I know that this question has been asked many times both here and on other forums, but i have never been able to find an answer.

The monologue has a transposable sequencer, so i assume it wouldn't be very hard to do so with an update to the minilogue's firmware. So is the reason why this feature hasnt been implemented just that Korg want us to buy the monologue?

I really love the minilogue, however I am considering selling it and buying something different, because a transposable sequencer is a feature that i really would like to have.

Can anyone from Korg who is monitoring this site confirm or deny that this feature will ever be included in a firmware update for the minilogue?

Sorry to post something that gets asked so much, but maybe the more people who ask about it, the more likely they will implement it?

I agree with you, IMO it's the most important feature Korg could add....being that the cheaper monologue has it too I see no reason for the Minilogue to not have this functionality.

Please Korg, I agree with the original poster....please add a transpose function to the Minilogue's feature set! TY!

I agree adding transpose to the sequencer and a simple hold/latch function to hold a note to the next firmware update would’ve amazing. Please Korg!!!!!

Use Ableton. Have midi notes in a clip. Assign a range to that MIDI clip. Now you have a transposed step sequencer. In Ableton you have basically unlimited loop length and unlimited automation recording control, so this is far more capable than the monologue. Also menu diving on the monologue is a pain vs using Ableton.

Yeah, it's not all in the box, but using external hardware with a DAW through MIDI increases functionality greatly. You should be hooked up to a PC most times to also do a lot of sharing with the Sound Librarian anyway. All your patches should be stored on a harddrive, and you control patch changing through the PC.

The monologue functions are neat for sure, but if you're a bedroom musician like I am, the step sequencer, automation, and keyboard are all unnecessary since I have a better MIDI controller and I do all sequencing and automation in Ableton. I'd much prefer just having the knob and the analog sound engine, and let the PC control the sequencing and automation recording. I really bought the Monologue for the unique analog circuits and small footprint.

Well, there are two workarounds for your request

The first one is by changing the octave of the OSC, but keep in mind it won't work with both of them if one modulates the other

The second one is by setting the slide knob to pitch bend and set the bend up 7 notes (up a fifth) and down 5 notes (a fourth down).

By combining the two techniques, you can achieve interesting Transposition, since you can affect the octave and fiddle around fifths and fourths.

Of course, the values of the pitch notes are to be set accordingly to the scale you are using.

If you have any question, shoot

i actually stumbled upon a soooort of workaround the other day, but it takes a bit of prep and practice...

if you set your LFO to target pitch and the rate to minimum, you can bend the sequence around quite a distance with the INT knob.

if you plan it out, it can be pretty effective. i managed to pull off a pretty convincing "i feel love" with about 2 mins of head scratching. that only transposes up though, which makes it pretty bloody easy.

if you need to transpose down as well, that can get hairy (have to flick the oscillators up an octave and put the INT knob somewhere with enough range on either side), but as i said, with a bit of planning, things can work.

Shift and play turns key transpose off and on.
