TWO for Minilogue XD

Published on Aug 3, 2019 Tim Shoebridge

"TWO for Minilogue XD is a User Oscillator for uploading to a Korg Minilogue XD synthesiser. At its heart is an algorithm which allows the creation of new complex waveforms from two separate base wave shapes. There are sixteen possible waveform combinations in total.

The second of the two base wave shapes can be phase modulated using the Monilogue XD's shape control, which itself can be controlled from the synth's LFO as well as by an envelope generator built into the User Oscillator This EG has various modes allowing it to be looped as well as have its rate controlled by the XD's LFO.

TWO for Minilogue XD generates sound from three detunable digital oscillators. It is available for purchase at my SoundMangling store here:

This video also gives you a glimpse of Abstrakt Instruments' workplace - and some of the music they listen to. :)

"Manufacturer recommended procedure for Avalon synth chiropractic adjustment. A bit tongue and cheek but this is how it's done.
The units are tested for flatness as part of QA before shipping but every now & then we get a support inquiry regarding an Avalon synth that is not sitting flat."

From Reel to Web - July 29-31 Part 3 - Vintage Moog Modular on Texas TV WFAA

Published on Jul 31, 2019 SMU Jones Film

This one spotted and sent in via John L Rice: "Starts at 4:10. No sound until about 4:40. There is other political and traffic accident coverage before and after the Moog section. Moog content ends about 8:25. Keep in mind that sound is often poor quality and cuts in and out."

If anyone knows who that is in the video, feel free to comment.

Update: “That's Merrill Ellis. He's one of the first Moog customers (2 systems and later add-on's) as well as one of the first to take them out live. Pretty important guy from NTSU in Denton TX.”
