Korg Multi / Poly vs KingKORG

Post by jd990m1 »

Hi everyone.
KingKORG sounds fantastic but the Multi/Poly uses a more modern software and maybe stronger hardware .
What do you think ?

In terms of emulation of classic synths, KK emulated assorted filers, e.g. Minimoog, Oberheim SEM, and Prophet 5, but as I just mentioned in another thread, the Multi-Poly also emulates not just the classic filters, but also envelope and portamento behaviors, which gives it a leg up in that function. And I think I read that the filters have been improved too...? OTOH, KK also does some Roland ("Acid") emulation which the Multi/Poly apparently does not, and it has some "bread and butter" rompler sounds (piano, etc.), and it also has a DW-8000 type of DWGS foundation to it, which I don't think the Multi/Poly has... and also the tube (in the full size version). Each also has some options for their own unique characters, apart from their emulations of the classics. So... similarities and differences. From what I can tell, I think the the Multi/Poly has an improved interface, though.
