The incredible limited-edition KORG minilogue bass polyphonic synthesizer is designed and voiced to add inspirational bass into your music. minilogue bass features programs created by a specially selected group of bass playing and programming pros from around the world, so you get a big variety of rich, analog synth bass sounds that will inspire you and help your music stand out. Now’s the time to step outside the box and get down with the limited-edition minilogue bass.
Bass Preset Programs Developed With Pro Bassists and Synth Programmers
All of the programs on the minilogue bass have been optimized by professional bass players and synth programmers, to fit perfectly into any recording or performance—although they can all be edited and customized to your taste. You can change the thickness of the sound using the VCOs and voice mode, and the brightness of the sound using the filter, for example. All of the 100 presets were newly created just for the minilogue bass, and you can save up to 200 of your own sounds (100 preset programs and 100 user programs).
In addition, all the programs for the original minilogue will also work perfectly in the minilogue bass, giving you access to a huge library of sounds covering all possible music and sound genres.
Powerful Sound via Authentic Analog Circuitry
The minilogue bass analog synthesizer circuitry generates sound that can’t be recreated on digital hardware and software synths—notably thickness, loudness and a massive sonic pallet of additional harmonics. And the intuitive, editable panel interface allows quick changes when playing live or in the studio.
The minilogue bass includes two VCOs, a VCF, two EGs, a VCA and an LFO. It features the unique wave shaping pioneered in the minilogue for generating oscillator harmonics, as well as multiple ways to modulate the sound, including cross modulation, oscillator sync and a surprisingly powerful ring modulator. The high-pass filter features delay, to expand the sonic possibilities.
Eight Voice Modes
The four-voice polyphonic structure and eight voice modes, inherited from the minilogue, make it less likely that each sound will get cut off when you play, and also create an even more robust sound when you stack voices. You can trigger various effects with the press of a button, such as UNISON (which produces thick bass and lead sounds), MONO (which adds a sub-oscillator that plays an octave lower and works great for bass), and DELAY that you can trigger while delaying the sound.
16-step Sequencer on Board
The minilogue bass features an onboard sequencer that can memorize what you play in 16 steps. This polyphonic sequencer also includes motion sequence functionality, which memorizes the motions of up to four knobs or switches. With the sequencer, you can do real-time recording with overdub and step recording, and automatically play back repeated phrases while you use the keyboard to change the root position.
Oscilloscope for Visualizing the Sound
The built in OLED (Organic EL Display) features an oscilloscope function, which displays sound as waveforms. Being able to view changes in the parameters in real time provides great visual feedback—as well as being addictive fun!
Designed With a Visually Striking Presence
The top panel of the minilogue bass sports a rather unusual character, representing a visual sense of a swelling synth bass sound. What’s more, the black and red inverted colors on the keys help to reduce the “hard-to-play” feeling some musicians have towards “black and white keys,” providing an approachable and enjoyable instrument. The red-colored wood rear panel completes the high-toned and stylish design of the minilogue bass.
