Common monologue Questions
How do I sync the Korg monologue's sequencer to an external MIDI clock source like my DAW?
In the Global Settings menu (accessed by holding the 'Shift' button and pressing 'Global'), set the 'MIDI Clock Source' to 'External'. Ensure your DAW is sending MIDI clock information to the Monologue's MIDI IN port.
Where are the presets and kits saved on the Korg monologue?
The Monologue has internal memory for storing up to 100 Programs (presets, 80 preloaded + 20 user) and 16 Sequence Presets (kits). These are not saved to an external SD card, so backup through a computer if needed.
How do I create a basic sequence and record parameter motion (motion sequence) on the Monologue?
First, choose a Program. Then, press 'Record' and play notes on the keyboard to enter a sequence. To record motion, enable motion recording via the 'Motion Sequence' switch on the front panel, then adjust knobs while recording is active.
My Korg monologue isn't making any sound, even though the power is on. What could be the issue?
Check the 'Level' knob, located on the right of the panel, is turned up. Also, ensure the 'VCO Gate Mode' setting in Global Settings is set appropriately (e.g., 'LEGATO' for overlapping notes) as an incorrect setting can cause sound dropouts with certain playing styles.
What's the purpose of the microtuning functionality and how do I use it?
The Monologue's microtuning lets you create custom scales and tunings beyond standard equal temperament. Access this via the Global menu and use the value knob to define individual note tunings, unlocking a variety of unique sonic textures and experimental tonal possibilities.
