Korg Minilogue XD Desktop Module

I bought a new synth! Kind-of. I've traded my Minilogue-XD (full-size version with integrated keyboard) for the desktop/modular alternative. Modular Minilogue XD Why? Partly, because it fits on my desk better. Partly, because it changes the way you engage with the instrument. It makes a huge difference: the ivory keys come with so much cultural precedent. The module version of the synth gains a switch that lets you use the 16 sequencer step buttons as note inputs, so you can still play the thing solo. But the emphasis moves away from note generation and more firmly towards tone. Both versions have a lovely stained wood back, which you never see; the modular one has a hint of that at the front as well (which you do see). I plan to eventually buy a MIDI keyboard that could drive it, and other things: possibly an Arturia KeyStep or Minilab, but there's no rush on that. (It's about time I recorded and shared something I produced on this)
