Vongon | replay Polyphonic Virtual Analog Synth
Access Vintage Analog Sounds with Vongon’s New Easy-to-Use Replay Polyphonic Synth!
Now Available at Chicago Synth Exchange, the Vongon replay polyphonic virtual analog synthesizer is equipped with a multi-mode arpeggiator and designed to embody the character of a vintage synth, with modern utility and versatility of form in mind. Inspired by both the ’80s-era Roland Juno and the Korg Polysix synths, the new Vongon replay represents the Oakland, California-based effects pedal maker’s first foray into the polyphonic synth world!
Vintage Synth Sounds in an Intuitive, Sleek Enclosure
Founded in 2020 by Ryan McGill, Vongon built its reputation by making iconic-inspired, original effects circuits housed in custom pedal enclosures designed to evoke vintage vibes, while combining unique retro beauty with high-quality, modern technology.
Equipped with a six-voice virtual analog sound engine, the Vongon replay polyphonic synth emulates the organic response of an analog circuit, letting users create a diverse range of sounds, from rich pads and vibrant leads to snappy arpeggios and deep sub-bass tones.
Balancing scope, style, and function, the Vongon replay packs all of its features into a slim footprint equipped with 22 dedicated sound controls, plus a 2½-octave keyboard comprised of genuine Cherry MX keys arranged in an intuitive format to encourage an immersive, hands-on approach.
The Vongon replay seamlessly integrates into your personalized setup with full MIDI I/O via 3.5mm jacks and USB connectivity. Compatible with any standard effects pedal power supply, it also connects effortlessly with any pedal board, streamlining workflow, whether for live performances onstage or recording sessions in the studio. Vongon also offers a user-friendly web interface command center for managing replay presets, in addition to accessing extended parameters and downloading firmware updates.
