wow, you actually went through everything instead of just marvelling at the cutoff knob for 20 minutes like everyone else
Hahaha! I still find the cutoff nice though
Lol
I don't disagree on the tutorial aspect, but please show me a video on TH-cam where somebody is just marvelling at the cutoff knob for 20 minutes.
@@X22GJP this is called comedic exaggeration
This is probably the most informative XD video on TH-cam. Nice work man, such a great presentation and cool sounds too 👍👍
agreed!!
Most definitely!!
I've had this thing for about a year and this is HANDS DOWN the best tutorial on how to use it. Thank you
Terrific and succinct tutorial! I got my MXD only today and now already know the most important things thanks to you! 🙏 It's also great that you even explain all the necessary basics and put things into context in a very pleasant way, showing that you know your stuff and making this even a generic synthesizer tutorial. Very much appreciated!
Excellent overview/tutorial of the Minilogue. You have a nice soothing voice that made 35mins not feel like torture. Thanks for making such a nicely produced video.
amazing overview for the Minilogue XD, awesome work dude. Basically all of the questions I had about this synth were answered and you gave me a lot of things to try out when I get one!
Decided to look for a video on the XD, have it for a couple of months now. It's like you knew I was going to search by uploading it today. :D Anyways, great tut. Thanks a lot mate.
That's the best video about this device I have seen. So informative and detailed. I loved it, especially the fact that you talked about every little thing you did. Because of problems with eye sight I sometimes find it difficult to follow different youtube tutorials. People tend to say something like: this knob chooses types of something. But I can't see neither which knob they mean nor what types of choosen thing are being selected. You however talked about everything, available options, actions you performed etc. You even described the whole device in such order that I could easily sit in front of one and follow your instructions no problem. You have no idea how helpful it might turn out to be for me in the future. Thank you very much for that! 😀❣️
Thank you for a super informative video. I've just got my Minilogue XD and realise this is going to be one big learning curve. what a superb instrument!!! Amazing Synth engines, infinite sound options, great sequencer and arpeggiator for live playing. ...Perfect for any lockdown ;-) .... will be exploring the edit and shift buttons!! Many thanks again!
Man you know everything about this synth, well done! Very informative. I have this instrument and had no idea what is was capable of until now.
That was almost like a freaking manual with audio examples. Great information and very useful!!
Very very good video. I've had this machine since it's Canadian release and you've taught me things I hadn't yet discovered. Thank you!
No ones ever reviewed this synth as well as you have. Super helpful little tips and tricks I never heard before!
You are the only one who have gone through the whole synth with great detail in a really short time compared to all the others who take hours and still be confused by the end. You have an amazing skill of a great teacher ❤❤
By far the best and most useful and informative video about the monologue xd, thank you. So many possibilities with this instrument, clearly demonstrated on your video,
great job.
Minilogue XD!! 😁
@@TeknoBrewski303 yes that was the first one I bought, the Monologue obviously not the monologue xd, must have been tired when I posted that 😁
I keep coming back to this video and learning new ideas each time!
Watched twice. Moved from 'watch later' to 'favourites'. Will watch another 2 times. Thanks.
You touched yourself to this didn't you.
cringe
@@storyoptics4964 lmao
Really clear explanation of all the functions. Excellent review!
I love the intro!!
Thanks for the amazing video!
Great video! Very informative, best tutorial I’ve seen yet on the XD, thanks so much!
this video finally settled it for me I just ordered this Im so excited for it to come in
One of THE BEST synth introductory demos online. Synth companies should hire you!
cool walkthrough! just got the machine and it really helped me get the lay of the land.
Thanks!
Sincèrement merci pour tout le taff effectué! Si toutefois tu arriverais à sous-titrer ça serai tueur... Il y a tellement peu de vidéo sur ce synthé en français !
Thank you, inspiring me to delve deeper into this synth, I have a lot of learn!
Best straight forward review ! Keep on!
Very good video! I definitely got some new knowledge, and you helped explain a couple things better than I understood them. Thank you!
Excellent breakdown, well done Sir.
This is amazing man...best overview yet! You've inspired me....
I loaded the Korg Minilogue XD ULTIMATE PATCHES Vol 123 and I really don't need anything else. IT saves so much time, the patches are just spot on to a lot of pop 80's + sounds, which is a fantastic place to start building. The sequences are excellent too.
Where did you get them
Best video for this synth on TH-cam! Thank you!
That's some fine work integrating so much of the sonic palette in the intro. Big up!
Thanks a lot!
Brilliant and inspiring thank you I'm a late arrival to this awesome synth - everything I need to know in this video
Me too I just got mine about 1 week ago and I’m in love
Excellent ! J'ai l'impression d'avoir tout compris... Excellent tuto ! Merci beaucoup. Cela doit représenter une belle somme d'heures de travail !!!
@@Woochia Mais une âme tellement enrichie par tout ce travail, c'est de l'or en barre...
Thank you very much for this. Mine is being delivered in August and can't wait to get down and dirty with it.
Brilliant review! Great work!!
Amazing overview, many thanks.
the absolutely best video on the minilogue xd. on point!!
Fantastic review. With already having a Monologue I hadn't paid much attention to these, but I'm starting to think that I might need one - hahaha.
Wicked man!!... a whole tutorial to get going, thanks very much man!! 👍🏽
WOW. Thank yo so much, I can tell a ton of work went into this, keep it up!
Great that you can listen to the sounds with the actual knobs and switches assignment. It would be a great exercise (at least for the newbies like me) to recreate the sounds after pushing Shift-Play!
I've stopped on 33.35 Before your conclusion, so I can give my conclusion, not on the minilogue XD, I mean we all know its awesome! BUT on Woochias performance. MAN! you really know your stuff, and when mine arrives I will be playing and replaying this tutorial/review many times as I learn and try to understand what everything does and how everything affects everything else, I know it will be a long journey(I'm not a muso) but with your help it will be easier. I am giving you a big THUMBS UP, and subscribing, I just wish I could do more! Now to watch the conclusion.
Superb video, this is practically a tutorial!
Awesome video, keep it up!
Great tutorial! Good job! Thanks for sharing.
Great Video - Just bought one and this was priceless -well done
Thank you for your work, it is the best explanation I have. From Mexico I greet you.
Just bought one and im over the moon with how good it is !!! Well done Korg!! J 👌👌
THANK YOU! Awesome review!!!
Thanks man! Your reviews is the best in youtube! I buy volca drum and minilogue xd after watching your videos)))
Awesome Video! Thanks a lot. Im a User too and i learned a lot from you. Incredible Synth.
Great review/tutorial very informative
nice work! Very informative!
I really love the introduction song made with that amazing Minilogue XD!! * o*
Just got mine, great vid...thanks more vids pls
amazing video!!! thanks!
Great review!
Great video man!!
For a guitarist ( me ) with little knowledge of analogue synths this is a good tutorial. I just bought the Miniloque XD, it sounds great and with this tutorial I can make my own sounds!!!!
Hope you have a great time with it :)
Fantastic tutorial for a great piece of kit
Hey ! Bonne vidéo qui fait BIEN le tour du synthé comme il faut.
Thank you for this video - great job! I am looking to get this machine to replace my Korg-770. Thank you again!
Yes, 2 years later we are still using your review. Thank you. I have not found a good analog poly synth yet for under $1000 U.S., but this will probably be the one for me. It will be mated with the XD module for more oscillators or 8 voices.
What about the deepmind?
@@robertsteinberger5667 I just can't invest my money in Behringer, over the last 20 years all the gear I have purchased from this company failed in 2 years or less. I will be going digital instead: a System8, or JupiterX or Summit, or HydraSynth with the first being a Boutique JD-08 and JX-08.
great review!
Great video. Thanks 🙌
Great video. I've got an XD coming, and I shall use this video as my manual :-)
Hey :) , if you want these patches: th-cam.com/video/i2rq9cMMt2s/w-d-xo.html I can sell them for 5$ :D
Amazing content 👏🏾
Learned a lot here, thank you!!!!
Best tutorial on TH-cam hands down
intro sold me!
Great video. I've had my XD for a couple of months now and you have taught me a couple of things I had no idea existed. Reversing the LFO has made a big difference to some sounds I use. I agree this is an awesome synth. I also have a Microfreak and the combination is hard to beat :)
@@Woochia Tim Shoebridge makes some great ones. th-cam.com/video/HY5HaA5I_lc/w-d-xo.html
I used to spend most of my time sequencing - but with the xd, I find myself just imputing a few notes on the sequencer, pressing play, and getting lost in sound exploring. Really easy to get lofi textured sounds. A few more LFOs and more arp and sequencer modes (random, ping pong, reverse) would be huge with a new update!
tnx! great review!
You had me in the intro. :)
MONO BPM delay with Time set to 1 bar & depth set to 100%, you basically get a delay looper that you can stack notes with. learned this from watching Dakim's Boiler Room Set video and incorporated it here lol
Interesting being that he's using a sampler, but I just tried it out on my XD and it definitely works! :)
very good video. thank you !
Thank you very helpful!
Très bon tuto, merci beaucoup ! I appreciate
@Woochia's Beats & Bobs Pour avoir la totalité des infos sur tout c'est tellement important de comprendre l'anglais ^^. J'hésite à lancer une chaine en full anglais ou faire du contenu FR avec sous titres.
@@Woochia Si si on est, on apprend et on découvre tout en entretenant la langue de Shakespear, quoi de mieux ?
thanks for this perfect video!
great vid!
I recently bought it after getting into synths about 6 months ago, you helped answer a few small questions I had and yes the only bad thing on is 16 steps, I love it but it seems like a strange non creative limit.
@@Woochia Korg has an update for the firmware (2.0?) The arpeggiator can now change rate from 1/1 to 1/64
*This is how you make a video!* Other TH-camrs take note! I really want to get the Minilogue XD also, it seems pretty rad.
It is pretty rad x)
Amazing video.
Nice work man!!! I'll subscribe for more 👍👍👍
I changed my mind, and decided on the Minilogue. The loss of the filter ADSR and the LFO modulated by the ADSR on the XD was the reason.
Thanks for this geat tutorial. You explained everything really well. Now I have found many hidden features in my Minilogue XD that I hadn't discovered before.
Your music sounds really stylish and I would be extremely interested to know how you mix your music so tidy and clean. Could you maybe do a mixing tutorial for electronic music?
Thank you 🙏
Fantastic!!!
Thanks to your video .. I bit the bullet. Just ordered mine :)
It's unfair to post this before watching the whole video, but I the answer is YES. The ability to add user oscillators and fx alone has made this an endless sound design playground
Great video, very thorough!! I'm new to making music (or trying to), bought a midi keyboard controller a while ago now (akai mpk 249) which I think is great and versatile but I am actually really starting to dislike the whole vst scene. I'm spending so much time just trying to figure out how the thing works, and to get it to play nicely with my computer, and then trying to map controls to vst's, I just want to explore sounds and actually create things. I want to buy my first hardware synth and am trying to figure out what I really want/need. I was thinking of a Bass Station 2 but then came across the Minilogue for the same price. Now I see the XD and all it can do (thank you) and I think I've made up my mind! I like that the Minilogue can be poly and mono where the Bass Station 2 is just Mono. It's simple and uncluttered layout makes it very approachable for a noob like me. Tons of custom user slots, multi engine, custom oscillators, Korg quality and sleek styling. The OLED waveform display is the icing on the cake for me ALL SYNTHS SHOULD HAVE THIS!!! That's it, I'm buying one!!!
I am proud to be buying the Minilogue XD as a first synth for my stepson. His 19th B-day party is this Saturday 2-8. It is appropriate though, as he was exposed to synthesizers through experiencing them down in my basement.
Like you, I was happy plodding along with a Korg digital workstations from the early 1990's, and then eventually an Korg Oasys, then VSTs. I finally had saved some money for another keyboard around 9 years ago and was looking at things like the Roland phantom, woo hoo!. My keyboard exposure revolved around Guitar Center type stores, and I'd drool at whatever romplers the were pushing. I was looking for the crunchy synth sounds coming my favorite bands in the early days of new wave like Gary Numan, Vince Clark led Depeche Mode, OMD, etc., and I couldn't understand why my keyboard compositions up to that point didn't seem to have richness and bite coming from their songs, and everything I'd mess with at the store sounded like belonged coming from a "one man band" type entertainer on a cheesy cruise ship. I finally did some basic research, and learned that this type of synth called an "analog" synth was making a comeback, and a lightbulb went off. I opened up my wallet and stuffed my basement with several analog beauties. My life had changed, and yours will too!
The Synthesizer Grouch Thats awesome, what analog synths do you have?
Colin Kohlbeck
Hi Colin,
I cut myself off at two Andromeda A6s, two Yamaha CS-80’s, (two of those each because I prefer having a backup and both are unreliable unfortunately and especially with the CS-80, parts are almost
Impossible to find) one Yamaha CS-60, a Memorymoog LAMM, Modal Modulus 002, Schmidt 8-Voice, and my favorite synth the Knifonium. I also have decided to get the classic Trinity that old school studios typically had, a Hammond B3, Fender Rhodes Suitcase 88, and a Wurlitzer 112. My digitals are a pair of Korg Oasys’s and Korg O1W/FD’s, and a Roli Seaboard Grand, and Akai MPCX the O1W’s being my first “synths” that are actually just romplers, but the way you can stack the sounds is pretty amazing, especially for that era.
I cut it off there to concentrate on a couple mixers, and outboard rack stuff like limiters and compressors etc. and some mics. Also added a 2” 16 track reel to reel, and a 2 track as well.
It never seems to end, although I did stop adding new things for the most part as it became time to concentrate on composing again.
Thankfully, with the virus keeping us all confined a bit, I have plenty to work with. I used to enjoy having folks over to play and record but that will
have to cease for awhile.
Please stay safe!
The Synthesizer Grouch yeah I hear you the virus has been terrible but has definitely made me more productive musically. Those are some beautiful synths you named though, I’m impressed. I’m looking to buy this minilogue xd as my first synth, but at my school I came across a non working memorymoog that they didn’t know what they were doing with. Would be a dream to be able to get that from them reasonably and fix it.
BS2 is not a monophonic anymore!! Some major updates made it to a beast! XD is so good but you better buy both! Bs2 now has aphex mode! 2 lfos! Sub osc! Duophonic! Controlling 3 osc separetly! Diverge mode ....and many more...!
getting one in a couple weeks. going to be my first true analog synth
It is a perfect first fully featured analog synth. Have fun!
nice vid watched it all, and I don't even have an XD but am thinking about it.
Great video. I demo’d the XD in a store, compared it with a Minilogue next to it, was impressed with the ambient sounds and weirdness of the XD but disappointed it didn’t have the fat bass sounds of the old Minilogue. Is it possible to get these same sounds out of the XD?
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Good video man I’ll tell you you done me more good than some of these videos thank you. I think I’ll learn a little bit more but good grief I like to sit down and play I don’t have time for this. LOL
I'd have alot of fun with this one, I have a Novation MiniNova and Peak.
SUPER👍👍👍
I really hope Korg updates the sequencer with a random playback(rnd per note and/or overall random sequence) and reverse mode. Or double the steps... A better manual arp setting (Peak is a good example) as well.
Not sure if he mentions it in this video, but you can arpeggiate chords on the sequencer to extend it to 64 single note steps
