[@cemegonuts]

It's funny. I want one of these so bad. Every time I have a hard day at my job, I just fire up this video and suddenly my working/monetary goals are renewed. It's like getting the christmas wish catalog in the mail. Thank you.

[@mariamachuca3993]

Hahahah that's exactly the same effect I get with instruments and not wanting to go to work.

[@baaaaaah2503]

lol every time I get the itch to buy a new synth I fire up this vid and remember to be patient... Mid March delivery 😍

[@thestatpow5]

I hope you got it!

[@ColinvanWaardenberg]

Did you manage to save up already?

[@thestatpow5]

It's been 10 month, did you finally order one? :)

[@tomski2671]

Blade Runner patch in the first slot - good idea. Every synth should come with the Blade runner patch, or even a dedicated Blade Runner patch button 😀

[@TheParanoidAndroid79]

Some people complain that it's done to death, but those are bad people who should be poked with sticks.

[@romanbaygildin315]

More CS80 than CS80

[@josephwright5921]

Like a CS80 replicant?

[@chrisliddiard725]

The GM midi sound set should also have in its 128 presets 'the Blade Runner patch"

[@GB3770]

I agree the blade runner blues patch especially

[@Kizunaut]

What a fantastic sounding synth.

[@Brendan-Black]

Agreed. It blows away the original Minilogue IMO.

[@hedegaard8]

Kizunaut yeah, pleasant surprise

[@chrisstrobel3439]

Brendan Black Yeah I agree .. I have the original .. but isn’t it mostly because of the stereo effects? I.E. What happens when you run the original through a suite of Strymon boxes or even VST effects?

[@WillieG1016]

Chris Strobel I’ve run mine through a specular tempus and was able to get some amazing pads akin to these, but the digital oscillator on this does give sounds you can’t get on the og minilogue.

[@Gainn]

Some of the sequences they got out of this really make it seem like a lot greater than 4-note polyphony.

[@scouthanamura2380]

This is a real public service you're doing, loopop - thank you! Also, this synth sounds just great, Korg really has done a pretty good job with the logue lineup of synths

[@gjc82071]

I've got a Minilogue & Prologue. I can't wait to add the XD to my collection. It's sounds great.

[@kmontzka]

Thanks for another video only playing the presets from the unit! When you did it for the Digitone, it gave me a clear idea that it was perfect for me (and bought it at KnobCon in Sept). Now with the xd, as a current minilogue owner, I can tell this is absolutely worth it.

[@pronicktheblade7794]

Every preset is an absolute banger! The Minilogue XD is a definite cop for me. Thanks for the demo, can wait to cook up some heat with this synth.

[@mattkastle3857]

Getting one tomorrow 👍🏻 happy daze…😀

[@camdoe49]

Just got my 0-Coast going with the Minilogue XD.... playing both instruments in unison is creating some of the biggest sounds ive ever heard :) Thanks for all your inspiration loopop!!

[@ultrasyd]

That 2nd preset is so impressive, I love the demo sequence

[@AsphaltKobold]

Well programmed patches, good effects, a third oscillator and a warm fat stereo sound... Now its a major deal! Thanx for this demo! :D

[@JonathanRCross]

Each demo I hear of this synth makes me want one even more. thanks.

[@MarshalArnold]

Many thanks for the preset rundown! This synth is on my short list to pick up this year😀👍

[@Zeal808]

This synth slays. It’s so neat how many options are available!

[@lucasj7577]

The overall tone sounds improved. Great!

[@rocky_racoon_uk1252]

Eventually bought one and got it today, this saves me finding things I like to start with, good range on board already. Next I will watch your tutorial and take notes, then I will unpack it 😀 Thanks for this upload.

[@cesarqzda]

Wow man thank you. You’re the reason many of us are buying these instruments

[@ConwayBob]

Thank you for running the gamut for us. I've pre-ordered mine. It should arrive in late March, so they tell me. Can hardly wait.

[@obwanz1921]

Next purchase! Thanks so much for this! Those little sequences are giving me SO many production ideas 💡! Thanks again!!👍

[@electromigue]

This is even better than going to the store and trying them in some unknown brand of speakers instead of your own.

[@jriceblue]

Indeed, I always bring my own headphones when I go for this reason.

[@William_Earl]

#3 sent chills down my spine Pretty much all of these were pretty inspiring. That's saying a lot for factory presets.

[@Jason75913]

oh yeah

[@ottobyte]

Thanks for a real demo! Rather than hearing the same old marketing stuff.

[@RetroPlus]

16:32 I've been looking for this exact theremin style sound for a very long time, and to my surprise it's a preset for the minilogue xd!

[@a.t.nrecords3048]

I love that it has Sync in and out! this was actually the main reason i haven't bought a minilogue.. veeery tempted to by the xd now..

[@CO5MA]

It sounds soooo cool! Wow! Thank you for sharing this :)))

[@supernatural802]

This thing sounds great! so much character in those sounds.

[@nokjutsu8834]

This sounds like every video game I've ever loved

[@gasmuzika7203]

Just ordered this one ! And one of the reason was your video. Thank you man ! Some presets sounds just like chernobyl ost :)

[@edjwise]

Yes! I hope this product shows Korg that people want analog + digital It is how we will move to the next level of synthesizers.

[@TheFlextec]

Nice to watch your videos. You show us and explain us how machines work. Not about your personal lifestyle. Thank you!!!

[@xXkupsuXx]

this will be mine for sure. sounds so good.

[@lardosian]

Sounds and looks lovely.

[@HansKarlsson1971]

Got myself this wonderful synth last week... Love it...

[@Fictionalbio]

Just bought this. Can’t wait to give it a blast today.

[@Taurex]

16:50 what a beautiful sound! reminds me of a juno...

[@tomc3373]

Thats the reason I bought the synth :P

[@final_mile_music9713]

I picked up a white one today. It’s just perfect. I have a Rev2, SE-02, Omnisphere and Keyscapes plus the Roland cloud and this is my favorite hardware. I can sit by the fire with it on my lap and make the most massive soundscapes in my headphones. It’s so intuitive. Accessible and deep all at the same time. Fantastic.

[@fjfrancois]

The SE-02 is amazing, most of my newest tracks the SE is used the most, of course the VC-340.

[@MortenHjort]

Can you use this in a proper way to control Omnisphere? Also considering the XD and already have Omni and Keyscape (plus other softsynths)

[@anx1]

Ok you got me this sounds awesome also as it looks like less menu diving and getting a track together quick👍

[@blpfrk]

Pre ordered! Thank you for this video!

[@01892739795717823]

6:02 TWIN PEAKS

[@vanyagorkov8438]

Alexander I was about to click off 2 mins in and then I saw that thank you

[@latontolog]

"Logue Lady" - that's pretty great :D

[@nickkwas8028]

thanks hehehe i made it

[@jamesway6071]

Yes and the one at 7:49 definitely sounds like a little like the pads in Laura Palmers theme from Twin Peaks also. The one sampled by Moby in his song Go.

[@zut25]

@@nickkwas8028 Dude, Thank You. This preset alone makes me want to buy the synth!

[@theandroids]

Korg never fail with sounds that you feel in the gut.

[@downpatmusic]

Like that pop sounding glossy filter with just a touch of reverb. A likeable sound. Useable presets to create lots of music for videos.

[@jameycollins725]

I have the original Korg Minilogue which I bought for $400.00 new. I pretty much only like 3 of the preset sounds. However, I am now able to take those 3 preset sounds and tweak them to sound an entirely different sound which I love. I'll keep mine for now. This is however, an amazing sounding synth. Thanks for posting these great and helpful KZbin vids!

[@rhystruesdale547]

5:00 this is the most beautiful sound ive ever heard

[@reiniervannek]

It's the piano melody from Pink Moon by Nick Drake. It's a beautiful song.

[@carlosvallejomusic]

@@reiniervannek It's true!

[@carlosvallejomusic]

With that preset (changing a bit) I did this, lovely preset... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJm1hWuvisarg8U

[@reiniervannek]

@@carlosvallejomusic of course! :)

[@indiefilmcomposer]

5:25 ......thanks for doing this.....i like this for the step sequencer, sequencing chords, automation....instant

[@DJ-LADa97BPMBeatmkr]

The Last 50 Presets are Awesome ! 🙂 Wonderful synth for 80's Movie or Funk/HipHop too

[@ultrasyd]

I don't have this synth (got an original Minilogue), but I've watch this video just sooo much that I know all the sequences by heart :D

[@SIl_Ae]

I've debating HARD over what synth to get next and it's really come down to this vs. the Mother-32 or Bass Station (I was mainly looking for some bass because sometimes my monologue sounds too muddy). But the more I see what the minilogue is capable of, the more I'm enticed to buy it. I mightttt just do it.

[@Deadsouls73]

Holy shit this thing sounds beautiful

[@fantasyproduct1042]

Thank u! It sounds amazing!

[@queencitycutty9082]

Thanks Bro..of all the Namm Videos I've watched your the only one I've seenso far do this...❤

[@Janne19691]

Thanks for your effort, this is really helpful! Most of these sequencer parts were not my cup of tea but there were some really great tones.

[@riojamz2553]

7:49...Moby-Go! Must buy of the year.

[@ulisesrichards]

Love it from the very first sound

[@SampathHebbar]

1:45 Limp bizkit chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavoured water album 'Intro' track .. it was played on Micro Korg.. nice to hear Minilogue XD pull that off with analog circuitry..

[@danwentz]

Loving this synth more and more

[@weicj]

2:31 which made me buy this immediately. This patch shows what it can while other pure analog synth cannot XD

[@lightwork446]

good looks. sounds crazy.

[@curcapsicum]

I love that he let Future Pulse play a bit, my personal favourite preset when i had this hahah.

[@AppliedDefenseConceptsLLC]

Im debating between the Minilogue XD and the Cobalt 8x. I do a lot of melodic stuff for my vocals as a singer and also on a livestream I play on. But I am not a sound designer by skill. Which one would be best for me?

[@XanderEwald]

Cool, thanks!

[@stringsnare]

man these sequences are insane, half complete tracks, geez lol

[@BosleyBeats]

Bless you. Bless your soul my G

[@Gman7953]

Alright, I'm convinced. For some reason every minilogue video failed to convince me about the sounds coming out of this synth, but there are indeed a lot of possibilities there.

[@Pulse2AM]

Sounds like a mini prologue, nice.

[@wolfpackpresets]

Wow, nice sounds!

[@sonic_trek]

Thanks, sounds definitely fuller

[@angeldc54]

Great, thanks for sharing

[@SuperMegaWoofer3000]

CHampion! It sounds great! Thanks!!!

[@kozihoppy]

Beautiful, I have gearlust for this little synth.

[@gjc82071]

Me too!!

[@matthewelder4000]

Nice i am going to be adding this soon i can put it next to my Micro Freak

[@nathanfreise6068]

The factory patches are great as well as the XD releases from Ultimate Patches. Also, RawkPatches makes some really cool vintage patches for the XD that are band specific.

[@mthomas1091]

That ultimate patches vid is the reason I keep hovering this.

[@OLWHartist]

Jesus, I guess this is getting bought asap. Those 200 presets sound golden.

[@dimitribarrow7]

Sounds amazing!

[@Joykeymusic]

Dumb question maybe. I just got one and when I have the cutoff at zero (or the vco's at zero for that matter), there's a buzzing sound whenever I hit a note. I'm sure it's coming from inside the machine because it does it when I have my headphones plugged into it too. Is this regular synth behavior or do I have a lemon? It makes recording intro's using a cutoff filter lead-in very gross sounding...

[@cockur]

Nice. A wee wiggle of that neat looking joystick now and again wouldn't have gone astray. Hope you get hold of one for a more thorough review in the near future. And every patch has a unique sequence? That's pretty cool

[@loopop]

Yeah joystick wiggle would lead to filter sweep and who knows where from there... definitely want to review it when these become available

[@cockur]

@@loopop haha I hear ya

[@jackcimino8822]

Why does the Minilogue XD sound multitimbral at 4:06?

[@thestatpow5]

Rainchild is my favorite, sometimes I just fire up my Mini xd just to listen to the presets

[@russianvoodoo]

5:16 that siny thing is beautiful.

[@gjc82071]

It really is!!!

[@samvimes1083]

Little bit of a BoC vibe there. Really nice.

[@hedegaard8]

russianvoodoo Biosphere - from either Patashnik or Microgravity

[@JoseFernandes-bp6rc]

Thank you! Yours is my favorite gear channel on KZbin! ;-)

[@loopop]

Thanks very much!

[@loopop]

Thanks very much!

[@cutseencinematics]

sounds like the perfect mix of old and new - great little synth if the retail price stays nice and LOW!

[@adrianfundescu5407]

First sound and you already know it's a real deal.

[@vgmandstuff1381]

thank you for that! I guess I'll have to get one now

[@Brendan-Black]

*drool* I gotta have it. I'm selling my original Minilogue 'cause this thing sounds so much better. Those onboard reverbs are incredibly lush!

[@jaspergray803]

3:07 is amazing!

[@vitsamutsu]

I am very tempted to get one of these as an addition to my set up but the keys look tiny... and I fear the adjustment on the fly might be a bit weird...

[@haraldlindohf4032]

Some of these give me yiik vibes love it!

[@nolanvernon6667]

Woah these are good presets

[@JakobZimmermannMusic]

Hey YOU! You've been looking for that typical ANOMALIE synth-sound for years, right? now you finally gonna find it THERE ----> 03:53!!!

[@lucyf6516]

Wait what song did Anomalie use that sound in? I’m a huge fan but I don’t recognize it.

[@RundFyrkant]

While some prefers redesigns from the past this one is the future. Some really nice automation features and it sounds really amazing this one.

[@Brendan-Black]

Agree!

[@X-101]

Did you find not having a sustain or release for the filter envelope an issue?

[@lawr.h]

For some reason a few of these remind me a bit of a Roland D-50... Maybe because some of the digital oscillators sound a bit like samples?

[@jackcimino8822]

Also, the effects!

[@AABattery]

Wow some of these presets are half complete tracks. Add some drums and a bassline and you're good to go. I'll get this. Thanks for showcasing!

[@keysthomas1966]

shhhh... thats between me and u these things are freakin gorgeous... AND FUNKY

[@funktorsound]

What's the sequence at 0:34? Has it been used in a song? Sounds so familiar

[@panicraptor2837]

Such a throaty character i think its one of the synths you can instantly recognize

[@jc3drums916]

6:03 - patch 045 - Logue Lady - I see what you did there, Korg!

[@env4n3]

my logue has a message for you

[@lukec1471]

5:44 sounds like wii music

[@TheSunlight74]

Would this fit on the spare space at the right-hand side of a Nord Electro 3 73?

[@rockhead11]

19:15. The Flintstones meet EDM😃 BTW. Excellent video. Thank you

[@synriser6742]

love it! It's like a Polyphonic Monologue with a lots more features. Warm, clean and with an extra oscillator. Good job Korg! Affordable synth.

[@venomslair137]

In fact, is a powered up Minilogue.

[@frunkfrankly]

I'd say it's a souped-down prologue!

[@jc3drums916]

If it had the Monologue's sequencer, I'd upgrade in an instant. As it is, it's still tempting, but ATM I'm more interested in Eurorack.

[@EddieKMusic]

Please guys, anybody know song at 3:30? I cant be just imagining things, I must have heard it somewhere

[@Ardspans]

Great stuff, this video keeps me satisfied until my own xd arrives in the post soon. Thank you again Mr.Loopop !
