The Korg Minilogue is a polyphonic analog synthesizer released in 2016 by Korg.[1] It offers users four-voice polyphony with two analog VCOs per-voice and was designed to be affordable.[3] It was designed by Korg engineer and synthesizer designer Tatsuya Takahashi,[4] who said "the concept of the Minilogue was to build an analog synthesizer that doesn't rely on the fame and success of an old synth".[5]

An updated version, the Minilogue XD was released in 2019,[6] and a limited edition Minilogue Bass was released in 2023.[7]
