The minilogue xd module is a desktop version of one of the most popular synthesizers in its class. It is an excellent option for the synth enthusiast working in home studio DAW environments with a MIDI controller.
The speech structure of the minilogue xdm consists of 2VCO + MULTI ENGINE, 1VCF, 2EG, 1VCA and 1LFO. In addition to the signature circuitry in the series, such as wave shaping for the overtones of the oscillator and a sync/ring switch, there’s also cross modulation, a sharp two-pole filter, and a drive switch that adds thickness and sends the signal in. minilogue xd’s filter. The sounds range from the warm pads to fat bass and clear lead sounds.
Digital multi-engine
To further enhance its sound-shaping capabilities, minilogue xd uses a digital multi-engine that provides a third oscillator in addition to the two analog VCOs. The engine is equipped with three different types of sound generators (noise, VPM and user slot).
Noise generator
The noise generator provides four types of noise that are indispensable for percussive sounds or for sound effects. You can use the digital filter to directly change the color of the noise.
VPM Oscillator
The VPM (Variable Phase Modulation)/FM oscillator can produce sharp, metallic sounds with complex overtones beyond the capabilities of analog systems. With 16 types of oscillators and a SHAPE control, you can intuitively create complex sounds.
User Oscillators
User oscillators allow you to load your own oscillator programs. There are 16 user slots, as well as a morphing wavetable type oscillator as a preset.
High-quality digital effects The digital effects of
minilogue xd use 32-bit floating point DSP processing, adding a finishing touch to the deep sound design platform. The three types (modulation effects, reverb, and delay) can be used simultaneously, allowing you to choose from a wide variety of variations, including chorus, ensemble, warm tape delay, and a wide variety of reverb.
User customization
The minilogue xd has a customizable open environment. The unit comes with 16 user oscillator slots and 16 user effect slots that you can customize. Oscillators and user programs created with the SDK (Software Development Kit) can be loaded into the minilogue xd via the special library software. Create original programs, share code and participate in the user community. You can start with the sample code from Korg.
Polyphonic step sequencer
The step sequencer offers 16 steps and supports both real-time recording and step recording. The movement sequence lets you record the movements of up to four knobs, adding time-varying changes to the sound, and you can record not only smooth changes in value, but also values that change accurately with each step.
Micro-tuning
The minilogue xd features the micro-tuning feature featured on the monologue, allowing you to individually adjust the pitch of each key. There are also 23 preset tunings built in, including some created by Aphex Twin and Dorian Concept, and users can also create and save six user scales and six user octaves.
