I wish more synth demos were tracks like this instead of random knob turning and space noises. Beautiful piece. I am hooked to your music.
Thank you! Yes one of the things I really try to do in every video is to have some sort of musical progression. Glad you like it. :)))
I mean, those are fun too haha but totally agree. There is so much to this synth
Both are good to have.
These videos really show the depth of what these synths can do, while many instructional pieces focus on the scope. I enjoy these as well.
Make no mistake. This is not a synth demo, it’s a composition and live performance. The artist is performing, not the machine.
Wow. True Vangelis atmosphere with goosebumps.
I have one minilogue xd, so I know what it can do. Hearing this great rendition played by someone else, simply proves to me that the xd is a serious piece of kit! Beautiful sound; cool lighting.
Deeply beautiful! Vangelis bladerunner mood!
You made me make the final push to get the XD. Beautiful, beautiful, very talented work man. Got me emotional there. :)
I was on the fence with this synth. Found one online, talked myself out of it, half way through this video I flew back to the site to buy it. Great job. Beautiful vibes.
Fantastic piece direct from Mars’ past.
This actually has a sound of its own
This is stunning! I love synthesizer music. Folks like you who can produce it are like wizards to me. Keep up the electronic sorcery- it's like a blissful elixir for my ears!
It's surprisingly easy to get into! Buy a microfreak and a reverb pedal and you'll be surprised at the awesome music you can make
Bravo!
Love the Blade Runner vibes. Very good work dude. 👍
Both Minilogues have the most beautiful brass. Nice arrangement.
Woaw, this is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Amazing. thankyou for sharing your wonderful music.
You're very welcome! :)
Great composition and sounds.
Truly beautiful. I am listening to this on my high-end headphones. The XD sounds stunning.
I've been trying to decide between this and the Blofeld. This video and Sonic Lab's put the XD over the edge.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes there really is a certain magic to the sound of the XD. The combination of analog and digital is executed really elegantly, and the open source oscillators and effects make it very unique.
That said, I do have the Blofeld as well. It has a distinctly digital sound to it that's really pleasing to me as well. Just a really different approach and architecture overall that leads to different sonic results. :)
Check out the four patch demo videos by Push-Pull to hear the huge range of rich sounds the XD is capable of. I love this little synth.
@@cp-the-nerd Thank you. I have listened to his various demonstrations. My decision has been made-I am adding this to my studio. It is going sound phenomenal recorded through the 4k mode on my Solid State Logic preamps.
I have a Blofeld and now I’m getting the XD....very excited! They’re quite different I think. Blofeld is dedicated wavetable/digital. XD is very interesting hybrid of analog-digital. I love them both and they each have a unique sound. They also can both do many things well. I want the XD because I need a poly analog but I also really like the digital customizable oscillator and effects. Also Blofeld has a nice Arp, but XD seems to have an easy to use Arp and sequencer. I’d say still get a Blofeld desktop if you can as 2nd hand is fairly inexpensive. Also it’s multitimbral which is an excellent addition. As an alternative to Blofeld the Argon 8 desktop seems to be an excellent wavetable. Although it’s about $100 more than XD and is monotimbral. Effects on Blofeld aren’t very good but the modulation options are excellent and it sounds great regardless.
@@cp-the-nerd how do I hear these videos by push pull?
BEAUTIFUL. i MUST HAVE THIS MACHINE!
Beautiful! Thank you!
I could listen to this for hours...I have many synthesizers including Prophet's, Moog's, Roland's and also Andromeda`s A6.
I don't want to boast here! But, what you're doing here with the little Korg machine is great, great cinema.
And it just shows once again, no matter what equipment you have, in the right hands it sounds indescribable and just wonderful!
Such a beautiful sound and creation in general!!! I can't wait to get my xd 🙂
Your videos have such a nice ambience to them, really great stuff man! The Minilogue sounds great, hope to get it one day.
Wonderful ambient music and a great demo of Minilogue, thank you!
Your music is soothing, thank you
Inspired
Such a wonderful soundscape and beautiful work ! I've just subbed to your channel...
Thank you so much! :)
Such an incredible, majestic piece ❤❤❤❤
This is so beautiful. Sounds amazing.
Fantastic sounding demo
Wow, that is beautiful! ❤
I'm planning getting a minilogue myself! It'll be my first ever synth so I'm pretty hyped...! 😅
Beautiful!
I dream of having Korg Minilogue and MS-20(((
That is inspiring!
Great sounds ❤❤
Amazing...great patch, effects, and above all, playing!
Is it your own patch or a preset and which hammmondeggs reverbs?
Excuse me if the video shows this, I'm going through again for the third time and I keep closing my eyes and drifting away...
Thank you very much! It is my own patch comprising two detuned saws, and a slow attack, decay and release. I also added some velocity sensitivity via the menu.
I believe I used the Cathedral reverb by hammondeggsmusic.
@@FallingIslands ah, cathedral! I really enjoy the theatre reverb, but this didn't sound quite the same. I'm a mediocre keyboardist so I usually set velocity to 127 across the board, but this really shows the value of velocity sensitivity. The detuned saws and slow envelope sound right for the blade runner sound, but it's the subtleties and finesse that really make it. Sounds fantastic, thanks for letting us listen!
Brilliant
Stunning!!! ♥
nostalgic 👍
Excellent.
🪄 magic, thank you❤❤❤
Super 👍🏻
vraiment superbe bravo
Delicious.
Wow, thats a very beautiful reverb. I see you hammering that octave switch . _. I went for the module and a separate midi 61 keyboard
Thank you! Yup I do find the little keyboard quite limiting. Sometimes I hook up my 61 key keyboard to get a wider range as well; really opens up the instrument!
That said, the small size of the unit itself is quite handy for when I need to do a performance, or when I need to shift things around. Pros and cons I guess!
Really nice sound from that XD man, keep up the good work!
Excellent song and example of this synth. Thank you. I chose XD module over Argon 8 and Hydrasynth. I realize the differences but was tempted by all 3. From demos, XD and Argon 8 had best sound and most immediate use imho. It was a tough decision. The customizable oscillator and effects on XD won me over as the synth is always ‘current.’ Also, it seemed to be the most immediate of the bunch and I like the straight forward note entry, arp & sequencer. I also wanted an analog poly, and I’m thinking of adding a 2nd XD for the polyphony. Wondering if adding a second XD increases the step sequencer to 32 step, lol? Probably not but would be great!
what patches are you using?
Good stuff xd
This is amazing! Please share how you patched it for this beautiful piece 🙏🏻
*pauses video to go buy a minilogue xd*
Is it possible to download any of your patches?
jesus man, amazing. Really really amazing. Do you think this is worth buying for a beginner? Or should i go for something cheaper
Thank you!!! I would say this is absolutely worth investing in for a beginner. It's really easy to pick up and tweak right out of the box, and even when one gets better at synthesis, it'll still continue being a great source of inspiration.
What patch are you using and is it for sale?
How did you learn to improvise?
Absolutely love this. Convinced me to choose Minilogue over the Deepmind, can you please make this patch/program avaialble?
Hi there! Unfortunately it may be a little difficult for me to share the patch as I used the third party effects section. I do have a good idea of how to recreate it though. It's a relatively simple patch.
All you have to do is set both analog oscillators to SAW, then detune the second oscillator by a very small amount (about +3cts). It has to be just enough such that Oscillator 2 "smears" against Oscillator 1, but doesn't chorus too much. Then just set the attack and release of both Envelopes to a really high value, and you should be good to go. Just apply reverb to taste. Hope this helps! :)
@@FallingIslands Thanks so much for responding!
That poor octave switch. :b
Niceeeeeee. Which one would you choose over the other, the original or the xd?
If I had to only pick one, I would go with the XD, as it's analog / digital hybrid nature offers a lot more sonic possibilities! Not to mention the open-source oscillator and effects slots that really make it unlike any other synth in the same price range.
The original Minilogue does have its own distinct sonic character though; definitely more "pure" analog, and I do find its filter to have some sweet spots that are harder to achieve on the XD, the latter having a more aggressive and buzzy 2-pole filter.
The Ocean Beneath did a really fantastic side-by-side comparison video of the two synths, which you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/nsyPCqOt4nw/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps!:)
@@FallingIslands thank you for that great reply, man! Means a lot
Can I use this audio as background music for my videos if I link to this video onscreen at the end of the video?
Sure!
@@FallingIslands I will link here as soon as it gets done.
Ive seen some things you humans have never seen
My 10-year-old son has chosen this to start his music journey. He’s literally played nothing before. Would you be able to guide him on how you created some of these sounds?
That is awesome to hear! I've got some tips for Blade Runner/Vangelis-esque sounds. Generally, the way I make them is to simply put two sawtooth waveforms together and detune the second sawtooth till they start to "smudge" and phase against each other. I then give the sounds a slow attack and release for both the amplitude and filter cutoff to make them swell. The final step would be just to layer on copious amounts of reverb and delay. The internal effects in the minilogue xd should be plenty.
Hope this helps!
This is awesome did you make your own preset?
Can you loop on this? Or can you record and playback infinitely?
Hi there! Yes, you can loop on this synth and have infinite overdubs (no undos though), but only if you install a looper plugin into the Minilogue XD's third-party effects slot. I don't actually use it in this specific video, but in several of my other videos, I make use of Roll-log Sounds LogLooper, which is a free logueSDK plugin built for the Korg Prologue, Minilogue XD, and NTS-1 synthesizers.
You can find the link to Roll-log Sounds' LogLooper video here: th-cam.com/video/x5NVkUE8c30/w-d-xo.html
The download link to the LogLooper plugin itself is here: rolllogsounds.gumroad.com/l/rolllog_free_pack
Hope this helps!
@@FallingIslands thanks so much, incredibly helpful and appreciate the links!
Znakomite.
You have an XD and an OG … which do you prefer?! 😊. Thanks! Liked & Sub’d
Guess you don’t prefer either, lol. dk
