If Korg can get the digital SDK into the hands of some smart developers, this could be a monster. (Sean at Valhalla is looking into it, for one.)
I like that video, it's got everything I need in a synth, all my favourite sounds anyway...I guess all synths can do the sounds I like, but this was the one I was waiting for off the back of the positive reviews for the Minilogue.
I'm new to synths and don't know what "sweet spot" means, does that mean it's good at one thing only?

By "big sweetspot", I meant that the synth seems to sound gorgeous for a large range of tones - and that's only from the clips so far posted. People have barely scratched the surface of this in the sound-design clips shown on YT. Did you see GeoSYNTHS's live streams? Long-winded but a lot of nice stuff.
Once people get to grips with the digital engine (FM, waves, and who knows where that will be able to go with the SDK?) and with the layering (thicker analogue sounds or separate attack/sustain 'partials'), the Prologue has a lot of promise.
I'm quite jealous!
I'm excited about it but so nervous that I've bought something early doors and it turns into a dud that people hate. I know that's highly unlikely, but as it's my first synth, it's hard to know what's right to do. Spent two years uhmming and ahhing about buying one, and it's taken a while to settle on a Korg.
Regardless, it sounds fantastic! I am really liking it, although feel like I've got so much to learn!

I think for some types of music, the Prologue just won't be flexible enough to be a do-everything synth. Lots of scuttlebutt about it not being worthy of the "flagship" moniker (one LFO, simple filter, no aftertouch). Basically, because the modulation options look to be quite limited compared to DSI Rev2, etc, some types of tones will be harder to create.
Doesn't worry me.
Anyway, stop posting here and get playing and giving us more hands-on info!
That little list is enough to me off.
Synth history of full of gorgeous sounding under-featured synths, though. And this has a programmable digital engine per-voice.
I dontdfeel worthy of having such a machine. I love it but can't help but feel it won't be used to its full potential. Would I be better off with soft synths?
Never been able to get a good quick setup with easy access to functions I need with a decent controller. Hence why I've gone all in analogue.
Any ideas?

I don't mind the sound of many soft synths, but I'm never inspired by mousing around a screen. (That's my own failing; it's how I am.) I had the iSEM at the same time as the Oberheim TVS Pro reissue, and there's something very rewarding about making a Carpenter-esque growly bass that wasn't the same (feeling) as copying the settings over to the iSEM. Moving a real analogue knob a tiny fraction made real differences - the iSEM was not as interactive.
Don't let buyer's remorse set in. Hang on in there. (Unless you're trying to decide before the returns date passes.)

Select 3 sawtooths, detune them a little, bring down the filter cut off to soften it up, adjust the filter envelope to give a slow gentle sweep, then adjust the amp envelope so it drifts in and out. Stick some chorus on and drift off holding simple chords for hours.
It's good. On par with a dsi rev 2. The korg has more oscillators and some fm tones but the rev 2 has a better mod matrix. Not sure which to go with myself yet. I'm swaying towards the rev 2 personally but both are great.
@paulmapp8306 what's swaying you to the rev2?

There's just so much you can control with so much other stuff, and you can run 8 mod sources at once v the korg 1.
Basically it means the variety of base tones you can get on the korg is bigger but the movement you can generate in any given tone is much greater on the dsi.
Sounds good mate :-)
