65 years old and have always loved electronic music and I bought the Minilogue XD as my first synth . I love this instrument it sounds so full it's amazing and time just fly's when I play it 3 hours fells like 10 min . Lots to learn and I never played keyboards before but I'm making music and it sounds great and feels fantastic a real immersive experiance . I added the Volca Drum to this and WOW . Had it now for 4 months lots to learn but it's very inspiring , Love this Synth.
One difference with the module: you can flip a special switch to use the sequencer button row to play notes, as an improvised keyboard. Also worth noting is that the joystick is retained; often such keyboard-oriented modulation options (specifically mod and pitch wheels) are removed in module versions.
When I seen Korg doing a new Minilogue video, thought it would be for a newer version. Getting my hopes up there Korg! Love this synth, although I would love one with more LFOs, more voices, mod matrix etc. The Prologue could have been so much more, so give us the Minilogue Pro please!
Even just an extra LFO (or two) and dedicated knobs for all the multi-engine parameters would convince me to save for a 16 voice Prologue II (bonus if it includes all the missing features from the XD). A mod matrix would be epic of course. Afraid it would make the costs skyrocket then though, which is also a factor to take into consideration... perhaps that's something for another 'logue' they can name the 'Epilogue' or something ;).
Love this damn thing so much...has seen off synths 3 to 5 times it's price from my studio space, really is a joy and so inspiring to use. Just wish it came with a "Luke from Korg" in the box so I can find answers to questions easily!
So, did you guys patch key transpose yet or is that still unusable? As it stands now, when you play another chord/note it immediately starts the sequence at step 1, instead of continuing where it was. This makes the key transpose feature that was added a while back absolutely useless... Also, not sure if it's a hardware limitation, but 16 step sequencing at such a price point is just not great. Edit: to add to this. Chaining is nice, but without audio in it eats up another 2 inputs on your mixer/sound card. Don't get me wrong, I love my minilogue xd, but it feels so poorly thought out/executed and support after release seems non-existent.

Can Korg please give us a new XD firmware update beyond the 2.1 from 4 - 5 years ago? :) We could use some love. ❤❤❤ ps. Nice demo.
Nice 👍🏻
Korg is lucky to have you, Luke…
He only shows 1 combo trick with polychaining with an extra module. But can you do way more in this combonation?
Nice but I'm waiting for my Wavestate Module 😁😁
wish they made a 16 voice version of it... oh wait
Sadly the sequencer has only 16 steps ,that's it's major flaw !
Just get a artuia beat step pro
