The Korg minilogue xd follows the proven, direct operating concept of its predecessors and also offers exciting new features. The clearly arranged, four-part instrument can be played directly over 37 keys. A total of 500 memory spaces give you room to store and create your own sounds. The Polyphon, Unisono, Chord, and Arpeggiator modes are available for creative use of the voices.
In addition to the two powerful analog oscillators with variable waveforms, there is now a new type of digital oscillator that accommodates various simplified tone generation forms (a total of 32 variants) including four noise forms. The generated spectrum is supplemented by hard sync, ring modulation and cross modulation. The filter is balanced analog with a subtle bite.
The minilogue xd also features a polyphonic step sequencer which, together with the currently active voice assignment, can conjure up different results from the same sequence. Up to four parameters can be recorded and played back in the sequencer. This is how real life comes into the pattern and you have your hands free again after the input. Before the sound is delivered to the audio outputs, the last step is a high-resolution OLED display that displays the waveform of the sound in real time. It should not go unmentioned that the xd has two switchable CV inputs; modular enthusiasts should be particularly pleased about this feature.
The sound is refined with a rich effect palette that draws on a total of 35 different modulation effects such as phaser, chorus, flanger etc., 20 different delays and 18 reverb variants.
A new classic synth - With a wide range of patches, infinite deep, rich, warm sounds and open source technology. the Korg Minilogue XD is an affordable powerhouse for beginners and experienced users alike.
Not limited to the confines of factory presets, the open source development API (Application Programming Interface) allows users to extend the possibilities of the hardware via an SDK (Software Development Kit) and dedicated development tools to create custom digital oscillators for the MULTI ENGINE, and custom modulation effects to expand the existing modulation effects.
This is a gateway synth only limited by your imagination.
Such a powerful synth with a rich sound at a very good price point. You really can’t go wrong with it! The keys are a little small and don’t feel the best but the rest of the product is solid. The wooden backboard is also a very nice touch.
Easy to use, very intuitive. Lovely sound. You quickly get how to play and go in the deep with it. I love the size, it’s easy to carry, really easy to set up. Beautiful design. I love it and recommend it for live performing and for work in the studio.
