It’s the best first synth because it is so usable and hands on. You get to be very active in its variety. It’s only flaw is that it will inspire you to seek out more synths!
Very true! It kicks off a dangerous hobby
This is the best video ever. I'm a newbie and I learned a lot of stuff. Been loving this channel for a while but I just stumbled across this one. Awesome job
My first, and it may still be my favorite. I love the minilogue ❤️
I've been learning synths for a while, but your beginner stuff is so good and i see that i've missed learning some stuff which you showed me. Thank you very much for both very easy explanations and keeping them just short enough! You're a great teacher! Thanks! :)
Stoked to see you this video. I love the minilogue series. Xd was my first synth. Just bought my girlfriend the original minilogue today for her birthday as her first synth. Great video. Thank you.
🙏🙏Cheers, and great choice, Minilogue forever.
This helped me understand so much more what is happening. Thanks!
This is one of the best introductions to subtractive synthesis I have seen. Really great video. Wish I could have seen this a year ago, would have saved a lot of confusion!! Thanks!
🙏🙏 Appreciate that, I'm quite proud of the way I got it across in this one.
I have a korg monologue and I learned more from your video than any video I watched made specifically for the monologue. Thanks!!
Great to hear!
that KORG sound is still so distinctive. back in the day i gravitated to Roland, Yamaha and Oberheim more but Korg definitely has its place in th e eighties panthéon of synth.
Dude this video is the easiest to understand rundown of the Minilogue I've come across. Thanks for helping out this synth-beginner.
Ah cheers, hope you stick with it
Just picked up one of these locally for a steal cause it had a blemished corner, and this vid is so helpful for getting me familiar with the controls and signal routing options!
Happy to do it, enjoy it!
Jorb! I'm new to synths. This is my first TH-cam comment ever. Thanks so much for this video and the explanations -- this really helps me understand the process of creating patches and which features do what. Thanks again and keep up the amazing work!
🙏High praise, thanks for all of that.
Nice job on the knob pointers :D
Hey thank you. I didnt think it needed it's own video, but wanted to share the tips.
bro you posted this the day after i got the KORG MS-20 mini as my first synth. great synth, might pick this one up eventually.
MS-20 is dope, I would love to try one. Love having patch points
I just bought a new Minilogue this year. I am not a beginner musician or new synth user. The Minilogue is not "just" a beginners synth. I have added the Minilogue to my studio of 7 synths to replace the sound of a menu driven synth I didn't like. 54 years now playing keyboards, this is a good addition. I do not consider the Minilogue a true poly synth because I can't do much with a 4 voice limitation, I think of the synth as an extended mono synth where I can blend long envelope notes together. Normally I don't buy analog poly synths because of massive voice limitations, my go-to poly synth is my Roland Gaia with 64 voices....and I use every one of those. The secondary use of the Minilogue in my studio is to sample to my sampler, I never sample digital synths.
The minilogue is my first analog synth. I had a Yamaha TQ5 fm synth module and a Roland D10 but I didn't have a manual for either one at the time so there was a lot I didn't know about their operation. Now I have the minilogue and microfreak.
Superb! this has taught me so much
Your content is getting better and better everyday jorb
facts
🙏🙏🙏🙏really appreciate that. Always trying to improve!
@@JorbLovesGear Loved your AX73, and the DM12 Solina videos!
What I love about Minilogue is its analogue sound and that this instrument feels like... real instrument. Knobs, buttons and levers all have a purpose and the are no gimmicky features found there. It feels that it might be a toy but only in hand of someone like me but in hands of someone who can play Minilogue becomes powerful tool, amazing instrument. Also love how it looks. BTW. I like the idea with white paint for indicators - especially for YT video.
Enjoyed this vid - thinking of picking up one of these. Subscribed
Very useful video, thanks for sharing
My pleasure
I came back for 3 reasons….
1. I love your content
2. You’re very knowledgeable
3. Watch you record videos using that handheld dynamic mic.
😅😂🙏🙏
That mic really adds to the vibe.
Thanks for uploading, yeah the white markers were the first thing I saw on your vid and that is exactly what I did with mine almost as soon as I got it out of its box. A great synth, especially when you start using the motion sequencing, it somewhat makes up for the lack of modulation routings present on bigger more expensive synths. ... and that 'scope for feedback on what is going on is a real help.
Agreed, the scope really makes a difference
totally agree
I took a friend that was interesting in getting into electronic music production to Patchwerks, in order to give them a rundown of some of the basic concepts of synthesis. They have a fantastic showroom, and I kept coming back to the KORG Minilogue XD to demonstrate most of what I wanted to cover. I had tons of options, but that was the one that made everything the most approachable to a beginner.
Firmware updates on this are crucial. I didn't realize my Minilogue wasn't updated and wondered why the release on notes weren't ringing out as much as it should while triggering new notes. Well they fixed that problem. Lesson learned, check for firmware updates!
Omg that pass through of Nick Batt on the PWMM🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He is treasure.
I LOVED my Minilogue, although I sold it I love it’s sound, it was so easy to learn and program sounds and I would say it has a certain sound of its own
It really does, its got its own character for sure.
Can't wait for you to review the Monologue XD!
Minilogue XD? would love to!
Oh my god man. I was literally just researching for a first synth and I was leaning heavily towards the minilogue. How can you read my mind?!?!?
Did he read your DeepMind? Hint hint
@@Anonymousjoe64 😂😂😂
lmaoo, yeah this is perfect. Keep it lit goob
Minilogue is a great choice! It was my first and it's one of my favorites!
@@parkerrieke9767 I’ve really come around on the look too. Pretty striking design 🥹
That was great! Have had a minilogue for the past year (my first synth) and bits of it were still a bit of a mystery tbh, so that was super useful. My main frustration with it was that a lot of the presets sound pretty horrible, but knowing a bit more about it now I can see them more as jumping off points to build my own sounds. Anyhow, great job and a follow up would be awesome :)
Interestingly, this touches on another video I have;
Decoding Presets // Learning Synthesis by Working Backwards
Use presets to discover features, and use that new knowledge to incorporate into your own patches.
@@JorbLovesGear oh neat, I'll check that out!
Great video, thank you. Been looking for something that’s basically one knob per function with all of these specs for a while. Halfway through your video I bought one on eBay. I am broke now, but that’s almost entirely not your fault. Almost.
Man, that thing has that Korg filter sound! Classic sound that will never go out of style IMO. Sure it’s simple, but for 350$ish you’re spot on that it’s an amazing value for a poly capable of classic, bread and butter sounds.
(Hey Jorb, I’ve vacated the workforce for the time being and was wondering if I could bounce some things off you. You know, video stuff.)
It is a pretty great sound. You can send me an email, its on the channel page. Cheers!
Totally agree! I have a bunch of synths, and it feels ridiculous to say the minilogue is underrated now, but it really feels that way to me
I just want to keep the conversation on it, more than anything. Even with more popping up used now, better to talk about it now
@@JorbLovesGear 100%! Really loved this video. I’m the “synth guy” to a lot of my friends. Going to send this to them when they ask where/how to start. Can add it to the list of ways people discover your channel :)
This one and basstation, all you ever need.
The low cost power couple
I love the way they just threw a cheap Bucket Brigade Delay in there, that loops and hisses, and loops the hisses. Not sarcasm, I love it. I got an XD shortly after with the idea to sell the Minilouge, and for some reason the original Minilouge sounded better to mine ear. So sold the XD. It just didn't sound as warm as the original, and it upset me that Korg didn't put an Audio in on the XD! To utilise the excellent effects with external sound.
So a better option, to those who have a Minilogue and are thinking about upgrading to the XD, just get a Korg NTS-1 instead, feed the output of your Minilogue to the NTS-1 for the effects, and midi it up and its exactly the same but with a bonus.
The bonus being that you CAN input sound from any synth / guitar or mic to the NTS-1 and use the effects.
Nice trick with projecting the minilogue's screen on the tablet.
Thats a second camera zoomed in just on the screen, the cut in during post.
Big dubs for local synth man
Us, hitting verdansk tonight 😈
The Minilouge XD was my first "serious synth" after starting out with some volcas. It is a great first synth and is still in my setup. Not too complicated but can get tons of sounds out it especially with the multiple motion control paths. I still think it is probably the best analog synth for the price.
I agree man, great for the price, good regardless
Nice video man. You should try the Monologue. Its brilliant sequencer make it almost like an analog groovebox. Also a perfect 1st synth.
I'm on the lookout for a good deal! Would like to try one, certainly.
I was looking at getting a minilogue for my first "real" synth last year, but I found a used minilogue XD module for just $50 more, so I went with that, and now I use an old beat up DX7 as the MIDI controller.
the arturia microfreak is great value for money and is a great first synth and can do more interesting patching its sub 300.00 quid and offers so many different synth engines , a powerful arp, a sequencer, a cycling envelope , it is purely digital though so that might be an issue for some, it does sound fantastic with a touch of reverb , and the touch sensitive keyboard is an incredible way to modulate whatever you want by adding more skin to the keybed.
Microfreak does bang, but I sort of hate the keyboard. Though, i do respect that it comes as part of the whole package, and is part of why its cheaper.
I wouldn’t rule out the Hydra Explorer as a great first synth either .
More complex...sure , but easy enough to get to grips with and offers several forms of synthesis to learn .
I think of pole or decibel slopes on a synthesizer as electronic sounds and acoustic sounds. Without a 4 pole filter it is very, very difficult to make acoustic natural sounds.
One thing I wish I would have known about this synth is that it sounds amazing threw a good reverb. So if some one is getting this for there first synth, get your self a good reverb pedal to go with it too. I ended up getting the Strymon Big Sky, but something like the Zoom 70CDR or the Korg NTS-1 would do the trick. Anything really. I say those two because they are multi FXs, if you stack a chorus and reverb it makes any synth sound awesome. Unless your going for that’s raw sound, which I do like on some songs. Watching this video makes me want to play it. I think I’ll do that.
A future video in the pipe, the synthesist's guide to guitar pedals.
It's quite unusual to hear a synth sound recorded without any effects, really helps a sound become full. Totally agree!
@@JorbLovesGear right on, I look forward to the video.
Yes, effects is the other half of sound design on any recorded synth.
Yes I know, old video...
My first synth was a Mininova. Which I still love. Lots of menu diving though...
I've noticed I'm more into grooveboxes and drum machines than actual synths. I do like the Minilogue though...
El Minilogue fue mi primer sintetizador, y fue el que me hizo engancharme con el mundo de los sonidos sintetizados. Al inicio dediqué tiempo para ordenar la lista de efectos y descargar de Korg todos los efectos que ofrecían. Así, tocarlo se hacía más fácil y rápido encontraba presets que me gustaban.
Con el Minilogue he hecho la mayoría de la música de mi banda: Maldito DeLorean. Espero que la escuchen.
Lo único que no me gusta del MInilogue es la palanca de bend, porque como a mucha gente, se me dañó y la puedo usar poco. Creo que la construcción no es la mejor.
Saludos, gracias por mirar!
Minilogue es un clásico, es bueno escuchar que otros también lo aprecian y usan en su música.
Wow I never heard the formant before, still more to learn!
When the XD came out I initially felt a little cheated, like it was conceded by Korg that the minilogue wasn't fully fleshed out before release. The click on the attack at 0 got "fixed", etc. Well, I LOVE that there's a click on the attack. It's the first synth I've played with a click.
You're right, this is the perfect first synth.
I really wish for a firmware upgrade that expands the sequencer to at least 32 steps and also implements the probability function that Volca Drum has to incorporate some variability. This would activate a minilogue a lot more
Yes, the formant stuff! Triangle wave on osc 1, sink and ring mod. Really complicated.
Yeah Minilogue XD is still good, but I'm a bit disappointed in the changes other than the digial oscillator and the extra effects.
Honestly the click is in quite alot of synths. Top of my head, virus ti2 has it.
Turn it to advantage: it helps in creating percussive sounds
Haha @19:51 This ! That zoom is an accidental meme on the tron-volca era of Korg synths 🤣
Obviously Uli’s peeps seen that and thought hmmm that’s got soul 🤣
The best for beginning is keyboard with inbuilt soundboxes. 223 dollars was my Casio CTX-800 and more like enought for me as beginner.
As much as I love the Minilogue, there's just no way I could ever, ever, EVER recommend anyone go for that over the XD, given how close they are in price. You're getting, in many ways, almost twice the synth, for about $140 more. I realize it's cool to love the original Minilogue, and I do enjoy the silver color scheme, but... the XD is just so, SO much more synth, and would future-proof a beginner (AND give him/her more power and flexibility) for such a small additional cost. For me, the only way to justify the original Minilogue is if you're a collector and just want it for the sake of having it. It's like... "Hey, would you like to add a carwash and a dinner for two at the restaurant of your choice with your movie ticket for an extra 5 bucks?" Uh... yeah. I better do that.
Ehhh I don't really see it as twice the synth, I see it as a lot less inviting to beginners.
The envelope changes are worse the filter changes are one less thing to learn, and the multi engine could be confusing to a new user. Otherwise there's not enough difference.
But I do agree, if you're at all interested in the multi engine / user fx thats a crazy amount of flexibility for the premium
I wound up with a Mopho as my first synth and while there were cool presets, it was super unwieldy to try and make custom sounds or even figure out the sequencer. With the Minilogue I was up and running super quick. Sold the Mopho but I'm going to be using the Minilogue for awhile.
Mopho, I can totally see as a massive pain in the ass to learn on.
So much clicking through menus, etc.
After vacillating for a couple months between this, the XD, and Minifreak, I have a used Minilogue on the way. This video was very convincing, so it’s on you…😉 Seriously, this is a great video, and between this, my Rob Papen book/vids, and all of @Bobeats great Minilogue vids, I plan to immerse myself and really get to know this guy. The couple hundred I saved can go toward a high end unit when I have a much better idea of what’s out there and what I like, although I’m sorely tempted by the Take 5….
I've been considering the Minifreak for a while. What specifically sold you on this unit (especially as to how the two compare)?
@@Pignatius27 Hi Pignatius. I’m an absolute beginner, and I like that there’s almost no menu diving, and also that there are lots of videos that are truly for beginners. For instance, Korg has eight introductory videos that go through all the functions. As I watched videos about the Minifreak I got the feeling that it does amazing things for an introductory price, but not necessarily a great unit to learn on.
I should add that I’m in my 60’s and more interested in making sounds from the 70’s and 80’s, and I already have a guitar effects pedal should I decide I really need effects.
So far I love the Minilogue, and haven’t hooked up the effects. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll love whatever one you decide on!
I got the Minilogue XD as my first analogue synth and it is bloody great, the user oscillators are an extra bonus and give it an extra layer of goodness. While it's missing sustain and release on the envelope, I think for beginners it's good enough and there are plenty of ways to use it, plus sounds great. Always enjoying the Jorb, also are you related to Seth Rogen?
XD is no slouch, but leaves a bit to be desired.
I'm not lmao, wish I had his laugh
@@JorbLovesGear You 100% have his speaking voice though!!
I'm saving up to buy a Moog One, until then, I'm getting this and/or a microfreak.
So I have a DeepMind 12, but I LOVE a lot of these sounds you're getting here with the Korg and I've never gotten anywhere near them with the DM. Is there a lot the Korg can do that the DM can't or is it just me needing to spend more time with it?
The deepmind can do a hell of a lot, the built in effects really sell that synth for me. My deepmind videos might be a big help! That's really what got my channel cooking.
:D Good times :)
Its true, they were
My first synth was a bass station 2 and I haven’t sold it which is crazy considering I’ve gone through pretty much every big name synth you could name from the last few years. Nothing really compares to the BS2 or the digitone in my opinion.
BS2 is really really good, absolutely
The only reason I soldy bass station 2 is because I got a summit, which has the same amazing character and low end. I loved my bs2 so much.
Nice video, I sold a XD and got a Prologue 8 💙 instead 😊
Prolgoue is dope, I miss my 8. Wish it had a good mod matrix though!
I had an xd and I returned it and ended up
With an mpc one… Trying to think about what fits nice in my setup and those new roland boutiques look nice. I do really like minilogues though. It would have to be desktop for me cause I got too many controllers. Cool stuff man. Got me thinking again.
Pretty different usecases, but the MPC one is a real banger. I may chop the minilogue into a module, lol
@@JorbLovesGear ooh 😮
@@JorbLovesGear Yeah when you get into the whole groovebox synth gas it’s whatever does more for you I guess. Luckily I kinda figured out what I like cause we have an awesome local synth store. The dudes at Detroit Modular let you try whats there and they have so much.
I had to raise the audio level on my system.
I have found the Korg Minilogue 2 very difficult to use. Compared to the Korg Kross, the sounds seem very low quality. And there are very limited patches available on the web. The best thing about it was that I could link the midi arp's to the Korg Kross & trigger it's high quality keyboard playback simultaneously.
Tks. Good vid. Do you prefer the XD?
To be more perfect it could probably also do well with sine wave in the oscillators and some additive synthesis. I wonder if #Korg is listening. ;) #Minilogue - All #synths could use a mini #oscilloscope though. ;)
hey Jorb, how do you get the panel adjustment text coming up on your scope? presumably using a midi signal but what does the code to text conversion and puts it on the scope?
theres just a setting in the global menu for the minilogue to turn on parameters, thats just the minilogue screen blown up
It's either this or the microfreak for sure, if your a total beginner the original mini is more straightforward your rite, a lot more people do have some knowledge of synthesis these days, I think the freak is the better bang for the buck if you have some knowledge especially if you have a midi keyboard.
Its kind of apples and oranges, but oh yeah, microfreak is great too.
Hey Jorb - Nice one! I'm not a beginner but I oscillate between this and an XD just for VFM 😁 Any thoughts?
Not sure if I missed it but what is your oscilloscope?
Cheers! I normally have a B&K precision 1530 on screen, but the minilogue screen was more appropriate here.
@Synth&CoffeeGuy 😁 Thank you 😁 I was actually wondering what model it is
@@JorbLovesGear Thank you. Would be nice to get a cheap scope for looking at the waveforms 👍
@@IanWaugh just look on ebay, sort by auction only ending soonest.
@@JorbLovesGear I know absolutely nothing about scopes 😢 so no idea what to look for but there is one of these on at £160...
Hi I really love your videos I watch all of them, can you tell I was going to buy a mopho module, but I like the woldorf Pulse 2, as well but I can't afford the 2 of them what do you think I know they are tow different synthesisers can you give me your opinion 🎼👍
No hands on experience with the pulse, but the biggest difference that comes to mind is the way they control, think about which works for you, if they both do, think about features, if they both do, get the cheaper one.
I just got a moog sub 25 but don't even know how to read/play notes yet. Can you make lessons on how to do so on a 25 key mono synth for basslnes/melodies? thank you
I'm looking into getting started with synths, but the prices on this one have increased quite a lot since you made this video. Is there a different one that offers similar features for a lower price?
It's tough, lots of great options out there. Really new, the Roland S-1 is a great price point, but I still think something used is a better way to get started.
Deepmind 6 maybe, bass station 2, microfreak, all could hit
I've been using my Logue for 4 years now - I'd love a portamento knob - but I'm not sure what I'd sacrifice... Anyone feel the same about portamento? I know you can access it via the menu but still.🎹
The backround says, here's lives a creative guy.....lol
Is the Minilogue XD like the microKORG XL, in that it appears to be an improvement on the prior version, but I’ll seem to see a lot more of the first version (Minilogue) in the world than I’ll ever see of the second (XD)?
Microkorg XL was really a completely different synth with a different engine, also ugly (why does a synth look like and electric piano?)
The xd version is a major upgrade. Added a third, digital, oscillator. Effects by Sinevibes. Better sequencer. Joystick, instead of the weird pitch bend on the OG. Two displays. Etc.
Minilogue XD had a few more missteps, but yeah, the OG hits better for both.
I kinda like the XL look, but the OG is way cooler.
I personally only ever use decay on my filters.
how did you get the little white lines on your knobs? That actually helps visualize the patch much better!
There's a chapter for that
I’ve been playing around with a couple pretty cheap synths so I feel like I know the basics of synthesis. I feel that the deepmind 12 would suit me better but I’m not completely sure. Should I spend the extra for the deepmind??
VS a minilogue? They're a bit more than they used to be, but if you just hound for a good used deal the difference is pretty close. Especially if you sell some stuff it may outclass.
If you want a higher ceiling, its a good choice.
Less action from the oscillators, lots of action in the mod matrix.
So you deal with more tweaking, more programming, more weird quirks, but gain voices, mod matrix, and a ton of really good effects.
@@JorbLovesGear yeah I’m thinking the deepmind will leave a lot more growing room than the monologue. More voices and such. I’ve been loving all of your videos on the deepmind recently tho! It really makes me excited to dive into a versatile synth like that!
Any suggestions to find and install good (vintage sounding) presets on the minilogue?
Haven't bought any myself. Maybe I should do a bank 🤔
@@JorbLovesGear Yes pls :)
@10:02 😂. Poor Nick.
The patron saint of PWM, no disrespect ever. lol
@@JorbLovesGear Ah, I think he was aware of his meme status long ago to be fair. The way he just scrolled across the screen in time with the PWM was brilliant though 👏👏
Probably a stupid question but how limited is automation on hardware synths? I love the sounds and aesthetic of these hardware synths but it feels like VST's are way more flexible in automating parameters. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm a scrub lol
Not stupid at all.
I cut the sequencer section of this video, it made it 40minutes longer. But, the minilogue has 4 parameter automation lanes, that can be mapped whereever.
Additionally, any synth that accepts midi cc and updates it live can be automated with midi from a daw, or a hardware sequencer.
Or, since you're going to end up with audio anyway, turn the knobs yourself, and treat that like a flattened VST track.
Lots of options!
The ‘turn the knobs yourself’ route for me is the way I’m planning to go with this once I get my Minilogue delivered. I’m looking forward to it too. Adjusting with the mouse now seems really tedious and uninspiring
I’m curious as to what brand of oscilloscope you’re using?
B&k precision 1530!
I'm torn between the minilogue, Moog Sub37, and the Moog Grandmother as first hardware synth.
Those are all pretty different.
Budget first, then would you prefer a polyphonic synth, minilogue. If you would prefer / have more use for a mono, decide if presets are worth the premium on the moogs.
No modwheel sucks - but I love your knob hack!
I agree, although being able to point the bender helps a bit!
@@JorbLovesGear What do you think of the 3-osc version? Can you get Mini sounds with that?
Hello Jorb,
Curious about the oscilloscope how it is hooked up to the Korg.
That's just the built in screen cropped way bigger for the video!
@@JorbLovesGear Makes me feel dumb asking the question now that you've explained it. I am a total noob to synth and your channel is very helpful. Thank you!
@@jonathanmvkhai not at all, I'm glad you asked.
I use an analog scope all the time too, I have a video all about it
Also what’s the little waveform screen?
NVM 😂 just realised it’s a camera feed
you got it goob lol
Update, Minilogue ordered
👏👏👏
The sound is better when you don't hold the mic with the grill ;)
That can't be right
Mine needs a clean ,
Mini keys?
They're smaller than standard, mmhm.
minilogue > reface CS?
I am not seeing them for $350. At their lowest, currently, on eBay, they are around $400 and, in some cases, $600. So, keep in mind that the price has risen.
Market going crazy
If you're gonna chop it, try to keep as much of it as you can undamaged please. I think the Minilogue will be around long enough that people will want to repair them in the future, and maybe some keys will be just the thing.
BTW I really recommend Zoom's MS70-CDR pedal in combination with a Minilogue. If you search Adam Borseti on TH-cam you'll see what a Minilogue can do. It's a wonderful synthesizer. Really is the perfect beginner synth.
Great point, the keyboard is worth keeping intact.
Those mega multi effects pedals don't work for me, but I totally see the appeal.
@@JorbLovesGear yeah, when you already have other gear or you work with a DAW the MS70CDR loses its appeal, but if you're just starting out it's a great combo.
But the fact you can store presets of whole FX chains on it is super awesome vs a pedalboard. Name your FX patch like your Minilogue patch and you can consider it a whole system, making the FX part of your sound design (like on the DM12!)
I should also mention you can load all the different FX from that series of Zoom pedals on the MS70CDR with a utility from the internet, really making it a *mega* multi FX pedal 😎
Thanks for the ❤️! Love your work!
I bought a Roland HS-60 (aka ugly duckling Juno 106) for the price of a microKORG in 2003; had there been a Minilogue available, I would’ve gone with that, in retrospect. (Sold the HS-60 for parts not long before I met Bell Tone Synth Works, who could’ve fixed it, but I used the money to contribute to paying for a DeepMind 12, so it’s all good.) You say $300-$350, and suddenly I’m wondering if I want a Minilogue… first time I’ve wondered that in awhile, after not getting an XD several times (no audio input on the latter?? And, other downsides? 😩)
I have 2 NTS-1, though. Easy to break ‘em, yay. 🤪
Part of my wants the HS60 OVER my juno. lol
Yeah minilogue is a mega deal, I forgot about no audio input
my hs-60 is bangin these days sir, sorry for your loss :( oh my god the power from the speakers when chorus is on!! I'm going to have to plug it or the SCI MAX into the audio in of minilogue and see what happens
@@JorbLovesGear One of the problems with my old HS-60 was that the speaker cones were disintegrating/ed. So, was it that I wasn’t the biggest fan of Juno chorus, or was it that a shredded speaker might be more appropriate for early-‘60s-era guitar distortion than for presenting a truly faithful representation of ‘80s Juno BBD chorus? 🤔 😅 Anyway, I really didn’t find its look to be the least bit inspiring or appealing. I was in touch with Synth Spa about getting it a new paint job, etc.
oh i hate placement of the knob for chosing presetts.
I think it misses a dedicated portamento knob..😊
I'll stick to my Wavestate
OMG...this MPC from a 14 Years old Bong smoker looks sooo depressing. I´m getting Goosebumps from that Spectacle. hihihi :)
PS: for Dub Techno Chords the noisy Delay must do a good Job.
Yeah that MPC had a rough go. I miss it, honestly. lol
it defintely does, the delay is really characterful, really dig it.
Yeah, it's not cheap enough to be beginner friendly. What about the Volca line?
