Creating Sounds

Editing a program means changing the Program’s parameters to alter its sound.

There are two way to create sounds on the minilogue.

Select an existing Program that’s close to the sound you want, and edit that

•

Program’s parameters to achieve your own custom sound. You can also initialize all the Program parameters or use the Panel Load func-

•

tion to create your own sound from scratch.

Editing an Existing Program

In Program mode, select the Program that you want to use as a starting

point.

Use the knobs and switches on the front panel.

Take a moment to consider the dierences between the current Program and the sound you have in mind, and use the front panel controls to edit the necessary parameters.

For details on how the pitch, sound, and volume change when using the

TIP

knobs and switches, refer to “Basic Parameter Editing” (p. 14).

We recommend that you save the Program on the minilogue after

editing the sound. Any edits that you make will be lost if you turn o the power or recall a dierent Program. For details, refer to “Saving a Program” (p. 13).

Creating a Program from Scratch

To create a sound from scratch, we recommend that you use the Panel Load function. This will load the current seings of each front panel control and

provide a simple starting point for your iconic creations.

As you explore the front panel controls, you can see how each parameter will aect the sound, making it easier to understand how each section of the mini-

logue functions and how the parameters interact.

Panel Load function

Press the PLAY buon while holding down the SHIFT buon. The sound will change to reect the panel seings, and “Load Panel” will be indicated in the display.

Saving a Program

We recommend that you save your Program on the minilogue after editing the sound.

Any edits that you make to the current program will be lost if you

turn o the power or recall a dierent program before saving.

Edit the program in Play mode.

For details, refer to “Basic Parameter Editing” (p. 14).

Press the WRITE buon; the minilogue will enter the Write standby

mode, and the WRITE buon will blink.

The message “Where to write?” will appear in the display.

Turn the PROGRAM/VALUE knob to select the Program number where

your new sound will be saved.

Programs 1–100 are preset Programs, and Programs 101–200 are user Programs.

Press the EXIT buon to cancel the operation.

TIP

Press the WRITE buon once more.

The Program will be saved in internal memory, and the message “Complete” will appear in the display..

Never turn o the power while Programs are being saved. Doing so

may destroy the internal data.

Basic Parameter Editing

In this section, we’ll explain the basic parameters that make up a program.

The basic parameters are assigned to the knobs and switches on the front panel.

VCO 1, VCO 2

VCO: Voltage Controlled Oscillator

There are two oscillators in the minilogue. Oscillator Parameters include the seings for the

pitch of the sound (OCTAVE, PITCH) and the

waveform (WAVE, SHAPE).

O C T A V E s w i t c h [ 1 6 ’, 8 ’, 4 ’, 2 ’ ]

The pitch of oscillators 1 and 2 can be set in

octave steps.

WAVE switch [ , , ]

This sets the waveforms for oscillators 1 and 2. Square wave: This waveform is used for electronic and wind instrument

sounds.

Triangle wave: This waveform has a rounder feel than the sawtooth or square

wave.

Sawtooth wave: This waveform is used to create sounds typical of analog syn-

thesizers, such as synth basses and brass.

PITCH knob [−1200...+1200]

0 1023

The pitch, or tuning, of the Oscillators can be set using one-cent steps.

SHAPE knob [0...1023]

This knob will determine the nal shape, complexity, or duty-cycle (Square) of

the selected waveform.

VCO 2 MODULATION

Oscillator 2 includes powerful oscillator sync, cross

modulation, and ring modulation functions.

CROSS MOD DEPTH knob [0...1023]

Cross Mod (Modulation) allows Oscillator 1 to mod-

ulate the pitch of Oscillator 2.

Turning the knob to the right results in stronger modulation.

PITCH EG DEPTH knob [−4800...+4800]

The Pitch EG (Envelope Generator) can be used to change the Pitch of Oscilla-

tor 2 over time. In the center position, no eect is applied.

Positive values (turning the knob to the right of center) increase the Pitch EG

eect; turning the knob to the left of center increases the Pitch EG eect using an inverted image of the EG shape (negative values).

To learn more about the EG seings, refer to “EG” (p. 20).

SYNC switch [OFF, ON]

Oscillator sync is a popular eects for creating edgy synth leads. ON (up position):

With this type of modulation, the phase of oscillator 2 is forcibly synchronized to the phase of oscillator 1. This adds harmonic overtones to the frequency of oscillator 2, making a complex waveform.

VCO 1 Wave

Sync

VCO 2 Wave (original)

VCO 2 Wave (output)

RING switch [OFF, ON]

Ring Modulation outputs the sum and dierence of the frequencies created by the two oscillators. Adjust the pitch of Oscillator 2 to create non-tonal and metallic sounds.

ON (up position): Oscillator 1 is used to ring modulate oscillator 2.

VCO 1

VCO 2

RING MOD

MIXER

The mixer is used to set the relative levels of the three signal sources— Oscillator 1, Oscillator 2, and the Noise generator before they enter the lter.

VCO 1 knob [0...1023] VCO 2 knob [0...1023]

These knobs control the output levels of oscillator 1 and 2.

NOISE knob [0...1023]

Use this knob to set the output level of the noise generator. Noise (white noise) can be used on its own, or mixed with the Oscillators to create percussion instrument sounds, or sound eects such as surf.

FILTER

Low resonance value High resonance value

VCF: Voltage Controlled Filter

The low-pass lter shapes the tone by selectively ltering certain parts of the harmonic spectrum of the sound generated by the Oscillators and the Noise generator.

CUTOFF knob [0...1023]

This knob is used to set the cuto frequency. Harmonic content above the cuto frequency will be ltered out.

Turning the knob to the left will lower the cuto frequency,

and turning the knob to the right will raise the cuto frequency.

If the CUTOFF value is set too low, the volume may

be extremely low.

RESONANCE knob [0...1023]

Also known as Peak or Q, the RESONANCE control adds additional emphasis to the overtones occurring at the CUTOFF frequency, giving a distinctive char-

acter to the sound.

Turning the knob to the right will increase the resonance eect.

The overtones that are emphasized will change depending on the cut-

TIP

o frequency. For this reason, it’s good to adjust the CUTOFF knob while adjusting the RESONANCE knob.

When emphasizing the overtones in this way, the sound may distort

depending on the cuto frequency or the input audio.

EG INT knob [−100%...0...+100%]

The Envelope Generator (EG) can be used to control the CUTOFF, or Filter fre-

quency, over time using this EG INT (intensity) knob.

To learn more about the EG seings (“EG”, p. 20). With this knob in the center position (0%), no EG is applied to the Filter. Rotating the knob to the left of center increases the EG intensity, but with the

polarity of the EG inverted.

FILTER TYPE switch [2-POLE, 4-POLE]

The lter type (roll o) can be set to either 2-POLE (12 dB per octave) or 4-POLE (24 dB per octave).

2-POLE: Gently cuts o the upper harmonics, creating a more natural sound. 4-POLE: Cuts o the upper harmonics more sharply than the 2-POLE.

KEY TRACK switch [0%, 50%, 100%]

Key tracking allows the note played on the keyboard to inuence the cuto frequency of the lter. This is useful when you want higher notes to have more upper harmonics, or to appear brighter, than lower notes.

0% (lower position): No keyboard tracking will be applied.

50% (center position): The cuto frequency will change at half the rate/slope as

the pitch of the keyboard.

100% (upper position): The cuto frequency will change at the same rate/slope as the pitch of the keyboard.

VELOCITY switch [0%, 50%, 100%]

Species how the velocity (keyboard playing dynamics) will aect the cuto

frequency, allowing louder notes to appear brighter, etc.

0% (lower position): Velocity will not aect the cuto frequency.

50% (center position): Velocity will aect the cuto frequency, but at only half

the amount produced at 100%.

100% (upper position): Playing the keys harder will increase the cuto frequency, while playing the keys softer will decrease the cuto frequency.

AMP EG

VCA: Voltage Controlled Amplier / EG: Envelope Generator

The AMP (VCA) controls the output level of the minilogue, before the Master control. The

AMP Envelope Generator provides a precise

control signal that varies over time to modify

the VCA level.

ATTACK knob [0...1023]

The ATTACK species the time required for the EG to reach its maximum level

once a new note is played

DECAY knob [0...1023]

The DECAY species the time required for the EG to fall to the preset Sustain level once the Aack portion of the EG is complete.

SUSTAIN knob [0...1023]

The SUSTAIN species the level that will be maintained while the key is held

down (or a trigger is applied).

RELEASE knob [0...1023]

The RELEASE species the time required for the EG to reach its minimum level

(zero) once the key or trigger is released.

RELEASE knob [0...1023]

The RELEASE species the time required for the EG to reach its minimum level

(zero) once the key or trigger is released.

LFO

LFO: Low Frequency Oscillator

The Low Frequency Oscillator creates a repeating cyclical signal. You can choose one

of three LFO waveforms.

Depending on its target, the LFO can provide vibrato (PITCH); Tonal changes to the Oscillators (SHAPE); or Wah-Wah (CUTOFF) eects

WAVE switch [ , , ]

The LFO can be set to a square wave ( ), a triangle wave ( ), or a sawtooth

wave (

EG MOD switch [OFF, RATE, INT]

The EG can modify either the speed (RATE) or depth (INT) of the LFO, in conjunction with the RATE and INT knobs.

RATE knob [0...1023 / 4, 2, 1, 0, 3/4...1/64]

The rate knob adjusts the speed of the LFO. Turning the knob to the right will increase the LFO speed.

The values indicated here depend on the LFO BPM Sync seings in

TIP

the PROGRAM EDIT mode. When LFO BPM Sync is O, the available values are 0–1023; and when LFO BPM Sync is On, the available values are from 4–1/64 (“LFO BPM Sync”, p. 34).

INT knob [0...1023]

The INT knob adjusts the intensity of the LFO. Turning the knob to the right will increase the LFO intensity.

TARGET switch [CUTOFF, SHAPE, PITCH]

Selects the parameter where the LFO modulation will be applied.

CUTOFF: Modulation is applied to the FILTER CUTOFF knob seing. SHAPE: Modulation is applied to the VCO 1, 2 SHAPE knob seings. PITCH: Modulation is applied to the VCO 1, 2 PITCH knob seings.

DELAY

The Delay eect is combined with a High Pass lter. This allows you to create a wide range of sounds.

HI PASS CUTOFF knob [0...1023]

Adjusts the cuto frequency of the high-pass lter. Sounds and harmonic components below the HI-PASS CUTOFF frequency will be aenuated.

Turning the knob to the right will increase the cuto frequency.

TIME knob [0...1023]

This knob species the delay time. Turning the knob to the right will make the delay time longer.

FEEDBACK knob [0...1023]

The Feedback knobs controls the regeneration of the Delay eect. Turning the knob to the right will increase the amount of feedback.

OUTPUT ROUTING switch [BYPASS, PRE FILTER, POST FILTER]

Using this switch, you can specify where in the signal chain the Delay eect is being applied.

The circuit routing is shown below. Also, refer to the block diagram (“Block Diagram”, p. 3).

BYPASS: In this mode, the Delay and Hi Pass Filter are bypassed, and no eect

is applied to the sound.

PRE FILTER: The original sound is output before the Hi Pass Filter, and the Hi

Pass Filter is applied only to the delayed sound.

POST FILTER: This Hi Pass Filter is applied to both the original (dry) sound, and the delayed sound.

Voice modes

12345678

The minilogue is a 4-voice analog synthesizer. By changing the Voice mode, you can combine and allocate the voices in dierent ways.

The Voice mode is set as a Program parameter,

and you can see which Voice mode is being used

by looking at which of the buons 1–8 is lit. For

details, refer to “Program List” (p. 54).

There are 8 dierent Voice modes, and buons

1–8 are used to switch between them. Turning

the VOICE MODE DEPTH knob controls a spe-

cic parameter unique to each Voice mode.

The note name for the keys you press on the keyboard will be indicated in the display. Check the note name in the display, and if it is correct, release your nger to record that note and to move to the next step.

If the note name is not correct, just play the correct key while continuing to hold down the wrong key. Check the note indicated in the display, and take your nger o the keyboard to move to the next step.

You can also record chords that you play on the keyboard. The number of notes in a chord will depend on the Voice mode of the current Program (“Voice modes”, p. 23).

The note length during recording is determined by the Default Gate

TIP

Time value that is set in the SEQ EDIT mode. If you turn the PROGRAM/ VALUE knob while playing the keyboard, the gate time for only the note(s) you played will be changed when recording.

Recording a rest

You can record a rest by pressing the REST buon.

Recording a tie

Press the REST buon while holding down a key. The note will be tied to the next note and recorded.

When the set number of steps have nished recording, step recording

will automatically end. Pressing the REC buon at any step during recording will stop the step recording at that step.

The number of steps is set for each Program, and you can change

TIP

the number of steps using the Step Length function in the SEQ EDIT mode. For details, refer to “Step Length” (p. 37).

Recording a Motion Sequence

Motion Sequencing allows you to record the ipping of switches and the turning of knobs as part of the sequence, and recreate those motions automatically

during playback.

Other editing functions

Use the SEQ EDIT mode when seing the Step Length and Step Resolution parameters during sequence step recording, as well as for deleting sequence

data, or for editing or deleting motions. For details, refer to “SEQ EDIT mode” (p. 37).

Edit Mode

Although nearly all of the minilogue’s main parameters can be edited using the knobs and switches on the panel, other detailed parameters are accessed using the Edit mode.

There are three sub-modes within the Edit mode: PROGRAM EDIT mode,

SEQ EDIT mode, and GLOBAL EDIT mode.

How to enter the Edit mode

Press the EDIT MODE buon.

Each Edit mode is shown in the display, and the buons light.

1, 2

1234567

Press the EDIT MODE buon repeatedly—

or use the PROGRAM/VALUE knob—to advance to the PROGRAM EDIT mode, SEQ EDIT mode, or GLOBAL EDIT mode.

PROGRAM EDIT mode: This mode is used to change the Program name and assign a parameter to the slider, as well as to initialize Programs and perform other Program editing functions. SEQ EDIT mode: This mode is used to set the BPM and congure other Step Sequencer seings, to delete sequence data, and so on. GLOBAL EDIT mode: This mode is used to set the tuning and to specify how the knobs and switches should function, as well as seings that aect the entire synthesizer—such as MIDI.

Press one of the buons 1–6 (or buons 1–7 in GLOBAL EDIT mode).

The minilogue will enter the selected Edit mode, and the parameter names will be indicated in the display. Switch to a dierent page by pressing the same buon in succession.

Buons 1–6 are assigned to specic Edit pages in the PROGRAM EDIT mode and the SEQ EDIT mode (“PROGRAM EDIT mode”, p. 33) (“SEQ

EDIT mode”, p. 37).

Buons 1–7 are assigned to specic Edit pages in the GLOBAL EDIT mode (“GLOBAL EDIT mode”, p. 40).

After you have congured the parameters in PROGRAM EDIT mode

and/or SEQ EDIT mode, press the WRITE buon to save your changes.

The display will indicate the message “Where to write?”.

If you do not save your changes and select another Program after you

have congured the parameters in the PROGRAM EDIT mode and the SEQ EDIT mode, your seings will be lost.

GLOBAL EDIT mode parameters are automatically saved when you

TIP

switch pages, so there is no need to save them manually.

Use the PROGRAM/VALUE knob to select the destination Program num-

ber where you will save your edited sound.

If the Slider is set to PITCH BEND, this parameter species how much pitch bend will be applied when moving the slider in the minus (left) direction.

Button 3 (LFO SETTING)

There are a number of LFO parameters that relate to various sync functions.

LFO BPM Sync [O, On]

This function allows you to choose whether the LFO frequency will be syn-

chronized with the BPM of the Sequencer. O: The LFO frequency will not be synchronized. When the LFO RATE knob

is turned, the LFO Rate value changes continuously within the 0–1023 range.

On: The LFO frequency will be synchronized. When the LFO RATE knob is

turned, the LFO Rate value will be displayed as the number of beats, such as 4, 2,

1... 1/32, 1/64.

LFO Key Sync [O, On]

With the LFO Key Sync set to On, the phase of the LFO will be reset with each note-on received from the keyboard.

LFO Voice Sync [O, On]

Use the LFO Voice Sync to choose whether the phase of the LFO will be syn-

chronized between voices.

Button 4 (OTHER SETTING)

These parameters relate to Portamento, Keyboard Velocity, and the output level of the Program.

Portamento Time [O, 0...127]

Portamento produces a continuous glide in pitch between notes; this parameter

controls the portamento time. O: No portamento eect is applied.

The larger the value, the longer the portamento time.

Portamento Mode [Auto, On]

Auto: When playing in a legato style (playing a new note before any previously played note is released), portamento will be applied.

On: Portamento will be applied, even when fully releasing a key and then

playing the next note.

Portamento BPM [O, On]

On: The Portamento Time will be synchronized to the BPM value.

Amp Velocity [0...127]

Amp Velocity is used to specify how much the volume will change according to the keyboard velocity.

0: The velocity will not aect the volume.

The larger the value, the more eect that keyboard velocity will have on volume.

Program Level [−25...+25]

Program Level allows you to adjust the volume of a Program relative to other Programs.

Increasing this value will make the volume louder.

Button 5 (INITIALIZE)

This buon initializes the current Program. Turn the PROGRAM/VALUE knob until “Press WRITE” is indicated in the dis-

play. The WRITE buon will blink. Press the WRITE buon to initialize the Program. The display will indicate the message “Initialized”.

Step Length [1...16]

Step Length allows you to set the number of steps used by the Step Sequencer.

Step Resolution [1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1]

The Step Resolution is used to set the length of each Step Sequencer step.

1/16: A single step will be set to the length of a sixteenth note. 1/1: A single step will be set to the length of one measure. Use this when you

want to play long chords.

Swing [−75%...+75%]

The Swing parameter adjusts the intensity of the swing.

Default Gate Time [0–100%]

The Gate Time is the default value used for each step recorded using the Step Sequencer. Lower values are more staccato, higher values have a longer gate time.

Button 3 (SEQ CLEAR)

Master Tune [−50 Cent...+50 Cent]

This adjusts the overall tuning of the entire minilogue in one-cent units (semitone = 100 cents), over a range of ±50 cents.

0: A4 is equal to 440 Hz.

Transpose [−12 Note...+12 Note]

Transposing the keyboard allows you play in a dierent key using familiar n-

gerings on the keyboard.

Button 2 (GLOBAL 2)

These functions relate to performance aspects of the minilogue—knob operation, velocity curves, local seings, and more.

Knob Mode [Jump, Catch, Scale]

The front panel knobs can operate in one of three modes: Jump: When you turn the knob, the parameter value will jump to the value

indicated by the knob. Since this makes it easy to hear the results while editing, we recommend that you use this seing.

Catch: Turning the knob will not change the parameter value until the knob

position matches the stored value. We recommend that you use this seing when you don’t want the sound to change abruptly, such as while performing.

Scale: When you turn the knob, the parameter value will increase or decrease in a relative manner in the direction that it is turned. When you turn the knob and it

reaches the full extent of its motion, it will operate proportionate to the maximum or minimum value of the parameter. Once the knob position matches the param eter value, the knob position and parameter value will subsequently be linked.

If the parameter value does not change

In some cases, the parameter value may not change or Motion Sequence recording may not start, even when you turn the knob from left to right. This means that the knob mode is set to “Catch”.

In this case, the actual value of the parameter you’re editing (the value shown in the display) will not change unless it matches the position of the knob. In Catch mode, the knob position and the value will be linked only when the knob position reaches the actual value. This prevents an unnatural change in sound that is caused when a value suddenly changes.

Let’s say that you’ve turned the knob to edit a certain parameter, and that the knob is in the position shown.

The actual value of the parameter is at the position shown by the triangle. The parameter value will not change until the knob position reaches the triangle mark.

Once the knob has reached the position corresponding to the actual value, the parameter value and the knob position will be linked, and the value will change as you turn the knob.

Audio In [O, On]

The audio input jack can be globally enabled or disabled.

O: Any audio signals coming into the jack will be muted.

Local SW [O, On]

127

Soft Keyboard Strong

The local connection makes a link between the minilogue keyboard the sound-

generating circuitry. Normally, this link is On. However, if you are using the

minilogue with an external sequencer or sequencing software, you will want to set the local connection to OFF to eliminate the double-triggering of notes

caused by MIDI echo. O: The minilogue’s keyboard will be internally disconnected from the tone

generator.

Velocity Curve [Type 1...8, Const 127]

Changing the Velocity Curve allows you to match the dynamic response of the

minilogue keyboard to your own playing style and technique.

8 7

Type 1

This curve requires you to play strongly in order to produce an eect.

...

Type 2, 3

Type 4 This is a typical curve.

Type 5

...

Type 6

Type 7

Type 8

This curve produces an eect without requiring you to play very strongly.

This curve produces a fairly steady eect with lile change for medium-strength playing.

This curve produces a fairly steady eect with lile change for medium-strength playing (a aer curve than 7).

Const 127 All notes will sound at maximum velocity.

Curve types 7 and 8 produce lile change for medium-strength playing, and are suitable when keyboard velocity is not required, or when you want to play

each note at the same velocity. However, these curves will produce a great deal

of change with softly played notes, so the sound may be more dicult to con-

trol. Choose the curve that is most appropriate for your playing dynamics or for the eect you want to obtain.

Button 3 (GLOBAL 3)

These parameters relate to the SYNC IN/SYNC OUT jack seings.

Sync In Unit [16th Note, 8th Note]

The Sync In Units determine how much the Sequencer will advance with each pulse received via the SYNC IN jack.

16th Note: The Sequencer will advance one sixteenth note for each pulse. 8th Note: The Sequencer will advance one eighth note for each pulse.

When Step Resolution in the SEQ EDIT mode is set to 1/16, a sixteenth

TIP

note will be equal to one step, and an eighth note will be equal to two steps.

Sync Out Unit [16th Note, 8th Note]

The Sync Out Units determine how far the Sequencer needs to advance in or-

der to generate a pulse via the SYNC OUT jack.

16th Note: A pulse will be outpued for every sixteenth note. 8th Note: A pulse will be outpued for every eighth note.

When Step Resolution in the SEQ EDIT mode is set to 1/16, a sixteenth

TIP

note will be equal to one step, and an eighth note will be equal to two steps.

Sync In Polarity [Rise, Fall]

In order to achieve synchronization with other units, the polarity of the SYNC IN jack may need to be changed.

Rise: The minilogue will sync to the pulse as it rises to its crest (the highest

point) of the waveform. Fall: The minilogue will sync to the pulse as it falls to its trough (the lowest point) of the waveform.

Sync Out Polarity [Rise, Fall]

In order for other units to correctly sync with the minilogue, the polarity of the

SYNC OUT jack may need to be changed. Rise: The minilogue will create a sync pulse as it rises to its crest (the highest

point) of the waveform. Fall: The minilogue will create a sync pulse as it falls to its trough (the lowest point) of the waveform.

Button 4 (GLOBAL 4)

These parameters relate to the minilogue’s MIDI capabilities.

MIDI Ch [1...16]

In order to communicate, the minilogue and your other MIDI devices must be

set to the same MIDI channel. This is both the Transmit and Receive channel.

Clock Source [Auto (USB), Auto (MIDI), Internal]

Many features of the minilogue can be sync’d to the tempo or BPM. This parameter allows you to specify whether the clock source is internal, or an external MIDI Clock Source.

Auto (USB), Auto (MIDI): When there is no input, the internal clock will be used; and when input is detected, the internal clock will be synchronized to the

clocks from the USB B and MIDI IN connectors respectively. Internal: Only the internal clock to be used.

When a cable is plugged into the SYNC IN jack, the internal clock is

synchronized to the SYNC IN jack clock, regardless of the MIDI clock seings.

Enable Rx MIDI [O, On]

Set this parameter to ON to allow the minilogue to receive MIDI messages.

Enable Tx MIDI [O, On]

Set this parameter to ON to allow the minilogue to transmit MIDI messages.

MIDI Route [USB+MIDI, USB]

MIDI signals can be sent and received via the MIDI and USB connectors, or by the USB connector alone.

USB+MIDI: MIDI messages are received via the USB B connector and the MIDI IN connector; messages are transmied from the USB B connector and the MIDI OUT connector.

USB: MIDI messages will be transmied and received only via the USB B con-

nector. When using the USB connector as a MIDI interface, it is advantageous to use this seing.

Button 5 (GLOBAL 5)

These parameters relate to the minilogue’s display, and what information is

seen there.

Parameter Disp [Normal, All]

Normal: Only major information such as operating the pitch-related knobs or switching the OUTPUT ROUTING switch will be displayed.

All: When any knob except for the MASTER knob is turned, the value is indi-

cated; and when operating a switch, the seing is indicated.

Oscilloscope [Disable, Enable]

In place of the Program name and number, the oscilloscope feature can be used to show a waveform tracing of the sound.

Disable: The display will indicate the Program name and number.. Enable: The sound will be displayed as an electrical signal (waveform).

Button 6 (GLOBAL 6)

These parameters relate to the minilogue’s display and power seings.

Brightness [1...10]

Adjusts the display brightness.

Continuous use of the minilogue while the brightness is set to a high

value will have an adverse eect on the overall life of the display.

Auto Power O [O, On]

Using the Auto Power O feature, the minilogue can be set to automatically turn o after approximately four hours have elapsed without any operation of the knobs, switches, or keyboard, and without any input. Once this occurs, you will need to turn the minilogue on again manually.

O: The Auto Power O feature will be disabled. On: The Auto Power O feature is enabled. For details, refer to “Auto Power

O Feature” (p. 7)

Button 7 (GLOBAL 7)

These parameters allow you to perform a dump of all the internal data, either via MIDI or via USB.

Other functions

Tuning

As with all analog instruments, the minilogue’s circuitry can drift over time

during performance due to changes in environment and temperature. The

minilogue provides an auto-tuning function that automatically tunes the in-

strument’s analog circuits on demand, to correct for any analog drift..

As you continue to play the minilogue for a while right after you’ve turned it on, the pitch and tone may gradually drift. If the pitch drift becomes noticeable, use the steps below to tune the instrument. This will manually bring the

minilogue back into tune.

Press the REC buon while holding down the SHIFT buon.

Tuning will begin, and the display will indicate “Tuning...”. The tuning will take about 15 seconds.

During tuning, you will temporarily be unable to play the minilogue.

Restoring the Factory settings

You can restore the minilogue’s preset Programs and global seings to their original factory-set state at any time.

Begin with the minilogue turned O.

While holding down the WRITE buon and the EXIT buon, turn the

minilogue On.

“FACTORY RESET” will be indicated in the display.

Turn the PROGRAM/VALUE knob to select the items you wish to reset

to the factory default seings.

PRESET: Restores the preset Programs (Programs 1–100) to their factory-set default seings.

This will replace the existing preset Programs with the factory-set

default Programs. If you want to keep the existing preset Programs beforehand, press the WRITE buon to save the presets to the user Programs (Programs 101–200).

GLOBAL: Restores the GLOBAL seings to their factory default seings. This also includes any favorite Programs that you have registered.

ALL: Restores the preset Programs (Programs 001–100), Programs 101–200, and GLOBAL seings to their factory-set default seings.

Use caution, as this will replace all data with the factory-set default

seings (which will erase your user Programs).

Press the WRITE buon.

The display will indicate the message “Are you sure?”.

Turn the PROGRAM/VALUE knob to select “Yes”, and press the WRITE

buon.

The factory-set default data will be reloaded, and the minilogue will be restored to its factory default state.

Press the EXIT buon, or select “No” using the PROGRAM/VALUE

TIP

knob and press the WRITE buon to cancel the operation.

Never turn o the minilogue while data is being loaded.

Understanding MIDI

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a worldwide standard for exchanging various types of musical data between electronic musical

instruments and computers.

When MIDI cables are used to connect two or more MIDI devices, performance data can be exchanged between the devices, even if they were made by dier-

ent manufacturers.

MIDI data can also be exchanged between the minilogue and your personal computer using a single USB cable. The minilogue lets you assign MIDI control change numbers (CC#) to the major parameters that aect the sound, and con-

trol these parameters from an external MIDI sequencer while you play the tone

generator. You can also use the front panel knobs or buons to transmit these

control change messages, in order to control an external MIDI device.

You can also synchronize the minilogue’s tempo to the MIDI clock of an ex-

ternal MIDI sequencer or other device, so that the minilogue will play in time

with the external device and with any changes you make.

Connecting Devices via MIDI and USB

Controlling an external MIDI device from the minilogue

If you want to use the minilogue’s keyboard, controllers, and sequencer to play sounds on or to control an external MIDI tone generator, connect the mini-

logue’s MIDI OUT connector to the external MIDI tone generator’s MIDI IN connector using a MIDI cable.

Controlling the minilogue from an external MIDI device

If you want to play or control the minilogue from another MIDI keyboard, sequencer, or other device, connect the MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI device to the minilogue’s MIDI IN connector with a MIDI cable.

Connecting the minilogue to a computer via MIDI

You might want to play the minilogue’s keyboard and record your perfor-

mance on an external MIDI sequencer or computer (connected using the MIDI

interface), and then play the minilogue while monitoring or playing back what

you recorded. You also might want to use the minilogue as both an input de-

vice for playing notes and as a MIDI tone generator. In either case, you’ll need

to connect the MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector on both the

minilogue and the external MIDI sequencer or computer.

Some MIDI interface devices may be unable to transmit or receive

MIDI SysEx messages to or from the minilogue. It’s convenient to use the USB connector when connecting the mini-

TIP

logue to a personal computer.

Connecting the minilogue to a computer via USB

In order to use a USB connection, you’ll need to install the Korg USB-MIDI driver on your computer. Download the “Korg USB-MIDI driver” from the

Korg website, and install it as described in the accompanying documentation.

If either the MIDI connection or the USB connection is not working

properly, check the seings in buon 4 (“MIDI Route”) of the GLOBAL EDIT mode (“MIDI Route”, p. 44).

MIDI-Related Settings

Setting the MIDI channel

In order to exchange data with a connected external MIDI device, you must set

the minilogue’s MIDI channel to match the MIDI channel of the external MIDI device.

Use the buon 4 (MIDI Ch) in the GLOBAL EDIT mode to set the minilogue’s

MIDI channel (“MIDI Ch”, p. 44).

When synchronizing to an external MIDI device, refer to that device’s

TIP

Owner’s manual.

Conguring the MIDI “LOCAL” setting when connected to an

external MIDI sequencer or computer

The Echo Back seing of your external MIDI sequencer or computer system allows the MIDI notes and other messages being played by the minilogue to be

instantly passed along to any other MIDI equipment, including synthesizers,

tone generators. However, this same Echo Back function can cause the mini-

logue to double trigger: once when you play the note, and a second time as the

external MIDI sequencer of computer system sends the note back to the mini-

logue. To prevent this from happening, you can simply disable the LOCAL connection between the minilogue keyboard and the tone generating circuitry.

The LOCAL feature is accessed using buon 2 (Local SW) in the GLOBAL EDIT mode (“Local SW”, p. 42).

Conguring the minilogue to transmit and receive short

MIDI messages

The minilogue can be congured to enable or disable the receiving or transmission of MIDI short messages.

To receive or transmit MIDI short messages, turn the “Enable Rx MIDI” and “Enable Tx MIDI” seings on using buon 4 in the GLOBAL EDIT mode (“Enable Rx MIDI”, p. 44) (“Enable Tx MIDI”, p. 44).

Synchronizing the Sequencer

Use the “Clock Source” seing on buon 4 in the GLOBAL EDIT mode to set

whether the minilogue will be the master (the device controlling the synchroni-

zation) or the slave (the device being controlled) when the Sequencer is played (“Clock Source”, p. 44).

When synchronizing to an external MIDI device, refer to that device’s

TIP

Owner’s manual.

Using the minilogue as the master to slave external MIDI devices

Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the minilogue to the MIDI IN connector on your external MIDI device(s).

In the GLOBAL EDIT mode, set the Clock Source of the minilogue to “Internal”, and congure the external MIDI device to receive clock data via MIDI. The

minilogue will act as the master, and the tempo that is set using the TEMPO

knob on the minilogue will be sent as MIDI timing clock data to operate the external MIDI device (sequencers, rhythm machines, and so on).

Slaving the minilogue clock to an external MIDI device

Connect the MIDI IN connector of the minilogue to the MIDI OUT connector on your external MIDI device.

In the GLOBAL EDIT mode, set the Clock Source of the minilogue to “Auto (MIDI)”, and congure the external MIDI device to transmit MIDI clock data.

The minilogue will automatically act as the slave whenever a MIDI timing clock is received, and will be driven by the tempo of the external MIDI device (sequencers, rhythm machines, and so on).

Even if you set the Clock Source to “Auto (USB)” or “Auto (MIDI)”,

TIP

the minilogue will operate in “Internal” MIDI clock mode, unless a clock is received from an external device.
