Introducing the Korg Prologue 16-Voice Analog Keyboard Synthesizer, a polyphonic powerhouse that marks a new pinnacle in Korg's recent analog synthesizer development. Crafted using 11,000 discrete electronic components, the Prologue 16 retains the user-friendly nature of its predecessors while delivering stunning, unparalleled sound quality.

The Prologue's sound architecture employs a 2VCO + MULTI ENGINE, 1VCF, 2EG, 1VCA, and 1LFO structure. It offers unique circuitry such as wave shaping for shaping the oscillator's overtones and a sync/ring switch. It also showcases features like a two-pole low pass filter with enhanced sharpness, powerful distortion drive, and a low cut (high pass) switch.

But the Prologue's true ingenuity extends beyond its analog design. The newly developed multi-engine, provided as VCO3, introduces digital waveforms and FM into the mix. This engine, equipped with three different sound engines, can be combined with the analog VCOs to expand the Prologue's sonic potential far beyond that of a traditional analog synthesizer.

Whether you're crafting fat basses, powerful leads, or beautiful pads, the Prologue 16 is your ticket to a vast world of analog synthesis.
