Korg minilogue xd 37-Keys Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer, White Keys, Bundle with TAPH100 Studio Monitor Headphones

What sets the minilogue xd Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer apart is its seamless blend of classic analog warmth and cutting-edge digital innovation. This sophisticated instrument caters to the modern musician with its advanced Prologue MULTI Engine, offering an expanded sequencer and a trio of multi-effects for boundless sound exploration. The minilogue xd is the epitome of innovation, designed to shatter expectations within its class and provide a professional-grade tool for music creation.

The heart of the minilogue xd lies in its four-voice polyphonic analog synthesis. Building on the legacy of the original minilogue, the xd version refines its voice structure with 2VCO + MULTI ENGINE, 1VCF, 2EG, 1VCA, and 1LFO. The signature circuits, including wave shaping and a sync/ring switch, are complemented by cross modulation, a crisp two-pole filter, and a drive switch that enriches the sound with harmonic depth and intensity.

Every parameter of the minilogue xd has been meticulously calibrated to meet the discerning demands of musicians, offering a spectrum of sounds from lush analog pads to robust basses and sharp lead tones. With the ability to save custom programs directly in the unit, the synthesizer comes pre-loaded with 200 presets, and a total of 500 programs can be stored, ensuring that your unique sounds are always at your fingertips.

The digital multi-engine, serving as a third oscillator, unlocks additional sound design possibilities that transcend the realm of analog. It houses three distinct sound generators - noise, VPM, and a user slot - allowing for a hybrid approach to sonic creation. The noise generator is essential for crafting percussive elements and sound effects, with a digital filter to modify the noise color.

The VPM oscillator within the multi-engine is adept at producing complex, metallic textures with its Variable Phase Modulation/FM capabilities. With 16 types of oscillators and intuitive SHAPE knob control, the minilogue xd encourages the creation of intricate sounds with ease.

User oscillators are another highlight, offering 16 user slots and a preset morphing wavetable oscillator, enabling you to load custom or downloaded oscillator programs. The high-quality digital effects, powered by 32-bit floating-point DSP processing, add the final polish to your sound design. Three effect types - modulation, reverb, and delay - can be used simultaneously, with a wide variety of settings and user effect slots for loading your own creations.

The minilogue xd's open architecture fosters a community of user customization. With the SDK (Software Development Kit), you can load custom oscillators and effects into the synthesizer via dedicated librarian software, sparking new sonic possibilities through the fusion of digital and analog synthesis.

The expanded sequencer is controlled by 16 tactile buttons, supporting both real-time and step recording. The sequencer not only allows for direct step selection but also motion sequence recording, capturing up to four knob movements for dynamic sound evolution. This feature unlocks the potential for intricate drum patterns and sound effects from a single program.

The thoughtfully designed interface includes a joystick for pitch bend and modulation, with the option to assign other parameters to its axis. The minilogue xd offers four voice modes - POLY, UNISON, CHORD, and ARP/LATCH - each with a dedicated depth knob to further shape the sound. The micro tuning function, with presets from renowned artists and space for user-created scales, invites you to explore the world of unique tunings.

The larger organic EL display now includes an oscilloscope, providing real-time visual feedback of the waveform, and a motion view display for visualizing stored sequences. The final stage stereo effect unit, stereo output jacks, a damper pedal jack, and two CV IN jacks (-5V-+5V) for external modulation control, round out the comprehensive connectivity options.

The minilogue xd comes bundled with the H&A Versa Pro Monitor Headphones, designed for high-quality sound isolation and comfort, allowing you to immerse yourself in the nuanced textures of your music. Whether you're performing live or crafting tracks in the studio, the minilogue xd Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer with Prologue MULTI Engine is a high-quality instrument that empowers you to realize your musical vision with unparalleled sophistication and versatility.
