First load of Custom Patches I've made for the Korg Prologue, mainly Single Patches, though there are 1 or 2 Stacked/Split Sounds. It definitely has its own sound and character, which can lean towards the spirit of old Oberheim, but I wouldn't say it's a "Polite" Synth...not a "Prim and Pretty" 24db Filter...just an 'Earthy' 12db Tone that's very modern...and it's great!
I've set the Mod Wheel for changes and some Patches are set up to work with an Expression Pedal (Moog EP3 used). - Jak na to + styl
I owned a prologue 16 and sold it due to tuning issues. I bought an ASM Hydrasynth which Ain’t No Slouch. It makes some downright mean sounds. But it doesn’t make those Big warm milky creamy polysynth sounds that you get with the Prologue. I decided I wanted it again tuning issues or not. Now I’ve discovered a button combo that pretty much instantly re-tunes the oscillators.
The prologue is going to be rediscovered.
I LOVE MINE.
Geosynth patches really do show off the broad palette and wide sweetness of the prologue.
Don’t let bad reviews steer you clear of the Korg. While the prophets and modals and waldorfs have more modulation options , they are much more expensive and none of the touch the sound of the prologues oscillators. And the inclusion of the user wave oscillator is a bigger boost than I thought. Tim shoebridges user waves are really good
This synth is so underrated. As a keyboardist, I don't care one bit for extreme mod capabilities or weird space noise noodling, I just want something that sounds and feels good when you play. The Prologue is exactly that.
this synth really pulls me in sonically i want the 8 but feel like the low end comp would come in handy...thanks for the vids been enjoying them .
First shot of very interesting patchs as well , a great bunch of acid, mindstorming and prospective sounds.... I have a non defenitive rather mixed opinion on the prologue... I'm waiting.... And i'm sure that your work help me to make light on its real capacities. Thanks for your perpetual knobs twerkings on all synths you have!!
Love all the Sounds Mate Good Job
I have listened to all 4 videos on the patches and if I could work out my fears as new to doing things this way around I would send my order no hesitation. They are quite sublime - thank you.
It is a good Synth, some short comings, but once you dig a bout and use what's there, it can create some gorgeous Patches.
@@GEOSynths Ordered - having it delivered on Friday. Once I have a handle on it and how to get to this Korg Library thing then I can order your patches - as it has 250 preloaded plus 250 empty I guess I can drag and drop the ones of yours I would like to use?
Here you really get an idea of what the Prologues are capable of. Thank you!
wow, i just listened to your deepmind patches ( which are great ) but in comparison this thing sounds much more alive
I like that you start all demos with the br patch, it makes easy to compare synths.
Thanks, that’s exactly why I do it. :)
Yes, the organic, rich and musical sound of this synths immediately grabbed me and was like candy to my ears. It completely stood out from other analogue synths I tried at the time (aka all of the DSI ones) and was the only one that would have made me part with my money....
1:47 ... Oh my. Love this synth. It’s something a bit different. Maybe that’s why there seems to have been a bit of ‘down’ reaction to it generally. For the rest of us, this is great. It is such an immediate musical synth to make sounds on and play. Keep up the good work G.
Haha...Yeah, it's a good sound that...I ended up playing for ages after making it and had to force myself to carry on with new patches. Yes, it doesn't have the most Bells and Whistles, though the Digital side will shape up to be interesting, there's already a few Oscillators been made, but I agree, it is a "Musical" Synth, something that new people may not appreciate yet...some Synths are barriers, some flow and some just sound amazing, this is one of them!
Beautiful patches!
¡Preciosos sonidos! Felicitaciones por el buen gusto y la performance.
felicitations, à Korg et à toi. Encore une fois j'adore les sons Korg et tes patches sont efficaces et subtils
Du coup j'en veux un....
U nailed some incredible sounds :)
I love that the very first patch is vangelis
In a lot of synth videos that I look up, so many people have a Roland System 1m in the background and no one has a videos demoing any bass, lead, or pad sounds played with a keyboard connected to it...every video is sequence patterns. Prologue sounds awesome BTW.
That pad from 4:14 on is all kinds of glorious!
Good stuff, very impressive.
Beautiful! Thank you very much. Would you consider making some other long background music of korg prologue? Perhaps with individual fragments individually longer
The great synth of this generation. PERIOD!
That filter. Jesus. It sounds so good. I agree with you that this and the OB6 are where it’s at sound wise right now. This synth sounds amazing. It’s soooo thick and mean at times and can be so delicate and angelic as well. It can be plenty weird too. Lush. And the effects are fantastic. Some of the modulation shortcomings are disappointing but there’s no shortage of tone here which is what’s important. For all the modulation on the Rev2 I still find that Curtis filter so uninspiring. It’s a great bread and butter synth and a true work horse. But the Prologue gives me chills and thrills, where as the Rev2 seems like a sensible choice.
I hope that your taking in consideration to program a custom patches bank for the upcoming Korg Wavestate, despite being a totally digital synth.
Interesting modern somewhat nondescript sound. Seems good for background pads and atmosphere.
Such nice work. I noticed you have both a Prologue AND a KingKorg ... a comparison video would be much appreciated, if so inclined.
I would like to see that too! I'm currently leaning toward the KingKorg, but not convinced.
I have the king Korg. But I must say. The Prologue has a way cleaner bass.
Hmmm ... "clean" is not usually what I am after in bass tones. "Fat", "punchy", "authoritative", "round" ... I get all that from my Moog Sub Phatty. I generally prefer 24db filters for bass.I really did like a couple of the bass patches I played on the Prologue at NAMM 2018 though.
To all the critics: a brilliant sound designer can bring out the thickness and warmth in what the general public or amateur sound designers consider to be thin or harsh sounding synths. The end result of the sound depends on the programmer's sound design ability. Like an artist you have to sculpt and bring out the beauty of the sound that lays dormant within the synth.
Nice demo and great patches. Roll on when the librarian becomes available.
Has a character of its own & I imagine the 16 voice could really open things up for sound design.
If I have a second MIDI keyboard, can the Prologue split 8 voices across its keyboard on one "patch" and the remaining 8 across the external keyboard playing a second "patch"? So one actual patch, just using the split functionality to provide 8 voices for each sound per keyboard. In case I have a friend over :)
4:20 Beautiful. Can the UDO Super 6 and Novation Summit do this?
Do you think you lose out on much with the 8 voice rather than the 16 voice? I'm thinking of getting the 8 or should I save up for the 16????
Sweet!
Hi, great sounding presets.
Just ordered the 16, and layering is one of my goals for sound design.
Have you made some presets for the 16 with layering? If so, what do you think about it?
Yeah, quite a lot are layered Patches and make a big difference, Pad on 12 layer, Arp on another for example.. It's a good Synth for it.
Great patch demo! Gosh, I have a desire to get a poly analog but I’d have to give up my 2 synths to get one and I think I can do more w/ my harmor vst and some sample waveforms from my synths which I’ll have to try 1st. I have a Sub Phatty & 0-coast. I would hate to part w/them for a poly that I don’t think could fully cover what I can do w/ the 2 I have but I would love to hear your opinion as to whether you think the prologue could do more than the basics. Can you get the amazing strangeness that an 0-coast is capable of? And w/ the 8 voice prologue does it really compare to the moog’s selectable 4 pole filter and multi-drive? Well thanks for posting this. Really enjoy listening to your patches.
Imo sampled waveforms cant replace a synth.. more so capture certain sounds
I would buy this synth not only for the sounds but also for the hardware integration to control the omnisphere 2.5.Two in one
Better take a Prophet Rev2; many more knobs to control Omnisphere.
9:08 nice chorus/tremolo effect
lovely!
This synth can do many analogic vintage synth style like cs80 and others imho
will the download work using the new MacBooks with big Sur os?
Nothing touches ssm filter of Korg Polysix. Prologue sounds a bit harsh and glassy to me, but it is a matter of taste.
you have good ears. But 19:30 sounds right, also 25:13. By the way, the 16 voice version has the comp, it helps to get more bottom.
Hmmm actually thinks this sounds harsher than the Rev2, though the recent discounts on the prologue 8 and 16 now makes them a serious option.
Flying-unatic
Maybe, but it depends on what you want to hear. I have my doubts that the Sequential Rev2 is as well built as the Korg Prologue. I have read some reviews of the Rev2 and they are not all that good. We have to consider that the Rev2 came at an entry level price from the get go. Korg is a much larger company and they make high quality equipment. Sequential equipment is usually very good, but you can't buy a Mercedes for the price of KIA.
I have both. The rev2 has quite a bit more modulation options than the prologue, but the prologue has a little more "liveliness" with the VCOs...it's all taste and what you want to do with them. Both are great synths!!
The Rev2 is amazing. Lots of people don’t learn how to program it well and give up, it seems … The Prologue has VCOs, tho; and DCOs will never sound quite as ‘raw’ as those …
I see you have a Peak too. I am considering buying a Peak, but if a desktop version of the Prologue is released i might opt for that. What is your opinion on the both of these, which sounds better?
I love the PEAK, it has got a lot going for it in terms of the sounds it can produce and flexibility. It sounds very different to the Prologue and it's still early days with what the Prologue can do...we'll have to see what Korg and 3rd Party Developers come up with.
i'm with ya
I still cant choose
Have you already made your choice ? ( and why please ! )
Teo Larrosa Granolleras my opinion: for sound: Prologue. For features: Rev2. For versatility: PEAK.
the peak is simply amazing. its so fat and warm and you can make sounds that are literally instruments in themselves.you have to watch the cuckoo tutorial on you tube 5 times to understand it. if you want the bright tones you hear i would go for the prologue though.and the presets on the peak are all crap. not 1 i could use,i put it up for sale then watched cuckoo and omg everything changed. if you dont want to spend days programming though and want instant great synths id a get a ....... yes ..... roland fa06 .!!!! it has every synth sound very well sampled i can think of. only thing is it took me 8 months to find them.its massive but what you hear out the box is awful. heres a clip of me live with fa 06 - it sounds analogue !!!! facebook.com/james.fowler.1848/videos/10216697475577550/
9:08, 12:00, 14:48. 20:30, 23:13, 27:28 Hi, your creations are admirable. Is it possible to buy a custom bundle of patches from you? Or do they only come as packs/volumes?
Some of these sounds you have made, have convinced me to get this over the Novation summit. Perhaps the Summit can do much the same and more, hence my hesitation. But the Prologue seems to sing more. Would be nice to try them both and the UDO Super 6.
VCOs … what did you end up doing?!
12:00 wavy harmonics.
I'm considering the purchase of a Korg Prologue and your patches are making any synth great. But I have already the Deepmind (and bought your two sounds banks). I would like to avoid a superfluous second poly, what are you thoughs about Deepmind vs. Prologue?
Thanks for the support :). They are quite different from each other, in that there's a lot more going on with the Oscillators with the Prologue than the DM12. The 2 VCO's are thick and full sounding and beat well against each other. The Digital Oscillator is great at adding overtones and with new User Oscillators, it's making the range of sounds very diverse. In the video it shows the 8 Voice, but I actually sold it and got the 16 voice...not for the Compressor, but the killer thing is to be able to stack 2 layers...that's going to be a big focus for me in 2019.
Anyway, the filter is a 12db/octave type and not as clean and juicy as a 24db but I really like it, it lets through more harmonics and gives it a more darker tone to it. FX are great, but not as good as what you get with the DM12 and while it does have some nice reverbs, they do get a bit too over powering. Modulation isn't great as you essentially have 1 LFO going to 1 destination that can be used, but you can assign the Mod Wheel and Expression pedal to do other things. So there are limitations, but if you are using it studio based, then DAW's have LFO's built in to assign CC's and so on.
It has come down in price since release, so is quite worth it now and it is different enough to your DM12 to be complimentary, rather than replacement...as they sound very different from each other.
Prologue o deepmind 12????
Why does Korg want to make it so hard for me to buy a deepmind12 instead of one of their ‘logues🤦🏽♂️
What u end up buying.. imo the korg prologue 16 sounds beefier than the prophet rev2.. but the rev 2 has some nice pads..tough decision.
@@ChazSeamus28 yeah man I really cant decide.. sounds like the rev2 is lacking something in my ears, i dunno.
@@hanshenning8357FWIW, I have a DM12 and love it (with aftermarket patches of course).
I'm holding out for a 16 Proglogue for under a grand. It just has that gritty edge from the 80's I've missed.
Have you guys considered the Matrix Brute?
If it's Anolog hardware and sound your after along with features for anolog sound creation.
@@maydaygoingdown5602 Matrix is monophonic, these are poly synths they are talking about.
I would like to say thank you for uploading these demos. The patches you create for this thing are great. From a guitar players perspective This synth sounds edgy but in a good way. This thing would fit in well with a band set up, meaning that it would stack well in a mix of your typical live drum,bass, guitar, vocalist setup. I could see this synth being used in many genres of music as well. I am a recording engineer and did so professionally for classical music. Games/movies/TV...... this and the peak both would meld well in a musical group situation. Just my two sense anyway....being paid to listen to other peoples music in a critical way for many years has tuned my ears to listen for certain qualities in instruments. subtleties that most would over look and to my ears this has a very organic sound to it. A roundness and solidity that a lot of digital synths and plug ins lack. Digital synths tend to sound glassy or translucent and also very rigid at the same time. One would buy this synth for the organic uniqueness of the sound coming from the instrument and not so much for the amount of complexity that is possible. Its a hard trade off , the peak with all its options for tweaking, A deepmind for its bang for your buck or this thing. mmmmm
Your powers of deduction are wasted here, when there are still so many unsolved crimes … Go, now - for the good of the City!!

I'd really like to know
from experience with this do you think it really needs more voices or bass (included in the prologue 16) or is the 8 really everything you need
It doesn't need any more Bass and the extra voices are good for the Layered Patches if you play more than 4 notes, but most of mine are single Patches, so 8 voices in enough...was enough for the Jupiter 8 :)
Thanks
think I have settled n the 8 voice version
I was thinking the same but after reading your last comment about the Jupiter 8, I heard the cliche cinematic stabs played at moments of shock and surprise. I'll keep it at 8!
Thanks for posting this. I love your patches.
Will you be releasing these for other Prologue users to load? That's sort of the point of the Prologue, right? :P
I'm currently on the fence about which instrument to pick up. Something to double as a MIDI controller that is under ~$2k or less. I'd been looking at this but I'm curious as to what your ultimate pick would be for that price range (most of the music I write is heavily inspired by the soundtracks from films of the '80s -- lots of leads, pads).
Great channel and thanks for the videos!
Hi, yes, I'll be releasing them once i've completed 100 Patches and they'll be on my website to purchase - geosynths.com You could look at getting a DeepMind 12, it is great for Pads and atmospheric stuff.
If you’re looking for a “budget” synth that will double as a midi controller, maybe have a look at the Studiologic/Waldorf Sledge 2.0. I picked up an “open box” for under $800. It is quirky, but I love it. And the keybed on the “Black” is the best semi-weighted I’ve felt. (Studiologic=Fatar)
HOT DAMN! @ 3:00 👌🏽
Are all the effect coming from the prolgue or is some outboard?
Just the Prologue
@@GEOSynths wow. I will be buying this as soon as my studio is wired.
like your videos...in your humble opinion - because you have both and make sounds for both - better to recapture those 80s sounds, rev 2 or prologue...can only afford one off the top...cheers
Either will do it well. Go with what sounds better to you.
What did you end up going with?
I would have said Rev2 … so versatile; but you need to put some work into it …
Is that heavy reverb built in the synth or is it external reverb???
The effects on this unit are incredible so yes its internal. Theres a lot of different reverb and delay types.
Think he says in his notes he uses a free reverb plugin, Valhalla?
This synth sounds goog but the Deepmind from Berhinger sounds good too (750 euros x 12 voices)
I own both, the prologue is miles ahead of the deepmind in terms of sound. You really get what you pay for.
I love the sound of the prologue but so far its been hard to fit into my mix. It doesnt sit well with the dsi or moog sound. Alot of the character of this synth is in the lower mids and once you high pass it you realize how lacking the high end is. Just gotta keep playing with it to see where it shines most.
@Armīns Blūms did you know thats not how eq works?
@Armīns Blūms lack of highs refers to the harmonic content of that register, so the best thing to do is to add it with any sort of saturation before eq and comp(yes even multiband). Not everyone you speak to is new to this bud so hittin me with smartass comments isnt helping anyone.
@Armīns Blūms my mistake then. But to the point originally said, if a synth doesnt sit well with others theres no need to force it in imo, easier to find another synth. Finding what instruments fit well with others is the point of having them. Now if one synth is all you have then yea id always resort to sound design and surgical mixing.
@Armīns Blūms good choice for only synth, its very versatile. Have you tried any custom osc for it yet?
@Armīns Blūms I record guitars with synths also, but only clean guitars. Youve got stuff on soundcloud?
Hi, very cool videos, thanks a lot
I wanted to understand what the 16 voices could do that an 8 cannot... If you could point out points of the video of example, or other prologue videos, that would be very useful!
I bought the 8-voice thinking it would be a good compliment to my Rev2. I hardly use my Rev2 now. I may be dropping $35 to your stay-at-home-with-my-synths fund.
Alexander Reyes the rev 2 is very complicated I often spend hours just making a few patches, probably will take a year to totally program every bank custom
The korg is simpler and less modulation heavy
I've gone through the same thing with the Rev2 but thought it had some beautiful patches to tweak on. I'm messing with a Prophet 6 now. Much more analog because of the VCO's obviously but not like super-old vintage analog like you can smell a dank basement from the 70s when you hit the keys. Some questionable presets on the 6, but it's growing on me everyday and it's relatively easy to navigate.
If you have the prophet 6 make sure you get the "old men of midi" sound bank. I thought it was better than the stock sounds and it's free!! Designed by some well known folks too
It lacks that magic that the Ob-6 provides, and it does not seem to have such wide sweet spot. But its very versatile.
It's funny that, I think it has a very wide sweet spot. I love the tones it can produce, just in the Oscillator section, something that I just can't get from my OB6. Yes, the Filter on the OB6 is great, lots of tonal variety with High Pass sweeps that you can't do on the Prologue, but they are very differently priced Synths...Personally, I think the Prologue is awesome, so much that I'm going to get a 16 Voice...as well!
I'll be looking forward to your opinion on the 16!
It's like half the price
It's hard to believe they didn't include motion seq..
Ryan Trio not necessary
There are a row of 8 buttons across the front panel. Maybe if everybody bitches and complains they can implement something.
This synth is basically the MS2000 successor
THIS is phat but, the Behringer Deepmind 12 is far more dynamic and versatile and a great deal for the money. No: I don't work for them...
This thing is much more versatile than it’s given credit for. The digital side is basically a whole entire noise synth, FM synth, and wavetable synth INSIDE of a VCO poly. It’s more than just random oscillators, the engine has its own filters, EGs, modulators, etc. I’ve been able to make everything from the Vox Humana patch to a DX7 epiano1. The Deepmind is great and versatile, you’re right, but to me it doesn’t sound nearly as alive and rich as the Prologue, which matters a lot for me.
Sorry: Deepmind 12 is by far, a much better value on diversity, complexity, layout of faders (prefer to knobs), practical patches, signal flow, price point, multiple effects...IF I was in the market for a new or, first synth...Deepmind would win...Former Juno 60 owner....Love the sound and layout...I have a variety of synths from various OEM's. NEVER a Korg, for some reason...Can't explain why....
@@HotStrange I'm looking for a synth...was looking at rev2...for instant or not too much tweaking eighties bliss or synthwave is what the kids now call it...is the prologue the one?
Nice Synth really. But I got a Bladerunner Patch for my Peak that sounds much better.
You sure it isn't mine? :)
GEOSynths Oh yes I am sure. I got it from the NovationTV Channel and modified it because I have no polyphonic Aftertouch Keybord.
Oh yeah, I met the guy who did it on their Video at Synthfest UK last year, it used the VSync Oscillator as I remember, not the way I do it, but cool anyway I do that sound on every Synth, some sound better than others...OB6 is the best i've done it on so far.
yeah cos you're the only bloke in the world who can knock up a stereotypical CS-80 lead on every synth (we all do it pal and some of us do it better than you but we don't try to sell our sounds cos we don't have giant egos)
Quarkyzarky seriously? I think it's past your bedtime. Night night
The Ob6 sounds better
In what way do you think it does?
Sold my Ob6 to buy my Prologue 16. Best decision I've ever made in the synth world. I loved the OB6 but the Prologue is far more diverse sonically, the effects are much nicer, and I prefer the sound of the Prologue's filter. I know it's all down to personal taste though!
Interesting to hear Paul, I have the OB6 also but it would be the last synth I would part with, I love it. When you say the filter on the prologue is nicer, in what sense, this is really nice to hear. I have the Prologue 16 arriving this week.
I agree that the ob6 sounds nicer. The prologue is sounding a bit sharper and agressive. It sounds very very good. I would love to have one. Curious how it sound without fx.
Prophet 6 is far more diverse than both and doesn't sound thin and weak like Prologue. That's what you should have bought.
Geo makes great patches and I have Dm12, P12 and Peak patches from him. Sadly Prolog sounds very boring itself. With single lfo it feels like it is targeted to classic sounds. No go for me. With the same harshness level I would probably choose Peak instead.
16 voices is worth having..I went with the Rev2, but like the Peak, it's more powerful than it initially seems.
Rev2 is great as well. But it cannot run on battery and it is big issue for me. I often take P12 outside to play at the backyard. And it is nice that I can just power it with battery bank.
I'm acctually thinking about maybe Dm12 or prologue. I quite like the character on Dm12 and it's a bit cheaper! How would you personally say that these two compare?
I dont have prologue and will never buy it. I have DM12 Module which is great. Probably the best analog synth on the market when it comes price/features. There is a lot of patch banks created over last year and now DM12 can sound like the most of classic synths. I had DM12 keyboard around 15 months ago and sold it because I did not like keybed. It was too loud and flimsy. I would only recommend DM12 module. I will never sell it. The sound is huge and so different. I had Peak which I did not like how it sounds So got rid of it. P12 Module is great and can sound different but it is lacking a lot of analog feel which DM12 has. Though P12 is keeper as well because of its unique character and FM options.
Oh, how great. Thank you so much for your answer! I think it is more likely that I will go for the DM12 then. From what I've heard of it I think it has a sound that is quite special, especially in that price category. So great to see the positive things you wrote about it. Reinforces the positive idea I had about it!
Where's the bottom end?
Very piercing high frequencies. I can heard a bit of aliasing or perhaps is a bit crusher running as FX somewhere in the chain?
Great playing but not sold by the sound
Alex Senna there’s plenty of bottom end to it, if you’re hearing aliasing, then it’s most likely CZcams, not the synth, don’t hear that myself in person.
No aliasing here. You must have a lofi yt stream. But yes the mini and prologue are quite sharp. Not bad i like it
Ryan Loader Woah woah woah. Where did that come from?
I'm sorry Alexandra , but I think you know nothing about analog synths!
Some great sounds here, but the synth just isn’t doing it for me. In all of the videos I’m failing to grasp why anyone would choose this over a Dave Smith, which is the nearest competitor in regard to features and price. It feels a bit lifeless.
Comes down to whether or not you like the sound. The third oscillator is doing a lot of work, and the prologue sounds fatter to my ears. whether or not that's desirable or if you really need the modulation on the rev2 is up to you.
THis has better raw sound then the prophet 8.
Plz, Plz forgt finally the 80‘s, there are over! Allways those cheesy easy thinn sounds, when a midager plays a modern synth. Get a younger player or look to modern music styles. Cant stand these anymore (i am 49!)
Agreed. Baby boomers buying synths to make outdated sounds in styles nobody listens to anymore, except synth nerds.
if you're 49 (I'm 50) then we're Xers not Boomers who grew up with 80s music...the Boomers were doing the fandango and the twist...haha
Mostly just the FX engine you're hearing here. The underlying sound is sharp and weak for VCO. Prophet 6 and OB-6 sounds much better (sans effects). Prophet 6 is the best of the 3 as is more flexible than both (without FX tricks) and has a warmer, beating heart of a core sound with genuine weight to it, very rich. Prologue is the opposite of rich (I think the DCO JD-XA sounds richer and that's not exactly rich either). Prophet 6 > OB-6 > JD-XA > Rev 2 > Prologue (I've owned them all except Prologue which once I tried it I had no further interest in), sold them all except Prophet 6 (the only really great one). Prologue sounds pretty awful for an analog, esp VCO. I've heard VAs sound nicer.
Prophet 6 and OB-6 are also over double the price of an 8-voice Prologue.
Prophet 6 and ob6 cannot layer sounds either. I have all of the above lol. The rev2, modal 008 and prologue can layer sounds which is part of the magic with them. Even taking the same patch with slight tweaks in envelopes and filter parameters makes the sounds absolutely huge
Shame they discontinued these (I think) I was sleeping on them. Sounds great!
