KORG announced today that they are turning the classic Monopoly board game into a synthesizer, adding that “This is not an April Fool’s joke.”
Here’s what they have to say about it:
Monopoly is the world’s most popular board game, sold globally since 1935 and holding the largest cumulative number of players in the world! With the same name as the board game (almost!) the KORG iMono/Poly brings you an unexpectedly fun collaboration.
Monopoly has now teamed up with KORG iMono/Poly! With a design that gives you the feeling of actually playing Monopoly, it’s sure to give an enjoyable boost to your inspiration.
Enjoy a new synthesizer experience with Monopoly × iMono/Poly!
Version 1.1.0 of Korg iMono/Poly adds the Monopoly board game skin:

Pricing and Availability
Korg iMono/Poly is available for a limited time for US $14.99 (normally $29.99).
Very clever marketing, I hadn’t really considered buying KORG’s iMono/Poly synth till now.

This is very whacky and off the wall………..good on your Korg for doing something like this!

I love the sense of humor of KORG. It is a pleasant surprise, they did it for the fun.
