The Korg Minilogue Bass is an analog synthesizer. Delve into 100 newly developed presets, including 40 dedicated to exploring the huge low-end that were programmed in collaboration with leading bassists and synthesists. Like its predecessor, miniloguebass includes eight voice functions, with a built-in oscilloscope for real-time visual feedback as you shape your output with dual scillator. Armed with authentic analog circuitry, a 16-step sequencer and an array of sonic sculpting tools, the gearnerds at Klundert Music agree that this 37-key Korg synthesizer succeeds in bringing the rich minilogue magic to the low end!
Four voices to create your own sound
If you've heard the original minilogue, then you know how much range its 4-voice polyphony can achieve. The minilogue bass continues this trend with an aural architecture optimized for use in the low end. Poly mode functions as a standard 4-voice synth; Duo stacks two voices in unison, and Unison stacks each voice, turning the minilogue bass into a monstrous mono synth. In Mono mode, minilogue bass kicks the low end into high gear by adding a sub-oscillator. You can create aural vistas with the Chord or Delay modes, the latter layering your sound by slowing down the second, third and fourth voices after the first voice is played. For rhythmic considerations, Arp features a 4-voice arpeggiator, while Side Chain provides volume attenuations as you move from voice to voice.
Programmed synthesizer circuits
Korg's signature all-analog architecture guarantees the thick "oomp" not found in digital synthesis. Thick aural power and distinctive sonic range abound across 100 uniquely designed presets, with 40 bass-specific options programmed in. With all its sound-design potential, the minilogu ebass includes a bank of 100 slots for user-assignable presets. Follow the rhythm with the 16-step polyphonic sequencer, which can assign motion sequences to up to four parameters. An onboard OLED oscilloscope delivers vivid visualizations for real-time monitoring, coupled with full access to Korg's Sound Librarian, which lets you manage, modify and move programs to your computer, or even to another minilogue synth. Cool!
Powerful Display
An intuitive interface with 41 ergonomic panel knobs guides and inspires through an electric landscape of tri-wave shape oscillators, envelope generators, lush LFO options and a unique, delay-infused highpass cutoff. Korg's versatile LFO - developed for the original minilogue - is the minilogue bass's secret weapon. Add a flexible multi-mode filter and suite of expression tools for a truly individual sound that begs to be unleashed. Versatile MIDI in/out/thru connectivity is accompanied by dedicated Sync and audio I/O, as well as a USB-B port and headphone jack, for seamless integration into any setup or setting.
