only one track that loads Logue SDK plugins ?!
definitely my biggest gear disappointment in 2022.
moves from Ā«must buyĀ» to Ā«well, maybe somedayĀ» category for me.

Am I the only one thinking āok, the same drum machine re-made all over again, and again and againā¦ā? Sincerely, the more time passes the more I appreciate how forward thinking the Machinedrum wasā¦ I should get one (again)ā¦
Also, why nobody thought about creating a sort of Nord Drum 2 with a decent sequencer??? Iām so so disappointed with this industryā¦ I think I will never come back to hardware again.
I had big expectations on the digital and plugin side of the Drumlogue but now I see Iām definitely not the target for thisā¦

Okayā¦ Maybe not bad for a āfirst drum machineāā¦ But why should I buy it instead of a TR8s?
Im sure there is fun to be had with it, but yeah it isnāt sounding particularly interestingā¦ The sample side seems quite limited, and I seem to remember a lot of the developers doing SDK stuff feeling a bit burned by Korg also, makes me wonder how many are going to be jumping in for a round 2.

Elektron had redefined modern idm (or whatever you want to call it) while all the older, traditional companies are left floundering in that particular market.

An anus can synthetize great snares and other drums sounds. Even AnalOgue bass sounds, whistles, and much more. So whatās the problem ??

Yeah and even modern Elektron devices are not that innnovative anymore (although Syntakt has some great ideas tbh)ā¦ I know the industry is under a lot of pressure but I feel the issue is not about digital components or whatever but about ideas, boldness and approachā¦ I feel all the good ideas are already there, I just donāt understand how is it so difficult to any company to take them all and make a great forward thinking product.
Iām sure on the modular side thereās a lot more creativity and risk-taking, but I think Iām not asking much requesting innovative instruments for a traditionally innovative musical styleā¦ Iām annoyed by this industry conservadurism, theyāre already walking fossils.

You could buy a Nord Drum 2 and a decent sequencer?
Thereās also a lot of companies going out of business.
Thereās plenty of bold ideas out there. Thereās a company making synths out of trees for fuckās sake.
Yep, Drumlogue isnāt what a lot of people wanted. Maybe this is shortage related, who knows, but Korg are a pretty conservative company, so Iām not sure we should be expecting much better from them in the current climate.

Also, the UX is horribleā¦ come onā¦ no dedicated knobs for the digital engines for instanceā¦
I stopped watching at that point. Letās back to more important things.
Not every drum machine will push the envelope, especially at this price point! The Drumlogue is almost a perfect reflection of the Minilogue: itās a higher entry level instrument built on the reputation of analog circuits.

First reaction
This looks pretty poor to me. Thereās no way on earth Iād ever consider this over a tr8s. One of the worst aspects is the design and layout.
Ultimately though everything about it just felt conventional. Like Iāve seen it all before and it sounded better.
I like korg but they need to do better than this.

Hefty price for what it is. Hmm and meh from all the demos I have seen so far. This one is easy pass ā¦ TR8s hands down
Wow, such a disappointment after the initial hype.
4 analog parts and samples? I expected it to shine with digital synths comings from their volcas, electribes and SDK engine, but they forgot to put their most attractive feature in there 
The multi engine there seems such an afterthought a joke, no dedicated controls, 3 algos, and synth-oriented.
Itās a shame they never tried to make a good replacement for their ER-1, especially in the Volca format. Even by todayās standard, itās still rocking and has its own character. Canāt really say the same about the drumlogueā¦

those demos do absolutelly nothing to me. nothing. now, is it mine or the machineās issue? Edit. At 8:18 there was a glimpse of hope but that vanished quicklyā¦
Thank God it costs over 600 euros.
With syntakt (i hope for sample player machine) Iām settled.
1 x digital Track? And the Sample Tracks are seperate? Guys itĀ“s 2022. Make it modular for god sake.
Not interessested sadly after all this time had pretty high hopes, but with one digital trackā¦nope
