Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Korg Minilogue. Is this analog polyphonic synthesizer a dream come true for beginners and professionals alike? Is it as good as the new black and red Minilogue Bass? Does it actually sound good?
Thanks to Klangfarbe for letting me use a Minilogue from their shop floor of James Bond "The Living Daylights" fame:

Oh man. I got a Minilogue in 2016 as a broke college freshman after selling my microKORG and scraping enough cash by basically not eating for an extended period, and we've been through a lot together since, hundreds of performances and countless weird jams with weird people, and the worst years of my life. At one point, someone stole the power supply and I couldn't afford a new official one. But I did have a correctly-spec'd spare that just didn't have the right plug, so I sodered it in. The pitch slider sticks because I spent a summer playing a few times at a beach venue and sand got in the synth off the wind. I think a spider was living in it at one point. I've filled every patch, and they're all named "init Program" or a variation with one or two differed characters since I couldn't be bothered to twist the knob to name each patch - but I know what all of them do based on their number. I never sold the thing despite going through some leaaaaaan times. But now that I have had a good job for a bit and am financially secure enough to start building a collection of gear, it's awesome to see my setup grow around it. 10/10 synth in my books. I hope it outlives me

I loved the original Minilogue, it was my first hardware analog synth. The delay was actually one of my favorite features, the self-noise of the circuitry was enough to get it to feedback even without an input signal, and you could make very cool noisy textures utilizing that. The filter lacking bass was the only real "flaw" of it in my eyes, it still sounded spectacular. In comparison to the XD version the LFO also had a few more routing options, such as being able to use the Filter EG to modulate the LFO rate and intensity, and the Filter EG had full ADSR compared to the AD envelope on the XD. That being said, XD did revamp and upgrade a lot of other stuff, so I'm not exactly too devastated by that trade-off. Both versions have a special place in my heart.

Very fair assessment of what is no doubt going to be a bit of classic. I agree it is a bit of an acquired taste but I love it. Have had one since it came out in 2016 and I still use it almost every day, and still discover new things I can do with it. Once you intimately know this synth, it is actually surprisingly quick and easy to dial in a vast array of lovely sounds. Perhaps the analogue delay is a bit primitive, but when you start motion controlling that time knob...

I love the OG minilogue. What you see is what you get. I just wish it had an analog chorus instead of the analog delay. The synth sounds really nice when the VCO's are slightly detuned with a slow LFO to the pitch. I think some people don't like it because of the presets, but as with most analog synths the trick is to make your own patches! Love the channel!

Wow finally a synth that I own showed up on bad gear! The Minilogue was actually my first synth that I bought, so I didn't really have any preconceived notions of what to expect from a synth and I got a lot of fun out of messing around with it. Despite that, I did find the sound to be kind of noisy sounding, but I think that can give it a lo-fi kind of character. I do kind of regret buying it though, because now I feel like I cant buy a Minilogue XD since I already have a Minilogue. I suggest you do an episode on the Sequential Prophet Rev2. It's a multi-timbral "analogue" synth with DCOs that is based off of the Prophet '08. I think it's a very capable synth and I've heard it do some crazy things, but, just like the Minilogue, it has some weird quirks and the sweet spots are, at times, narrow. Because of that, I've seen a decent amount of complaints about it (DCOs don't sound good, Curtis filter reduces the low end and sounds bad, envelopes are clicky, etc.). I think it'd be a good fit for Bad Gear.

Wow, placing your own hands on the envelope section? What hardship. Plus you may accidentally learn more about synthesis and develop a more tactile relationship with your device. No way dude, that sucks 🤣 I wonder how the people who pioneered electronic music back in the day coped with instruments prone to malfunction constantly/affected by temperature? Instruments which couldn't talk to each other easily? Monophonic sequencers with a max memory of 99 notes? Samplers with less than 2 seconds memory? They worked around these minor inconveniences and created amazing music which will live on for years after they die. The Minilogue is a pretty powerful machine and the comprehensive MIDI CC specs paired up with an Elektron sequencer is a fierce setup. More options than a lot of modular systems and less cables. In these days of excellent consumer choice I guess the minilogue doesn't seem that impressive, but compared to what was on offer in the late 90s when I first started out doing music, a 4 x 2osc VCO analogue with a good filter, 2 envelopes, noise, a delay, a really good LFO etc for £500 was the sort of thing I used to dream about. I bought a Juno 6 for £400 in 1996 which was a bargain even for the time. But it had no cv/gate in, never mind MIDI. It was also prone to stop working at random times. I opened it up to try and tune the oscillator with a Phillips screwdriver and underneath the panel was about 15 years worth of pubic hair, tobacco, hash oils, dust and a few dead insects. So when the Minilogue was announced I was excited to finally be able to buy a new poly for less than a grand, and yeah it has its limitations but that's kinda half the whole reason why people used to be able to coax such interesting sounds out of analogue synths- they weren't dependent on presets, they made their own.

Great episod! Been waiting now for a while to see my first hardware synth being put to your tests. Personaly I still enjoy using my minilogoue but I got my moog for bass so the minilogoue got pushed to more of a fill/lead roles. It takes getting used to but it gets easier to get to what you want to hear the longer you use it and learn its submenues. With a bit of treatment and some fx it can really shine in your mix.

I like how you didn't go through the obvious weaknesses like the limited polyphony and rather focused on its strengths and the actual sound. I have the XD and it will always be my favorite piece of gear.

The minilogue (and Korg in general in the 2010s) pioneered the democratization of analog synths and triggered a new golden age for them. It is (at least partially) responsible for the subsequent proliferation of gear available at an accessible price point and has even proven that there is a wide target market for higher-end stuff. Probably the only truly annoying thing about it is its return-to-zero envelope behavior when voices with a slow attack get stolen (you can get run out of 4 pretty quickly).

Amazing episode! I would love to see one with JV-1080, it is an amazingly capable synthesizer module, but since it is known only for overused presets it gets a bad reputation. Al least it seem to me that way.

You know you really love a synth when its shortcomings no longer even bother you. In the case of the Minilogue there are plenty - narrowest filter sweetspot I ever encountered, resonance thins out the sound more than any other, very short release time of the amp envelope, max delay time is also extremely short. Seemed very underwhelming to me at first but then all these things got me to focus on all the other aspects that this thing has to offer, mainly the super flexible and rich sounding oscillators, voice modes, (motion -) sequencing... absolutely amazing! What a great and truly unique synth! Love it!❤

Also, now that they're discontinued, you should try the Prologue and Opsix, they've both got their fair share of features and flaws.

Yep, I'll never understand why the Opsix doesn't have DX7 envelopes - actually, I can't understand why we still suffer ADSR envelopes on _any_ synth that has digital envelopes.

@@SynGirl32 I wonder how many people were like me. I didn't buy it because it wasn't fully DX7 patch compatible (ADSR envelopes 😱). I'd only want it to replace my DX gear otherwise I've got all the FM synths I need. If I was designing it I would have made it fully 6-op and 4-op compatible. Huge mistake by Korg IMO. The Volca FM is handy (with the unofficial firmware to fix their patch compatibility error) but the Opsix missed the mark for me.
