Korg Minilogue

[zvenx]

So is the name Minilogue supposed to be reminiscent of Mini Moog (pronounced the proper way), seems like it should be pronounced the same.

I wonder how these guys feel about their name being filched

btw, but the proper way rhymes with vogue

I can't tell if I really want a Minilogue or if I just have that impulse to buy any new shiny. I mean, I've already got an Andromeda, so why would I possibly need a cheap Korg with a minimal feature set? The GAS runs strong with this one...

You know you want it!

Did he forget about the hideous Korg Timbre Wolf

That was AKAI.

Thank god, for a second there I was really scared!

What's the problem with the "Wolf"?

It even got a howl knob!

OK, so i have a question for anyone who bought it:
Is it your first polyphonic analog synth, or do you already have some bigger, more expensive poly analog with more polyphony and wider range of features ?

Anyone ?

OK then another question:
Can you record 2 seconds of notes C3, C4, C5, C6, 1 saw oscillator and no other sound source, filter fully open, no effects, no unison, 24 bit WAV ?

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, ...

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

Haha, yeah. You know it! That was actually the feature I learned about last. I was already considering getting the synth because it sounds and looks freaking beautiful, but when I saw that little waveform curling around on that tiny screen... analog waveshaping... buhhhhh.... wallet prolapse!! HELP!

I'll post some audios when mine turns up, including the noise floor. Don't mind a bit of noise myself, but I guess it depends exactly how much of it there is, compared to the signal. Like the... ratio or something. The ratio of the noise to the signal. The... Oh, what's it called?

Incidentally, I'm calling mine Kylie

That's exactly what mean, I read it as rhyming with the proper pronouciation of Moog, rather than log.

Mini log sounds shit

Mini log sounds shit

Indeed dropping a Mini Log sounds like a euphemism for having a small poo.

It looks like it was built with SynthEdit

noise floor

S/N or SNR of modern analogs is usually between 80dB and 60dB, most old analogs around 60dB.

Amazing Synth but not sure if i actually have a use for it? I have watched the videos and some tutorials and it sounds lovely especially at that price! Being a complete beginner to hardware synths (my only hardware i ever owned was a ASR10) i wanted to ask some of you your opinions on if this synth would fit into the current Metro Boomin saturated trap/hip hop scene? I also like to make Grime beats.

I was going to be buying a synth audio unit but this looks like i would be more "experimental" as its hands on.


Again, do you synth experts think it would fit into the genres i enjoy?


Thanks!!!

Given the Minilogue's Cross Mod, Ring Mod, and Waveshapper functions, I think you could coax some really aggressive, but still organic, sounds out of the Minilogue that would fit well with the styles you mention.

Well, let's just wait until the dust settles from NAMM and see what else is announced.

I hear you!

Still, at the asking price and at the size, it's very tempting... it would (will?) also make for a very nice synth for "playing out".
