Minimoog Model D Synthesizer

This app is great, before I purchased this app I did some research on what the mini moog and to be honest there’s a lot of history about it. I wasn’t born at that time and it’s the greatest musical instrument just because of how much sound you can get out of it it granted, then it was all plug-in play action and this app can completely recreate that sound without the plug-in play action. I showed my friend this app after purchasing, he got excited about it and interested only because he grew up in that era and he himself even said that it sounds exactly the same as the original mini moog. I mean the legends of all bands used this I want to say, sound machine that was used in a study for a college and the person who stumbled upon electrons, protons, and neutrons was a professor of that college who had created this amazing work of art for reasons that were opposed to its use from these rock legends. I want to thank the processor/scientist for inventing it and the people who worked so hard to recreate the sound of the original mini moog. This app recreates the exact sound of the og mini moog. I am truly amazed of how much everyone who already has this app can create limitless creative masterpieces. Than you!

I downloaded this as a lark a few months ago, because I had fond memories of ELP using Moog synthesizers to great effect. On its own (and without MIDI keyboard) it wasn’t much more than a toy, but it was fun and free. Recently I purchased the IOS version of MidiGuitar 2 - and have since found that I can use the Model D both in that app, and also in Garageband (so I can record!) and use my guitar as a MIDI controller - so now what I have is the full featured Model D as a software instrument that I can play with my my acoustic guitar. The sound quality is quite simply astonishing, and the Model D is surprisingly intuitive, so I’m able to modify and design sounds that I’d never have thought were possible from an acoustic guitar. I’d been eying a few guitar synth pedals, with very high pricetags for awhile - this app, in tandem with MidiGuitar2 gives me all the synthesizing power I need in a simple app. I’m using an old iRig guitar interface to connect, and the sound performance is smooth and flawless. There is no latency at all, so note response is fast and wonderful. Although the Model D app is free, there are additional sound modules available for a few bucks each, and they add all sorts of great and very useable presets to the mix. If you are a guitarist interested in exploring the possibilities for synth sounds for your instrument, this is a great place to start. SImply astonishing!

True hardware synth devotees will always insist that the original vintage hardware is superior to any digital emulation. Well, I don’t own a real 70’s Model D, but whether it’s a 100% spot recreation or not, this app sounds incredible. It’s no secret there has been another popular Model D clone on the App Store for a few years, and it sounds great. But the Moog is superior to my ears, there’s a warmth and ‘woolliness’ to the sound that captures some of that character the analog filters & transformers gave the originals. I’m more of a Songwriter/Musician who leans towards guitar, but mess with synths a lot for atmosphere, pads, some leads, etc. Even in that limited capacity Model D’s potential for me is extremely exciting. For EDM, House, trap & hip-hop producers this app is a goldmine of excellent presets & full control over this great legendary synth. Highly recommended.
