Getting mine delivered tommorow. I had a bad first step with hardware synth when I bought behringer neutron. It really wasnt for me, sounded way too retro, noisy, no midi automation for parameters, only 2 voices. Also the fact that it constantly goes out of tune didnt help. After watching what minilogue xd can do, i dont understand why i was so stupid to buy behringer in the first place. This just blows it out of the water
@@EddieKMusic hey, did you get yours already? beringer is cheapest sh*t out there. arrogant and copying. even sueing companies that they stole from. know, that the xd has a permanent auto-retune of its oscs. have fun, I get mine tomorrow! greetings from berlin
Epic upgrade from the original, plus I love the LED light show! (Blue Please! I'm an easy sell) Delay doesn't sound NOISY! Great work, Korg! A+++++++++++
@@fjfrancois with the old Minilogue you just need to turn the Delay up, it starts to "Hiss" making the Delay useless, unless you want the dirty Delay sound :)
@@AlfasMusic You want to tell me, a stereo effect is the same as real stereo? Superposition between 2 oscillators on a mono-output with a stereo-effect sounds the same as on a stereo-output? And if you use the integrated stereo-effects, you will hear the same sound like a stereo-effect in the mono-output of the older Minilogue? To your question: Yes, i heard stereo effects!
Woooah, all of these sounds are fantastic. I have to think about selling my minilogue that i've been using for a few years and buy this beast. The difference is huge.
wow those are some amazing sounds from a Minilogue what a difference from the last one Korg put out. I mean that one sounded good but this one sounds great and I may actually want to buy one now.
If they made this with the ability to layer sequences and save them as songs into a bank within the synth (Like roland jd xi) I'd buy this immediately.
now i'm glad that shops around me were always out of stock on the original minilogue (and many just focused on promoting the monologue instead) so i never ended up buying it. it sure was a lot of fun, but i'd be pissed if i had one and then saw this video. thanks korg!
Thanks, best demo so far for this synth. Also shows how nice it is to have a sequencer on a synth. Biggest letdown imo regarding the Prologue, I mean let's create a flagship product and leave out the sequencer...
the interchangable waveforms would make this worth buying alone, but full fx section, stereo out and CVIO plus the sexy new colourway - tak mah money!!!
massimomagrinimusic I clicked on the vid all hopeful like “Oh shit maybe they improved the sound quality! Listen to the whole thing , there was one patch that didn’t sound like a rice crispy. I will take the fattest patch from any logue and it doesn’t stack against the weakest patches of the Analog 4
This is basically a Minilogue with Monologue features added. That's not a bad thing, but for someone like me who has both a Mini and Mono, it's a pass. Still cool, and I have a friend who I think will be all over it.
6 voices-make it about £700 would sway me. ATM you can pick up a Novation peak for £950 & that seems a better deal than this @ £550 with half the voices & less features. I also wish they get rid of the keyboard but they are of course not making this instrument for my needs.
Korg really had to release an overhauled Minilogue since Behringer‘s Deepmind is quite competitive. Glad they did because now I want a Minilogue xd instead of a Deepmind 12. but a deepmind 6 is still 200 bucks cheaper.
That revoiced filter makes me envious...My biggest issue with my minilogue is that pushing the resonance anywhere past like 25% totally cuts the lowend and the loudness...Sadly mine isn't even a year old an it's already out of date
It is a well thought out improvement. I had to couple it with a solid keybed / midi controller....because the keybeds on these are just awful. However, I really enjoy the quality of the synth itself.

lol a friend of mine just got his minilogue two weeks ago for basically the same price as the XD.
lol that friend is me.
All I can say is xd
Rip
Me too hdkwksbdidksvd
Send it back 😉
Same
I can't see this without thinking of the "xD"
Same. First I thought whats so damn funny about the minilogue :D
xD
I like this synth xD
The Minilogue is laughing harder than "xD", it's "XD"'ing.
Rawr uwu what's this
I didn’t understand a word of what this oddly but remarkably dressed gentleman said
LMAO
I'm digging the sweater.
LOL
You should get into music then
This sounds WAY better than I expected it to, and my goodness, it's feature packed! Korg has really hit it out of the park with this one.
The clarity is excellent. It might kind of sound a little too thin at times compared to a Moog but overall it’s a home run
Even Korg couldn't wait 2 weeks for NAMM with this... completely understandable.
Yeah, that's one way to really stick out from the new gear noise. :)
@@PalleSvensson Indeed. Good move in my opinion.
4:12 I keep returning to this lead piece! It sounds amazing!
I think its an 80s song
Kind of sounds dated and somewhat cheesy. Still a great unit though
And that’s the sound of my wallet hitting the screen.
Same. I almost bought the minilogue but glad I didn't, this will b way better

Nick showing off synts makes me want to buy them instantly!
As long as more synthesizer means more Timecop songs everything is fine.
hell yea
Sounded good from the very first second. I like the CV inputs.
Starting off 2019 the RIGHT way
Epic upgrade from the original, plus I love the LED light show! (Blue Please! I'm an easy sell) Delay doesn't sound NOISY! Great work, Korg! A+++++++++++
Evil Orange could fit into my preferences.
@@montazownianr1 Agreed that would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks great! I just got an MS-20 Mini, but looks like I'll be getting the Minilogue XD to add to it soon lol
Dude how do you know that the Delay doesn't sound Noisy, that's why I'm afraid if I get one.
@@fjfrancois with the old Minilogue you just need to turn the Delay up, it starts to "Hiss" making the Delay useless, unless you want the dirty Delay sound :)
What a difference in sound, when it has a stereo-output!!! :D
AsphaltKobold ever heard stereo effects?

To your question: Yes, i heard stereo effects!
Is it stereo synth or mono with stereo effects ? Im confused right now.
@@mayk3l7 stereo with stereo effects
@@fortheloveofnoise so is there some sort of stereo width control or oscilaltor panning ?
A - It looks like Minilogue!
B - Well, ... it is Minilogue xD
Woooah, all of these sounds are fantastic. I have to think about selling my minilogue that i've been using for a few years and buy this beast.
The difference is huge.
This is going to REALLY hit the values of used minilogues!
Standby for mad deals on B-stock/open box Minilogues.
Lmao!! 🎹 〽
I didn’t really like the old one, but this new one makes me want to have one rn!
Sounds absolutely amazing!!!! Love the new filter!
7:26 Nice Daft Punk sequence from the Tron soundtrack.
And the intro piece was rather a lot like an Aphex Twin bit off of Syro.
Yeah it does big time.
The first five seconds of this video sold me this synth. Damn.
I hope you guys put a lot of Minilogues now on Reverb for a good price for me.
every review this guy does, he plays BANGERS really talented musician! I’m sold on this one tbh
I was not a fan of the first gen minilogue but this one has some real magic to it.
These are some seriously gorgeous sounds. Great job Nick!
Sounds great. Like the Tron Legacy style riff.
6:36 nice nick drake loop sequence
i knew someone would get it!
Ah yes :)
1:34 love the sound here
That Sounds like Korg's version of FM. And yes, it's pretty
What is the name of preset?
Thank you very much for this introduction into the Minilogue XD, definitly worth a closer look !
Deep Mind + Monologue XD = Extrastellar Domain
RAAWWWRRR XD

:3 xD lawlz
O_o

Do you know if you can feed external through this to put its effects on sounds?
i like how you introduce test and mess around with these kinds of instruments, thanks mate
Man I haven't done much research on synths but damn I'm buying this!
That stereo field is so W I D E
now i'm glad that shops around me were always out of stock on the original minilogue (and many just focused on promoting the monologue instead) so i never ended up buying it. it sure was a lot of fun, but i'd be pissed if i had one and then saw this video. thanks korg!
I have ordered mine and it's on the way now... I can't wait... so excited.
The fx capabilities adds SO much
extremely dope
i want to add this to my setup
Moog Sub 37 and a Roland JX-3P with PG-200. these three together would be a perfect trio i think
Yo when did Shia LaBeouf start doing synth demos?
Thanks, best demo so far for this synth. Also shows how nice it is to have a sequencer on a synth. Biggest letdown imo regarding the Prologue, I mean let's create a flagship product and leave out the sequencer...
thanks i needed this spontaneous energy to just get the thing
Damn. Damn, damn, damn. DAMMIT! I love my minilogue, and I got it used for a very good price. But this... I neeeeeed it!!!
Dope cardigan Kwas!
Had this been the original minilogue, I wouldn't have sold mine
Sounds and looks great! And the new features are awesome!
oh my that filter sounds so much better than the first one...was one of the reasons i sold mine
great review, great sounds. seems like a mini prologue, which is fine by me! now my minilogue has a new friend.
the interchangable waveforms would make this worth buying alone, but full fx section, stereo out and CVIO plus the sexy new colourway - tak mah money!!!
This seems to actually be a huge improvement over the original. I just hope that the price stays the same or similar.
Samuel Larsen it’s 20 bucks more
In stock at PMT UK for £565

Update: It's $619, aka $100 more.

What about VAT?
This dude really looks like he reviews synths on TH-cam.
I mean that as a compliment
Thats the tokyo city lights sequence at the begining right?
Thats my girl❤ I dont need anything else than this beast and some pedals
onboard efx are dope
Massive improvment in sound and features.
This synth is way more valuable than the price suggests.
Interesting new vibe; thanks for the demo : D
I don’t care a lot for the synth but I love your cardigan ❤️
oh jeez I was focusing too much on the unit I did not notice the 1980's cardigan until now
Why do all of these logues sound so thin?
@@zackorr421 exactly what I think...

caplippi yeah....sounds kinda....uninteresting but not sure if it does more sweatery sounds or what.
2 x Korg xd's = Serious Synthesis Ammunition .
Even 1 from the sound is killer !!
I need this RIGHT NOW. also nice sweater. all around great video.
I was all set to get the Moog Grandmother. Not anymore. I have to get this XD.
Sweet🍒..... But they took away the external audio input😖
Wow....another level of SOUNDS! WELL DONE KORG! I was looking for Grandma MOOG in a near future but no more.
Well that escalated quickly.
This is basically a Minilogue with Monologue features added. That's not a bad thing, but for someone like me who has both a Mini and Mono, it's a pass. Still cool, and I have a friend who I think will be all over it.
Gracefully forgetting the digital oscillator and effects from Prologue, eh?
glad I'd waited for this !!
amazing, my jaw dropped when those 808 sounds surfaced
Perfect.
Only potential deal breaker is the lack of the bi-timbrality we found on the prologue. REAL PITY
Looks like my minilogue will have a play date soon.
Wish it upped the voice count to at least 8
that's what i'm saying too..I don't really see it as much of an improvement if they don't increase the voice's at all..
PROLOGUE, dude...
6 voices-make it about £700 would sway me. ATM you can pick up a Novation peak for £950 & that seems a better deal than this @ £550 with half the voices & less features. I also wish they get rid of the keyboard but they are of course not making this instrument for my needs.
@Ben Champion 8 would be too much but at least 5-6 would be reasonable..
@Ben Champion some people actually wanna be able to play complex chords and don't care much for sequencers..
So they went forwards fromt the Minilogue with the Proluge and backwards to go forwards with the XD?
This looks and sounds awesome.
I NEED
That flanger bit is great.
Sold
jest piękny, it's beautiful
This got that futuristic funk
Korg really had to release an overhauled Minilogue since Behringer‘s Deepmind is quite competitive. Glad they did because now I want a Minilogue xd instead of a Deepmind 12. but a deepmind 6 is still 200 bucks cheaper.
I knew that intro sequence sounded familiar. TokyoCityLights by ghostradioshow. A somewhat obscure op-1 tune you can find here on TH-cam. Nice!!
wow best demo ever !! ima buy one
I sold my Minilogue about a week after I bought it.. however, this looks like a pretty sweet upgrade.
Roman Domenick me too, didn’t like the sound at all but the 3rd oscillator is helping on xD
Don't be afraid Nick, you know what I mean.
Anywho, this is going to be an amazing synth for sure.
PWM
FANtastic demo! ❤️
With that sweater, Nick appears as though he should be Bill Cosby's cellmate. Cripes!
its like a bad ikea rug
Woah.... sounds about 10000000x better than the original Minilogue
That intro track tho!! Wooo, so freakin good. Money spent in advance, again.
I LOVE your Vids, Nick Kwas!
Thank You for 'Breakin'It Down!'!
Peace!
I have the original Minilogue and now I'm going to sell it on Reverb.
fast!
Loss of audio input for stereo output seems like a fair trade to me.....although I wish it kept the audio input as well.
Weird Music Yeah, but thankfully the cheaper Monologue has that so that's good.
Awwwwww damn!!! I didn't think I'd be interested as I love the Prologue so much but I could use this as well.
That joystick seems similar to the Sigma's in function but with modern sounds and parameters to manipulate. I like it. XD
Man that is crunchy town!
BEST SOUNDING SYNTH EVERRRR
That revoiced filter makes me envious...My biggest issue with my minilogue is that pushing the resonance anywhere past like 25% totally cuts the lowend and the loudness...Sadly mine isn't even a year old an it's already out of date

rs vp There's now a cheaper module version, so your wish was granted.
It is a well thought out improvement. I had to couple it with a solid keybed / midi controller....because the keybeds on these are just awful. However, I really enjoy the quality of the synth itself.
