The Drumlogue from Korg gets a 1.2.0 firmware update. It brings some new features, bug fixes and a lot more Sinevibe Nano synth action.
Update 1.2.0
Drumlogue is an exercise in mixing analogue and digital synthesis for a versatile and well-rounded percussive and groovebox experience. The big feature is the ability to run the SDK Logue engine expansions, which gives you a wide choice of tonal character. The engine enables the inclusion of the Nano Synth from Sinevibes, and the new firmware has given it a good revamp.
The Nano Synth tweaks include the ability to reset oscillator phase with new trigger events, a new notch filter type, and three additional distortion algorithms. Motion sequencing on the envelopes is better; the oscillators are beefier at the bottom end, have an increased detune range, and the overall sound is brighter.
Other improvements include sorting out file transfers, fixing tempo-synced delays, retaining tempo after a “Clear All Pattern” action and fixing a display issue when changing a step from Tie to Rachet.
The 1.2.0 update is free to all users.

Drumlogue
Combining digital synthesis, PCM sampling and multiple analog parts Drumlogue is hoping to offer a super wide range of possible sonic architecture. They say it has a revamped logue SDK for loading custom oscillators, effects and sample content.
It’s covered in knobs and a step-sequence row of buttons and is all about the hands-on performance. It has individual outputs for each channel. Information is scarce at the moment as this is a prototype with only a few published details and a sneak peek video.
Sounds very interesting and could bring an exciting take on the drum machine genre. Looking forward to hearing more about it. Here’s our reaction video, with the Gearnews team puzzling over where Korg is headed with the new Drumlogue:

Well it took us a while to get the money, and the price to drop, but we’re telling you now that the Drumlogue is THE techno drum machine. The reviews have not explored it well. Firstly the sidechain gives this machine a grit like no other. Secondly, on the six sample channels, the samples can be changed per step. Thirdly, it has the ‘bar reset’ that was put on the Volca Sample by firmware enthusiasts. But on the Drumlogue, it can be set PER STEP, meaning that on one sample track, you can have multiple samples playing at different steps, alternately, one time in 4 etc, on different passes of the same track. We can’t quite understand why this little beauty has had such bad reviews. Even with no user samples in it, the motion control per step lets you change the sounds on board quite drastically. With everything sidechained to the kick, and the master volume loud, it surely is one of the very best techno drum machines. Grab one cheap before Korg drop it.
