@@aboutbeno Well,.... from now on is to have people ask me what my goal is on every video I make.

[@philipsheard624]

Sure thing x

[@audioartisan]

This is the most thorough minilogue xd video on KZbin. Love this synth so much I have 2 (module & key's). Your work is highly appreciated ...Awesome walkthrough!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks !!1 WOW 2 ?...Well, they are good so why not hahah. Yeah., it is a great great synth.

[@SomeOne-pd6vm]

I've considered this myself. How do you find the polychaining? For me it would be super cool to have a 16 oscillator monosynth in "unison" mode.... mental

[@aako-dd1ly]

But I saw this exact comment on the last minilogue xd video I watched. So one of you is lying. Who is it

[@Laughing_Dove]

Dude. your content is legendary, never saw something like it. I maybe commented on youtube 3 times in my life, your content is top notch, much appreciated

[@meilstone]

This course already teaches you more useful details in the first few minutes than any of the average minilogue tutorials out there...

[@BoWeeMusic]

The fact that you did this video in such detail and comprehensively, deserved more than my subscription. Thank you so much!

[@kurtgrech77]

This was by far the most comprehensive deep dive of Minilogue XD on the whole world wide web. Cannot wait for the Step Sequencer step. Well done, excellent work and thanks a million!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks !!! Glad you liked it. That was the plan, make the best on the web. Or at lest try. Thanks for the comment.

[@johnsterthemonster9181]

This video just taught me a trick with the LFO. The fact that every key doesn't need to be in step with the other keys and can feel more scattered is very cool.

[@harristhehub]

Wow. This tutorial was so in-depth and so wildly informative. I just bought the synth a few days ago and I had no clue about lots of the features that you've mentioned. Each time you said "looks like we don't have this here, but look we actually do!" blew my mind. To be honest this took me a few days to watch haha. I'm so excited to get to play with mine, and thank you so much for making this visual manual!!!!! On to the next video.

[@thrumyeyesphoto]

Seriously impressive amount of content! I've had the synth for 6 months, but feel like I've only scratched the surface! Thanks for the great video

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Yeah, it's a great tool. It has a lot more of what you can see in the main panel. Thanks for the comment.

[@LemureDeiCampiElisi]

The work you are doing is such a huge effort that I couldn't avoid to buy you a coffee! Thanks mate, your videos are very appreciated.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Yeah I just saw it !!! Thank you a LOT, It really really helps to keep going. Today is not such a great day, I am recovering from something, when you have kids they bring home whatever pest they could find at school, so your generosity makes my day better sir. Thank you for the help :)

[@BusyLizzy575]

i’ve had this synth for a while and used it and enjoyed it but i always wanted to actually ‘understand’ what was happening. I’m like 25 mins in and have already learnt things. This video is clarifying what i know and providing an explanation so i hope to develop better control of the synth. And indeed other synths should i get any. So thanks so much. I wish i could get you a drink to say thanks- oh wait i see that is indeed possible so i will do. cheers . Best wishes to you and yours

[@tomiisan8g155]

My Minilogue XD comes in less than 24 hours, and this is the video I'll come back to once it is out of the box and ready to go!

[@bcj842]

This is such an outrageously capable synthesizer for its price. Just when you think you’ve looked at everything, you go and load effects packs and multi-engine mods and you start all over again. Perfect for someone like me who wants a lot of synthesizers but is working in a confined space.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Yes, it's a very capable synth. Said it at the beginning, there is a reason why this is one of the best selling synths of the what, 5 year now ? It's great. I wish it had 6 voices, but for the price, you cannot really complain.

[@soundsoflakeville8422]

Thank you so much for your tutorial, which for me has a "aha!" in every chapter, as you explain, what`s the logic behind the scene. Essential! Enjoy your coffee! :-)

[@Dongerino.]

Thank you for this massive Tutorial and at the perfect time, too. I just bought this Synth a few days ago because i wanted to learn playing with them, i bought this after a 10 minute consultation in a shop and went for the XD instead of the normal minilogue because it was black instead of silver and i wanted that joystick thingy. I guess i hit the perfect machine on a whim.

[@thibaultk]

One of the best and most detailed walkthrough videos I can remember seeing about any topic whatsoever. Taught me a ton about a synth I realized I'd only scratched the surface of!

[@ecaudiolab]

This is excellent! There isn't a better walk-through on KZbin! Thank you ...Subscribed.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks !!! That was my goal, to make the best or to be in the top 5 let's say.

[@wiseoldfool]

A great tutorial, not only on the Minilogue XD, but also on synthesis in general. I've subscribed, and I'm looking forward watching the next part. Oh, and I just ordered a Minilogue XD module!

[@Just_lift_anyone]

Just listening to this on my way home from work and I've already learned a lot 😀

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks for the comment !!! I can't stand my voice haha, but I believe that is normal.

[@Just_lift_anyone]

Seriously been waiting for this, excellent!!

[@hubbysland]

What a great 2 videos about Minilogue XD . Thanks a lot.

[@nyfelix]

Great tutorial, this was very helpful! I just got a minilogue XD and it's my first hardware synth, after this tutorial I'm ready to start experimenting 🙂

[@doelman]

Excellent tutorial, thank you! Discovered some features I didn't know about.. Just one thing I missed which might be useful to know for others: the "star"-symbol you mentioned in the effects section represents the value of a knob that's stored in the program / patch you've selected. Of course not applicable when you're on an init patch.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks for the comment. Damn, this thing is still giving me thing to learn. One of the best Korg in history if you ask me. After the Arp and the MS20, of course.

[@DavidGohlke12]

thank you so much for this brief and interesting explanation of the synth, this helped me a lot to dive in a short time!

[@got9880]

Incredible amount of work ! A million thanks for all of the teaching, this is a must watch video for any possessor of this synth !

[@hihiepshihi2964]

Thank you so much for this! Great explanation!

[@ricflomusic]

very extensive but useful, thank you!

[@particle-dots]

thank you for doing these videos - you have covered, in depth, a lot of the synths i own - crave, neutron, td3, K2, this...i am sure there will be more ....THANK YOU

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks for the comment !!!

[@shaunlatta1]

This is the most underrated video on KZbin you should get paid so much for this seriously this information was amazing!

[@petitcanadien]

That was an amazing tutorial !! Thanks a lot :)

[@neuskabilly29]

Merci de France pour ce tuto de la mort tout y est avec ça il y a de quoi bien comprendre le xd merci à toi pour cette énorme effort

[@Kamala__Harriis]

Very well done. You managed to make it understandable,l even to me: this is my first synth and I don't even speak english very well. Bravo 👏🏻

[@reddbaron82]

Appreciate you! Thanks for the in-depth

[@XNBeatsMusic]

My pleasure!

[@thearno2885]

brilliant, thank you. such a great synth , just got mine!

[@Synthwaver1]

Me compré un Minilogue XD y como era de esperarse @XNBeatsMusic tiene el mejor tutorial, se nota el esmero para hacerlo claro y preciso...

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Felicitaciones por el nuevo integrante de la familia. Un placer ayudar a un paisano.

[@marktwomey5083]

Best XD manual out there 👍

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks for the comment !! That was the goal, try to make the most complete guide out there.

[@ett5621]

Tremendo tutorial! Excelente. Muchas gracias

[@XNBeatsMusic]

gracias a usted señor o señora.

[@Lo-fi_Hi-brow]

Thank you for the thorough walk-thru! Well done👍. One thing I don't understand: If you select a preset and select "Load Panel" and all the knobs & FX change to reflect their current, actual positions....how is anything really being saved?? If I come back the next day and load it, the only way it'll sound like what I saved is if I don't touch anything-just like a traditional analog synth. If I, instead, choose not to "Load Panel," then each knob I tweak will abruptly change the sound until I've gone through and turned each knob to reflect the intended saved patch-just like a traditional analog synth. So, the only way I'm really saving anything is if I never touch anything?

[@jade802]

Amazing ! Loved it, thank you !

[@AmpDecay]

I learned so much cool things in this

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks mate. I'll try to keep it up.

[@AmpDecay]

@@XNBeatsMusic I've had my minilogue xd for about a year now and thanks to this I understand so much more on osc 3 :D cheers!!!

[@kingjim]

Amazing deep dive, thank you so much for pulling together this and the sequencer video, I learnt so much. One thing, is it me or was the portamento knob not mentioned? Not that I can't look it up elsewhere, was just really curious to hear your thoughts on it too 😁

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks for the comment, glad to know the video was useful. Well, I make long videos and try to cover a lot of ground. Sometimes I forget things, shxx happens :) . But there is no fixing the upload on youtube, once is recorded, there is no going back.

[@kingjim]

@@XNBeatsMusic ah of course I totally understand! Do you have any advice on effective ways of using the portamento modulation? Perhaps what it works especially well with? (Sorry I'm a total n00b and learning about synths for the first time 😅)

[@richardgunsenhouser4443]

Great video. Any chance of a moog sub 37 in the future? Thatd be amazing 💯

[@XNBeatsMusic]

I would love to, but I don't live on a mainstream country. So getting MOOG gear is like finding the magical beans :S

[@OldPsytrance]

Thanks man for this

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Well thank you for the comment.

[@ChrisTopheRaz]

You know it’s interesting because I had a mini Logee XT and I loved that joystick. I’m actually considering purchasing a pro log 16 and that’s the one thing that I don’t know if I can go without is a joystick like the minilog had. Especially with the filter cut off. I wonder if the prologue has the ability to reassign the mod and pitch wheels

[@astrarivm]

Ufff, thank you so much!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks !!!!

[@juppcolt]

1000 thanks...👍

[@Robertpazmusic]

Hello, excellent, I am trying to control the minilogue xd module from an external sequencer to play several sounds with different patterns at the same time but I can't, the minilogue xd only allows me to play one sound, how can I achieve this? thanks greetings

[@thebrocode9423]

Awesome Video!!!!

[@mauromantovani5937]

Wait, there is no latch function with arpeggiator off? That is very annoying. Awesome video anyway

[@Niksa011]

How to change program without changing sequence? is it possible

[@lithiumserpentine6672]

Hi quick question, does the EG INT knob have a different feel than the rest of the knobs?

[@DespairQuietlyPlease]

Hi is there a scale cheat mode whereby you can set consecutive keys on the keyboard to snap to a given scale...? so cheating basically.

[@MusicThroughMyVeins]

wow❤‍🔥

[@horusmusic738]

does anyone else have problems with their cutoff filter not working as shown in the video? i have it set on jump, if i turn it all the way to the right it shifts automatically to 1000 something, from there if i turn it to the left it immediately goes down to practically 0 and barely any sound goes through, i play with the panel mode on and make my sounds from init programs, the firmware is updated to the latest version so i dont understand why it behaves this way, could it be that the knob is faulty? would i be able to fix it? i appreciate any help in advance

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Well, that is weird. It could be, I would try a reset to factory. ( back up your patches first ), if the problem persists, they contact KORG. They will tell you. If the problem is the POT, well then cool because is an easy part to replace, it's just a pot. But, you will need to contact KORG, and wait for their response. It will, take a while. Sorry I couldn't help more.

[@horusmusic738]

@@XNBeatsMusic thanks i appreciate it, didnt expect a reply from you since its somewhat of an old video 😅, so i reset it and the problem persists, ill try to contact korg to see what they can do for my little precious, cool video man learned a lot from it and again appreciate the help ill try to do a follow up here if anyone runs into this issue again… peace & love✌🏼

[@XNBeatsMusic]

@@horusmusic738 Alright, lets see what they say. If it's the pot is very replaceable. Good luck, and hope is nothing and thanks for the comment :)

[@vitorhugoRH]

why do I have the urge to buy this synth when I don't even know how to play keys?

[@saorcid5326]

Bloody hell how much gear do you have 🤣🤣

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Haha, not a lot as some people do. But I've got a few more synths...so far, it missing an MS20, OPSIX, Wavestate, Arp odyssey, TD-3, ASM and a couple Roland boutiques..

[@jedilicious7025]

This is absolutely amazing content. I have seen many many synth tutorials the last couple of years, and this one truly stands out for me. Although I am somewhat familiar with basic subtractive as well as FM synthesis, this is a gold mine for people new to those concepts. I just received my minilogue 3 days ago, so this in depth ‘behind the scenes’ view was just what I needed. It is still baffling for me that this synth is so cheap. An analog poly, with FM capabilities, the ability to use custom osc, a sequencer and amazing effects for 600 euros is a steal. I got mine second hand for 400, so i feel like I actually earned money 😂 Only thing I would have liked was more LFOs, but luckily, my Octatrack can fix that :-) Looking forward to the sequencer video!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Yeah, It's a great synth and affordable too. That is why is one of the best selling synth in the world....there is no other way around it. And yea at the back you can expand the LFO'S with external gear, that fixes the LFO issue, which my only complaint about the synth. But well it is affordable, so I cannot really complain. Thanks for the comment.

[@camerartus]

Thanks!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Dang !! No thank you sir for your contribution !!! It really helps to keep videos going and coffee flowing. Thank you :)

[@ricflomusic]

only 36mins in and learnt so much! Looking forward to watching the rest tomorrow. Thank you!

[@visolnchev]

I have the same synthesizer and I know it pretty well, but I learned a few new features from you. Looking forward to the next sequencer video. I didn't manage to make friends with the minilogue sequencer.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks for the comment !!! It the sequencer comes out on Friday...same style, deep dive ad I've added a couple more things.

[@scrundy3369]

What a great, thorough video. I learned so much. Thank you very very much! You're a great teacher, super clear explanations and very well presented. I feel like neo learning kung fu after watching this video. Thanks again!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

hahaha, thanks men. You can say "I know Minilogue XD" :)

[@patrickanthofer]

Thank you!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

wow thanks man. Today's coffee is brought by you :).... and I am finishing a Microfreak guide and an XD Patch series, I really need that coffee. Cheers Patrick !!!

[@old_romans]

I love my XD but I do wish a few things were different. A numbered section to dial up the patches would have been MUCH better than scrolling on a knob. I also hate that it doesn't start up where you left off, so I really have to remember to include the patch number into the track title of the DAW. Also the Power button must be pressed on every single time, rather than having a switch that stays on and I can turn it on from my power conditioner. The USB Midi function no longer exists through my PC because KORG can't be bothered to update them.

[@hameaxiestrainersschool6617]

Amazing video. Thanks alot !

[@visolnchev]

Thank you so much I really appreciate your work

[@dimtech]

I have a problem, when I create a sequence of short notes in a row and I have the EG int activated to the maximum, sometimes it makes random variations in the EG

[@MyWorstEnemyIsMyself]

Subscribed to your channel, this material was really needed, thank you very much!

Thanks !! I hope people like this so I can keep covering KORG synths and make more Minilogue XD content. Thanks for the comment.

@@XNBeatsMusic Honestly i would love to see more in depth Minilogue xd content, count me in!

[@Tycho2501]

The last two and a half hours of my life has been a long sequence of 'oh yeah, I forgot it did that' and 'wait, it does that?' Great guide, thanks

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks !! Yeah, the minilogue shows you a simple face but it can do a lot more when you deep dive.

[@martinmartian7908]

Hey, thanks for an awesome tutorial! I have a question, do you know, if you can record motions without playing the sequencer, per step?

[@martinmartian7908]

oh yeah, you can. I learned it from your other tutorial :)

[@kevindcruzmusic]

Great review, best on KZbin. Thank you, I have learned so much.

[@ogonek]

Great video!

[@gu3564]

Great video, Thanks!!! Does anyone know if it is possible to change the midi assignment for modulation? ie. I am using a midi controller to send midi into the xd. the modwheel on my midi controller is sending midi data to the minilogue xd, but it does not affect the modulation.
