Korg Minilogue Bass

Full Description

All-analog design – optimised for bass

Building on the success and the design of the original Korg Minilogue, the Minilogue Bass retains all the powerful components and features that made the original so sought after, with a fully analog signal path. Optimised for creating powerful bass patches, the Minilogue Bass has been enhanced and refined by professional bass/synth programmers, allowing you to customise virtually any parameter. Exclusive to the Minilogue Bass are 100 preset patches curated by leading-sound designers to showcase the low-end power of the synthesizer. With 200 slots in total, you can store up to 100 of your own patches for instant save/recall.

Powerful sound design capabilities

At the heart of the Minilogue Bass is a fully analog signal path with four-voice polyphony and two powerful oscillators. Toggling between the eight voice modes on offer, you can tap into a broad sonic palette with modes such as Poly, Chord, Duo, Unison, Mono, Delay, Arp and Side Chain. Advanced modulation options allow you take your sound design to the next level using cross modulation, oscillator sync and the ring modulator. You can also shape and sculpt your sound using the onboard filter (2-pole, 4-pole). The intuitive control panel features 41 dedicated controls in total with sliders that can control various parameters for each program.

Onboard oscilloscope – visualise your sound

One of the most unique features of this powerful synthesizer is the oscilloscope. The OLED display with show you the waveform as you craft your sound. As well as being an entertaining add-on, this also helps when creating sounds as you see how the sound changes as you tweak each control.

Intuitive 16-step sequencer

The built-in 16-step sequencer features motion sequence recording capabilities, which give you a wide spectrum of possibilities when it comes to recording and arranging sounds. Providing real-time recording with overdubbing, the Minilogue Bass lets you record and arrange with each, with step-recording letting you record by consecutively entering notes, allowing you to create complex rhythms and sequences on the fly.

MIDI, USB and Sync connectivity

With the myriad of connections available, you can use the Minilogue Bass with a wide variety of audio gear, from audio interfaces to instruments and computers. As well as the MIDI and USB connectivity, the synthesizer features a sync connector that lets you connect to Korg's groove machines with ease. This opens up a whole world of possibilities when it comes to combining and crafting your sound as you can connect this to other Korg products such as the Volca Series, Electribe or the SQ-1 with expansive synchronised sequencer playback.

Robust and unique design with inverted keys

Building on the original design of the Minilogue, the Minilogue Bass features a unique design with an eye-catching sand-blasted 2mm aluminium front panel with a liquid-style design on top. The rear wooden panel features a sleek red finish, complete with metal shaft chassis-mounted potentiometers and rubber-coated knobs for optimised durability.
