"The long-awaited desktop module of KORG’s next-generation analog synthesizer

minilogue xd module is the new desktop module version of minilogue xd, the four-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer with a customizable digital multi-engine and built-in stereo digital effects.

The desktop module is equipped with the same controllers as the keyboard version, making it a great choice not only as an additional sound module for your keyboard or DAW but also providing excellent performability, giving you an easy way to include an analog polyphonic synth in your setup. It's also equipped with a poly-chain function that lets you connect it with another minilogue xd or minilogue xd module so that the two units can operate as a polysynth with a total of up to eight voices in your studio or on stage.

Add the sounds of the minilogue xd to your setup or system!

Equipped with an analog synthesizer circuit and a digital multi-engine

Voice structure of minilogue xd is 2VCO + MULTI ENGINE, 1VCF, 2EG, 1VCA, and 1LFO. In addition to the distinctive circuits found in the series, such as wave shaping to shape the overtones of the oscillator and a sync/ring switch, there's also cross modulation, a two-pole filter that can be both sharp and fat, and a drive switch that adds thickness and drives signal into minilogue xd’s filter. Every parameter has been tuned in detail based on what musicians want out of their synth. The sounds range from the warm pads typical of analog to fat basses and crisp lead sounds, covering every situation.

The additional sound design possibilities of digital sound are delivered by the multi-engine: the third oscillator in addition to the two analog VCOs. This engine, which is equipped with three different types of sound generator (noise, VPM, and open-source user oscillators) lets you take advantage of a sonic character that's different than analog, and use it at the same time as the analog engine, infinitely expanding xd module’s potential through hybrid sound design.

High-quality digital effects

minilogue xd’s high-quality digital effects use 32-bit floating point DSP processing, adding a finishing touch to its deep sound design platform. The three types (modulation effects, reverb, and delay) can be used simultaneously, letting you choose from a wide range of variations including chorus, ensemble, warm tape delay, and a diverse variety of reverb. The user effect slots allow you to load your own effect programs that you've created.

User customization brings out infinite potential

Korg Minilogue XD Module

Published on May 10, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"The Korg Minilogue XD Module has all of the same synthesis and effects features of the minilogue XD but saves some space on your desk if you don't need the keyboard. It can also polychain with other Minilogue XDs to add extra voices of polyphony. The sequencer buttons can be used as a keyboard for the XD Module so you don't need to plug in an external keyboard to play it.

2 x KORG minilogue xd module - 8-voice polyphony in poly chain mode!

Published on May 19, 2019 iamtheswordmaster1

"I had a chance to get my hands on two minilogue xd modules, so I figured, you guys might want to hear some 8-voice polyphonic stuff using the new poly chain mode of the xd line.

In this setup, the minilogue xd module on the right is the MASTER while the unit on the left is the SLAVE. I'm using the KRONOS to send MIDI notes to the MASTER module (a bit of an overkill, since any MIDI keyboard could do this job).

I was literally blown away of the huge sound with 8 voices, so I couldn't resist to create some custom patches for your listening pleasure. ;)

Everything you hear is the two minilogue xd(s). The effects on this machines sound amazing and really great for sound design. A couple of patches use some custom oscillators as well."

MINILOGUE xd MODULE 8 voice poly chain is amazing!!

Published on May 9, 2019 BoBeats

"My first look at the Minilogue xd Module and poly chain mode. It worked flawlessly."

Someone needs to make a sturdy case/stand so you can place the module at angle on the Minilogue XD. Add the ability adjust the angle and you'd have quite the self contained 8 voice XD. Also add a mode to only recognize the keyboard and joystick so you can layer different patches and tweak them as you play.

Bent by Sinevibes - Korg multi engine plugin

Published on Feb 20, 2019 Sinevibes

"Bent is an oscillator plugin for Korg’s multi engine. It implements a novel synthesis method called 'bent-wave frequency modulation', developed by Sinevibes." Priced at $29.

via Sinevibes

Bent is an oscillator plugin for Korg’s multi engine. It implements a novel synthesis method called “bent-wave frequency modulation”, developed by Sinevibes. Bent combines a classic modulator-carrier pair of sine oscillators with a unique “bender” module which changes the modulator signal’s curvature, phase, and time symmetry. Despite the “FM” part, bent-wave FM produces sounds more akin to a mix of two synchronized and filtered analog oscillators – with smooth, elastic waveform morphing. Due to its specific density and rounded curvature, Bent also forms a perfect symbiosis with Korg’s resonant low-pass filter, creating sounds with incredible plasticity.


SPECIFICATIONS

Two sine oscillators with unique module that “bends” curvature, phase, and time symmetry before the frequency modulation stage.
Five different output waveforms with variable shape and harmonic balance.
Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment and modulation.
Built-in LFO with widely adjustable frequency (0.1 to 10 Hz).
Built-in envelope generator with widely adjustable attack and decay times (1 ms to 10 s).

NAMM 2019: Korg Volca Modular and Minilogue XD [Episode 108]

Published on Jan 24, 2019 CatSynth TV

"We check out two of Korg's new synthesizer offerings at NAMM 2019: the Volca Modular and the Korg Minilogue.

'The volca modular is a semi-modular synthesizer consisting of independent analog synth modules, digital effects, and a sequencer. Each of the modules has been carefully selected for its stand-alone completeness. The modules are internally connected so that sound can be produced even before connecting the included pin cables, and the routing is shown by white lines on the panel. Module connections via a pin cable take priority over the internal connections, bypassing them.'

'In addition to emphasizing the same real analog sound and joy of controlling an electronic musical instrument offered by the original minilogue, the minilogue xd newly adds a digital multi-engine, effects, a powered-up sequencer, and micro tuning functionality, further expanding the possibilities for sound design and performance potential.

"An analog synth composed of modules

Eight modules

The volca modular is a semi-modular synthesizer consisting of independent analog synth modules, digital effects, and a sequencer. Each of the modules has been carefully selected for its stand-alone completeness. The modules are internally connected so that sound can be produced even before connecting the included pin cables, and the routing is shown by white lines on the panel. Module connections via a pin cable take priority over the internal connections, bypassing them.

SOURCE：

This consists of a triangle VCO carrier and a modulator. The complex overtones generated by FM modulation are sent through a wave folder circuit to add additional overtones, producing a distinctive sound. This module is important in determining the basic character of the sound of volca modular.
