Korg Multi/Poly
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- 64 voices spread across 4 seperate synth engines, its an entire bands worth of sounds.
- If you’re willing to spend a bit more, I’d look into getting the Korg Multi/Poly, it’s super super powerful.
- One of my favorite synths at the moment is Korg's Multi/Poly. Even though I know it's just software running on a Raspberry Pi, I find the interface super fast for getting to the sound I want.
- Multipoly drops the samples in favor of better analog emulation and double the oscillators and filters per-voice of the other models.
- You should be looking at the Multi/Poly if you like John Carpenter and Vangelis type of sounds and textures. I can't see any reason to buy a Rev2 over a Multi/Poly.
Cons
- Korg multi/poly is also VA and has plugin version that can be tried out
- I got the multi/poly (keyed) but returned it because I didn't like the quality of the keys.
- I would suggest the Korg multi/poly, although this one can get so complex that I believe it’s not suitable for learning, but rather for applying what you’ve learned to a wider range of possibilities.
- The Korg Multipoly, Modwave, Wavestate, Opsix have the polar opposite quality keybed from the Modals, despite being in the same price range and octave count.

If you aren’t super excited about samples I’d suggest you look at the multipoly instead. Essentially the same UI, better filters, better per voice drift.
Korg Multi/Poly is the closest alternative in terms of VA capabilities with modeled envelopes as well.
