Only reason I?m not giving 5 stars is because I was not told that one of the items would be on back order from the manufacturer for months. I still do not know when I will be receiving the other item I purchased, but the Minilogue XD is a sick synth.

I have been playing piano/keyboards for 50 years, but this is my first analog synth. I am very pleased with it! I had been looking at other models (Subsequent 37, Deepmind 12, and Minilogue). The Moog is awesome, but a little pricey for me. The Deepmind has a better price, but the signal path on it seems a little limiting and many of the controls are only accessible through menus (not on the front panel). Then I ran into the the Minilogue. This synth seemed to check all of the boxes for me. The price was right, it is pure analog with all of the classical filtering options, polysynth: really right down my alley. But wait, there's more! In doing my research, I stumbled onto the Minilogue XD. In addition to all of the features of the Minilogue, it throws in the ability to load in additional programs and effects. Essentially, this thing is infinitely expandable. So, after playing this synth for a couple of weeks, here are my initial impressions: Likes Intuitive layout with all of the essential controls at your fingertips. Well designed for live performance. Tons of onboard space for programs and the Librarian software give you the ability to backup and manage them. Good onboard sequencer capable of recording not only keystrokes but also parameter changes in real time or step mode. Solidly made and seems sturdy enough. Good connectivity options. Stereo output. Dislikes Keys are smaller than standard. Not a deal breaker but they take a little getting used to. Sequencer only has 16 steps. More would be better. No MIDI through. I have 2 other synths plus a drum machine to run.

The XD looks and feels like an enhanced Minilogue. It shares the same design, the same four-voice polyphony, a similar control panel, and the same velocity-sensitive mini-keyboard. But when you delve beneath its surface, it becomes clear that the XD has far more in common with the Prologue than is immediately apparent.

This thing is awesome. It's taking a bit getting used to, as we're coming from Volcas and Pocket Operators, but the sound is superb and the sequencer is easy to use.

The perfect first analog synth. I love the multi engine and the effects combined with the great ergonomics of all the knobs. Keys also feel very good for mini keys.

Become a master of sound design with the Korg minilogue xd Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer. This next-generation synthesizer is a fusion of analog and digital, offering limitless possibilities for musicians and producers. It's an evolution of the original minilogue, retaining its authentic analog sound while introducing a digital multi-engine, expanded sequencer, micro tuning functionality, and a suite of high-quality digital effects.
The minilogue xd features a 2VCO + MULTI ENGINE, 1VCF, 2EG, 1VCA, and 1LFO voice structure, allowing for a wide range of sound creation. From warm pads typical of analog to fat basses and crisp lead sounds, this synthesizer covers every musical situation. It also comes loaded with 200 presets, with the capacity to save up to 500 programs.
The digital multi-engine, acting as a third oscillator, offers sound design possibilities beyond the reach of analog systems. It includes a noise generator, a VPM (Variable Phase Modulation)/FM oscillator, and user oscillators, allowing you to load your own programs or those obtained online.
The minilogue xd also boasts high-quality digital effects using 32-bit floating point DSP processing. These effects, including modulation, reverb, and delay, can be used simultaneously, adding a finishing touch to your sound design.
The synthesizer's interface is thoughtfully designed for ease of use. A joystick controls pitch bend and modulation depth, while the voice mode offers four options: POLY, UNISON, CHORD, and ARP/LATCH. The micro tuning function allows you to adjust the pitch of each key individually, with 23 preset tunings and the ability to create and store six user scales and six user octaves.
The minilogue xd also features a larger organic EL display with oscilloscope functionality, providing real-time visual feedback of your sound design. The display can also show motion view for visualizing the movement of a stored motion sequence.
The synthesizer is equipped with a full complement of input and output jacks, including stereo output, a damper jack, and two CV IN jacks. These jacks can input modulation signals, allowing you to control parameters in the same way as moving the joystick up or down.
In summary, the Korg minilogue xd Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer is a sleek, stylish, and durable instrument that offers innovative and high-quality sound design capabilities. It's a versatile and reliable choice for both new and experienced musicians and producers.
