IMO Korg have shot themselves in the pad by not releasing this 18 months ago. By now the world has progressed (pandemic or not), and I think your Pro's and Con's were spot on. Things like 32MB samples or non-controllable single multi-engine at a time are not enticing propositions. I was waiting for this device - minilogue XD meet Electribe R machine - but now when it's finally here - I dunno. I think this more like Volca Beats/Keys/NTS-in-one rather than Electribe RXD I was imagining. And aesthetically (I know it's only my personal opinion), it reminds of some basic furniture I made back in the 90's when because I had low quality timber i painted it black - that's what those sides look like to me 😄

Like several other people have said, I came here pretty excited to see what this could do but ended up not that impressed. The TR8S is great and I still go back to your in depth look at that one to remind myself of everything it can do (I just wish it had a song mode). Yeah yeah yeah it's not real analog but it sounds great. So far I'm not really liking the sound of the analog parts on the Drumlogue. It kind of sounds dull to me like the OG Drumbrute. No real oomph or character like a real 808, Vermona DRM, or even the Drumbrute Impact. I love making kits on the TR8S made up of various classic TR sounds mixed with samples and fm drums. Everything sounds great in that thing. I'm not a fan of Roland's fake analog synthesizers but they nailed it with the TR8S. Those tiny Korg controls are also a big turnoff.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted a pro version of the all too often slept-on Volca Drum. The simplicity of the two layers and their controls + there is nothing else out there that sounds like it. I don’t think Korg would have been cannibalizing the sales of their 150$ entry level drum machine, but they probably would have had a bunch of people upgrade. I guess maybe the lower sales volume of the Volca Drum + what is popular and being bought from their competition informed their choices. Oh well, maybe Elektron can make it, or someone can create a kickstarter campaign.

Great Tutorial!! Thanks!!! >>>> I couldn't find a single video on KZitem showing how to use the DL with a DAW, which is a shame. Would love to see that. Unfortunately none of the MIDI ROUTING channels seem to record the full pattern from the DL to a DAW, which is extremely disappointing. Also the memory of the DL is extremely small, so importing our own samples is almost a joke. There is also no option to export and save your patterns out of the Drumlogue, like for ex. the Drumbrute has. With such small memory, the user is forced to erase partners constantly to free space, not allowing the user to store their previous works or be able to recall them after. This option should exist to compensate for the lack of memory.

This is a drum machine, not a sampler. Maybe in your simple mind, this is "rookie" because you are used to tens of gigabytes of silly sounds and samples which you won't use ever. For a drum machine (it literally says that on the box) 32MB for custom samples is more than enough. If you use 2 neurons in your brain and realize that individual drum samples are short and take around approx. 100kb which is 0.0977MB. Meaning you can import around 300-400 individual drum samples depending on their size. With onboard sounds and 1% of creativity, it would take your whole life to explore all the sounds you could make from it and you still wouldn't be able to try all combinations. Rookie.

I don't know, it feels a bit lackluster at the moment but we'll have to see what comes out in the future for the user engine. Like Korg have already done their homework with the Volca series so they know what features appeal to users. It would have been nice to see the MS-20 filter, Waveguide resonator or even the vacuum tube from the Nubass built in. Also would have been nice to have some kind of dedicated control element, that multiple parameters could be mapped to, for dj style build ups. Like the ribbon control from the emx/esx grooveboxes, having something like this that you could map multiple controls to would have been a nice addition to functionality. In this day and age nobody wants to use up a seperate pattern to create a fill pattern, it's just messy. Other grooveboxes have better ways of doing this, where the alternative pattern is contained in the original pattern.

Thank you for the review. It looks like an up date of the Electribe ER1 if you ask me and they were great fun and very creative. I really wish Nord would do something in the drum machine format.

Is it just me or does this sound like it is mostly limited to drum sounds from 1992? I wonder if it is intentionally meant to be retro in that specific way? Like C+C Music Factory wants their drum machine back.

This is a great drum-machine with some really good features, like motion record, the amazing sequencer and the third party programmable engine. Korg have delivered all this for a quarter of the price that the DSI Tempest was sold for and once again this was an excellent hour long review from Doctor Loopop.

it is only a fraction of what the tempest is my friend. the sound just doesnt compare to a well programmed tempest. totally different thing! similar display totally different sound. i think it would be hard to beat the tempest.. the tempest isnt even a drum machine its just a super powerful synth with pads and a more advanced sequencer instead of keys :)

Interesting development, but I'm not thrilled with the Logue line at all. Very happy with my Arturia DrumBrute and Erica Synths / Sonic Potions LXR-02 drum synth. GREAT VIDEO, as usual, Loopop. This Drumlogue will please many customers and is a cool move by Korg. I may buy one after all.

MY FIRST EVENING WITH THE KORG DRUMLOGUE So I just unboxed mine. First impressions are that this thing is a step up from my old hardware... which consists of an E-Mu, a MicroKorg, and old Electribe ES-1s!! Out of the box, this thing sounds SICK!! I found noodling in the sequencer fairly intuitive... but I haven't explored all there is to explore with the sequencer. I mean, it's only been a few hours. As great as it sounds, it's not all peaches and cream. I am really confused about the midi... and it has become vexing. ATTEMPTING TO HOOK THE AKAI MPK MINI TO THE DRUMLOGUE I wanted to use the Akai MPK Mini to play the VPM/Noise/User synth but it does nothing. To clarify, it does receive power from the Drumlogue via the USB device port... the Akai MPK lights up... but doesn't seem to interact with the Drumlogue in any meaningful way. I have tried moving through all of the available channel listings, to no avail. ATTEMPTING TO HOOK THE ARTURIA KEYSTEP TO THE DRUMLOGUE I also tried using the Arturia Keystep with it via MIDI, but all I can get it to do is play the associated drum parts on the keyboard. Key 15 is the vpm/noise/user synth... but I can't play that chromatically throughout the Arturia Keystep's keyboard. Is there a way to see which sounds are assigned to which channels? Is there a way to make all the keys of the Keystep be chromatically assigned to the VPM/Noise/User synth? The internal sounds are fantastic and I live the analogue drum modeling! The sequencer is great and there is a lot of potential with creating all kinds of fascinating IDM and acid breaks/loops!! But I have hit a brick wall with hooking this thing up to a USB controller or a MIDI controller. Any help would be most appreciated!! ATTEMPTING TO HOOK DRUMLOGUE UP TO COMPUTER Another issue I am experiencing is that when I hook the USB host port to my computer, nothing happens. I don't think I can hook the USB device port to my computer. 🤔 In all the tutorials out there, the reviewers seem to breeze over the process for hooking the Drumlogue up to another USB or MIDI device. Unless when hooking the Drumlogue to a USB controller like the Akai MPK mini, it really is as easy as 'plug-&-play'... in which case, I'm starting to wonder if my Drumlogue has an issue with its USB ports, right out of the box?!? I welcome any insight that anyone here can provide. Thanks!
