An evolved analog synthesizer
Huge potential for sound design and performance.
The minilogue xd was developed to make analog synthesis accessible for a new generation of musicians. Building on the original minilogue's real analog sound and control, the xd adds a digital multi-engine, effects, an enhanced sequencer, and micro tuning, expanding sound design and performance possibilities. It’s a fitting evolution of the groundbreaking original.
Analog synthesizer circuit that shatters expectations for its class
The minilogue xd features four-voice polyphonic analog synthesis, building on the original minilogue's impactful circuit design. Its voice structure includes 2 VCOs, a multi-engine, 1 VCF, 2 EGs, 1 VCA, and 1 LFO, offering wave shaping, sync/ring switching, cross modulation, a sharp two-pole filter, and a drive switch for enhanced sound. It produces a range of sounds from warm pads to fat basses and crisp leads. The unit comes with 200 presets and can save a total of 500 programs.
Equipped with a digital multi-engine
The minilogue xd includes a multi-engine as a third oscillator, enhancing sound design with three generators: noise, VPM, and user slots.
- Noise Generator: Provides four noise types for percussion and effects, adjustable with a digital filter.
- VPM Oscillator: Offers sharp, metallic sounds with 16 oscillator types and a SHAPE control.
- User Oscillators: Load custom programs into 16 slots, plus one morphing wavetable preset.

Versatile, intuitive and quick to work with. There are a good set of simple controls on the surface, and with some menu diving and user created fx you can do some more complex / varied stuff.

If you're playing this thing from a MIDI keyboard that supports velocity and aftertouch you can get some very interactive sounds. It's really for noodling, setting up a patch and playing it is one thing but it really likes to be manipulated as you play, noodling along as the sounds evolve. Of course you can use it to create some fat drums too, it's quite nice in that respect. It begs to be used with a sequencer and workflow where you can record all your keyboard dynamics in real time though. Step programming this thing is OK but you lose all the interactivity. Neat piece of gear and while the knobs can fall off, they're replaceable and their design minimizes the chance for damage to the actual pots which is a design decision that's OK.

Pur synthé analogique le son est puissant et de grande qualité, le pilotage numérique permet une banque de preset que l'on peut enrichir avec des patches trouvés un peu partout. Il n'est pas compliqué si on veut un peu s'interresser au mondes des oscillateurs. Le troisième filtre numerique est un peu plus complexe mais cela réserve du temps pour s'ameliorer. Le clavier est tres jouable et le sequenceur tres facile d'accès.

étonnamment satisfait de se synthé le son produit est agréable parfait pour débutercertain des presets fournie mon particulièrement plus , même si je me suis pris se synthé pour faire mes propres presets , le synthé par lui même n'est pas trop dure à appréhender et très intuitif a premier abord, je ne peut en dire plus pour le moment car je le possède depuis seulement 4 jours , j'envisage déjà un deuxième pour avoir plus de voies de polyphonie

Although there are endless software synths available as standalone apps for computers and tablets, as well endless built-in versions in all the popular digital audio workstations, there's nothing like having the real thing in front of you. This is my first real synthesizer, and I love experimenting with the endless variety of sounds it can produce. I output it to one of my guitar amps, or directly into Logic Pro on my computer, where I can monitor and record the audio output, and/or use it as a MIDI controller.I confess I was first drawn to this model by its design. It's beautifully design and built. It feels solid and the controls operate smoothly. It has 200 memory slots for saving your patches (100 are pre-loaded, but you can change them), and there is a software available from Korg to manage the patches and download new ones through your computer.Highly recommended.

I've only had a half-day to play with this, but I love it! Fantastic build quality, so easy to use, but more importantly, it sounds absolutely excellent!

I absolutely love this. Coupled with the Roland JD-Xi, I think this becomes the best pair of synths ever under $1k.Here's the highlights:- All parameters have easy knob control, hence its easy even for a novice to sound synthesis like me, to create interesting tones.- Amazing build quality & aesthetics (it just looks sexy)- Beautiful high quality pure analog sound- Great quality keys & action (on the stiffer side)- The little oscilloscope to see the wave formCons- Sequencer could've been much easier to use (eg. the JDXi ingeniously allows recording your live playing which automatically gets converted into the sequencer steps)- A bigger screen with other status info like current preset etc would be useful

Fun synth! Analog sound wrapped in a digital package. When you turn it on, it tells you it's tuning itself, and it's fine until it's warmed up and then it goes out of tune a little, so I make a habit of power-cycling it a couple of minutes after I power up so it can retune itself. On one hand, it's a little annoying, but on the other hand, it's analog, and I think this is just the nature of the analog beast.I wish the sequencer was easier to program, but it might just be my limited attention span to blame for that. I also wish it had a full-size keyboard, but that would bump the form factor up quite a bit if the number of keys were stay the same, and you could presumably hook it up to a full-size keyboard if you really wanted to. (I may end up doing that.)And why is there no mod controller??? I know, there are knobs to do that stuff with, maybe that's a valid reason for not having one. I do like the filter knob, it's the one big knob, which is appropriate, as it may in effect BE the mod wheel. Also, I wish this had an actual pitch bend wheel instead of the little lever, which is a little sticky once in a while until it gets worked in - pitch bend controllers have to center themselves 100%, all the time, or else they're really annoying. Seems better now that it's been used a bit.I'll call it five stars, just because it's a nice package, real wood on the back, and lots of aluminum - feels like it will hold up to a lot of use.
