KORG Minilogue

The Korg Minilogue is an analogue, polyphonic synthesizer with a step sequencer and very wide sound synthesis possibilities. It offers a classic sound in a modern package.

Newly developed analog circuitry gives the Minilogue polyphony and full programmability - exactly what today's players want. With minilogue, you have the powerful sounds that only analog can do at your fingertips, and you can seek inspiration using the step and motion sequencer, built-in effects, or the oscilloscope display. All of these integrated features make minilogue a fun, easy-to-use yet powerful tool. It's a true next-gen analog synthesizer for all musicians.

A true analog sound.
The minilogue's synthesizer circuitry is brand new and offers options you won't find elsewhere. Completely unrivalled in its class, this analogue synthesizer with four-voice polyphony is designed to make its use as efficient as possible. Whether you're playing live or composing in the studio, the minilogue will be the fastest way to discover and realize new musical ideas in any situation.

The structure of the synthesizer consists of 2VCO, 1VCF, 2EG, 1VCA and 1LFO. Unique waveform shaping options include, for example, oscillator harmony settings, which can create very unusual sounds and compositions. In addition, Minilogue is also equipped with various types of modulation, including cross modulation, oscillator sync or ring modulator, or delay with high-pass filter. Efficient sound creation and a variety of functions are the clear hallmarks of this analogue synthesizer.

Polyphony and presets - the perfect combination.
Minilogue exceeds other analogue synthesizers in this price range by adding 200 memory locations. Select the appropriate program and you immediately have great sounds at hand - from thick basses to polyphonic solos to subtle, atmospheric sounds. You don't even need to have any deep knowledge of sound synthesis; just pick a sound and you're ready to work with it - a very popular practice among today's musicians. For those who want to delve deeper into the extensive capabilities of its sound engine, Minilogue offers a total of 200 programs; of these, there are 100 factory (but further editable) sounds, as well as 100 blank memory locations into which you can then save your masterpieces. Each of these presets can contain step sequences or delay settings in addition to the actual sound.

Voice modes.
Optional voice modes allow you to freely configure the four voices of the synthesizer. For example, the voices can be set to four-note polyphony for chords, or layered for really thick bass, etc. Other modes cover a wide range of additional sounds, from powerful octave bass development to delicate layer triggering.

Eight voice modes
POLY - four-voice polyphonic synthesizer

DUO - unison two-voice polyphonic synthesizer

UNISON - fully unison mono synthesizer

MONO - mono synthesizer with sub-oscillator

CHORD - for chord generation

DELAY - other voices follow the voice 1

ARP - arpeggiator, working with up to four voices

SIDE CHAIN - after the notes are played, the previous note is muted

16-step sequencer.
Expand your creativity with an intuitive 16-step sequencer with the ability to record motion sequences that make your sounds literally come alive. To create musical phrases and entire performances, the minilogue offers the option of either real-time recording via overdubbing or, conversely, step recording via sequentially entered notes.

Oscilloscope to visually display sounds.
As you "shape" a sound, it will be displayed on the OLED display. Such visual feedback is both fun and informative in a synthesizer, and is the first time it has been used on a hardware synthesizer.

Quality workmanship.
The uniquely shaped 2mm aluminium front panel, the metallic potentiometer lugs or the rubberised rotary knobs already underline the quality workmanship of this powerful, dynamic analogue synthesizer at first glance.

Synchronization options.
In addition to the standard MIDI connectors, the minilogue is also equipped with a sync connector through which it can be easily and simply synchronized with KORG groove devices. So you can connect it to the Volca, Electribe or SQ-1 series, for example, and enjoy a session with synchronized sequencer playback.
