Creating Sounds - Korg Minilogue XD Owner's Manual

Creating sounds

You can edit the parameters that make up a program, in order to modify the sound as you like.
There are two ways to create sounds on the minilogue xd.
• You can select an existing program that's close to the sound you want, and edit that program's
parameters to achieve your own custom sound.
• You can also create your own sound from scratch from an init program.
Editing an existing program
1.
In Program mode, select the program that you want to use as a starting point.
2.
Use the knobs and switches on the front panel.
Take a moment to consider the differences between the current program and the sound you
have in mind, and use the front panel controls to edit the necessary parameters.
For details on how the pitch, sound, and volume change when using the knobs and
Tip:
switches, refer to "Basic parameters" (p.15).
We recommend that you save the program on the minilogue xd after editing the sound.
Any edits that you make will be lost if you turn off the power or recall a different program.
See "Saving a program" (p.14) for details.
Creating a program from scratch
To create a program from scratch, we recommend that you use the panel load function. This will
load the current settings of each front panel control and provide a simple starting point for your
sonic creations.
As you explore the front panel controls, you can see how each parameter will affect the sound,
making it easier to understand how each section of the minilogue xd functions and how the pa-
rameters interact.
You can also create programs after initializing them (p.37 "Initialize Program").
Panel load function
When the PLAY button is pressed while holding down the SHIFT button, the panel load func-
tion will be enabled. The sound will change to reflect the panel settings, and "Load Panel" will be
indicated in the display.
