1971.
At the NAMM convention, Bob Moog introduces the Minimoog, the very
first compact and affordable synthesizer for musicians. With its
excellent fat sound and its unparalleled filters, the Minimoog
eventually became responsible for some of the warmer and best analog
synth bass, lead and whistle sounds ever.
2004.
At the NAMM show, Arturia introduces the minimoog V, a faithful
reproduction of the Minimoog. Offering all the features of the
original, the software version also brings polyphony, MIDI management,
presets. And taking advantage of the possibilities of modern tools,
beyond the control panel are some additional hidden functions: a
modulation matrix, a LFO, an arpegiator, a chorus and a delay.
But
what about the core of the Minimoog, the sound? Thanks to TAE®, Arturia
proprietary technology for emulating analog circuits, the minimoog V
offers an unchallenged quality of sound. Sharp filters, aliasing-free
oscillators, soft-clipping limitation guarantee you have the best
emulation on the market.
Loaded with
hundreds of presets made by some of the most talented Minimoog users,
the minimoog V is certainly an instrument which is going to bring a lot
to your musical palette.
