32 Classic Patches for Korg Minilogue XD 

Thanks Oliver for your comment ! For your own patching, as we say in french: "it's by forging that we become a blacksmith" 😉

With the most recent firmware update (like what, two years ago?) it will show you the original setting of each knob and switch. It can take a lot of looking (and possibly menu diving) to figure out what all the settings are, but an asterisk will display next to the numbers onscreen when you hit the original value. I haven't done it myself because it seems tedious and I can usually figure most of it out, but I've used that to puzzle out parts of patches that I couldn't tell by listening. Could be helpful for you.

So I'm going to be getting aXD and I want some nice ambient patches I know this is a old thread but is this still around and how difficult is it to download?

Thanks Simon !

Thanks Felipe !

Thanks ! :-)

Thanks Axutin !

Thanks Jonathan !

Thanks Erik !

@@push-pull3647 Really nice useable patches, and not a ripoff (like some),at only 5 bucks, cheers mate. I look forward to more.........

Thanks Chris ! Often, play with less voices stimulates creativity 😉

Nah its easy and fun to do it yourself, sound designing is the reason why i bought this thing

Where do you get these? Can you give a link so I can see a pic of what you’re talking about?

@@JayaLove you can get the thread protectors at any ace hardware store or pretty much any hardware store. Black is the only size that fits. The feel of the switches are improved with this modification as well. They’re very inexpensive as well.

Excellent track from an excellent band !!

Same question

Thank for your comment, Steve ! When a patch is loaded in the buffer memory of the XD, you have to write it at the slot you want. Ok, it's longer, but you can write them exactly where you want and in the order you want. 😎

Hello Thomas, thanks for your comment. And no: no processing, no comp, no eq, no additional fx. Just the straight sound of the MLXD ! ;-)

Thank you for the reply! I really like to doing all the stuff in the preset (and not in post)

Hi, I'll try tonight or tomorow 😎 You've got my mail, let me yours !

@@push-pull3647 c'est fait, j'ai utilisé le mail à partir de la facture.

Also, just purchased this pack, and loving it

Hi Davo, thank's for your comment ! 😊A solo trombone ? Mmm... why not ! The problem is that typical play of the trombone is hard to play on a keyboard. But I'll try for the next collection !

I have some old recordings (short samples) off an old ENSONIQ ESQ-1 Synth/keyboard of trombones would these be useful to you? is there a way I can get in contact with you that is not over the RU-vid comments section - I am currently using my nephews RU-vid account to reply, I have just followed you on GumRoad after purchasing it last week (2nd or 3rd of Nov.)

@@Davo159789 I've done a kind of "trombone" patch 😆You can contact me via my e-mail on Gumroad.

Thanks for your purchase ! 👍 Currently working on a fourth bank... (but shhh... 😉)

I found the tracks Analord: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6bMHbTeWZvE.html Analogue Bubblebath: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XYqbWueAqV8.html

No, it's automatic: the patch knows wich FX to use, internal or User. You can try with the "Crumar" patch: it uses the Buckets Mod FX. :-)

Hi ! Simply with a sustainr pedal 😎

Hi, the mod fx settings are stored with every patches, like any other parameter. But just be careful to install the mod fxs in the correct slots ! All is in the pdf. 😎

Hi ! 😎 In fact for each patch, the XD only knows wich user slot number to load. But doesn't know what you have installed in the slot. That's why the pdf provided in the pack tell you WHERE install the user mod FX. If you've already installed something in the slots 1 and 2, you can install the mod FX needed where you want BUT you'll have to edit the patches to call the right algorithm. In the pdf you have a table telling you wich patch calling wich FX.

@@push-pull3647 Thanks for the quick reply. I have installed only two user modlutation FX. Hera slot 1 and Buckets in slot 2. :(

@@crusterzan Very strange.... Sure you have upload them IN the XD ? (not only in the librarian) And they sound different, but "how" different ?

Hi Michael, sorry about your issue... Maybe because the MOD Effect ? Please make sure you're using the right one.

Totally figured it out. Maybe next time, I’ll do the read me first like a grown ass man. I already had those hammonds eggs effects, but not in the right slots. Patches are insane! Thank you! Creative fuel for days.

@@AlchmstDsgn Hahaha ! Cool that you've found the readme file ! And thank you for your purchase. 😎

Hi Gilles, did you manage to load the user mod fx now ?

Push-Pull well I think I did but when i’m scrolling through the fx I don’t see them. ( on the xd ) on the software i drag & dropped everything on the spot like the readme file says.

@@gillesd855 Normaly on the XD a new folder named USER is created in the MOD section. Then you can choose your FX via SHIFT+SELECT.

@@push-pull3647 didn't know about the shift + select. found it! thanks again man. great patches

@@gillesd855 Cool ! 😊👍

I believe it would work

That a big difference in price... The Minilogue XD uses four separate analogue circuits while the Juno X uses one special processor to render the voices by calculating them...like a VST synth. That particular Roland synth doesn't sound bad (like the Gaia 2) so it not easy to decide. Maybe you should look for a used Minilogue XD.

I know. Check out a refurbed one from korg UK, I got mine about 5 days ago,. Full warranty and cheaper.

@@allgonewrongful Got one from Holland. They are in plentiful supply in the EU countries

@@robaire.b Enjoy! Checkout hammondeggs music he makes digital oscillators you can import into your xd.

Hi Julian ! Got nearly the same problem here: the driver is ok on the Mac, but doesn't work on Win10. Try with another computer...

@@push-pull3647 damn, well at least its not just me, bloody annoying tho

Don't use the Korg driver when you've installed a newer iOS (Catalina and onward I think). The Mac's standard drivers will work just fine. If you already installed the Korg driver, uninstall it and try again. No problems here whatsoever with Big Sur.

There are a couple of synth knob distributors. Coolercaps I think is what you are seeing on this xd.

Benedict, here:store.djtechtools.com/products/chroma-caps-knobs-and-faders

@@GrootsieTheDog thank you!

The factory reset procedure (and its options) is explained on page 47 of the owner's manual. ;-)

Yes, got the reset, no problem. The problem is, that when I try to install the patches, they all go to slot one and only he last one that was installed works. I had no problem with the two choruses. The information, on how to install sound packs, on the Korg website and in the owner's manual is a bit sparse, so I'm really struggling to get the patches installed :-/

@@thestonmichaeljones4724 When you "install" a patch, in fact it goes to a temporary slot. When it's in this temporary slot, WRITE it to a free slot you want on your XD. Yes, it's true that the librarian is a bit tricky...

Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by 'WRITE it to a free slot?'

@@thestonmichaeljones4724 Sorry for my bad english, "free" is not a good translation, "empty " is better. So you press WRITE and select an empty slot. When the XD is new, the memory slots 201 to 499 are empty.

Hi Thorsten ! No sorry, that's not the same machines.

Hi Ryan, sorry but no chip or card to insert in the XD. The only way to transfer the patches is via usb with the Korg Librarian. Maybe with the computer of a friend ?

Hi Michael, sorry but no: that's not the same synth.

Hi ! Good news: I own a Prologue for one month now. So stay tuned ! 😎

@@push-pull3647 Are this the "Super Knob" with 180 Degrees?

@@FreiherrVonHohebach Yes, exactly ! The "normal" 180° knob. 😎 You have a drawing on the link above.

Yes, in fact you can :)

Hi Miguel, we will find a solution.😊 Give me a valid email and I'll write to you.

Hi ! No precise song, just some improvised chords...

Reminded me of this song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UoOIZfIlUuQ.html but I reckon, that this melody might relativly common on other tracks.

Hi Stepan, I don't know ! 🤣Just some improvised chords...

@@push-pull3647 so beautiful ♫

sounds abit scarface

Hi ! No, because the're differents synths.

@@push-pull3647 well that's unfortunate. I thought presets could work on all of the Logue devices.

In french pop, maybe this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ejNF9kV5fg4.html

@@push-pull3647 Never heard this song before. Weird. I think the song I think of is probably by a really famous band. But a less known one. These chords have this final feel to me. I hope that it remember it one day. Thanks for your answer and great patches!

Chord changes over a pedal note with a snappy sawtooth polysynth sound was a rather common resource back then. Check out Jean Michel Jarre's "Orient Express" from The Concerts in China for a good example.

Hi ! As already said, they are differents synths. And I don't own any Prologue.

Hi Stephen, I own a Prologue for one month now. So stay tuned ! 😉

@@push-pull3647 YESSSSSS!!!! Thank you for the update.

you could probably get pretty close, but it looks like he is using the Multi-Engine on the XD for a lot of these. I doubt they could be used on the original minilogue.

No, not always, but often !😊 And most often in FM mode.

Thanks for the reply, I want to buy your library’s but I’m more into the analog engine of the Minilogue patches than to use the combined 2 digital and analog. That was my question

@@fjfrancois Oh sorry... I just checked: 15 patches out of 32 do not use the multi-engine.

Push-Pull thank you buddy

Yes ! :-)

No, not the same synth, sorry.

@@push-pull3647 so you guys are still available? Do you still have patches for the XD I want to get one soon but don't really like the factory presets. Also what do you think is best the regular or the xd?

@@teatime2595 My preference is for the XD. 😎

Maybe with a stereo ping pong delay and Chorus pedal.

I don’t own the freak but I do own this. Aside from the keybed it’s very sturdily built. It’s also very versatile. It’s not great for super wide sounding string sounds. I’m wondering if OP has used any external processing to get a wider sound. Maybe it’s just my aging ears 😂

@@KBizzy it depends on what you're running it through - massively - . Headphones directly through the output or a basic powered mixer will never sound as good as through say, a 120w Trace Elliot amp with a good speaker. That said he could have had simply added a bit of reverb or gain, or just tweaked the settings on the synth to sound bigger through a better understanding of the instrument. Edit: He said it's straight from the instrument with no post processing. So it could still be running through an amp, and taking the DI from that, but he suggests it is DI'd straight from the synth. The small % tweaks make a big difference to the overall sound.

@@brucewillis542 yeah. It’s a great little synth. The onboard effects are plentiful and sound really good.

Minilogue.

used minilogue xd is what I chose. Lovin it. Reason I got it is because I already get a lot of option paralysis and theres just more than I need on the minifreak, plus the analog warmth of the xd is real!

Thanks Jens for your purchase. Do you have followed the link on Gumroad ? It gives you a zip file. 😎

Custom third party knobs

DJ Tech Tools got them

@@JUNO-69 Where can you get such knobs?

Jean Paul, je suis en train de faire le, nécessaire pour la maison de la viande ? Aussi j'ai besoin de plus de temps en temps voulu et je suis encore à quelle adresse je dois faire un petit mail de ce message ??????? Et on l'entend, je vous remercie :)
