What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

Korg Minilogue XD

Only one whitelisted tester, Engadget, published a hands-on review of the $650 Korg Minilogue XD. It calls the XD one of, if not the most versatile midrange synths out there, praising its thick atmospheric analog pads, solid tank-like build quality, and user-programmable digital Multi oscillator. It flags four-note polyphony that runs out for piano-style playing, the lack of MIDI thru in a crowded studio, and drive/key-track switches that offer only three positions. No lab measurements were reported. (1 sourced review.)

Praised: Versatile midrange synth with wide sonic range, especially thick atmospheric pads; Solid, satisfying build quality and knobs for the price; User-programmable digital Multi oscillator with deep customization potential.

Flagged: Four-note polyphony runs out fast for lush chords and piano-style playing; No MIDI thru limits fitting into a crowded home studio; Drive and key-track switches only offer three positions, limiting subtle tweaking.

UDO Super 6
