With 16 types of oscillator and a SHAPE knob control, you'll be able to create complex sounds intuitively. It can produce sharp, metallic sounds with complex overtones beyond the possibilities offered by analog systems. Minilogue xd's multi-engine features a VPM (Variable Phase Modulation)/FM oscillator with a two-operator structure. You can use the digital filter to directly change the color of the noise.
KORG POLYPHONIC SYNTH GENERATOR
The noise generator provides four types of noise that are indispensable for percussive sounds or for sound effects. This engine, which is equipped with three different types of sound generator (noise, VPM and user slot) lets you take advantage of a sonic character that's different than analog and use it at the same time as the analog engine, infinitely expanding the potential of hybrid sound design. The additional sound design possibilities of digital sound are delivered by the multi-engine that's provided as a third oscillator in addition to the two analog VCOs. Out of the box, minilogue xd comes loaded with 200 presets and a total of 500 programs can be saved.

Of course, programs that you create can also be saved in the unit. The sounds range from the warm pads typical of analog to fat basses and crisp lead sounds, covering every situation. In addition to the distinctive circuits found in the series, such as wave shaping to shape the overtones of the oscillator and a sync/ring switch, there's also cross modulation, a sharp two-pole filter and a drive switch that adds thickness and drives signal into minilogue xd's filter.Įvery parameter has been tuned in detail based on what musicians want out of their synth. Voice structure of minilogue xd is 2VCO + MULTI ENGINE, 1VCF, 2EG, 1VCA and 1LFO. The analog synthesizer circuit of the minilogue, whose genuine analog sound had a huge impact on the synth world, has been further developed for the minilogue xd. minilogue xd is a fitting addition to the original groundbreaking minilogue.Īnalog synthesizer circuit that shatters expectations for its classįour-voice polyphonic analog synthesis. In addition to emphasizing the same real analog sound and joy of controlling an electronic musical instrument offered by the original minilogue, the minilogue xd newly adds a digital multi-engine, effects, a powered-up sequencer and micro tuning functionality, further expanding the possibilities for sound design and performance potential. That dream was realized in the development of the minilogue, which instantly made the analog synthesizer approachable. We wanted to deliver a next-generation analog synthesizer for a new generation of musicians new to analog synthesis.

KORG POLYPHONIC SYNTH PLUS
I have 2 other synths plus a drum machine to run. Not a deal breaker but they take a little getting used to. Good onboard sequencer capable of recording not only keystrokes but also parameter changes in real time or step mode.


KORG POLYPHONIC SYNTH SOFTWARE
Tons of onboard space for programs and the Librarian software give you the ability to backup and manage them. Intuitive layout with all of the essential controls at your fingertips. So, after playing this synth for a couple of weeks, here are my initial impressions: Essentially, this thing is infinitely expandable. In addition to all of the features of the Minilogue, it throws in the ability to load in additional programs and effects. But wait, there's more! In doing my research, I stumbled onto the Minilogue XD. The price was right, it is pure analog with all of the classical filtering options, polysynth: really right down my alley. This synth seemed to check all of the boxes for. The Deepmind has a better price, but the signal path on it seems a little limiting and many of the controls are only accessible through menus (not on the front panel). The Moog is awesome, but a little pricey for me. I am very pleased with it! I had been looking at other models (Subsequent 37, Deepmind 12, and Minilogue). I have been playing piano/keyboards for 50 years, but this is my first analog synth.
