Korg's minilogue xd represents a revolutionary leap forward in accessible analog synthesis, combining the beloved analog circuitry of the original minilogue with cutting-edge digital technology to create a hybrid powerhouse. The four-voice polyphonic synthesiser features an enhanced analog circuit with 2VCO + MULTI ENGINE architecture, delivering everything from warm analog pads to punchy bass lines and razor-sharp leads. With 200 factory presets and capacity for 500 total programs, musicians have immediate access to professional sounds whilst maintaining complete creative control over their sonic palette.
The game-changing digital multi-engine serves as a third oscillator alongside the two analog VCOs, offering three distinct sound generators including noise, VPM synthesis, and customisable user slots. This hybrid approach opens up unprecedented sound design possibilities, allowing musicians to blend traditional analog warmth with modern digital precision. The high-quality 32-bit floating point DSP effects processing provides simultaneous modulation, reverb, and delay effects, adding professional polish to any performance or recording.
What sets the minilogue xd apart is its open, customisable environment featuring 16 user oscillator slots and 16 user effect slots that can be programmed using Korg's Software Development Kit. The advanced sequencer, micro tuning functionality with 23 built-in scales (including contributions from Aphex Twin and Dorian Concept), and comprehensive connectivity options including CV inputs and stereo outputs make this synthesiser equally at home in the studio or on stage.
