MOOG Minimoog Model D 2022 Edition Synthesizer

The Minimoog Model D is a legendary analog synthesizer that has left an indelible mark on the world of electronic music.

  • Origins and Significance:
    • Originally released in 1970, the Minimoog Model D was the world’s first portable synthesizer. It served as the archetype for all electronic keyboards that followed.
    • Combining the colossal sound of the 1960s Moog modular synthesizers with the accessibility of pre-wired modules, the Minimoog Model D could be played instantly and intuitively without the need for patch cables.
    • Artists like Herbie Hancock, Kraftwerk, Rick Wakeman, Sun Ra, Piero Umiliani, Giorgio Moroder, Bernie Worrell, and Gary Numan embraced the Minimoog Model D, shaping unique sounds and forging new musical genres.
  • Rebirth and Sonic Excellence:
    • More than a half-century since its invention, the Minimoog Model D is back in production at the Moog factory in Asheville, North Carolina.
    • This exceptional sonic tool retains the exact component placement and through-hole design of a 1970s-era Minimoog Model D.
    • Its three-oscillator, monophonic, analog synthesizer is securely housed in a locally sourced Appalachian cherry cabinet with a hand-finished aluminum chassis.
    • The legendary low-pass ladder filter, powerful oscillators, and rich saturating mixer ensure that it sounds as vibrant and deep as ever.
  • Functional Modifications:
    • While no changes have been made to the original sound engine or audio signal path, the 2022 Minimoog Model Dincludes several popular functional modifications:
      • Dedicated Analog LFO: Triangle and square waveshapes for modulation.
      • Premium Fatar Keybed: Velocity and after pressure available via top panel CV jacks.
      • MIDI Integration: Improved modern studio integration.
      • Mixer Feedback Modification: Allows the Minimoog Model D to overdrive and scream.
      • Spring-Loaded Pitch Wheel: Enhanced playability and wild performance flourishes.
  • Inspiration for the Next Generation:
    • The Minimoog Model D continues to inspire synthesists of all kinds, serving as a testament to its enduring impact on electronic music.
    • Whether you’re a seasoned musician or a newcomer, this iconic synthesizer invites you to explore its rich sonic palette and create your own musical magic.

Pitch Bend

Pitch Bend: Yes

The Pitch Bend allows smooth pitch changes, adding expressiveness to musical expression. Often used to create effects such as glissando or vibrato, this feature allows the player to make subtle or dramatic changes to the sound in real time. Pitch bend allows musicians to create smooth transitions between notes, increasing the dynamics and expressiveness of their performances.

MIDI Interface: Yes

It supports MIDI, allowing you to connect and communicate with other MIDI-compatible devices. This feature extends control and integration into the larger music environment, increasing flexibility and creativity in music creation.

Oscillators: 3

This three-oscillator synthesizer offers a wide range of sonic possibilities and creative expression. With three oscillators, users can experiment with harmonic interactions, adjust the frequencies and amplitudes of individual oscillators, and create composite sounds that combine different textures and colors.

Modulation: Yes

Modulation allows you to change different aspects of the sound in real time, opening up a wide range of creative possibilities. For example, it can affect the pitch of the sound, creating a vibrato effect, or it can change the amplitude of the signal, creating a tremolo effect. It can also adjust filtering to create smooth transitions between frequency bands and dynamic textures. Modulation can also be used to change the character of the sound depending on the time or intensity of playing, giving the sound a lively and moving character.

LFO: Yes

An LFO, or low frequency oscillator, brings electronic sound to life. It adds movement and interest to synthetic sounds and effects, playing an important role in both subtle synthesis and bold sound design. However, you won't hear the LFO itself because it acts as a modulator. This means that it does not directly affect the audio signal, but adjusts other parameters such as oscillator pitch and filter clipping.
