The Korg Minilogue is a two VCO per-voice, four-voice, polyphonic analog synthesizer from Korg,[4][5] designed by Korg engineer and synthesizer designer Tatsuya Takahashi.[6] It was announced just prior to NAMM 2016,[7] and is priced new at $499.99 in the United States,[5] ¥55,000 in Japan[6] and £449 in the United Kingdom and Europe.[8] Its official release was preceded by leaks which caused media speculation.[9]

The minilogue features eight distinct voice-modes:
