I appreciate some of the detailed video editing you did, for example cutting away to the Volca Modular knobs and *showing* us the effect instead of relying on description. It really shows an attention to detail that can be missing from some synthfluencer commentary. Thanks!
This still has so much potential, I hope they didn't give up on it already, after it not selling as good as expected. And I also hope the SDK community will release great drum engines for this. I don't own one so I don't know if you can use more than one SDK engine and if you can resample easily. But there is tremendous room for improvement. The Prologue and its smaller siblings became much more versatile over time and I hope this does not get forgotten. I love Korg's innovative ideas mixed with traditional tools and I would be sad if this ends up deterring them from producing drum machines in the future. Same with the new Kaoss pad that thing is on my "I'll buy once they perfected it" list and so is the Drumlogue. I ended up buying a prologue again after selling it and I now use it every chance I get. Korg if you are listening, give the Drumlogue and Kaoss pad thing more love please and I'll buy them both. A hopeful fan.
Well looks like they already gave up on the SQ64 still can’t even have different drum track lengths like you can in the Drumlogue, and this is now the same age as when they stopped updating SQ64. Not a good sign.
Drumlogue is abandonware now. Commercial failure due to bad reception, mildly overpriced at the start, and the target audience is bad with sound design and hardware, or so goes my pet theory. I love my Drumlogue.
@@Jason75913 let's see if what I've heard is real, and another update may be coming. I just love my one too, a killing machine and huge sounding that grows amazingly with the user developed synths ;) Let's see! And instant classic
Great video. Its my main drum machine love it. Wish it was easy to see in the dark. Maybe need a glow in dark overlay. Like to jam low light. Nice breakdown brother
sick! was hyped to hear your thoughts on this. After watching the video in full, I'm not sure I'd get it new but I'd definitely try it. I have the drumbrute impact and I'm satisfied with that. Was saving up for a Perkons but ended up buying other gear 😅 definitely want to upgrade at drum machine sometime this or next year
Thanks man for checking it out. Yeah, thats why I got it used as well. Its a fun little machine with some limitations. Definitely worth the price now more than before IMO.
Seems like a steal at $300. My problem with some Korg devices hasn't been the sound or functionality, it's the experience of using it. I started on a Novation Circuit years ago and using that is just sublime. Everything is so intuitive. I moved on to the Roland TR-8s and some Elektron devices, and even those are pretty quick to get going. This seems a little harder than it needs to be, but it sounds great to me. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for your review, it's a very interesting product indeed. And in some way it is more advanced than the XD, for example its Multiengine is newer generation, and it also does provide an input that is missing so much in the XD and even the Prologue as well as a USB host input. They could have made at least the device port USB-C for compatibility and future-proofing. I have the XD, but I also easily see it playing well with my Roland SH-4D as a mini live-oriented setup.
Have fallen hard for this Darth Vader Drummer, it’s replaced a bunch of others because it has something they don’t: a different character. As someone who doesn’t enjoy trad drum machine sounds it has been a big surprise!
Thanks for the review! Did you try out Lillian, the Mutable Instruments Braids Plugin for Drumlogue? I would be curious if this is well integrated with the drumlogue.
Pro and perfect for live. Small and just put a swan neck led in the back usb (IKEA)I have a couple drumlogue’s 2 sample slots are insane using the tuning. The huge sound of the 32bit samples is impressive. Use an external analog filter
Good review. People complain about the kick or snare, but this machine has extensive onboard sound design tools--- EQ, compressor, pitch shift, etc., plus six outputs to send different sounds to external effects. This instrument has unlimited potential, especially when you can load custom samples of literally any sound. I don't know why people are so critical... maybe they expect to press one button and automatically be given a perfect drum sound without any effort?
I think so. But even in the past drum machines were ran through EQ and whatever else. So yeah raw dogging the analog percussion isn’t going to sound perfect until you give it the good old fashioned touch up.
I’m grateful for this video, so thank you for going to the effort of nailing down its details. I ask others to consider not buying this “drum machine”. I have seen them sitting at LM for years and no one wants them. It’s a waste of effort imo. Korg has let itself get lost competing with more capable and cheaper groove boxes since at least the late 2010s. It’s sounds are limited, the user interface and sequencer look clumsy to boot, the format you’re expected to learn is something else...? Save your money with something that has aged well, like a Novation circuit. You have a fun and comfortable pad deck, sequencer and motion record knobs. They also have great midi integration and a fully featured software app that helps arrange your samples and sounds. There are a lot of creators with free Novation circuit sample packs, or ones that are well priced anyways. The new ones are great, affordable upgrades to any setup. The new digitakt 2s will probably bring down the price of other elektron gear in the coming years as well.
Thanks for making this candid video. I’ve been on the fence about this machine because it’s such a good price for a hybrid type thing but I don’t think I could fully enjoy this thing given the cons.
@@Tiger.Arcadedefinitely very helpful. Makes me want to hold out for a better version from them or just fork out the cash for a Syntakt (or just stick with the plethora of drum machines I already have.)
Best Drumcomputer, it needs one more update to 1.3. Further more this thing should be 700,- the size is perfect for travelling and performance. I use a swan neck led light in the usb port for good view in the dark. Its gonna be a classic
@@Tiger.ArcadeTighter midi as master. USB midi is to slow. Sample in function would be Nice but in reality i make 32 bit on my 32bit soundcard..The Tom’s would benefit from wider range of settings.
Hey, Tiger! Yes, I think it IS INDEED finally worth it at $299.00. Have you checked out the plug-ins by Sine Vibe for many of the -logue machines? I think there is a new synth for the DRUMLOGUE and many synths and FX for the Minilogue and Prologue. They will likely be half price for Black Friday, so it is a great time to pick them up at a good deal. I also notice that a lot companies that sell patches also mark them down at that time as well.
I have question about Drumlogue; the user manual doesn't mention anything about how to save data (sequencing data, etc.) to PC. How is it done? Is it even possible? The manual doesn't even explain about naming format for importing user samples to Drumlogue. Thank you in advance!
I’m not sure of a way to save sequence data to your pc but I do know how to get samples on your Drumlogue and the naming schema. I did a video on this! I have a playlist for the Drumlogue on my channel. You may find more helpful videos there. ✌️
@@Tiger.Arcade My pleasure! I don't own a drumlogue but I've heard plenty of videos where they've used master (and probably per part) fx very nicely to get sounds akin to those I hear on Dub Element. I like the onboard fx on my Minilogue XD ('verb and stereo ping-pong stuff) and I LOVE me some good old-fashioned guitar amp spring reverb. Again, nice vid--Cheers!
Great in-depth and honest review 👌. Owning 2 XDs, shopping around for a drum machine, hesitating with Erica Synths LXR-02. How would they compare from Live Performance, Ergonomics and Versatility standpoints? If one can tell 😊
@@sub-jec-tiv I've seen countless videos about the Drumlogue alone, but I was looking for videos specifically comparing the Drumlogue to the LXR-02, strangely enough I can't find that many, hence my question.
Nice vid mate. Have had my unit a few months climbing tha learning curve, menu memory. It’s slow going w time I can spend on it.

No worries man! Lmk if there’s anything specific you have questions about and I could potentially do a video on it. Next week I’ll be releasing a video on how to add samples to the machine and use them. ✌️

@@Tiger.Arcade also if you hant already seen, @boochow8625 has made a few synths and vids for Dlouge tha are worth checking out and def within scope of interest.
I have been converting my studio in upgrading sound and power quality. Yesterday the drumlogue got his own Linear power supply. (9v centre pos.) sounds more organic love it.
Sent mine back after having it for a bit more than 3 weeks. I really tried to like it and I definitely got some good sounds out of it but in general it's just not really a good drum machine regarding the overall sound of it. I used EQs, compressors, saturators (also analog ones) but it never had enough punch to my ears and always sounded a bit too thin compared to my other analog drum machines.
I like analog snare, kick, and toms; ( so that works ) but i like sampled hats and cymbals, ( so that works also ) but I want FX hat and cymbal samples ( the ones with holes in them ), because they are easier to get into a mix. the problem is finding a sample pack like that, ( can't find a sample pack like that anywhere ); the only solid cymbals I would want would be a splash, or be part of a stack.
Dunno why companies both with Analogue kicks or anything infact as if you get them wrong it's a bad unit, that kick sucks when they could've made it 8 channels the multi engine...
Thanks for this video. Like & sub done ✅ Few questions if I may : - Can we route the audio aux in through the internal FX or is it just a pass thru ? - Can the sidechain function be set to affect internal sounds as well as sound coming from the aux in ? - Can you route more than one instrument on one of the four audio outputs ? - Do we have an easy and accessible mute/solo function for each instrument ? - Can we export a loop or chain to a .wav perfect loop ?
Yes you can external audio and give it internal fx. No you cannot route multiple instruments to individual outputs. You can through the general main output only. There is an easy mute and unmute option. I don’t believe there’s a way to export loops.
Great vid! Sounds like it's not for me. I feel better about this type of content versus "influencers" and I'm trying to find more people who create music and share what works rather than what are basically high quality ads
At 600 it’s a rip off. At 300 is a good value. I’m not sure it’s a better value than say a digitakt at 400-500, I own both and a sq64, but im considering using my digitakt be a midi controller sampler with this as my primary drum machine

That’s what made me avoid the drumbrute, the sound. Just not for me. This one def sounds better for analog with more refining controls and built in EQ.
Interesting - Sweetwater and Guitar Center no longer have Drumlogue listed new, as if it’s being discontinued. Korg UK uploaded a Drumlogue-centric video only about a week ago. 🤔🤨
I don’t get why they chose a waveform somewhere between triangle and sawtooth. For a kick. It’s like they expect everyone to be making warehouse techno
I really want to like it but as with the Korg Prologue it has some strange design choices that stop it being great. Korg know how to drop the ball. lol
I do appreciate your video, but this thing looked like a lark to me, I don’t know what they were thinking with this pain in the butt…. It doesn’t sounds like it’s a lot of fun. A lot of the stuff you say you would have liked to see in the Drumlogue can be found on a lot of released Roland or Elektron gear like the TR-8S, the * mc707* or an Octatrack MK1. A higher price yes but you can do way more in sound design, midi, lfos and EQ. Even the sound character feels really limited. A Novation Circuit is way more fun the play around with than this thing, and cheaper!
The sound has it own character a lil tin and thin to me but has character, and i wish it took the nts-1 user sdk's, The menu diving and low memory and only one user sdk fx slot was a bummer the price was too high at 600$ worth it at 400$ but price dropped fast that says something. Korg from the DJ device to all the stuff released at Namm seems overpriced and remakes/clones, nothing new. And the new kaoss pad cool and nts-1 mk2 cool but ya have to build them yourself why lol i think Korg needs to listen to the people and make an electribe 3 that will get them back in the Game .
tell the truth. we are all waiting for a real emx-1 mk2 with steroids, hi-cinnectivity and a linked librairian /native sequencer better that the wavestate one. 😅
Go somewhere else if you don’t like my vids. There are plenty of demo vids on this. I enjoy talking about gear as much as I do playing them. It’s that simple.

If it were even $350 on release, people wouldn’t have savaged it, i think.

It’s a really limited synth. You get more powerful sythn control over a $50 jt-4000 than you do with the internal synths today.

Which part, the analog portion? Because the rest is just digital samples other than then multi engine mono synth.
the kick has no punch, the snare also and legs a pitch envelope

The sound has it own character a lil tin and thin to me but has character, and i wish it took the nts-1 user sdk's, The menu diving and low memory and only one user sdk fx slot was a bummer the price was too high at 600$ worth it at 400$ but price dropped fast that says something. Korg from the DJ device to all the stuff released at Namm seems overpriced and remakes/clones, nothing new. And the new kaoss pad cool and nts-1 mk2 cool but ya have to build them yourself why lol i think Korg needs to listen to the people and make an electribe 3 that will get them back in the Game .
I think the price dropped because no one else felt it was worth it at that price. People would rather go for a tr-8s or digitakt used at that price.
I swear I think or look at a product and you’re reviewing it or talking about it the next video 😂
💀💀💀
tell the truth. we are all waiting for a real emx-1 mk2 with steroids, hi-cinnectivity and a linked librairian /native sequencer better that the wavestate one. 😅
Sample player. Not a sampler.
Correct, didn’t even realize I was saying the wrong thing. Thanks!
I hate the color of it wish they did something different instead of copying elektron I wish it brighter or silver knobs something
You could always change out end cheeks and knobs to spice it up a bit I suppose.
Why are you deleting my legitimate comments?
I haven’t deleted anything. YT can remove comments automatically or filter them for review. I don’t see anything for review though, sorry! 🤷♂️
Really weird. I tried to post it twice and it just immediately disappeared...until this one. @@Tiger.Arcade
It keeps saying some error occurred....weird.

@@noisetheorem feel free to message me on Instagram if you have any questions related to the product.

Filthy intro line❗
Thanks dude!
Too much talking.
More demos coming soon
-1 random fwd yields more & more talk - plz shut fup & play it
Go somewhere else if you don’t like my vids. There are plenty of demo vids on this. I enjoy talking about gear as much as I do playing them. It’s that simple.
