A reissue of a Moog synthesizer classic—with modern upgrades and dust cover.
This bundle includes the Minimoog Model D monophonic analog synthesizer 2022 reissue and a custom-designed and fit dust cover for your Minimoog Model D.
Minimoog Model D
More than a half century since its release in 1970, Minimoog Model D synthesizer is back in production at the Moog factory in Asheville, North Carolina. An exceptional sonic tool and one of the most beloved and iconic synthesizers ever designed, it returns to the hands of synthesists of all kinds, and serves as inspiration for the next generation of electronic musicians.
The three-oscillator, monophonic, analog synthesizer is securely housed in a locally sourced Appalachian cherry cabinet and hand-finished aluminum chassis. Sounding as vibrant and deep as ever, its legendary low-pass ladder filter, powerful oscillators, and rich saturating mixer retain the exact component placement and through-hole design of a 1970s-era Minimoog Model D.
While no changes have been made to the original sound engine or audio signal path, the 2022 Minimoog Model D includes a series of popular functional modifications that expand this legendary instrument’s sonic capabilities. These modifications include a dedicated analog LFO with triangle and square wave shapes, a premium Fatar keybed with velocity and after pressure available via top panel CV jacks with onboard trimpots, MIDI integration, and a mixer feedback modification—which allows the Minimoog Model D to overdrive and scream with the turn of a knob. And, for the first time in its history, the Minimoog Model D now features a spring-loaded pitch wheel with center deadband, allowing for improved playability and wild performance flourishes.
Dust Cover
Protect your Moog Minimoog Model D when not in use. This water-repellant dust cover is made from rugged Ballistic Cordura to safeguard your gear from dust, spills and other studio (and stage) mishaps, while the ultrasoft interior remains gentle against your synth. This cover is designed to fit your Model D with the control panel in the “down” position and features a Velcro flap for convenient rear I/O panel access.
