Moog Minimoog Model D Classic Monophonic Analog Synthesizer (2022 Edition)

Introducing the Minimoog Model D Reissue
Rediscover the magic of the original Minimoog with the Model D reissue from Moog, a faithful recreation that adheres meticulously to the design and components of the legendary synthesizer. This monophonic powerhouse is encased in a beautiful Appalachian-cherry hardwood enclosure and features a hand-finished aluminum chassis, blending classic aesthetics with modern reliability for today’s musicians.

Classic Sound Engine with Authentic Components
The heart of the Minimoog Model D reissue is its 3-oscillator configuration that utilizes the iconic Moog ladder filter with resonance, ensuring that the beloved Moog sound is preserved. The synthesizer's analog circuit boards have been recreated using the original designs and through-hole components, including custom reissued transistors and military-spec precision resistors, essential for delivering the instrument’s distinctive sonic character.

Enhanced Playability and Connectivity
While maintaining the sound integrity of the original Model D, this reissue enhances playability and functionality with a modern touch. It features a Fatar TP-9 keybed with velocity and aftertouch for expressive performances. Additionally, it includes comprehensive CV outputs for pitch, aftertouch, velocity, and gate, plus MIDI In, Out, and Thru for seamless integration into any modern studio setup.

New Modulation and Overload Features
New to the Minimoog Model D reissue are several features that expand its sound-shaping capabilities without altering its core sound. These include an analog LFO and Filter Contour as modulation sources, and an external modulation CV input. An innovative overload modification allows the output of the Model D to be automatically scaled and fed back to the External Audio Input for instant overdrive, enhancing its versatility and creative potential.

Reliability for Touring and Performance
Understanding the demands of touring musicians, Moog has improved the reliability of the Model D with robust circuit-board connectors designed to withstand the rigors of travel and performance. This attention to detail ensures that the synthesizer not only sounds fantastic but is also durable enough to accompany artists on the road.
