It's amazing to hear the the same patch run through different voice modes. I just got my Chorus/Reverb/Delay pedal today and will be putting it through the paces. Your lead becomes amazing at 6:00 when you kick that in. Well done!
+Robert Saint John Thanks! I think we should do an INIT patch challenge on the forum. Everyone start with an INIT patch and you get 5 minutes or something to take it through a mangling process. Everyone upload a video. Sounds fun
" It is taking me a bit to figure out how this machine wants to be loved." It's exactly what i am going through with mine... It can be a frustrating machine but sometimes it shines pure awesomeness.
You've made the Minilogue sing! It looks lie this synth can sound smooth after all. Most demos I've heard had way too much resonance and over the top cross mod, etc. It's a cool little synth!
Well, your videos have turned me around on getting the Minilogue. I had dismissed it for a while based on 95% of the videos out there that make it sound like it can't do warm vintage synth sounds. Apparently the problem was that 95% of people who've posted Minilogue videos don't know how to close a filter at all... Thanks for helping me decide this year's synth purchase. Also, great music and playing, :)
Liking this alot..people almost seem a little affraid to praise the Minilogue too much but only judging from demos I'd say it covers most of my bases and if I would only be alowed one synth, this would be it. There...said it.
+Olle Andersson It does have some limitations, especially in the modulation routings. But it sounds full and alive and can do so much, I might have to agree with you.
Hey bro is it possible to activate the vibrato / lfo like we used to do in mod wheel? Since it only has pitch cmiiw though....really lookin fwd for minilogue but thats my consideration...thx anyway
***** You can assign the mod lever to all kinds of parameters. But not two at once unfortunately. So you could use it that way, but then you'd not have a pitch bend.
Thank u so much for the reply man, really helps! Also 1 more question is it possible to assign it on 1 of the knobs? Or its already hv that modulation / vibrato knob on it?
+LLOYD POPP I"m not sure I understand the question. The vibrato is a combination of the LFO and rate knobs. You set the depth with the INT knob and the LFO target select on Pitch, then the rate with the Rate knob. You can assign the modulation lever to either one of those parameters.
+VolcaRock It can sound really warm. It can also sound brittle and harsh. If you listen to this at around 1:20 I think you'll see what I mean by warm. I also just put up a video with me just programming pads. Again, it can sound really warm to me, or brittle if you want it to also.
+Earmonkey Music +Ronnie Perez Thanks a lot guys for your input, Depending on what other synths you play "warm" is a subject opinion, we can not really measure it;-) but anyway it sounds great!
hello, i just bought this and I'm trying to figure out how to have the a sequence going while at the same time playing over it. Is that possible? also I was wondering if you figure out how to save edited patches so that i can recall a sound whenever i want without having to tweak any knobs or look for the sound once again.
In order to really play over the top of a sequence you will probably need to make sure you're in Poly mode. Otherwise, the notes will just steal from each other. To save a patch, just press the WRITE button and it will ask you where you want to save the patch. Dial in the number of the patch you want to write to and hit WRITE again! There you go! have fun!
Thanks! The synths are really nice, and running them through the Roland tape delay really adds something. I like to think my patch programming and playing style has something to do with it too. lol
Great vid, but one question.. What if I find a sound perfect for my own song, and afterwords I have to play it live, with EXACT the same specifications as before.. How should i do that? Thanx in advance.
Thanks for the reply. I was going to get one...just for messing about with really. I cannot play the keyboards. I was going to get a Mother 32 but this minilogue seems a better bet for the novice.
The Mother is better if you can't play keyboards I think. But the Minilogue might be a more accessible place to start if you don't know anything about synthesis. There are more knobs and no CV patch points
I'm looking to get either this or a Korg ms-20 mini, and I can't really decide between the two. Does anybody have any recommendations? If so that would be amazing.
The advantage to the Minilogue is you can play up to four notes at a time while the MS20 only plays one. But the MS20 has way more possibilities for designing sound. If you want to play keys this might be a better choice. But if you want to go crazy with sound design, the MS20 might better suit you. The Minilogue is also much easier you approach.
Hey man, When I'm using my sequencer and change the filter knob. It change the sound. But when I release the knob. The filter also goes away. How is this possible? Can you help me
Not sure I understand. HAve you recorded a motion sequence? If you have, then the filter setting is being adjusted by the sequencer to whatever you recorded. You can clear the motion sequencing and see if that fixes it. Cheers!
i hope the sequenceur is not the same as the krome sequenceur, because the krome sequenceur...stop... after it reach 999 measures....i dont want that, i want the sequenceur never stop, infinite loop.
+drouk22 As far as I know this will play forever. It's a whole new design. If i understood what they were saying at NAMM, it's really a ground-up synth. So they didn't pull stuff from other synths.
peanut monkey 1. The description describes the setup with the FX used. 2. You can plug it in to something that amplifies sound and it'll work. Not just speakers. Active speakers, probably but there is only one output. 3. No.
Earmonkey Music, don't remember if i asked before, can you share what light do you use, please? I would buy it to create atmosphere while playing. I really need an atmosphere to get inspired... Not necessarily the brand, just what kind of a light to look at? Thanks!
+Hal T I really appreciate the compliments! I get the Mac thing too. I have a love-hate relationship with Apple. Or should that be a hate-love relationship...
Ahh okay. I did go back to the beginning when I first heard it but couldn't tell for sure. Awesome! I love how you started the video with a simple wave. Very helpful demo. (:
Yes you can! So you could actually save the same patch to several presets, and have a different sequence for each one. I do not recall though how it works with the timing. I think the change is immediate so you might have some issue with the clock if you don't hit the change right on.
Earmonkey Music Awesome! Thanks! I’m going to wait for Namm to see what Korg’s new synth is but I was considering the minilogue as a companion to my Prophet and Moog.
Hella random, but you're either shirtless or you have a tank top on? lol... Anyways great video man! Would be dope to see how you have your hardware setup to run inside ableton... I just bought a Minilogue and am able to record in ableton. But I'm very new to hardware and it'd awesome to see differnt techniques on how route this inside of ableton. You da man!!! PEACE
The audio from the Korg goes into my mixer, then from the mixer to a Tascam audio interface, then in to the computer and gets recorded in Ableton Live.
DENNIS BEBEBEBE I preordered a Monologue. Not sure you're going to get too much Minimoog out of the Minilogue. In mono mode it can get pretty thick when you dial in a couple of suboscillators. But it's nowhere near as powerful sounding as a Moog
hey!! really nice video...!!! can you also add your own recorded sounds on the minilogue and edit them? please reply to my message mr earmonkey, nobody does. thank you. :)
when you go into that high pitch robot synth stuff that's where you lose me it's like me wanting to kick you out of the band the way the styx guy just needed to be gone too much high pitch synth will get you fired because it's not 1977 anymore and the synth isn't new

My first artglass instructor once told me: observation is your best teacher. I'm learning volumes by just watching you. Thanks for your help.
Probably the first video I see of someone demonstrating the sequencer for real. Nice !
Just bought one of these and have barely played it thanks to all the great demo videos 😅 I keep getting sucked in!!!
Glad you're enjoying the videos! Have fun with the Minilogue!

6 49 that synth sings nicely
" It is taking me a bit to figure out how this machine wants to be loved." It's exactly what i am going through with mine... It can be a frustrating machine but sometimes it shines pure awesomeness.
nicest sounds of all the minilogue demos, especially the arp ! well done man
absolutely gorgeous. can't wait to get mine
+Chewy Jetpack You're going to love it...
+Earmonkey Music omg I know. very excited. I just put down the deposit to reserve mine. should have it in a couple of days! love those arps btw :)
Man, that sounds good!!! You manage to get some really interesting sounds out of the minilogue !
Pablo Arias thanks! It's s fun synth!
Really nice! I think your lightshow adds to the warmth ; )
Earmonkey, what is you light? I want the same. Thanks!
You've made the Minilogue sing! It looks lie this synth can sound smooth after all. Most demos I've heard had way too much resonance and over the top cross mod, etc. It's a cool little synth!
Now if I could only shred like you.
A very enjoyable demo, it seems the minilogue does share similarities with the microkorg XL with additional features. Thanx for sharing!
Well, your videos have turned me around on getting the Minilogue. I had dismissed it for a while based on 95% of the videos out there that make it sound like it can't do warm vintage synth sounds.

mk win thanks! I am always a bit confused when people say it sounds digital or cold. It can do so much.
Lovely sounds at the end of the clip
Thanks for sharing...I too am learning from watching. I would also recommend listening with some good headphones to pick up some nuances of the sound.
Liking this alot..people almost seem a little affraid to praise the Minilogue too much but only judging from demos I'd say it covers most of my bases and if I would only be alowed one synth, this would be it. There...said it.

Unique classy little synth. Thanks alot Earmonkey .. you just cost me $499.00 lol
Money well spent ;)
really beautiful sounds inside!
+VolcaRock It is very warm and just invites discovery
Earmonkey Music You are the first ownerwho describes it as warm :-) Still waiting for mine to discover!
+VolcaRock It can sound really warm. It can also sound brittle and harsh. If you listen to this at around 1:20 I think you'll see what I mean by warm. I also just put up a video with me just programming pads. Again, it can sound really warm to me, or brittle if you want it to also.
+VolcaRock It definitely can sound very warm. It just happens to have a talent at making very immersive cold sounds.
+Earmonkey Music +Ronnie Perez Thanks a lot guys for your input,
Depending on what other synths you play "warm" is a subject opinion, we can not really measure it;-)
but anyway it sounds great!
great demo
Nice! I love the minilogue
love this thing
Just checking emails real quickly at 2:48
Lol. Actually I was turning on the Valhalla FX in Ableton.
Inspiring video!
Good demo, inspiring lights :-D
thank you
Thinking about getting one, it would be my first synth and my friend is selling to me for $400. Should I take it?! Need to know asap!
Nick Burgess YES

Save it! There are 100 blank patch slots
I have a question, how to use sustain pedal on minilogue? I tried many ways (connect to controllers, or DAW) but didnt work
Bravo
Кайфово крутишь!
Nice sounds. Can you put external music sources through this?
+Doktor Uzi Yes you can. I have run my Mother 32 through it, but I don't care for it as much as just running it through another channel.
Thanks for the reply. I was going to get one...just for messing about with really. I cannot play the keyboards. I was going to get a Mother 32 but this minilogue seems a better bet for the novice.
The Mother is better if you can't play keyboards I think. But the Minilogue might be a more accessible place to start if you don't know anything about synthesis. There are more knobs and no CV patch points
+Earmonkey Music
Many thanks for your opinions. ...decisions, decisions...
+Doktor Uzi I think it would be more fun playing the Minilogue, as it actually feels like playing a keyboard.

Do you have synth patches for the Moog Sirin?
Hey man,
When I'm using my sequencer and change the filter knob. It change the sound. But when I release the knob. The filter also goes away.
How is this possible? Can you help me

I don't understand. It has 16 steps only. It will loop and loop. It will only play the sound you have active because it is not multi timbral
the korg krome sequenceur loop and loop too but when reach 999 measures, it stop
+drouk22 FOR EVER
the sequence goes eternity!
Is it possible to set a sequence to play only when you hit a key, transposed to the note you press?
Lucian Rex I don't believe so unless there's an update
Arp latching now possible in latest firmware.
Sweet!
This is different however from transposing sequence though which may be what you meant ? That however is possible on the monologue.
I like !
I want !
Echo Kraft
Is this a sound from Korg, nothing added?
Also can i just plug in this keyboard to active speakers and play?
Also) is analogue better than digital?
peanut monkey 1. The description describes the setup with the FX used. 2. You can plug it in to something that amplifies sound and it'll work. Not just speakers. Active speakers, probably but there is only one output. 3. No.
One output, ha. Thank you very much for your reply!

What is that "Orthotic" thing you were using sort of like a computer mouse?
The white thing? It is a mouse. For the iMac. I was starting the FX ib Ableton
+Earmonkey Music Aha! (Mac and I had a falling out many years ago; I'm not familiar with his current accessories.) Thanks!! (Love your videos.)
+Hal T I really appreciate the compliments! I get the Mac thing too. I have a love-hate relationship with Apple. Or should that be a hate-love relationship...
What kind of stereo effect you enabled at 2:55?
Is this the only way to create sequences on this keyboard?
You can play them in live too. But there's no metronome so when you start from zero, sometimes step editing is easier to get the timing right.
thanks man
Did you program the melody at 9:10? Sounds really good.
Yes actually it's the same sequeo as in the beginning but with the voice mode set to arp. And it's one I programmed
Ahh okay. I did go back to the beginning when I first heard it but couldn't tell for sure. Awesome! I love how you started the video with a simple wave. Very helpful demo. (:
Can you alternate between sequences by switching between patches?
Yes you can! So you could actually save the same patch to several presets, and have a different sequence for each one. I do not recall though how it works with the timing. I think the change is immediate so you might have some issue with the clock if you don't hit the change right on.
Earmonkey Music Awesome! Thanks! I’m going to wait for Namm to see what Korg’s new synth is but I was considering the minilogue as a companion to my Prophet and Moog.

I was wearing a t-shirt lol
what preset are you playing at 9:00 ? sounds extremely cool
I didn't use any presets at all. Just started with an INIT patch. It's explained in the description
Can u compare it to the System-1 ?
TechkiV I do not have a System 1. I did have the 1m but sold it. They are very different from the Minilogue
hi, please where does the korg record the music. in a card or in a hdd? thanks
The audio from the Korg goes into my mixer, then from the mixer to a Tascam audio interface, then in to the computer and gets recorded in Ableton Live.
thanks!!!

HOW MANY MINIMOOG SOUNDS CAN YOU GET OUT OF THE MINILOG? HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT ADDING A KORG MONOLOG 299.00
DENNIS BEBEBEBE I preordered a Monologue. Not sure you're going to get too much Minimoog out of the Minilogue. In mono mode it can get pretty thick when you dial in a couple of suboscillators. But it's nowhere near as powerful sounding as a Moog
hey!! really nice video...!!! can you also add your own recorded sounds on the minilogue and edit them? please reply to my message mr earmonkey, nobody does. thank you. :)
The Minilogue does not let you add any samples, if that's what you're talking about.
yea thats what am asking ...thank you :)
What camera did you use to record this? :D
Canon 5D Mkii with a 24-70 f/2.8L lens. Doesn't hurt when your wife does wedding photography
it's a decent synth but it's terrible trying to keep it in tune
when you go into that high pitch robot synth stuff that's where you lose me it's like me wanting to kick you out of the band the way the styx guy just needed to be gone too much high pitch synth will get you fired because it's not 1977 anymore and the synth isn't new
argiletonne So what you're saying is I sound like Dennis DeYoung? He's one of my synth heroes! Thanks bro!
is that his name. no I said you are playing the way he would play, how could you sound like him you're not even making any sound the keyboard is.
argiletonne... Seriously ??? Well that's certainly a 1970s attitude to music tech.
