The Korg minilogue is a versatile four-voice analogue synthesizer that stands out thanks to its modern design, intuitive operation and high-quality sound-shaping capabilities. With its completely newly developed analogue circuitry, the minilogue delivers a rich, warm sound that immediately invites creative experimentation. The two VCOs, VCF, LFO and dual envelope generators together provide a powerful sonic palette that effortlessly shifts between soft pads, sharp leads and organic bass lines.

Operation and Overview

One of the greatest strengths of the minilogue is its user-friendly interface. The 37 keys, clear knob layout and bright OLED display with oscilloscope make the synth accessible for beginners while remaining fully suitable for experienced sound designers. The real-time waveform visualisation helps you understand how each parameter affects your sound, enabling you to create your own patches more quickly and with greater focus.

In addition, the minilogue features an extensive 16-step polyphonic sequencer with motion sequencing, allowing you to capture movement and modulation within your sounds. This makes the synth ideal for electronic music, repetitive grooves and evolving soundscapes. The eight voice modes offer extra flexibility: from polyphonic to unison, from arpeggios to chords, and even a special delay mode in which voices follow each other in time.

Build Quality

Build quality is another strong point. The aluminium front panel, solid chassis-mounted knobs and real wooden rear panel give the minilogue a professional appearance and the reliability needed for both studio and live performance. Thanks to its MIDI and USB connectivity and Audio Sync inputs, the instrument integrates easily with DAWs, other synthesisers and Korg’s own volca, electribe and SQ-1 products.

Storage and Presets

With 200 memory slots (100 presets and 100 user locations), the minilogue offers plenty of room for all your sounds and ideas. The included Sound Librarian software makes managing and organising your patches simple and intuitive.

The Korg minilogue is therefore an excellent choice for anyone seeking an affordable yet powerful analogue synthesizer with modern functionality, high-quality construction and an inspiring workflow.
