korg minilogue
no interest for this synth on here?
plan on getting it. looks great, sounds pretty good as well.
korg have been on a roll lately. roland should be taking notes.
Learn your other stuff first 
I'm a bit underwhelmed by the Minilogue. It has a good spec for the price, but is lacking a bit in character and basic tone.
DSi Mopho x4 is far superior imo.
i'm exchanging the gaia in for this. it sounds pathetic. the supernatural engine in the jdxi is light years ahead of the gaia, which sounds dull, dry and muted. just awful. surprised to admit, but the haters are right.
getting a minilogue instead.
the x4 is twice the price... comparing them is silly.
Then keep saving and stop buying crap for the sake of it.
save for what? an x4 on your say so?
i don't have any desire for that synth whatsoever
the minilogue is "crap"?!
your doing the classic noob thing of buying all the synths
decide on a reputable synth - buy it - learn it
no, done that already. you are right though, that's a thing.
not looking to this to give me a sound i'm searching for but can't seem to find.
this is different, but i intend on learning it in detail. my jdxi is great, sounds brilliant, but i'd rather rip off my arms than menu dive for simple things like ADSR.
A great synth to learn on is the Nord as there is no menu diving and has a fantastic sound to this day, always some going second hand
Ive heard some sounds from the Minilogue and it sounds pretty good - no idea whats it like to program though
beautiful short video. all round professionalism 
gotta think about effects now. no real reverb on this. i could pass it through my jdxi or maybe i will finally get an audio interface, that would allow me to use effects from within the DAW i think? would this work in real time? third option is to buy expensive dedicated effect boxes.
Yeah can run any synth through a DAW - i run all mine through Live, then put software FX on them to my heart's content
that's what i am going to try.
getting an audio interface and valhalla shimmer, and their free delay (echo)
found this, sounds fucking amazing. not entirely sure how it was done, but i guess it is a cover of Lolo - Why.

Sounds like a ReFX Vanguard
troll.
the reality is though, you couldn't tell the blind difference between vanguard and analogue

Sad part is im not trolling.

If it was my decision, I'd wait until after Behringer's synth hits the streets before buying another cheap analog synth.
there's no way behringer can bring the same quality for that price.

all the experts who reviewed the minilogue said they were very surprised they managed to bring it in at under 500 bucks.
behringer don't have the experience korg do in this field. and aren't they a budget gear company? not known for their quality, from my perception anyway. i mean the akai rhythm wolf is cheap...
The 'experts' talk bollocks at the best of time. Most of them worship analogue as though it were some sort of magic elixir, when in fact it's nothing more than repurposed radio bits. It came in under 500 bucks because it has quite a few significant design compromises, many of which don't matter to the noobs that buy them. It's not a bad synth, it's just built to a price.
The 'magic' is in the circuit board design and the Minilogue fails here. It just doesn't sound that good.
Behringer purchased Midas, who are experts in this field. The videos so far show that their new synth (which was built by Midas) sound way, waaaaay better than the Minilogue.

nick batt from sonicstate is good, marc doty also, although he is a bit anal for me. he certainly loved it. none of them were fawning over it just because it was analogue. maybe other reviewers were.
if i want pure sound quality, i have omnisphere 2. analogue is supposed to sound raw.
minilogue ticks all boxes for me and is out now. its sound, coupled with a couple of good effects is amazing. and pretty sure the aesthetic of the behringer wont be in the same class either.
Nick Batt rarely gives anything a negative review as his channel is dependant on manufacturers sending him product.
Marc Doty's channel is where you go if you want to listen to somebody waffle on about dreary detail and then show you how shit a synth could have sounded in 1978.
Analogue is not 'supposed' to sound raw, it just can sound raw. It can also sound thin, lush, creamy or fat. Depending on which synth you're using and how you program it to sound.

Yeah in a mix it becomes harder to tell, although it depends on the synth too. If you're using a full beans analogue like Minimoog, Micromac or old Oberheim it becomes much easier to hear the difference, but with these cheap ones you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference.
The funny thing is that you can do an A/B comparison with analogue and software and it'll either be identical or completely different depending on who made the comparison and what they're trying to show.
