The answer is in the name

Or analogue.

I prefer Analog, saves me having to type "ue"

Analog - American English. Analogue - British English.

I gotta admit that MiniLogue looks a lot better on paper than MiniLog, the latter is more for selling small pieces of firewood

Or just English

I winder if they will be able to make the 3.5mm jack sync socket CV/Gate capable like they did with the Monotribe (with a firmware update)

Bonners Music UK, £430, free shipping. Should arrive by the end of the month if not sooner. There's been a bit of a rush on them

One thing that really tipped the boat for me was the analog waveshaping on the triangle and sawtooth waveforms. So now the "Pulsewidth" knob isn't useless on these waveforms, on the triangle it folds the wave back gradually, and on the sawtooth it sort of bends the polarity of an increasing portion of the wave until you're left with a wave that looks like a mixture of square and triangle. Of course, the most interesting waves are the inbetween ones.

(no stupid crossfading between two waves here!)

Honestly, I'm sick of static triangle and sawtooth waveforms. On top of that you have sync, ringmod, FM, noise, hp/lp filters (hp non resonant, but still very useful), and just so many features. And it looks really well built.

They knocked it out of the park on this one, IMO.

I agree... impressive versatility... well done Korg!

Agreed, it's a cool feature. I think a big part of what makes great synths like the Minimoog and MS20 sound the way they do is the saturation that softens and squares off their oscillators, which this simulates.

when checking out the Minilogue YT videos today and saw the triangle bend like that, I thought to myself: oh boy, Sendy would love this!

Got a great deal on the Rode iXY so ordered that instead 2 days ago, but I can't wait to start saving for this synth!

I really hope that it won't have noise problems (like people complained with some batches of the MS-20 mini) and what-not other "invisible" things like that

No ETA yet but it's 899 AUD
I scored a new Pulse 2 last week for 599, hopefully in my postbox on monday

$999AUD is the retail (info direct from Korg Australia) and a couple of online stores have it listed at that price.
StoreDJ has it listed at $899, but stock isn't expected until the beginning of next month.
