Build-in Looper in Korg Minilogue xd

[@martinvanhouten]

How can someone dislike this mindblowing gift you shared here? Thank you!

[@Stadsjaap]

This is the single most useful trick for any synthesizer that I have ever encountered in all my years. Thanks, Danbo, you're a legend!

[@otuon2441]

This is a genius and extremely creative way to use the delay Well done! Definitely subbing now! Would love to watch more Minilogue XD videos from you.

[@minorjoy-records]

Great video, now feeling inspired to go and try this 😀

[@judeConnelly]

The BPM setting limitation was driving me nuts! Even if I don't use the loop further down the line, it's been worth watching just to find out you can ramp it or take it lower for other uses. Excellently communicated too. Many thanks.

[@judeConnelly]

(I probably will be using the loop though!) :)

[@truedanbo]

You are very welcome! Jude

[@Aqzaqa]

This is great. You could even play with the envelope to create a percussive layer.

[@earthhuman5448]

Great video! Thanks

[@stephenshumaker8444]

Holy schnitzel! Great work, I watch a lot of minilogue xd videos and your technique is truly inspiring! Thank you!!! I will be trying this post haste...

[@truedanbo]

Stephen Shumaker Thanks Stephen!

[@MyBurdenToBury]

This sincerely made my imagination go wild.I can't wait to get mine home to try this for myself.Thank you so much for taking the time to explain how the looping was achieved,its brilliant 👏

[@truedanbo]

Thank you so much for the kind word!

[@TropDeco]

Wow. Thanks

[@MrrDoNN]

i think it even is a factory built in program at around 200.. But great video. I also sometimes do this and its really good to just think about the music

[@twoHRdrive]

I love your sounds so much! And of course the additional info was insightful....

[@brianr5975]

Outstanding tutorial and improvisation! I just purchased the module and your demonstration has provided a new dimension for my creativity. Thank you!

[@truedanbo]

Brian R Hi Brian, glad this video helps, :)

[@pyrofiliac]

this is awesome! im glad my patch of the week inspired you!

[@truedanbo]

Thanks, Nick! You did an awesome video series that always inspired me. I've updated the description to include your original video. :) Thanks again!

[@Folkstone1957]

Another thing you can do is play your original part at double the tempo, then drop the tempo to produce a nice open, ambient sound.

[@BenWellby]

Excellent. I love how well you explain your process and the thinking behind it

[@truedanbo]

Ben Wellby Thanks mate.

Dude ! This is so helpful 👌 your videos get through to me some how! Thanks for sharing

[@truedanbo]

Glad it helps. You are very welcome! Harry

[@SanderAnderon]

thanks, I've used long delays as loopers for years (4 -10 second ones best) but didn't know how to slow down the XD's 2 sec. delay ceiling via Seq Edit/BPM, very cool tip! Which also applies to very slow tempo Arps, Sequences etcs....so this is a double cool tip, thanks.

[@truedanbo]

Glad it helps.

[@viktormerkel1550]

It’s really cool to lern it. I want to see, how can you build an analog synthesizer beat with minilogue xd.

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

I would do this delay looping with my 1010Music BlackBox sampler. Just use slightly less complex looping on the Minilogue, and then record five or more different ones for the sample pads on the sampler. Then launch combinations as see what happens. Once you find the combination you like sequence them into a phrase and then play a melody with the Minilogue to the sampler.

Super useful! Peace from Sweden

[@miguelmendezisla2956]

Thanks a lot for this video!

[@simonedmondson7633]

This is a really great idea for creating layers of music which are continually flowing and evolving. Great technique and thanks for sharing!!!

[@truedanbo]

Thanks Terre for the kind word! I'll keep up :)

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

Very VERY interesting. Thank you for sharing with us! About 5 years ago, with the availability of highly programmable effects devices, I realized that my 35 years of subtractive sound design experience needed to add much more experience in effects chain designs. Highly creative effects designs like yours is improving on subtractive design making more interesting sounds. To me a composer of synthesizer music first job is to create instruments that perfectly match the need of the song score being written. After attempting to be a symphony composer from 1990 to 2000 I decided I wasted those 10 years by trying to "FAKE" people out with a sampled instrument orchestration. Using 90s tech made for horrible sounding symphonies. And even today with millions of sample libraries it is still not to my liking. Today we have the opportunity to create our own instruments and then orchestrate them in a song, this is (should) be the goal of any synthesist. The Synth has opened the door for the ultimate in creativity: 1) Sound design for creating our own instruments 2) Effects design for creating our own environment. 3) A creative score. 4) Memorable leads and melodies. 5) Innovative accompaniment, chord structures and progressions. 6) FM design. Granular design. Modular design. Sample/resample design (sampling our analog synths and layering patches to make gigantic stereo moving images of sound). Total creative freedom.

[@hooch8395]

brilliant :-)

[@woodhovia]

Wow I love this idea to create an evolving sound, definitely going to be using this, cheers and subbed.

[@corzakkzakkcor3309]

Hi Danbo,great tip! another way to get around the metronome is to go into global setting and enable the metronome for real time recording then start real time record and the metronome will start then import your notes to the beat ,stop recording after the first run and delete the notes on the sequencer, the notes played will still keep playing in time,hope that helps

[@truedanbo]

corzakk zakkcor Great tip you got here too! Happy new year!

I was on the right side of the fence with with feet dangling! You just made me jump!! Incredible tutorial👌🏿.Excuse me a minute.”Hello is this Sweetwater?😂😂

But...Minilogue xd does HAVE a METRONOME!

[@pete2070]

Very interesting! And now I'm off to create a loop on my m/l xd. Thanks for the tutorial 👍

[@alseveron6558]

Gread video, I'm looking for a 32-key synth in this price range (or lower) with a decent sequencer/looper. So I'm currently deciding between the Mililogue and the Roland JD-Xi. Can anyone suggest any other polysynths with similar looping facilities?

[@vccranker]

I agree with others. This is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for this. Just watching and listening is a real treat!

[@allanbegg4580]

Have a Koro Minmogue XD also a Strymon Big Sky unit and thinking of getting Strymon Night Sky unit also

[@gusgarcia4461]

Thank you so very much for this incredible display. I’ll be all over that information in the next few minutes. I’ll subscribe too.

[@Angelstarscotland]

very nice well done, need to give this a try myself pleae check out my Minilogue XD patches on my channel

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

Nice, I do something very similar with Sub 37 patched into a RE20 space echo and then ventris reverb, on Space echo have the delay intensity set to almost max and repeat rate at maximum, echo volume at 4oclock and this goes into a spacey type reverb on ventris, play notes on the sub 37 and they linger hrs if you let them, and you can play over the top all day long adding new things.

[@truedanbo]

Good stuff mate!

[@GIJSV13]

Hello, i have few questions, 1. Can i do all this looping without a laptop or computer? 2. How do i end a loop?

[@introvert3377]

jrush54 Thanks to you jrush54 for the kind comment! This method is pretty new to me and you can feel my excitement and hopefully We can both make good use of it!

Hey Danbo Have you checked out presetpatch.com ? XD users can share patches. It’s pretty cool. I just need to be careful not to submit patches that use non-XD (User created) Oscillators

If anyone happens to know, do any of the stereo delays have the same length of delay possible as the mono bpm delay?

I've been going back and forth about which hardware synth to get. This one, in modular form, seems to be winning. Thanks!

This is fantastic Danbo! I like the sequencer, but this looping effect is something I have been wondering about, super epic for long atmospheric jams. The fade out feature you described is brilliant, and would allow for great change over time, thanks for sharing!!

[@MrStevem121]

Hi Danbo. Thanks for sharing this. Really cool. Love the thought that the layers all eventually fade and the loop is forever evolving. I just ordered my XD this evening but have a question. Can I use an external metronome and set it to 44 too? Assuming that if I play in time with the external, the Korgs will start as soon as I play, and hence I will be able to keep track of time because of the external?
