A compact monophonic analog synthesizer sharing its voice architecture with Korg's polyphonic Minilogue, giving a smaller and more affordable instrument the same underlying analog sound engine.
About the Korg Monologue
The Monologue takes the analog oscillator and filter design from Korg's Minilogue and packages it as a single-voice instrument, meaning it shares the same fundamental sound character despite its smaller size and lower price point. Its built-in 16-step sequencer with motion recording lets a player capture knob movements during a performance and play them back exactly, turning simple patterns into evolving, animated sequences without external gear.
An OLED oscilloscope displaying the waveform in real time gives visual feedback on exactly what the oscillators and filter are doing - a genuinely useful teaching and sound-design tool that turns abstract synthesis parameters into something a player can actually see change as they turn knobs, reflecting Korg's broader push to make analog synthesis more approachable to newer synthesists.

Sound character of the Korg Monologue
A single analog VCO plus sub-oscillator, run through a straightforward 2-pole filter, gives the Monologue a leaner, brighter and more cutting tone than fatter multi-oscillator analog monosynths - a compact, punchy voice suited to sequenced basslines and leads rather than lush pads.
