Meet the modern analog synth for everyone. The Korg Minilogue gives you 4-voice polyphony, 2 waveshape-able analog oscillators and 100 easy-to-tweak presets.

Overview

Korg's groundbreaking new minilogue is a fully programmable four-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer; complete with a 16-step polyphonic note and motion sequencer, arpeggiator, and delay. With its high-quality construction, rugged rubber-coated PCB-mounted knobs, and easy to understand signal flow, minilogue is designed to inspire and captivate musicians and analog enthusiasts on all levels.

Hear the Minilogue make waves in this video demo from Korg:

A new Voice Mode lets users choose how the four available voices are configured; from Polyphonic to Duophonic to Unison and beyond. In addition to offering up information on presets and editable parameters, the OLED display also features a real-time oscilloscope, providing functional and eye-catching visual feedback on the sound being played; a feature never before seen on a hardware synth.

The inviting layout, uniquely curved sand-blasted aluminum panel and real Pyinkado wood back panel gives the roadworthy minilogue a standout look to complement its powerful and dynamic sound creation capabilities.

Features:

- Four-voice, fully programmable polyphonic analog with presets and a powerful, flexible architecture for amazing versatility in sound creation and exploration. Voice Mode allows the user to configure voices: Polyphonic, Duopohonic, Monophonic, Chord, Unison, and more!
- 16-step poly note and motion sequencer & tape-style delay (both savable per preset); OLED display with oscilloscope for educational and fun visuals… read more of the sound being played.
- Superior build and a fantastically standout new look featuring curved aluminum panel, rugged chassis-mounted metal shaft pots, rubber-coated knob and a solid pyinkado wood rear panel!
- 200 editable preset locations with 100 preloaded.

"Maybe THE Most Efficient Introduction to Analog Synthesis"

Overall:

(see rating details)

The Korg Minilogue is a SUPER fun & intuitive analog synth for everyone from beginners to seasoned synthesits. I've been programming synths for 20 years and this was just as fun as the first synth I ever used. Its analog sound is wonderful and thick. Almost everything has a knob or switch for control and, for the patches I was making, I never went into the menus for further editing beyond naming patches and setting sequencer settings. The shape control of the oscillators gives a lot of variation to your standard waveforms and the sync/ring-mod, cross modulation, & pitch envelope of oscillator two really open up the sonic possibilities. I very much enjoy the dedicated switch for velocity modulation of the filter cutoff and I like that there are only two modulation depths beyond none. My favorite feature of the Minilogue is the envelope modulation of either the rate or the intensity of the LFO. This really gives a sense of motion to what is already a sense of motion from the LFO. My only complaint is that the LFO doesn't go fast enough for analog-FM style tones. It's not nearly as fast as the LFO on the Monologue but that's more of an observation that a full drawback. I really enjoyed the different voice modes of this synth, really finding mono, which introduces a variable level sub, and chord, which creates various fixed chords, to be the most useful beyond the standard poly mode. This is by far the best poly synth I have ever found for someone who is interested in learning analog… read more synthesis. The knobs and switches along with the actual layout of them makes programming make sense and a joy to use. The Minilogue does have mini-keys but the mini keys Korg has been using for their new synths are really great. Much better than the microKORG. With the Minilogue, Korg really show us that there will always be room for one more analog synth.
