Korg minilogue xd

CurrentReleased 2019

Four-voice analogue polysynth with a digital multi engine bolted on, so two analogue VCOs per voice can be joined by noise, VPM or user-loaded oscillators. The logue SDK lets you add third-party oscillators and effects, and a 16-step sequencer with motion lanes is built in. A compact first polysynth that still rewards deeper programming.
