Korg multi/poly native puts the multi/poly hardware synth inside your DAW.

Didn’t see this one coming! Or at least not this quickly. On the same day that Korg has released the multi/poly module, the company has gone and made the Korg multi/poly native available as a plugin for your DAW. And it’s fully compatible with the classic Mono/Poly-inspired hardware.
Going Native
As with other hardware-to-software ports in the Korg catalog, the new software version of multi/poly is essentially the same instrument, just minus the housing. It has the same four oscillators per Program with the identical Classic, Digital, and Waveshaper oscillator types. Is also has all of the multi/poly’s newly redesigned filters, covering the original Mono/Poly plus a selection of famous other filters.
Synthesis options continue with modulation, with more than a thousand modulation destinations per Performance. It boasts Motion Sequencing 2.0, which evolved from the wavestate’s Wave Sequencing 2.0. “Timing, Pitch, Shape, and four sets of Step Sequence values are separated into ‘Lanes,’ each with their own loop start and loop end, adding a deeper, more customizable level of phrase and modulation recording,” explains Korg in promotional materials.
Lastly, there’s Kaoss Physics, which you may remember from the modwave, three layers of effects, randomization options, plus more.
Patch Exchange
If you happen to own both the hardware and software versions, you can use sounds interchangeably between the two. This is done via the Librarian page.
Pricing and Availability
The multi/poly is an incredible hardware synthesizer. If you’ve had your eye on it but don’t have the space for it or the module, and don’t mind a fully software version, the Korg multi/poly native is for you.
Korg multi/poly native will be available soon (Approx. end of Feb.) in VST3, AU, AAX and standalone formats for $199.
Owners of the hardware multi/poly are eligible for a crossgrade license to multi/poly native at the special price of US $49.99, via a coupon code tied to the multi/poly hardware’s unique ID available in the multi/poly Editor/Librarian. See the Korg site for more on this.
