KORG MultiPoly Native 1.0.4 – The Ultimate Hybrid Software Synthesizer

KORG Multi/Poly Native 1.0.4 is the newest development of KORG’s classic series of synthesizers, blending vintage analog sound with advanced digital features. This software synth is coded to emulate the historic Mono/Poly hardware synth, but also disclose deep modern advancements tailored for current music producers, sound designers, and composers.

Arriving in VST3, AU, AAX, and standalone formats, Multi/Poly Native is an instrument fit for all that will end up in every DAW setup. You’re creating electronic, cinematic, ambient, or experimental music – this plug-in has massive creative potential.

Key Features of KORG Multi/Poly Native 1.0.4

  1. Four-Part Multitimbrality
    Fundamentally, KORG Multi/Poly Native is capable of up to four separate layers, each of which can accommodate a full synth engine. This multitimbral architecture makes it possible to build deep layered textures, keyboard splits, and dynamic sonic textures—all in a single plugin instance.

Each layer has up to 60-voice polyphony, which offers sufficient power for intricate chords, pads, or performance layers without overloading your CPU.

  1. Three Distinct Oscillator Modes
    The four oscillators per layer have available modes:

Classic: Analog-style waveforms for vintage synth timbres.

Digital: Wavetable synthesis with over 200 onboard wavetables, plus the ability to import own wavetables.

Waveshaper: West Coast-inspired mode with over 90 types of wave-shaping for aggressive, harmonic-rich timbres.

These combined options make Multi/Poly Native one of the most cross-platform virtual analog synths available.

Advanced Modulation and Filters
KORG Multi/Poly Native 1.0.4 boasts a powerful modulation matrix with over 5,500 possible destinations and 31 possible sources per path. Each layer features:

5 LFOs

4 DAHDSR envelopes (which can be looped)

6 modulation processors

You can modulate pitch, filters, effects, and even sequencing parameters in order to create dynamic, evolving sounds.

When filtering, the synth features dual filter models per layer. You get a choice of:

M/Poly-style filter

MS-20 filter emulation

Minimoog-inspired filter

These warm, vintage-sounding filters are characterized by glow and depth, with accurate digital control.

Motion Sequencing 2.0 and Kaoss Physics
KORG’s premium Motion Sequencing 2.0 technology is built in, offering animated sequences that evolve pitch, timing, shape, and more between standalone lanes. Any lane can also have its own loop point, direction, and number of steps, making it easy to craft rich rhythmic textures and reconfigure patterns.

Kaoss Physics, another highlight, introduces a physics-based modulation system. Users can “throw” a virtual ball onto a 2D surface, where it rolls, bounces, and generates modulation signals from position and velocity. This gives intuitive, real-time control of essentially any parameter.

High-Quality Effects Engine
There are three insert effects per layer, and global reverb and parametric EQ for master processing. Effect types are:

Modulation: chorus, flanger, phaser

Delay and Reverb

Distortion and Wave Shaping

Dynamic FX: compressors, EQs

Enabling sound design and mixdown flexibility via program- and master-level sound shaping.
Seamless Hardware Integration and MIDI 2.0 Support
Full hardware Multi/Poly compatibility is supported, including patch transfer and synchronization with the Librarian feature. Furthermore, support for MIDI 2.0 property exchange, MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression), and polyphonic aftertouch—ideal for new expressive controllers.

Pricing and Availability
As of version 1.0.4, KORG Multi/Poly Native is available for purchase at $149 USD. Hardware Multi/Poly owners can get the plugin at a crossgrade discount price of $49.99. There is also a demo version you can test all features for up to 20 minutes per session (no saving).

Final Thoughts
KORG Multi/Poly Native 1.0.4 is not just a virtual re-creation of an old-school synth. It’s a close, forward-thinking sound generation device with unparalleled flexibility, revolutionary modulation technology, and crystal-clear audio quality. Whatever you want from rich analog warmth to advanced contemporary textures, Multi/Poly Native delivers the complete synthesizer experience.
