What crazy cosmic timing - I literally ordered one of these 2 days ago - it's still in the mail! - and lo and behold, this video from one of my favorite gear channels. Even with the small gripes expressed in this video (I agreee that slightly higher polyphony would be nice, yes) I still absolutely love the tones and the interface and I'm so excited to start messing around with it!

Nice!!! Have you already received it?

[@helisoma]

There's something familiar, even nostalgic, yet fresh, about your jams, particularly the finale here, just smooth and chill, love it. I have a Korg Prophecy and I like how Korg has it's own sound and a particular kind of bite. I think everyone should try a Korg at least once in their synth career. Great review as usual

[@DJDrue]

Another fantastic episode, this time on my FAVORITE piece of gear... you can have my XD module when you can pry it from my cold dead fingers! That being said, I understand the lack of LFO options, and the limited sequencer ticking the box, but not the needs of sound designers. Personally, I find the analog sources mixed with the digital effects to be a great combination. I just wish I could make songs as clean as Florian does.

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you so much!!!

[@jack3361]

Yet another wonderfully titled outro jam. You are one of the most consistent KZbin contributors I know

[@vjspectron]

Thanks for covering this "bad gear," it's always nice seeing what you have to say about these machines! The XD is great, but it really shines when you sync it to grooveboxes or a drum machine. I noticed none of the visual examples of the synth show its sequencer running at a non-default resolution: you can get a lot out of it by (i.e.) turning down the resolution to 1 step per bar and having 16 steps of pad/arp/chord motion sequenced...all before you even consider the FX chain! If you're using it for its sequencing, the 4 motion lanes that control almost anything give you back a lot of what you lose in traditional modulation.

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you so much!!!

[@jakobthiesen]

the XD is a desert island synth, especially if you get the sinevibes bundle. the oscillators are complex and rich. top shelf.

[@PhilipVideos21]

my current main synth! i love the dark energy you are pulling out of it, you always seem to get the character of a synth to the forefront and i cant wait to try out matching some of those textures. with this vid , the es-1 and the volcas u've got all my korg gear covered (until i get into some debt and purchase the microkorg 2....)

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you so much!!!

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Awesome!

[@JessFromSquareOne]

My go-to synth for years. Its simplicity and versatility are its strength. But I think its versatility comes mainly from its user oscillator, and I would never bought one without that huge feature. Tom Shoebridge's OSCs are awesome, among others. It's a multi genre synth. I constantly find ideas with just by browsing sounds, tweaking knobs and effects etc. 80% of my jams use at last one XD. It's so good that I acquired a second one recently. Not only it doubles the polyphony in polychain mode but I got to reuse the user oscillators I bought. Yes, modulation is limited. But that's enough for making great jams/prods. Love that tiny hybrid synth!! Thanks for that video, because I do think it's still underrated. And I love the key bed (the keys size especially). It's a great synth when you are a beginners, it's still a fun guy when you're a seasoned home studio enthusiast, IMHO.

[@benox50]

Im planing to buy another used module, to tower them ontop of eachother xD. it will be more flexible than a bi-timbral prologue, cause each can be tweak, motion/sequence independently, but most importantly, the footprint of one is good enough to be taken to the couch to do chill sound design

[@JessFromSquareOne]

I do think they sound pretty good in a specific kind of way. It’s not something that I could get by with if I could only have one synth, but I had one for a while and it was a nice workhorse for a while and it sort of occupied a different sonic region than my vintage stuff did. It has a really modern and focused sound to it, and while it doesn’t have the thwump that you want from an analog synth, it does have something worth having around.

I love my XD, and using the CV ins with my Explorer outs has really opened up sound design and modulation potential. Every Hydra patch has a macro or two dedicated to modulatng the XD through the CV’s!

[@user82938]

I agree completely with your conclusion and your comment about fitting it into a mix. No idea how they managed to take the punch and clarity out of analog, but there it is.

[@AudioPilz]

It's weird, I know...

[@TooSlowTube]

Maybe it's the result of digitising it. You don't get to hear the analog parts directly, You only get to hear it digitised then converted back to audio, after the effects section. My main gripe is that the saved patches don't contain all the information for the digital oscillators, so if I make a patch I like with those involved and save it, what I load back next time can be quite different. I really liked it at first, and still have it, but that's put me off playing it for some time now.

[@ianmorton1799]

​@@TooSlowTubeThat's odd, I've had one since they came out and over the last year I've been mostly using the digital oscillator, partly because it never goes out of tune and partly because I had made about as many unique analog patches as I could with that synth architecture...but I never have had issues with the patch loading differently from the time before. Might be an issue to contact Korg support about.

[@cornoc]

@@TooSlowTube It's not the result of digitizing anything. You don't get to hear analog "directly" no matter what unless you're listening to the analog outs through an analog mixer on your speakers or headphones. By the time audio is in your DAW, or you're listening to it on Spotify or Bandcamp, you're hearing it digitized. It doesn't matter. As long as you're using a reasonable bit depth like 16-bit or higher, it's more or less perfectly reproduced within the bandwidth the sample rate allows, according to Shannon-Nyquist sampling theorem (at least as far as human hearing can detect), with some quantization noise floor depending on the bit depth (at 24-bit or higher, you're not hearing this unless your monitoring is ludicrously loud, especially while other sounds are playing).

[@TooSlowTube]

@@cornoc I don't use a DAW for any of that, only to host Ctrlr for setting up MIDI controllers to control hardware, or occasionally to play free VST instruments. So, yes, normally if I play an analog synth what I'm hearing is analog, not digitised.

[@bernyboss]

Great episode. Another one of the “not so bad gear” ones!!! I loved my XD. I exchanged it with a vintage MS-10 back in the days, after training on it.

It feels a little "basic" at first blush, but once you learn to install and experiment with the digital oscillators and FX it turns into a whole new beast capable of so much more: high polyphony VA, FM, additive and waveshaping synthesis, MS20 style distortion, ultra wet ambient drones... Big shout to hammondeggs and SineVibes!! I'd wager it's Korgs's most flexible synth. On top of that, it always just sounds SO GOOD. It's so hard to make it sound bad.

The user oscillators are amazing. Despite the limited capacity of the hardware developers have made wonders. Just now someone ported most of Mutable Instruments Braids to it. Tim Shoebridge's Vector oscillator is pure gold. Modulation is annoyingly limited. With my Prologue I use the Copilot Broadcast pedal, which is a tap tempo LFO with expression pedal and cv output. And with many waveforms.

It’s only my second full size synth but I like it a lot. It is very clean and stable (which is what lead me to then buy the Poly D so I had something dirtier), but this thing is very flexible, stable and the oscillators work perfectly with the effects when other synths do not necessarily (try running them off the NTS-1 onto every synth you have). It’s amazing for ambient, great for synthwave, and can do a lot of good lead sounds.

[@briandavidgregory]

You just HAD to throw in a dig at Drumlogue - well played.

[@raul0ca]

[@AudioPilz]

[@lordflatworm]

The 'logues are fantastic for live performance. If you play synth in a band, I very much suggest a prologue or an XD, if you just need a little synth. Don't forget the expression pedal!

[@AudioPilz]

👍👍👍

[@Drinkyoghurt]

The minilogue xd is this inbetween thing, like a highschooler with ADHD, so much potential but it's all left unused or mismanaged. They could've easily added another LFO and at least an aftertouch capable keybed. On my keybed, 2/3 of it is so bad that it requires a lot of force to actually trigger notes. But the worst about this is the sequencer. 16 steps, no proper transpose function (it restarts the entire sequence when you transpose) and very difficult to also sequence anything else with it. Still, due to its versatility I use it for 90% of my sounds and just let something else sequence it (either Ableton or the also kinda good, kinda bad Korg SQ64). Btw, you can change arpeggio modes by twisting the "Voice mode" knob. Speaking of knobs, the stock ones are impossible to see in a dark environment, so I replaced mine with Moog style knobs. Good SDKs can be had for free from Hammondeggs, he even has a free Plaits oscillator for the digital oscillator. Speaking of custom SDKs, I hope you never change the ones you have because your patches really depend on them being there, and not just being there, but also being in the exact same slot it's expected to be. If you move an oscillator/reverb/delay/mod patch and you have patches that use it, well, the patch won't work.

[@AudioPilz]

Interesting analogy!

[@acdemiralp2998]

[@ofootyeabicc201]

Memes aside is there stuff besides synths that you want to review/roast that’s still related to audio/video/general media creation? Capture cards, GPUs, DJ gear, speakers, and even cable management solutions? Benn Jordan occasionally rips into such stuff and DJ CITY TV reviewed an IKEA table meant for DJs(Swedish House Mafia). You reviewed the monologue a number of years back and it was such a good bread-and-butter mono synth it kept me from buying a moog. It’s the only synth I regret selling. Anyways thanks for your great videos!

How things have changed - a few years ago I used to be pi55ed off when my gear was featured on this show. Over the last 2 years though any box I own and like is bad-geared - it's a BIG "YESSS!! Another one!" 😀 I love my XD. It's the only keyboard synth which sits permenently on my desk. I wish multi-oscillator had more dedicated controls - it needs that desperatly considering how much additional complexity to explore is there. There's motion sequencing for every parameter and each 16th step can be arped independently. TBH I kinda expected you'd groovebox the be-oscillator out of it in this demo. But that's OKAY - you've grown old, you own 2 touchpad TB-3's 😜

I have an OG Minilogue and love the crap out of it. One thing I heard that the XD falters in is that it only has a 2 pole filter instead of the OGs switchable 2/4 pole filter. Why they changed that, I have no clue. Being able to switch allows better mixing for sure!

I really like this synth. I have the desktop version as I knew the keyboard was... shait. But I like the sounds and the multi osc is really fun to play with.

Thank you so much!!!

love the melodic playing. i did buy mine partially for the joystick though 😆 i thought i was the only one thinking it was lacking a bit of punch and grit for an analog synth. thanks for the episode!

Thank you so much!!!

I had a lot of fun with the sdk for this, it was the reason I bought this synth. I could get it to do what I wanted to do and it came in a proper package with some analog VCOs too.

Oh crap...a synth I've been drooling over is on bad gear. What does that say about my taste?

[@ChainsawCoffee]

You have good taste. Just add enough condiments on it!

[@AudioPilz]

Add some sugar and cream;)

[@williambrown319]

@@AudioPilz those pedals are pricey though :)

Wow! 2 bad gear videos in a row of gear I own, and almost good respect by AudioPilz for them. I just need to remove the dust covers of the Circuit Tracks and Minilogue XD and make them play together again.
