KORG Minilogue vs .KORG Monologue

It’s time to pit the Korg Minilogue up against its bigger rival.

The Minilogue’s sequencer can be used in two ways. You can either record in real-time or program your performance via steps. Recording in real-time lets musicians automate multiple parameters in order to create complex patterns by overdubbing, which is recording over an existing recording.

Thus, synth-players can layer performances over one another and create rich, thick sounds. Step recording, on the other hand, is perfect for creating rhythms and phrases; this recording method lets you record notes one at a time, which is perfect for creating riffs and melodies.

The Minilogue’s learning curve isn’t steep. This synthesizer will appeal to beginners because a knob is provided for every parameter. That is, users can change aspects of their sound individually with the twist of a simple knob. Also, USB, MIDI and sync I/O makes it easy to connect other synth gear to the Minilogue.
