Drumlogue is a hybrid drum machine with four analog tracks, six sample based tracks, and another digital synth track – which, with an open SDK has the potential to expand drumlogue’s sonic capabilities far beyond what you get in the box. It has extensive IO if you want to process tracks with external effects or control it via MIDI and USB, and a relatively easy-to-use interface. In this video, I’ll take an in-depth look at what makes it tick, including pros and cons compared to other drum machines and groove boxes:

I really liked your Drumlogue tutorial, it was really helpful! One thing: I can’t seem to figure out how to control the Nano engine in a “typical” keyboard fashion – and Korg’s “customer service” is apparently non-existent. Is there a particular setting one must use in order to control the synth that way? Thank you!
