Description

The Minimoog Model D App is a software transmutation of the world’s first portable synthesizer, the Minimoog Model D®. Anyone can jump in and play with over 160 included presets or lay fingers to the controls and begin exploring vast magical realms of creative potential for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Mac.

The Minimoog Model D App incorporates a number of inspiring sound creation tools and capabilities not present on its analog antecedent. New functions include the ability to play chords with up to four-note polyphony, an easy-to-use arpeggiator for rhythmic pattern creation, a real time looping recorder with unlimited overdubbing capacity, a tempo-synchronizable stereo ping pong delay module, and the Bender -- a wide-range stereo time modulation effect module.

The Minimoog Model D App also supports AUv3 Audio Unit extensions, which allows multiple instances of this powerful instrument to be used simultaneously within Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) supporting AUv3. Wrappers are available to use as a AUv2 or VST3 plug-in for any DAW that does not support AUv3.

The Minimoog Model D MacOS App requires MacOS 11.2 to work.

A BRIEF HISTORY
Introduced by Moog in 1970, the Minimoog Model D served as the archetype for all electronic keyboards that followed. It gave users the ability to design their own sounds, translating imagination into reality. The Minimoog’s portability, affordability and accessibility made it the go-to instrument for musicians looking to expand beyond the traditional sounds of the time. Bernie Worrell used the Minimoog Model D to establish Parliament Funkadelic’s futuristic funk sound. Kraftwerk employed the Minimoog Model D on the successful concept album Autobahn, sparking an entirely new genre. Gary Numan replaced his live band’s guitars with Minimoog Model Ds, creating the prototype for industrial music. The classic sound of the Minimoog Model D can be heard on Bob Marley’s Catch A Fire, Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Dr. Dre’s The Chronic; Detailed in the mini-doc series “A Brief History Of The Minimoog”.

Stunning and brilliant value!

There’s a lot of debate about how close to the original machines these emulations get. As an undergrad in the late 70’s I trained on a Moog like this and a Synthi VCS3. I’m having just as much fun, without the hassle of tape splicing! Would I like a hardware Moog? Yes, but in the meantime, this software will serve me well in many professional productions.

Pretty good analog emulation, not the best.

As far as VA synths in iOS go there are many to choose from these days, Zeeon, Kauldron, Syntronik, Odysseyi etc. to my ears any way Zeeon is still tops for an analog sound. This is a nice synth either way and heaps of fun to use with a straightforward interface and nice selection of presets. A gripe I have currently is the lack of ability to use IAP sound packs in AUv3 mode. A great addition to their iOS repertoire but they still haven’t bested Animoog. Keep trying.

Developer Response ,

Hi Nogreatcrime, the IAP packs are available now in v1.0.3 in the AUv3 through the in-app preset browser. Thanks for letting us know about this issue. <3 Your friends at Moog!

Cluncky

Some of the presets are really great. I'm not convinced that this is a faithful recreation of the famous synth and I'm not convinced that the controls work correctly as well. I think it is quite clunky when used as a plug-in with Logic Pro for iPads with access to functionality and presets initially difficult to find.
