I repeat a $500 analogue polysynth.

So the difference between this and MicroKorg or MiniNova is that Minilouge has got analouge signal path?

Yep. And better build quality, as first reviews seem to note.

Yes indeed, analogue costs money.

The jury's still out on how different it sounds compared to your synth examples, but in terms of having a fully analogue synth that price it's quite a feat. As Gaz Williams said "this has kicked the door open for the entire industry".

& Echoing ED's comment: Metal facepate & lovely wood vs cheap shitty done-to-death plastic.

But if they don't sound that different, why pay more for analogue?

Voice count is kind of also important in a polysynth, MiniLogue got 4, MicroKorg got 8, and MiniNova 16

Let's be clear on my comment. I said the jury's still out on the sound because the synth has only been out for 3.5 minutes. It would be a bit naive to say it's better than anything in that price range.

From what I've heard it demolishes the examples you list, but this is based off YouTube store demo's. Hardly conclusive evidence.

After 50 minutes of erm, beating, erm about the erm, bush.

It does sound different. It sounds like a proper analog synth. Other synths you mentioned have their own sound (and aliasing issues, which are non-existant with an analog synth).

OK, that is a good point.

But being a proper analog synth, hope it wont have any tuning instability issues?

"Due to the astounding popularity of this spectacular new analog synth, the first shipment that we received from Korg is already completely sold out. Without a doubt, there will be continued high demand for the minilogue, so please don't hesitate to place your order"

We still have 5 left. Also, once they start arriving in regular rotation, we'll start discounting them:

Modern analog synths don't have these issues - technology has advanced, you know?

But if it is modern, is it a proper analog synth

No, it's a proper analogue one though
