Moog Minimoog Model D 2022 Edition

The Moog Minimoog Model D is a reissue of the legendary synthesizer that has shaped the world of music since the 1970s. It combines the distinctive Moog sound with modern enhancements to meet the demands of contemporary musicians. At the heart of the synthesizer are a trilogy of vintage Moog oscillators, which, thanks to precision military-grade resistors, offer exceptional sound quality. This reissue stays true to the original design but introduces important modifications, such as CV and MIDI connectivity options.

The high-quality Fatar keyboard of the Model D provides velocity and pressure sensitivity, allowing for natural and expressive playability. This keyboard is a central element for musicians who want to create both subtle atmospheric pads and penetrating leads. The CV modifications include new outputs for pitch, aftertouch, velocity, and gate, while the modulation section includes an analog triangle/quadrature wave LFO and a filter envelope as new modulation sources.

Another highlight is the ability to scale the output of the Minimoog Model D and route it back to the external audio input, enabling creative use of overdrive. Additionally, the circuit board connectors have been improved to ensure reliability on tours.

This synthesizer is also a piece of music history. Many renowned artists have used the original Minimoog, and its unique sounds continue to influence the music world to this day. The reissue of the Model D preserves this tradition by retaining the original sound engine and audio signal path to capture the essence of vintage sound.

The warm and analog circuitry of the Minimoog Model D has been faithfully recreated, using specially reissued transistors to deliver exceptional sound quality and tonal character. The design has been subtly improved and now offers new features like MIDI integration, bringing the Model D into modern music production.

As a Limited Edition for 2022, the Minimoog Model D comes in an exquisite Appalachian Cherry case, emphasizing its uniqueness and collector's value.
