  1. Harper Hill

    BS II is an absolutely crushing piece of equipment.
    If your synthesizer is mainly to spin fat analogue and experimental bass, look no further.
    There is simply NO better equipment for up to $ 400.
    Great ability to edit the colors, the sound that puts you on the shoulders and the layout that allows you to completely sink into the depths of analog synthesis 🙂

    I heartily recommend it and satisfaction is guaranteed;)

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the purpose of the newly added DSP chips in the Korg Minilogue XD Module, and how do they enhance its synthesis capabilities?

The two additional DSP chips in the Korg Minilogue XD Module are designed to expand its synthesis capabilities. These chips provide an increased processing power, allowing for more complex sounds and algorithms to be generated within the module's digital signal processing section. Some of the specific ways these DSP chips enhance the Minilogue XD's synthesis capabilities include:

1. Increased oscillator types - The new DSP chips enable the addition of several new oscillator types, including a "metal" oscillator that creates bright, metallic timbres, and a "multi" oscillator that allows for complex waveforms to be created by combining multiple wave shapes. New filter algorithms - These include a "resonant low-pass 12dB", which provides a more pronounced resonance in the low frequencies, as well as a new "comb" filter algorithm that creates comb-filtering effects commonly heard in metallic percussion sounds and vocal samples. Expanded modulation options - The additional DSP chips also provide expanded modulation capabilities, allowing for greater flexibility in shaping the module's sounds through advanced routings and feedback loops. Improved effects processing - The extra DSP power enables a wider range of high-quality digital effects to be added to the module, such as delays, reverbs, chorus, phaser, flanger, and ring modulation. These can be used in conjunction with the analog filters and oscillators for even more sonic possibilities. Overall, the addition of these DSP chips expands the Korg Minilogue XD's synthesis capabilities significantly, making it an even more versatile and powerful module for sound design and music production.

How do I properly calibrate the oscillators on the Korg Minilogue XD Module to ensure accurate pitch and stability during synthesis?

Calibrating the oscillators on your Korg Minilogue XD module is an important step in ensuring accurate pitch and stability during synthesis. Here's how you can do it:

1. Connect your Korg Minilogue XD module to a power source and turn it on. Press the [FUNCTION] button until the display shows "CAL". Press [WRITE] to enter calibration mode. The oscillators will now beep in a specific pattern. Follow this pattern using an external tuner or a piano keyboard with accurate pitch (preferably A4=440Hz). Adjust the frequency of each oscillator by turning the corresponding knob on your module until it matches the external reference. Be sure to adjust the fine-tune control as well, if necessary. Repeat this process for all 12 oscillators (OSC1-OSC6 in both modes A and B). After completing the calibration, press [WRITE] again to save your changes. Your Korg Minilogue XD module should now be accurately calibrated, providing you with stable and accurate pitch during synthesis. It's recommended that you re-calibrate your oscillators periodically to ensure their accuracy over time. Additionally, make sure to store your module in a cool, dry place to prevent fluctuations in temperature and humidity, which can affect the stability of your oscillators as well.
