One doesn’t typically associate affordability with analog gear, but Korg’s newest synth, the Minilogue, looks to be a reasonably priced offering with exceptional functionality.<\/p>

The\u00a0Minilogue is a\u00a0fully-programmable polyphonic synth with 4-voices, 37 velocity sensitive keys, a 16-step sequencer, built-in tape style delay, cross modulation between sections, and plenty more enticing features. One of the most notable advancements is the built-in\u00a0oscilloscope\u00a0display, which allows\u00a0one to track\u00a0all the changes to the waveform\u00a0in real time. The<\/span>\u00a0build consists of an aluminum face panel and\u00a0Pyinkado wood back panel, making for a sleek, modern design.\u00a0<\/span>From the first videos and user reviews, the Minilogue looks to be a beast of a machine.<\/p>

James Sajeva, Brand Manager for Korg, said the Minilogue “brings a new level of affordability to the world of programmable polyphonic analog synthesizers. At $499.99 it is priced like a digital synth, but is armed with superb true analog sound, convenience of programmability, a striking design and quality build.\u201d<\/p>
