Maybe THE Most Efficient Introduction to Analog Synthesis

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 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.

I love this synth. As a relative beginner, it's straightforward enough, but more importantly, a lot of fun.

Analog prevailes and progresses!

This is a huge step forward in analog technological development, this is the step analog would have taken forward back in the 80's if it wasn't for digital horning in on the party! It's cool that they've done some re-issues of classic synths recently but the Minilogue is something completely new and exciting. It's easy to use right from the start but it has such depth of features that this could be anyone's go to keyboard for nearly any type of music and keep you very busy! Great price point too, thanks Adorama for having it in stock!

Great product, great price, fast shipping

I have always wanted to try an analogue synthesizer but thought they were out of my price range. The Korg Minilogue received such great reviews at Winter Namm and on the web that I decided to order one. It was sold out and on pre-order at most every store I tried to order from. Adorama had it in stock and shipped it within a day of my order. Everything arrived in perfect condition within 3 business days as promised. The Minilogue itself is extremely user-friendly. This is extremely important to me because I have extremely bad eyesight.You don't even have to read the knobs and buttons to know what they generally do because they are very logically laid out. Making voices is fun and easy to do especially with all of the voice types you can choose. The keyboard is smaller than normal but easy to play. Using the step sequencer or recording live is also really simple and intuitive The LED is excellent, though for someone with my eyesight, it is a little small. For people with normal vision, however, I think it is a great LED. The oscilloscope is pretty cool to see as you're making voices There are a lot of great presets built into the machine that you can modify and easily copy to the additional 100 user presets. Functions are easy to access unlike in other instruments where they are heavily nested and hard to get to. It is, for example, very easy to assign a function to the angled joystick to assist in modifying sounds during live performance motion sequencing. There are also many output choices that should suit most people's needs. At $ you can't beat the features on this great synth. Korg hit it out of the ballpark with this and will got a lot more attention from me in the future. And thanks to Adorama for such great service.
