Richard D James actually helped out with the development of the Monologue, made the suggestion of adding micro-tuning to it, and provided presets. likely he helped with the XD as well.
Great article. While I haven’t made much use of the Aphex Twin presets, the microtuning was one of the reasons I bought my Monologue. It will still have a place in my rig, regardless of whether I get a Minilogue XD
I liked Interstellar too, but its also kinda sounded in the highs steelhard and stiff to me. But hey, i also didn´t like the A4 sound first, then they did an OS update and bang i liked it.
Definately will check it out in the store.
First keyboard I’ve been seriously interested in a while. Something about the sound reminds me of a modernized version of those few late 80s/early 90s VA/sample/FM hybrid synths.
I was almost sold on the minilogue, but this version ticks all the boxes for me. Will buy for 4 voices of microtunable, analog filtered multi engine access alone! The analog voices will just be the icing on the cake
I cannot understand why the prologue doesn’t have microtuning now…
btw, everthing’s recallable and MIDI CC controllable, right? Otherwise must pass
So instead of the standard 12T equal temperament, you could have just intonation, or make the minor 3rd a quarter tone higher for a real blues sound, or just anything else weird and wonderful.
