That brass sound you play at 20:55, Aphex used that on his demo track "Korg Funk 5". You ask "is it a gentle sound?"... not when HE used it.
The Minilogue and Monologue are both so amazing. I can't believe what we have access to at these prices these days. I would have KILLED for something like these back in the early 90s.
8:41 "Bridget Jones is involved in the tuning"
Haha!
Man i loved this synth. I wish it had a 4-pole filter tho. Made me sell it and get the miniogue instead.
I did like using it as a Drum Machine! I feel like thats the cheat code with this
Yeah, it's almost got Metal Fetishist vibes! I was a bit hard on it, but for drums, you're quite right, it bangs well!
You probably know already but if you hold the key trig button down until it flashes you don't have to hold the key down, it'll hold until you press another key. Good video btw - captured my strange feeling towards it, I can't get rid of it, even though I don't use it that much, mostly because I'm drawn to synths that do their own specific thing rather than being a jack of all trades.
Thank you very much. Yes, I think you hit the nail on the head, and I feel the same, but I won't be getting rid of it!
The entire time that you are describing how "limited, lifeless and harsh" it is, you have it on sync and both mixer levels are full blast into the filter. Notice how you come up with more positive things to say when you change presets?
Yep!
Fair comment. But I stand by my experience with this synth: I seem to run into limitations with it much more often than with, for example, the BS2.
The gold ones sound the best!😊
I actually think there might be something in that! The visual and tactile feedback does influence our perceptions of other senses... Maybe I'll spray mine gold and see what happens!
@@BOOelectric I totally agree iv just orded the black one i hope i get along with it
had one for a year and it's ..........dunno. just not inspiring
I'm totally with you on this.
Its biggest problem is sticky knobs! And very expensive replacements from the terrible (UK) korg customer service group.
The knobs themselves or the potentiometers?
