Playing Programs and Sequences

Selecting and Playing a Program

The minilogue comes equipped with 200 Programs. Of those, 100 are ready-to-

play preset Programs and 100 locations are available to save your own sounds 

and custom edits.

Each Program includes settings for the sound, as well as sequence data and 

Voice mode settings.

1. 

Enter the Play mode.

When the minilogue is turned on, it will automatically enter the Play mode. 

In the Play mode, verify that all of the EDIT MODE and 1–8/9–16 buttons 

on the front panel are unlit.

TIP 

If the EDIT MODE button or the 1–8/9–

16 button is lit, press the EXIT button. 

The PLAY or REC buttons will light to 

indicate when the sequence data saved 

in a Program is being played back or is 

recording. You can still select other Pro

-

grams in this state, but press the PLAY 

button if you wish to stop the Sequencer.

2. 

Turn the PROGRAM/VALUE knob to select a Program.

The display will indicate the Program name and number.

The minilogue comes with 100 preset Programs (001–100) as part of the fac

-

tory preload data. These preset Programs are instantly accessible and ready 

for you to enjoy. For details, refer to “Program List” (p. 54).

TIP 

Hold down the SHIFT button while turning the PROGRAM/VALUE 

knob to skip through the Program List in increments of 10.

TIP 

In addition to showing Program name and number, the display can 

also be used as an 

oscilloscope

, to show the electrical signals created 

by the waveform of the sound. For details on the display, refer to “Os
