Korg Monologue-SV Monophonic Analog Synthesizer

Zavedení

The Korg Monologue-SV is a fully programmable monophonic analog synthesizer featuring 25 slim keys with velocity sensitivity. Building upon the design principles of the minilogue, the Monologue-SV incorporates unique sound engine components, including all-new filters, modulation capabilities, drive circuits, and an LFO, specifically optimized for powerful monophonic sound generation. It is capable of producing robust bass lines and sharp lead tones. The integrated 16-step sequencer has been enhanced for intuitive and complex editing, supporting motion sequences for up to four parameters. An organic EL display with an oscilloscope function provides visual feedback of waveforms, aiding in sound design and understanding.

Bezpečnostní opatření

• Napájení: Use only the specified AC adapter (KA350, sold separately) or 6 AA alkaline or NiMH batteries. Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries.
• Umístění: Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight, high temperatures, humidity, or excessive dust. Do not place near heat sources or in unstable locations.
• Zacházení: Do not drop or subject the unit to strong impacts. Do not open the casing or attempt to modify the internal components. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Čištění: K čištění používejte měkký, suchý hadřík. Nepoužívejte tekuté čisticí prostředky ani rozpouštědla.
• Rušení: Keep the unit away from devices that may cause electrical interference.

1. Zapnutí/vypnutí

To power on the unit, press the power button located on the rear panel (if using AC adapter) or on the top panel (if using batteries). To power off, press and hold the power button until the display shuts down.

2. Sound Generation Sections

The Monologue-SV features a classic analog signal path:

• VCO 1 & VCO 2 (Voltage Controlled Oscillators): These generate the primary waveforms. Use the WAVE and SHAPE controls to select and modify the waveform. The PITCH and OCTAVE controls adjust the frequency. VCO 2 also includes RING modulation and SYNC options.
• MIXER: Balances the levels of VCO 1, VCO 2, and the AUDIO IN signal.
• FILTR: Shapes the timbre of the sound. Use CUTOFF to set the filter's frequency, RESONANCE to emphasize the cutoff point, and TYPE to select different filter characteristics.
• EG (Envelope Generator): Ovládá amplitude (volume) over time. Adjust ATTACK, DECAY, and RELEASE to shape the sound's dynamics.
• LFO (nízkofrekvenční oscilátor): Provides periodic modulation to various parameters. Controls include RATE, INT (intensity), and TARGET (destination).
• ŘÍDIT: Adds harmonic richness and distortion to the sound.

3. Řízení programu

The Monologue-SV can store 100 programs (80 preset, 20 user). Use the PROGRAM/VALUE knob to select programs. Refer to the full manual for details on saving user programs and micro tuning settings.

4. Sekvencer

The 16-step monophonic sequencer allows you to record and playback musical phrases. It supports motion sequences, enabling the recording of knob movements for up to four parameters per step, adding dynamic changes to your sequences.

• REC: Enters record mode for the sequencer.
• HRÁT SI: Starts playback of the current sequence.
• REŽIM UPRAV: Allows editing of sequence steps and motion data.
• ČAS: Upravuje rychlost přehrávání sekvenceru.

5. Funkce osciloskopu

The organic EL display features an oscilloscope that visually represents the waveform of the sound being produced. This is a valuable tool for understanding how your sound design choices affect the audio signal in real-time.

Údržba

• Čištění: Otřete jednotku měkkým, suchým hadříkem. Na odolné nečistoty použijte lehceamp hadříkem a poté otřete dosucha. Nepoužívejte abrazivní čisticí prostředky ani rozpouštědla.
• Skladování: When not in use for extended periods, store the Monologue-SV in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
• Péče o klíče: Keep the keyboard free from dust and debris. Avoid spilling liquids on the keys or controls.
