for the pure analog sound to pretty much complete the studio (lol, that won't last.) For what I needed to know, this sealed the deal. Deeply appreciate the honest rambling, because it needs to be said so bad, and most won't say it. Nice patches by the way. Thanks big time.

I’ve been lusting over this synth since its release and finally had the opportunity to purchase one this week. I found a local 16 for $800……I LOVE IT!!!

Just wanted to say, I really appreciate your “ramble” of, in terms of synth buying, how much we get caught up in things that look cool or seem cool in theory versus how they play out in reality. I get caught up in that so much and not only forget the original purpose of wanting a poly, but i also overwhelm myself very easily. I been wanting a poly synth for a long time now and keep getting twisted in that “fomo” feeling of the shinier stuff. There are so many damn options. Trying things out in person helps so much. so many things seems awesome until you have one in your hands for real and it doesnt click, and the opposite works too where you fall in love with something you didnt expect Still looking for a poly though hah. There’s too many

Thanks for sharing. Great sounds 👏🏾👏🏾

Tomorrow the day. I will receive my Korg Prologue 8. What a synth unbelievable cant wait.

Great Sounds and Great Playing!

I love the prologue too! My favorite part of synthesis is just what you said: Good, solid, analogue sounds. Perfect descriptor! :)

I am happy to see your growth as a RU-vidr my guy, it’s very inspiring

Great video. I feel the same way about the Korg logue series. Simple beauty. Subbed.

Bro you have talent

Sci-Fi Pluck is really cool

I love my prologue too!!! It sounds great when sequenced by deluge / sl mk3!

Nice talk and demo! Though it’s not “for me”, the prologue has a nice layout and feature set and makes some good sounds. I agree that it’s a combination of sound and workflow that lets you know that a synth is the right one, since you want it to be an extension of both your inner voice and your nervous system. So, besides hearing about what you like about the prologue, it was good to hear about what you don’t like about the Medusa.

Some nice sounds there mate 👍👍

Second hand market its never too late, true it is simple architecture but sound good.

This was a great video! I have had a prologue 8 voice for about six months now and still love it like I did on day 1. It will be a permanent fixture in my studio! You make some great points about the immediacy of using this synth for sound design and I agree with you. I'm certainly not a top shelf programmer but I like the notion of making my own sounds as I know they will be unique to my music. Even the process of developing a sound is something I view as being a creative exercise so I don't mind losing a little studio time when I'm in the mood to design. And it's nice that the design process is straightforward. I also agree with your comments about an instrument really clicking with a person or not. I've picked up some keyboards that have been awesome - but only in other peoples' hands. It's always a huge disappointment when you turn something on for the first time and start to play, only to know pretty quickly that there's no connection. But the reverse is also true - when you get into an instrument in those first few minutes and you get lost, there's nothing like that feeling! Anyway, enough rambling. Thanks for doing such a well thought out video and featuring one of my favorite keyboards in the process. Keep up the good work!

Does anyone also have the problem that the modulation of the lfo is still "hearable" even when i turned its "int" Control completely to the left, so to zero? i have that problem when i send it to cutoff, shape and pitch. I have my prologue for some weeks now, but i did not realize that until today.

For some reason this synth shot up in price. I paid $799 brand new in Nov 2019, but to be fair it was on a $200 sale. I like it a lot but I don't think I would have paid the $999 asking price at the time, so the $200 discount came at just the right time. It would be very difficult now because there are just so many options - never thought I would ever say that.

Hey , what about the tune problem? I’m thinking about get one but …

Wish it had the sequencer!

like that needy bell

I think I can make all the same sounds on My DAW and midi keyboard.

Static. Lifeless. Cold.

Great Sounds and Great Playing !
