The Korg Minilogue is a two VCO per-voice, four-voice, polyphonic analog synthesizer from Korg,[4][1] designed by Korg engineer and synthesizer designer Tatsuya Takahashi.[5] It was announced just prior to the 2016 NAMM Show,[6] and is priced new at $499.99 in the United States,[1] ¥55,000 in Japan[5] and £449 in the United Kingdom and Europe.[7] Its official release was preceded by leaks which caused media speculation.[8]
The Minilogue XD was released in 2019.[9]
Voice modes
The Minilogue features eight distinct voice-modes:
- POLY – operates as a four-voice polyphonic synthesizer
- DUO – operates as a unison two-voice polyphonic synthesizer
- UNISON – operates as an all-unison mono synthesizer
- MONO – operates as a mono synth with sub-oscillators
- CHORD – produces chords
- DELAY – voices 2–4 sound consecutively at a delay following voice 1
- ARP – an arpeggiator operates with up to four voices
- SIDE CHAIN – when a note sounds, the volume of the preceding voice is lowered[10]
Minilogue XD
The Minilogue XD, released in 2019, includes microtunings and the sequencer from the Korg Monologue and the MULTIdigital Oscillator from the Prologue.[11][12][13]
