Basic parameters
In this section, we’ll explain the basic parameters that make up a program.
The basic parameters are assigned to the knobs and switches on the front panel.
MASTER controls
To learn more about the OCTAVE button, see “Selecting and playing a program” (p.9).
TEMPO knob [BPM 56.0...240.0]
Use this parameter to adjust the tempo of the sequencer for each program in beats per minute
(BPM). When the voice mode is “ARP”, the value set here is also used for the arpeggiator tempo.
PORTAMENTO knob [0...127]
This parameter controls the portamento time.
The further the knob is turned to the right, the longer the portamento time will be.
VOICE MODE section
The minilogue xd features four analog synthesizer voices. By chang-
ing the Voice mode, you can combine and allocate the voices in
different ways.
There are four voice modes. Use the VOICE MODE TYPE switch to
select a voice mode.
Turning the VOICE MODE DEPTH knob adds different effects for
each Voice mode.
