Description

The long-awaited desktop module of
KORG’s next-generation analog synthesizer

minilogue xd module is the new desktop module version of minilogue xd, the four-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer with a customizable digital multi-engine and built-in stereo digital effects.

The desktop module is equipped with the same controllers as the keyboard version, making it a great choice not only as an additional sound module for your keyboard or DAW but also providing excellent performability, giving you an easy way to include an analog polyphonic synth in your setup. It’s also equipped with a poly-chain function that lets you connect it with another minilogue xd or minilogue xd module so that the two units can operate as a polysynth with a total of up to eight voices in your studio or on stage.

Add the sounds of the minilogue xd to your setup or system!

Analog synth circuit plus digital Multi Engine

The voice structure of the minilogue XD module starts with two VCOs plus a Multi Engine; the signal path continues with a VCF, two envelope generators, an LFO, and a VCA. In addition to the unique circuits found in the series, such as waveshaping to shape the oscillator overtones and a Sync/Ring switch, there’s also cross modulation, a 2-pole filter that can be both fat and incisive, and a Drive switch that adds girth and drives signal into the minilogue XD’s filter. Korg hand-tuned every parameter in detail based on what modern musicians want from a synth. From warm pads to fat basses and crisp lead sounds, the minilogue XD module covers every scenario.

Hybrid sound design capabilities

The minilogue XD module offers additional sound design possibilities courtesy of its digital Multi Engine — effectively the third oscillator that complements the two analog VCOs. This engine, which is equipped with three different types of sound generator (noise, VPM, and open-source user oscillators), lets you leverage a sonic character that’s distinctly different from analog and use it at the same time as the analog engine, greatly expanding XD module’s potential through hybrid sound design.

Studio-grade digital effects

The minilogue XD’s studio-grade digital effects engine uses 32-bit floating-point DSP processing, putting the finishing touch on what is a deep and powerful sound design platform. The three effect types (modulation effects, reverb, and delay) can be used simultaneously, letting you select from a broad range of variations that include chorus, ensemble, warm tape delay, and a versatile range of great-sounding reverb types. The user effect slots let you load in your own effects programs that you’ve created.

Open-source environment for unlimited potential

The minilogue XD module is built on a customizable open-source environment that offers virtually unlimited creative potential. There are 16 user oscillator slots and 16 user effect slots that you can customize. Oscillators and user programs that you create with the Software Development Kit (as well as oscillators other users share online) can be loaded into the XD module via dedicated librarian software. With the fusion of expanded digital oscillators and analog synthesis, you can create original programs, share code, and participate in the minilogue XD user community. Korg even provides sample code to get you started!

Polyphonic step sequencer

At , one of our favorite features of the minilogue XD series is the step sequencer. Each of the factory presets has an embedded sequence pattern created with live performance in mind. The step sequencer has 16 steps and supports both real-time recording in addition to step recording. You can use the 16 step buttons to select a step directly for quick editing to replace the pitch of a step or to mute it — or even for impromptu improvisation. The motion sequence feature lets you record the movements of up to four knobs to modulate the sound, and you can record not only smooth changes in value but also values that reset precisely at each step. When you turn Keyboard mode on, the 16 sequencer buttons function as a keyboard that provides a convenient way to check the sound.

Poly Chain function for 8-voice polyphony

You can use the minilogue XD module in conjunction with another XD Series unit for poly assignment settings. By specifying one unit as the master and the other as the slave, the two 4-voice synths will play as one 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer. This supports a variety of configurations, such as using an XD module as a voice-expansion module for your minilogue XD keyboard synth or as a sound module for a DAW-based production studio.

Included software bundle

From the minute you get your hands on the minilogue XD module, you’ll have a variety of tools to take your music to the next level. It comes with a versatile software bundle that includes iZotope Ozone Elements, which lets you not only create songs but also master them using AI, Skoove (which will help you improve your keyboard playing skills), and Reason Lite DAW software, as well as soft synths from Korg and other top brands.
