The Monologue was designed by Korg's then Chief Engineer of Analog Synthesizers, Tatsuya Takahashi, his last design before switching to another position within the company.[5][6]

It is a trimmed-down, single-voice version of the Korg Minilogue with various characteristics of its own,[1][7] such as the addition of microtuning.[4][7]

Details

Korg worked with Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) as an artist advisor to collaborate on the instrument's presets, sounds and scales.[11]
