prologue-8
1.
MASTER controls
The master controls affect the entire operation of
prologue, including the volume level (output and
headphones), portamento settings, pan width amount,
and voice mode. The pitch can also be changed and
modulated using the pitch and modulation wheels,
respectively.
2.
TIMBRE section
For the prologue-16, single timbre (16 voices), or two
timbre (8+8 voices) modes can be selected in this sec-
tion. Also, the balance between timbres, split and layer
configurations can be set here.
For the prologue-8, the timbre settings are available in
the PROGRAM EDIT mode. Single timbre (8 voices),
and two timbre (4+4) modes can be selected there. Also,
the balance between timbres, split and layer configura-
tions can be set there.
For details refer to the Owner’s Manual (www.korg.
com).
3.
VCO 1/VCO2/MULTI ENGINE section
The waveform and shape of the two VCOs (Voltage
Controlled Oscillators) can be set here.
The MULTI ENGINE can be set to type of source, noise
generator, VPM oscillator, or user oscillator. In the case
of the user oscillator, user created oscillators can be
loaded using the librarian application. For details refer
to the Owner’s Manual (www.korg.com).
4.
MIXER section
The level of the VCO 1, VCO 2 and MULTI ENGINE
can be individually controlled here.
5.
FILTER section
Using the resonant low-pass filter, frequency compo-
nents of the oscillators can be removed or emphasized
to adjust the brightness of the sound.
6.
EG/LFO section
The EG (Envelope Generator) allows users to modu-
late parameters with a time-varying curve. In addition
to the VCA, the CUTOFF, SHAPE and PITCH can be
selected as modulation targets.
The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) allows users to
modulate parameters with a periodic signal.
7.
EFFECT section
Digital effects can be adjusted here.
MOD EFFECTS allows users to choose from modula-
tion effects such as choruses, phasers, flanger, etc.
DELAY/REVERB allows users to choose spatial effects.
8.
L.F. COMP. section
(prologue-16 only)
Low frequency analog boost and compression effect.
The effect can be switched on and off here.
9.
EDIT section
Program selection, save, and detailed editing can be
accessed here.
Large collections of programs can be swiftly navigated
using the PROGRAM SORT/EDIT PAGE button. For
details refer to the Owner’s Manual (www.korg.com).

ARPEGGIATOR section
The arpeggiator can be activated and configured here.
In addition to ON and LATCH modes, the TEMPO,
RANGE and TYPE can be edited.
