Analog synthesizer
An analog synthesizer (analogue synthesiser) is a synthesizer that uses analog circuits and analog signals to generate sound electronically. Korg Mono/Poly and analog synthesizer are analog synthesizers.
See Korg Mono/Poly and Analog synthesizer
CV/gate
CV/gate (an abbreviation of control voltage/gate) is an analog method of controlling synthesizers, drum machines, and similar equipment with external sequencers.
See Korg Mono/Poly and CV/gate
Envelope (music)
In sound and music, an envelope describes how a sound changes over time.
See Korg Mono/Poly and Envelope (music)
Korg
, founded as Keio Electronic Laboratories, is a Japanese multinational corporation that manufactures electronic musical instruments, audio processors and guitar pedals, recording equipment, and electronic tuners.
Korg Collection
The Korg Collection (initially launched as the Korg Legacy Collection in 2004) is a suite of virtual instruments and effects that emulate Korg's various hardware synthesizers.
See Korg Mono/Poly and Korg Collection
Korg Polysix
The Korg Polysix (PS-6) is a six-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer released by Korg in 1981. Korg Mono/Poly and Korg Polysix are analog synthesizers, Korg synthesizers, musical instruments invented in the 1980s and polyphonic synthesizers.
See Korg Mono/Poly and Korg Polysix
Low-frequency oscillation
Low-frequency oscillation (LFO) is an electronic frequency that is usually below 20 Hz and creates a rhythmic pulse or sweep.
See Korg Mono/Poly and Low-frequency oscillation
Polyphony and monophony in instruments
Polyphony is a property of musical instruments that means that they can play multiple independent melody lines simultaneously.
See Korg Mono/Poly and Polyphony and monophony in instruments
Subtractive synthesis
Subtractive synthesis is a method of sound synthesis in which overtones of an audio signal are attenuated by a filter to alter the timbre of the sound.
See Korg Mono/Poly and Subtractive synthesis
Voltage-controlled filter
A voltage-controlled filter (VCF) is an electronic filter whose operating characteristics (primarily cutoff frequency) can be set by an input control voltage.
See Korg Mono/Poly and Voltage-controlled filter
Voltage-controlled oscillator
A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is an electronic oscillator whose oscillation frequency is controlled by a voltage input.
See Korg Mono/Poly and Voltage-controlled oscillator
