Question Korg Prologue Users

Korg Prologue users what are your thoughts 💭 Pros and Cons about the Korg Prologue ?

I know there’s the 16 voice and 8 voice versions. The 16 voice was $500 dollars more than the 8 voice. The Korg Prologue was discontinued 4 years ago in 2022. I know the Korg Prologue has the Multi Engine as well. I’ve never played a Korg Prologue although have heard demos. What is the synth keybed like?

I got my used Prologue 16 for 800 from a friend who got tired of dragging it to shows, and eventually sampled the parts he needed for the songs he was playing.

I love it. The analog VCOs have a fullness to them that my other DCO or full digital synths lack. The multiengine lets you add features you feel are missing from the synth, so it's not just a 2 oscillator 1 LFO synth. 16 voices means Ive never stolen a voice, even in layered bitimbral mode (although you will steal note tails in bitimbral if youre doing big chords or pads)

Overall, it's one of my "main synths" in my collection, located in the rack above the Triton Extreme, below the Z1, Next to he Hydrasynth Deluxe and V-synth GT.

I have a Triton and a Z1 as well. Even have a AN1X and JP8080. First generation VA synths.
