Korg minilogue XD
The minilogue XD is an enthusiast-tier hybrid synth combining 4-voice analog with a digital multi-engine across 37 keys. The added digital engine broadens its palette well beyond a pure-analog poly, making it versatile for sound designers. The 37-key keybed is the limitation — full-size-key players will want a larger instrument.
