The Korg Minilogue is a SUPER fun & intuitive analog synth for everyone from beginners to seasoned synthesits. I've been programming synths for 20 years and this was just as fun as the first synth I ever used. Its analog sound is wonderful and thick. Almost everything has a knob or switch for control and, for the patches I was making, I never went into the menus for further editing beyond naming patches and setting sequencer settings. The shape control of the oscillators gives a lot of variation to your standard waveforms and the sync/ring-mod, cross modulation, & pitch envelope of oscillator two really open up the sonic possibilities. I very much enjoy the dedicated switch for velocity modulation of the filter cutoff and I like that there are only two modulation depths beyond none. My favorite feature of the Minilogue is the envelope modulation of either the rate or the intensity of the LFO. This really gives a sense of motion to what is already a sense of motion from the LFO. My only complaint is that the LFO doesn't go fast enough for analog-FM style tones. It's not nearly as fast as the LFO on the Monologue but that's more of an observation that a full drawback. I really enjoyed the different voice modes of this synth, really finding mono, which introduces a variable level sub, and chord, which creates various fixed chords, to be the most useful beyond the standard poly mode. This is by far the best poly synth I have ever found for someone who is interested in learning analog synthesis. The knobs and switches along with the actual layout of them makes programming make sense and a joy to use. The Minilogue does have mini-keys but the mini keys Korg has been using for their new synths are really great. Much better than the microKORG. With the Minilogue, Korg really show us that there will always be room for one more analog synth.Read full review

This is a great product! Excellent sounds. The slim keyboard is just perfect for synth sounds. I would rather call it a "mid" size as compared to a "micro" (e.g. Korg Microkorg) and "full" size keyboard. The controls are great and easy to access. Easy to create new synth programs. Kudos to Korg.

great desktop synth! easy to use and creates amazing sounds. polyphonic but has mono modes and many others. Great controller keyboard. Great for intro to analog synthesis.

It’s got it all! the sequencer is on point and easy to use the synth engine is incredible richest sounding synth I own and I have a good hand full I definitely recommend Hooking this up with the sq1 and some other volca products It’s endless creativity! I get lost in this synth every time I jump on it

Very fun to play, the knobs kinda confusing and frustrating if you’re a noob like me haha. But i’m sure with time and practice it’ll get easier.
