Unquestionably the most iconic synthesizer ever made
the Moog Minimoog Model D changed the face of modern music. From Kraftwerk to Parliament-Funkadelic
Yes to Dr. Dre
the Minimoog's fat
musically expressive analog synth sounds are the standard by which all other synths are judged.
Developed in partnership with Moog Music
exclusively for Universal Audio
the Moog Minimoog thoroughly captures every nuance
anomaly
and quirk of the original hardware using Universal Audio's industry?leading expertise in circuit modeling
synthesis
and signal processing.
An Analog Synth for the People
The Moog Minimoog Model D was introduced in 1970
when "synthesizer" meant a giant wall of intimidating knobs
cables
and patch bays. Bob Moog and his team designed the Minimoog as a performance instrument of unrelenting expressiveness for all musicians. Soon
the portable Minimoog was appearing on albums by Emerson
Lake & Palmer
Stevie Wonder
Sun Ra
Bob Marley
and more. Before long
entire genres were being transformed
even created
by the Minimoog and its futuristic sound.
Unmatched Craftsmanship
Together with Moog Music
Universal Audio's team of DSP engineers undertook meticulous circuit modeling and rigorous listening tests of three vintage Minimoogs
and a single "Golden Unit'' was chosen. Using custom robotics for ultra-precise knob measurements
each Minimoog module was fully emulated
faithfully capturing module-to-module coupling and impedance. The result is an awe-inspiring UAD Instrument with all the personality of Bob Moog's most famous synthesizer β with near?zero latency.
Incredible Realism to Fuel Creativity
Simply open the Minimoog in your DAW and prepare to be inspired with the unmistakable growl
fatness
and rich distortion of Moog's iconic ladder filters and oscillators
as well as detailed modeling of the Minimoog's pitch tracking anomalies. Even the "feedback" effect of looping the Minimoog's output to the input for varying degrees of distortion is faithfully reproduced. And by capturing the midrange punch
high-end presence
and sumptuous low end
the Minimoog UAD Instrument effortlessly blends into any mix β just like the original.
Custom Moog Mods
The Moog Minimoog UAD Instrument sports many of the custom mods that power users utilized on their hardware units
greatly expanding the Minimoog's palette. From switchable note priority and legato
to sample and hold
extra LFO
and more
these appointments make the Minimoog UAD Instrument a jaw-dropping
detailed emulation that raises the bar for virtual instruments.
