about

Roughly a year ago I purchased a Korg Minilogue XD as my first hardware synthesizer. I was immediately overwhelmed by the complexity of it. 28 knobs, 15 switches... Quite a bit to wrap your head around with no prior experience with hardware synths. Not to mention, I'm not a keyboard player. Some folks would say this was an impulse buy, and those folks are correct.

After a couple of attempts to get a project together that I liked with the use of the Minilogue, I decided to shelf it. I ultimately got discouraged, and let the unit sit next to my Push 2, which gets used every single time I decide to compose music.

Well, over the course of that year, this device sat dormant on my desk. It collected a nice coating of dust from sheer lack of use.

At points, I was thinking "Man, I should just sell this and get some more software synths." But, having already purchased Serum, I didn't really feel like I needed more plugins or VSTs.

Fast forward to Saturday June 13th, I decide to turn on the ol' Korg and give it another go.

My wife (Gabrielle) always tells me to really mull over decisions before I make them... And I was certainly glad I did. She is my dependable voice of reason, and also my biggest advocate for musical creativity.

Something over the course of the past year must have "clicked" despite this instrument sitting dormant on my desk, because now I love this hardware synth and have no intention of selling it. There's something warm and artistically sloppy about a hardware synthesizer that software just doesn't really have the ability to emulate. That is where the magic lies.

Anyways, here's two tracks I wrote with it this weekend. Thanks for listening. More music soonish. 🐩🙃
