EXi: AL-1 Analog Synthesizer

AL-1 Overview

The AL-1 is Korg’s most full-featured virtual analog
synthesizer to date. It’s played from within EXi
Programs, so you can layer it with any other EXi–or
layer two AL-1s together. Its features include:

• Two ultra-low-aliasing oscillators, based on new,

proprietary technology

• Sub oscillator, colored noise generator, and live

audio input; FM, sync, and ring modulation

• Dual multi-mode resonant filters, including Korg’s

new Multi Filter

• Drive and Low Boost, for adding per-voice grit,

girth and distortion

• Four per-voice LFOs, five re-triggerable envelopes,

and a per-voice step sequencer

• Two key tracking generators and two modulation

mixers

• Access to all standard EXi Program features,

including the Common LFO, Common Step
Sequencer, Key Track 1 & 2, KARMA, EQ, and
effects

Unsupported EXi Common parameters

The AL-1 supports all of the EXi Common parameters,
except for two of the voice allocation options: Poly
Legato
and Mono Mode (Normal/Use Legato Offset).
Both of these options are designed for sample
playback, and so they don’t apply to the AL-1.

All of the other voice allocation options are fully
supported, including Mono, Mono Legato, Unison, etc.
