Thank you! Received my Monilogue XD a week ago, and your tutorial is allowing me to make sense of it!
Love it! Great vid Bo! Thanks for posting your stuff to the synth groups on FB as well! Always love seeing a new post from you!
Mega tutorials for the win!! ❤️
Cuckoo, the trend setter ♥️☕️
Great tutorial Bo...I recently got a an Xd and this is a huge help! Thanks for doing what you do!
OMOLYMPICG dude! So many features to learn... Feel like my head will explode soon =)
As many of us love the elektron p locks, the korg rec motion sequence is also really sweet, allowing smooth automation rather than steppy.
Fantasticaly wonderful video! Just bought my first Minilogue XD 2 days ago and have been programming it heavily. This will come in VERY handy in the next few days. Liked and subscribed!
thanks buddy! I also have a tutorial on pad sounds which focuses on pitch modulation.
Thanks! Will definitely check that out! I’m finding that this bad boy has some SERIOUS punch. I made a birdland patch, and I think it’s punchier than my OB-8, which says a lot! Thanks again!
Hey this was a great tutorial for getting started with my minilogue and creating sequences on synths for the first time. I would love more tutorial videos like this! :)
Don’t really understan why nobody freaks out with the exra large screen minilogue. Maybe I’m too high.
Thank you! You have helped me overcome the final obstacles with this great synth!
Coming back to this to dive deeper into the XD sequencer, learning a lot! I humbly suggest that you should post a short update to this video after the firmware 2.0 changes. Active Step mode and Key Trigger are big updates! I love the new Arp parameters as well.
Sounds like your digging the new minilogue xd great sounds all around great show friend!!! Stay creative 😉
You're really good at making patches, your videos are very helpful too, Thank You Bo!
Thanks Chris
I was thinking laterly, it seems that it's also an analogue wavetable synth, it can mimic that kind of sound changes, thanks to the motion seq. Great tutorial!
Waiting for the module to do all that and more. Thanks for the great tut Bo 🥳
what more can it do than the keys xd?
@@brendonsmith8025 I meant, to do more than what Bo showed on this video, the module does exactly the same as the keys version.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
6:08 for those of you who are here for a tutorial other than how to press the playback button.
Yesss, just what I needed:)
I was like I want one with a big screen too haha
Nice one, thanks for a great tutorial. Very helpful.
Ahhaa! All I had to do was turn on motion mode and hold the trig button for step-editing motion stuff. Thanks!
Thank you bobeat! Very useful video
Last night I left a comment for an advice regarding a choice b-tween Keep my M. XD or get the Moog GM , then I fell asleep... now I resumed this video and got to the juice part, how to create the sequence and what are the steps for it... mind blowing... I will trying to work with the sequencer and see how I can also integrate it with my DAW ( re-trigger). Thanks for sharing your gr8 knowledge. Saved me hours on the miserable Korg menu, and scratching my scalp to death lol 😂.
Yet, I’m still having my eyes 👀 on this Moog GMother... Argh!
This is a grea tutorial. Mine was supposed to have arrived today.
Estimated delivery date grrr.
Thank You!
Great video Bo, I just got a XD can you please tell me how you save A Sequence once you created it?
dude you completely mindfucked me with that thumbnail I thought there actually was some minilogue xd with a bigger screen lol, made me click and stumble upon a fine youtuber good work keep it up
Thanks!! Never thought about that (its just a screen cap from the vid). Funny! And glad to have you
Hey, BoBeats, how did you mod yours to have that extra large screen? 🤣🤣
Thanks for the cool tutorial. I just ordered mine yesterday!
I thought it was a mod too. Was looking everywhere for it. Realized he just has that part of the camera zoomed in.
Thanks for tutorial man, you and cuckoo are "quality".
Hi Bob, could you please break up my dilemma? I bought a minilogue XD but am still thinking at the Moog GMother. Thing is I believe for my in box rig the Kong minilogue XD it does blend better as far as concern use with a DAW? Or? Any suggestion? Many thanks. A.
Is it possible to use the motion mode to make individual notes in a sequence longer than others? How do you do that?
Youngest looking hands in the game :D
Truth!
That’s right HOOOOV
Sign of never doing any real work
Upside of the 'studio tan' 😎
Great!! You can use this step sequencer with VST Instruments? Or only inside in this gear?
Thank you man really good i really learn with your vidéo🙏
Hey, i was wondering if you might know why after i inputtedthe notes in the sequencer for a kick drum it plays back at a higher pitch?
Very cool!!!
hey, do I need TRS to TRS / ts to ts / ts (minilogue xd) to TRS(audio interface) to record the synth?
Hey Bo!
I already got an microKorg XL, but i never liked the menu digging... however, can u store multiple sequenzes and switch between them in the same sound setting? For example having 16 recurring steps for the verse, and then switch to a different pattern for a chorus or bridge part? thank you for your videos, they help me so much building my own first homestudio!
Sort of. What you would do is create your sound and save it to multiple adjacent slots. Then in each slot you could create a different pattern/sequence. But there's a lag anytime you change presets/patches/patterns, so it wouldn't be great for playing live. For recording parts into a DAW, it is no problem.
Great found it.
Excellent Bo, and a quick unrelated question... are those Sennheiser HD598’s you’re using?
thank you buddy. yes, they are some of my absolute favs
I was looking for something decent for plugging into my mixer for my minilogue xd and TR-8S but also would be good for hifi listening too, I was thinking of these or the HD 599’s. I shall check them both out, thank you.
Great vid Bo. You set the sequencer resolution but didnt go into it any further? I would like it if you could do a very quick vid on setting the sequencer step length/resolution control. Ie, 1/16 or 1/4 etc?. It can be confusing. Pretty much anything on setting up the XD sequencer so it syncs up to or from other instruments without headaches?
Can you use the sequencer to sequence extrenal gear ?
Excellent tutorial and I wish I was as cool as u I need that shirt.
If you have a sequence playing can you still play chords over it? I mean playing live not overdubbing over whats already there
Great !! What's the best way to record this beauty ? (got ableton live)
A USB audio interface, such as the Focusrite Scarlett series connected to a DAW, or a stand-alone audio recorder (often called 'field recorders'), such as a Zoom.
How do you save these sequences once you have spent so much time creating them?
Thank you! Loving my XD so far. It looks like you sold your xd for the xd modular?
no i actually have both
@@BoBeats #polychain
@@2587Lucky Now he has an 8 voice synth
Hmm best way to make a kick and optimize resources is to use the filter in full resonance as a sine oscillator and make the cutoff modulation with the eg or the one shot lfo. Then you have still 3 oscillator to make other sounds
not entirely sure how you would do this since you can not bypass the filter entirely for the 3 oscillators. Unless I am missing a setting only the multiengine can bypass the filter. But if you have a cool idea by all means let me know. All tips n tricks welcome.
@@BoBeats yes that's true you need to keep the filter open on the steps where you don't have a kick. But doing a kick with the filter generally give very good results anyway. The volca kick is using the ms20 filter for generating the kick for example
@@BoBeats th-cam.com/video/ZUljw13dOms/w-d-xo.html
Ionian echoes this wont work very well on the minilogue cuzz if you use res to create the kick this will making layering sounds problematic.
BTW, any suggestions for an analog drum machine to clock it with the M. XD? I had the Arturia impact but I got bored right away as sounds wise felt stiff and not flexible at all. Thx 😊
Not analogue, but I'm using the PO-32 Tonic. Easy to sync with KORG instruments, and inexpensive. All of the Volca drum machines would also be a good choice.
Hello Bo! Could we play something over the sequencer plays in same time? Thank you
The thing is, I never thought about it before. I want to buy a Sequential pro3 synthesizer, but you can't do that there. That is, either the sequencer is playing, or you are playing a part. 🙏❤️
Hola ! como estas?
Queria preguntarte si sabes por que cuando activo una secuencia y cambio el programa/preset no vuelve a iniciar de cero? ya que si en un programa/preset tengo una configuracion de cinco pasos y en otro una configuracion de 16 pasos cuando cambio entre esos presets se pkerde la relacion del tiempo, gracias y un saludo
Hi BoBeats!
Recently, my father and I get a korg minilogue, and we are learning about it.
I wanna know how to conect the synth to the computer, and ask you if i need an audio interface or just with USB out.
You can connect with just USB and the Minilogue XD will act as a MIDI controller (so you could use it to play soft synths, for example). USB passes MIDI data only, no audio. If you want to record the sounds that the Minilogue makes, you'll need an audio interface.
Bo or some other enlightened soul please help. How can you make tones with oscillator one after you’ve cut the high frequencies in the filter section to make the kick with oscillator two?!? I’ve tried everything except whatever I’m actually supposed to do! 😂😤😂 thanks!
Is it possible to use the keyboard while the sequence is being played? Like can you create a sequence with some 3 note chords and then play over that without recording it to the sequence?
Yes, but only in Poly mode. You have 4 total voices to work with. If you play 3 note chords, you would have 1 voice left to play live notes on top of it (without recording them into the sequence).
I have a question, is it possible to sequence chord progressions using chord mode? For example if I have the voice depth mode set to Maj 7 for the first chord would it be possible to then add in a minor chord to that same sequence while keeping the first chord a maj 7?
yes
Can the sequence be tranposed and hold?
why is the sound that I built (Kick) different when I record it to the sequence? It is completely different when recorded (did exactly the same thing as the video (8:06). Thanks
Hi, I'm working my way through this step by step to get a better idea of how to craft drum sounds on the XD but when I get to 9:38 I cannot for the life of me figure out how you jumped to this high pitch sound to start crafting a snare. I change from editing to Multi Routing Post VCF and then I change the Oscillator type, as you do, but I still have my low end kick sound coming out and I can't figure out how to change the settings to match yours, and get the high end noise/snare sound. Is there a step missing?! Thanks!
Is it possible to have more than 16 steps for the sequencer, as in are they stackable in some way? I don't understand the reason for this apparent limitation. Thanks for any info, and the great demo
16 steps is the max, but you can have more than one note per step. For example, try this: Switch to ARP mode. Say you want a song at 120 BPM. You can set the tempo at half rate (60 BPM), then set the Step Resolution to 1/8, and the Arp Rate at 24th (both of these are under the Sequence Edit menu). This plays 3 arpeggiated notes per step, and 3 x 16 = 48. So effectively that's a 48 note sequence, but it could be synced to another synth/drum machine that is playing at 120 BPM.
How can I change my parameters while playing the keyboard without changing the parameters of the sequencer?
Not finding much info by google, but does the Minilogue XD sequencer NOT send step data via midi?
I noticed that when you're tuning an VCO Ithe VCO 1 & 2 volume are all down except for the digital VCO how is that possible getting a sound output? I tried to follow your steps but I found out that I must turn the VCO 1 on in the mixer or else I won't hear a thang???
You can play the Digital Multi Engine (what you referred to as the digital VCO) by itself without using VCO 1 & 2 at all. Note that on an init patch, the Multi Engine is turned all the way down in the mixer, you have to turn it up.
Great tutorial! The functions on the XD itself to see how an existent patch is setup, are pretty limited. Videos like these help revealing those mysteries!
For a minute there I thought there was a version with a larger display :)
Hi, what cables are you using for record this synth? thanks in advance!!
Hi
He is using two 1/4” TS cables
Hey guys, can't really find the answer anywhere so I'll try here. I have a moog sub phatty, can I plug that into my minilogue xd and use the xd sequencer with the moog sounds?
Yes, if I'm not mistaken you can with a midi cable
Do you know if you can save multiple sequences to one preset?
No
For a minute I was like "why does your minilogue have a bigger screen?"
:P
great video and tutorial, thank you!! but, unfortunately, another XD with the annoying high pitched digital noise. you can clearly listen to it at 13:55. with the drive engaged it gets worse..
i did not get the multi routing (pre/post) could u please explain it brief? :O ALSO, i have been wondering is there away to apply say a reverb or a delay only on one osclater not all of them while jamming? thanks
To make the kick sound with oscillator two he turns the cutoff for the filter way down, which cuts all the high frequencies off. Now you want to make a sound with high frequencies (snare) but you can’t pass it through the filter section because those frequencies are cut. By setting the multi to post VFO you bypass the filter section, allowing you to use the multi engine as a snare. I hope that explains it for you. Don’t ask me how he then gets oscillator one to make tones without messing up oscillator two though because that’s where he lost me!
@@roberte7606 yo thx fam helpfull!
@@roberte7606 as to the thing where he lost u. Maybe try recording the osc and motionnrec the parts u want to hear of the sequence? While keepin for example osc 2 thru out the sequence playin.. and take away cross mode depth to play them as singular sounds🤔
brightgem went through again and got it this time thx!
Great tutorial. Next time slow down or pause slightly when you are going from each knob so we can see each step and understand the progression.
Thanks bud for the feedback!!
it there pattern chain option or song mod?
Nope
Is there a work aroud the limit of 16 step sequencer ?
You can run the sequencer slower. Meaning that if you do a pad sequence you can effectively get a longer sequence out of it. But that means lower resolution.
Why the hec did korg have to make the xd to confuse me more! Then the prologue dosnt have the flippn seq! May I ask does the orginal monologue have the type of multi timberal functionality of the xd? One other thing no is there a korg seq that could act like the monologues to seq a prologue? Sorry about the questions mate I know its a pain...
Hey Bo, thanks, this was super helpful managed to make some nice tracks rapid after this.. question though.any way of seamlessly linking sequences of more than 16 steps? Would be so helpful for live sets but only way I can do is to switch patches which causes a glitch, even if patch settings are identical.. I hope they mod it so you can switch to another sequence pattern within same patch for seamless jamming.. unless you already can and I've not sussed it
No real way of linking sequences :-(
@@BoBeats arghh, so frustrating, must be possible with the hardware, fingers crossed for a firmware solution.. seems a massive oversight.. would be a synch with external sequencer but that kind of defeats point of onboard sequencer!
That acid seq is huge!!! You are great! Fun to watch!! Keep it up :)
At 11.57 I can hear a quaky ladie's voice saying OK; it's only just audible..... or is it coming from the Minilogue??
Haha, could be my wife in the background perhaps?!
@@BoBeatsIt could've been mate, it was female ;-)
6:10 Tutorial Begins
Top
Now if only you could actually buy a minilogue xd in the shops....
YA WAT UP WITH THAT. I GUESS THEY THINK SYNTH GUFFS WILL BREAK IN OR STRONG ARM THEM...
Guitar center has it listed as in stock and ready to ship.
Western Europe seems to be out of stock, perhaps in a few weeks... I love my original ML, so I’d just like to check out the XD before I make the decision to get it or not, and if it could replace the original one.
Tom Coppens ah, yeah, I’m on the US website. I think aside from maybe some difference’s in the analog oscillator and the filter that some might find they like the original’s for some reason over the XD’s the rest of the synth is an improvement I’d say w/out a doubt. More capabilities, memory, digital 3rd oscillator, better and multiple effects at once now.
But I wouldn’t say that this makes the original obsolete b/c it is a good instrument and you can’t really knock that.
grab a t shirt to be cool as a therapist ! ^^ very nice tutorila with nice sounds, really enjoyed thie ambient patch - even if i dont own a minilogue xd-
ID LIKE TO SEE SOME OF THESE RAPPERS OR SO CALLED PRODUCERS OF RAPPERS DO THIS. JUST LAST WEEK I WAS SKIMMING THE MUSIC CHANNELS AND EVERY SONG USED THE SAME BEAT *"CANNED"*WITH VERY LITTLE VARIATIONS. IT SOUNDED SO CHEAP. ITS SO INGENOUS. I HATE RAP ANYWAY. BUT ITS ANOTHER STICKING POINT. ONE GROUP I SAW BEHIND THE MUSIC WAS "MINT CONDITION"NOT MY STYLE BUT AT LEAST THEY ACTUALLY PERFORM ON INSTRUMENTS. THANKS FOR THE GREAT INFO. AND YEA THE MINILOGUE CAN DO MOST ANYTHING. EVEN MAKE SWISS CHEESE....
killer tutorial! Many thanks.
