    I recently bought a Minilogue for my first synth (first keyboard even, I don't even know music theory, nevermind scales, chords or actual notes), and this video made me feel a hell of a lot better about messing around on it.

    I've been waiting for this video. Everyone needs a Monologue. Just enough synth to inspire you, but not so much as to overwhelm you with menu diving and shift buttons.

  • @DaveZiffer
    @DaveZiffer Před 6 lety +34

    Wow. Thanks for an incredibly well-done tutorial. It's an incredible tool not only for owners but for prospective buyers who want to know whether this machine will meet their needs. I would think Korg should be interested in paying you to post this video on their sales site.

      I was thinking about getting a second, cause right now using mine for the bassline in my jams and its like too nice to just be the bassline but at the same time its a really dope bass. I think we will see used monologues under 200 bucks soon, thats when I'll get a second one, thinking black or red to go with my blue one.

    Cool tutorial, and I prefer synths with knobs and buttons than just a screen and menus diving etc... My 4 year old loves our BSII, and even she is starting to understand how to shape a sound.

    • @MediaMusik777
      @MediaMusik777 Před 6 lety +1

      not much menu diving but there are hidden features and adjustments to be made to tailor your playing styles..The dutch bass and soundtrack free packs are beyond the best I have heard for presets

    @Ross_From_Synthetica Před 26 dny

    This is a great video! I originally just wanted a basic synth with a decent sequencer, but you showed there's so much more that can be done, and that it's not that hard. I'm not an expert yet, but I think if I watch this video regularly I'll be able to get the most out of my Monologue. Thanks for breaking it all down!

  • @Hyper5nic
    @Hyper5nic Před 4 lety +3

    Thank you very much for this in depth review of the Monologue.
    Some years ago, I got 2 little monotrons (MonoDelay - MonotronDuo) and the filters and sounds are very similar.
    Maybe This year I'll switch to this little synth to have more control.
    Wishing you a great week, with lots of electronic and musical fun, cheers!

  • @seek4truth
    @seek4truth Před 4 lety +4

    I have an idea for a video or video series: here you have assumed we know what is vco, vca, lfo, decay, gate, resonance, etc etc and showing how these works on this synth. What if someone is really newbie and wants to start learning or is curious or deciding whether to enter this domain or not. Those terms are daunting and there are many to learn and understand. It would be cool if you could make a video or video series for absolute beginners and teach all of these, theoretically and then practically on a synth one by one so we could learn basics of synthesis and synthesizers...

      Chromacaps are softish and rubbery and very nice. Coolorcaps are more like a hard eraser feeling, a little more crisply shaped, and more saturated in color. Both are great. I lean towards Coolorcaps.

    Excellent video Jade. This is a great synth to start with as a beginner but it's also a great mono synth to use in the studio for pro's as well. It's also an ideal portable option to use while away from the main studio and only have battery powered options to create with. Paired with a Novation Circuit and a Boss BR Micro 80 4 track digital recorder you can create and record music without having to use a computer
