that first complex pattern sold this to every aspiring future bass producer in the world in 12 seconds
Just listened to that part and instantly said "That's it. I'm sold"
@@EnjoytheRideTV they had me at Korg!
Best tutorials about minilogue xd. Good job man
Unbelievable mind-boggling information to absorb, even before I buy one of these in the future!
Thank You, Nick Kwas for your phenomenal tutorials!
KORG, You keep it comin'...Always!
You are a great teacher! I’ll search for more tutorials from you while waiting for my synth to arrive! Thank you!
Excellent video!!!! Thanks for being clear & concise.
I got mine last week and have just been diving into it myself but it's a huge amount to consume, especially when it's your first but I am so excited to get home and mess around!!
It's great that I can get this synth and most of the stuff, like this, is already familiar to me because of the Monologue and the Volca Keys.
Great video! Thanks 🙏🏼
What a great product, thank you to all the people at Korg!
Would it be possible through software update to add some more modes to the sequencer? I love the random, back and forth and stochastic modes on my Volca Modular and those would make the Miniloque xd a dream come true.
You are a great tutor!! Thank you so much for this serial of lessons. If only you could make more lessons on minilogue XX and monologue ..
Nice tutorial 👌👍
Finally shipping(U.S.)....mine arrives early next week. Volca Drum tomorrow.
Any chance of a, slightly more, in-depth tutorials on using the arpeggiator?
Excellent.Thx! /Minilogue Rookie
Minilog cd, espetacular.
cool tutorial.
I really wish we could set the time division on the arpeggiator too, not just the sequencer. Then we could create some pretty cool semirandom evolving stuff that still follow a chord progression. Like, setting the step resolution on the sequencer to 1/1 and the arpeggiator to 1/2, and then input a cool chord progression in the sequencer.
Awesome video! I have a question, how would I lock this sequencer to the tempo in Pro Tools? Sorry if this this is an obvious one. I am completely new to analog synths, and so far this XD is at the top of my list. Thanks for you time!
Colt Capperrune you can set the tempo manually to the same as your pro tools or hook up a midi chord that sends your pro tools tempo to the minilogue.
Jeff Hayes thanks for the reply! I do a lot of 8th and 16th note arp/seq with soft synths in my productions. But I always want it to land on the beat, not just be at the same tempo. I’ll have to give this a try when I pick one up.
Fantastic information! I wish I could try it out. My preorder from a month ago is still in limbo (has yet to ship), so I still have to wait. How much longer? Nobody knows for sure. XD
You need an instructional on how to ship a product! How much longer must we wait?!?
Without these intros I’d have no clue what all the knobs do!
Just do what I do with a new synth take a day and fiddle with everything while keeping the manual handy.
Does anyone know if the xd's sequencer has a metronome option for recording in realtime?
Also that arp latch feature is a really cool design choice.
Yes press the red and play first and then the motion mode to turn on the metronome.
Portamento! A great addition missing from the silver minilogue. Is there a video that explains that? Is there glide (portamento) rate control?
Scott Glasgow Music , yes!
You can make it move very fast and discreet, or give it a slow crawl between notes.
I've mentioned this once elsewhere on another video a while back (on a non korg channel), but would you be able to transpose a sequence using the keyboard or via midi, during playback? If not, then can this be added in?
Also making the sequence up to.128 steps ( I'm sure many people won't mind a couple of button presses to access each row of 16 steps), would be an excellent addition to.this fine synth.
Thank you for listening.
I used to own the original minilogue and I'm pretty sure the sequence pitch is affected by the pitch slider. So you could motion sequence that and get a whole step out of it at least.
Is it only possible to work with 16 steps as it is now?
I’m trying to get the very basics of what the sequencer does on the mini log. I don’t understand why we’re going into other features and complex shaping of sequences. Do you have a video somewhere that just gives the basic functionality of the two different sequence modes?
Hi, is it possible to change the arpeggiator's steps ? I found the parameter for the sequencer, but not for the arp. Thank you
Delivery on Friday! At 3:24 which voices are being modulated and how is the ‘beat delay’ achieved?
I've had my XD for a few months now, still a newbie. Slaved to my BeatBuddy and the system is the party. Basic synth question, is there any way to attenuate the sequence but keep volume on playing a riff over the sequence w/ a little more drive (w/o attaching a looper) ? Maybe motion sequence volume ?
I have a beat buddy pedal what do you mean you slaved it to it and how did u go about it? Cheers
Thnx..
Excellent Synth - absolutely great ! However, I can´t find a instruction in the manual how to transpose a sequence, using the keyboard, during live play.
Does anybody know how to do that?
New firmware seems to have fixed this
Is it possible to make chord progressions using the sequencer? If I have it set to chord mode, then choose the first chord to be a maj 7 for example, could i add another chord to the sequence and change it to a minor chord, while keeping the first chord a maj 7? How could I do this? Thank you
Is there any way to press play on the sequencer using an external trigger? Like, a midi trigger of some kind?
How do you get the arpeggiator to do less or more than 10 steps in up/down mode? I want 8 but can't figure it out?
I have an issue with my Minilogue . The output L R volume balance is different. How i could solve this problem? Its quite new stuff
Is there a way to make a jungle beat in minilogue’s sequencer?
How do I slow the BPM right down for my sequences? I know how to get it down to 10bpm in edit mode but it still seems to skip through the sequence quickly. If I go into Replicant and repeat the same process it really does slow it right down. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks
Novation just updated their Summit and Peak synths. When are we going to get a Prologue & Minilogue XD update? I really wish Korg would update the sequencer with more playback modes - forward, reverse, fwd-reverse, random. And probability per note would also be super powerful. Also, please fix delay sync bug when external clock is used. Seeing patch names when saving. More shift + knob functions. View current efx without having to cycle through all of them.
I know this can be used as a midi controller. Can this be used like an arturia Keystep and connect this to external synths and use the sequencer to sequence another synth module?
Can I also latch the Arpeggiator or do I have to hold the keys the whole time?
Is this per-step motion sequencing possible on the original Minilogue with firmware 2.0??
Is there a trance gate on the thing or just an arp?
¿How does the arpeggiator works? Im thinking to buy the desktop synth, but, how does the arpeggiator works, the way i will use the synth if can buy it is the next: i'm not a dotated keybordist so i will use the synth with the midi out option inside of the Fl studio wich is what i use, but how does the arpeggiator works using it at that way. Cause in the case of the Roland JD-Xi the arpeggiator only works when the notes are playing with their keys ¿you know? So the question in the desktop version of minilogue xd desktop is... how the arpeggiator will works ¿the arpeggiator will sound even if im "programming/playing" one single note or a chord? Or wich is the way the arpegios works when you using the midi output please help
Heyyoo should I use two TRS cables instead of TS to record better stereo?
There a few real basic things missing in tutorials. Saving a patch over writing a patch or not screwing up and overwriting a patch when you save but created in a new slot. How to save favourites. I know there is a patch edit program so you can save reorder to and from your computer. I don’t have my unit yet. These tutorials are great but missing a few basics

I am new in the synth world.
I have a Yamaha MO6.
Can I also use my Yamaha MO6 sounds as an input to the Minilogue XD? And change the input with the Minilogue?
Sadly, no. The Minilogue XD doesn't have an external audio input. The original Minilogue does though.
Having issues with the ARP Latch... when I flip the Latch on and play a chord.. then let go the keys, the ARP latch only plays one note repeatedly, instead of the 4 notes of the chord I held down... am I doing something wrong?
Hello, my minilogue xd only rec in sequencer not real time when I play to overdub some notes
I love the device, but how can you step record big 4-note chords for more then 2 steps. I have 2 hands needed for the keys. And push the rest button for latching the next step. Impossible to do unless you have giant hands.
I've been thinking about something similar lately, I like to hold a bass note while a melody plays, sequencing it that way is harder though, at least compared to playing live.
My sequencer is slow even when I set my tempo to 240bpm how do I fix
It is probably in slave mode to an external source try going into your midi settings and turning off midi in
Is the sequencer multitrack ? Can all four voices be played at once ?
VINYLSELEKTAZ yes you can
Hi, when I stepsequence an arp with 1/1 resolution I get pauses between steps, can this be changed?
Gao Wei Wong henge the timing of each note on the sequencer edit mode to 100% or just hold and record the note for longer
Does anyone know how I can save the sequence I just made
*Newbie question, help with sound* I adore the patch he's playing at 04:18 but have had no success trying to replicate it (I already tried a panel load of the positions on the screen) has anybody else achieved a sound like this?
I know this is a year old but you can scroll through the patches. I’m pretty sure he used a built in patch.
I have a problem i dont know why but mi latch function doesnt work with more than one note. I dont know if i am doing something wrong or i have to configure someting. Anyone else?
Sounds like its setup for external midi clock sync.
Now I understand why are so many minilogues for sale on the secondhand market for half price.
how would you sync your synth sequencer to a daw?
Also interested.
I think the USB cable does that at least it does with the Korgs I have...Easiest way of course is with an iconnectmidi and just sync it via midi
MIDI.
05:11 = Prowler by Iron Maiden
say, "Corny 80's stuff" one more time..
Corny 80's stuff
😂
"one more time" ha see what you did there..
does anyone know of a 49 key synth with a sequencer? i love the way the prologue sounds but no sequencer :(
Use this with a midi controller
Get a Squarp Pyramid. Unlimited pattern length and parameters 👌🏼
I think the DSI OB6 has a 64 note sequencer and 49 keys.
Get a Deluge its expensive but holy shit is it amazing.
OXI One. ;)
The latch mode doesn't hold down chords for me, it's just holds on the last note!
I have the same problem :-/
@@thestonmichaeljones4724 ugh, there's nothing in the manual and nothing about it online yet. I'm wondering if it's an actual problem. Mine will latch chords only if the mode is on random, but thats so useless!!!
@@thestonmichaeljones4724 Update the firmware!!!
Yeah, I've spoken to the Korg support team, who've suggested I update the firmware...can't get update mode to work now. The only information I can find is for the original Minilogue an Prologue, were you have to press key 6 and 8, while switching the synth on. Doesn't seem to work for the XD, though...?
Korg have got back to me. You need to press buttons 14 + 16, when starting up the Minilogue XD, to get in to the update mode :)
Is it completely polyphonic or is actually paraphonic?
4 voice polyphony
@@BalterBlack yeah... Does every voice have its own filter with independent ADSR?
Anyone got minilogue XD Sound Librarian to work with Windows 7 yet?
Yes. I'm using it on Windows 7. I haven't had any problems with it. Okay, I haven't used it a lot, but it's all gone smoothly, so far.
Do you have the latest version of the USB driver, the librarian and the firmware? The firmware was updated shortly before I bought mine, and that's the last thing that changed - in March.
See: www.korg.com/us/support/download/product/0/811/#software - the page can be quite slow to load. The firmware is in "Win minilogue xd/System Updater 2.10 2020.03.10 / ZIP".
You might need to try a different USB cable and a different USB port on your PC too. Ones that can only do USB2 tend to work more reliably than ones that support USB3 - in general, that is; I'm not aware of any particular problems with USB3 sockets and the Minilogue XD.
Having only four lanes for sequence programming is a slight bummer. I’m sure two more could be added with an update. Overall this synth is insane!
who was the one scrub that disliked this video?
If Korg can just actually start to listen to their customers' feedback and not abandon their products so quickly, that would be great.
:
very large conformist element to this and many other demos. makes me want to forget it. even the synths are geared toward dance music. that is not what it is about. at all.
