KorgSynths
4-voice analog polysynth with a Multi-Engine that accepts logue SDK units
The minilogue xd is a four-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer made by Korg. Each voice has two analog oscillators, a two-pole filter, two envelopes, an amp and an LFO, plus a digital Multi-Engine that offers noise, VPM and user oscillator types. It has modulation, delay and reverb effects that run at the same time, a 16-step sequencer with motion sequencing, and voice modes for poly, unison, chord and arpeggiator.
Custom firmware images for the minilogue xd are not known. What the community builds are user units made with the logue SDK: custom oscillators for the Multi-Engine and modulation, delay and reverb effects (.mnlgxdunit files, which are zip archives). Korg lists 16 user oscillator slots and 16 user effect slots. Units built with SDK 1.1-0 need system firmware 2.00 or later. They are loaded with Korg's Librarian application or the logue-cli command line tool, and run alongside the stock firmware rather than replacing it. logue-cli can also clear unit data from the instrument. Units built for the prologue, minilogue xd and the original NTS-1 digital kit are binary compatible with each other when the SDK version matches. The original minilogue has no unit support.
Three Game Boy-inspired oscillators for the minilogue xd, prologue and NTS-1: pulse with duty cycles, LFSR noise, and a wave channel with ten Pokemon Gold and Silver style wavetables.
Wavetable oscillator for the minilogue xd inspired by PPG Wave, using waves and wavetables from the PPG Wave 2.3 ROM, with wavecycle skew; untested on the prologue and NTS-1.

Open minilogue xd units by centrevillage: the MIST unstable harmonic oscillator and the lobit, pitchshift, reverse and stutter delay effects.
