The Moog Minimoog Model D 2022 Reissue is a faithful recreation of the iconic synthesizer, but with a few modern enhancements. Here are the key features:
Dedicated Analog LFO: The original Minimoog Model D did not have a dedicated LFO, so modulation was typically controlled by one of the oscillators. The 2022 Reissue features a dedicated analog LFO with triangle and square waveshapes, making it easier to create a wider variety of modulation effects.
Premium Fatar Keybed: The original Minimoog Model D had a three-octave keyboard with a mechanical keybed. The 2022 Reissue features a premium Fatar keybed with a full four-octave range, providing a more playable and expressive experience.
Velocity and Aftertouch: The original Minimoog Model D did not have velocity or aftertouch sensitivity. The 2022 Reissue features velocity-sensitive keys and aftertouch-sensitive modulation, allowing you to create expressive performances with more nuanced control over volume and filter cutoff.
MIDI Integration: The original Minimoog Model D was not MIDI-compatible, making it difficult to integrate with modern music production setups. The 2022 Reissue features MIDI input and output, allowing you to connect it to MIDI controllers and DAWs for seamless integration with your studio workflow.
Mixer Feedback Mod: The original Minimoog Model D could achieve overdrive and distortion by connecting an external amplifier to the audio output. The 2022 Reissue features a mixer feedback modification that allows you to achieve these effects directly from the synth, without the need for external equipment.
Spring-Loaded Pitch Wheel: The original Minimoog Model D had a non-spring-loaded pitch wheel, which could make it difficult to play certain notes accurately. The 2022 Reissue features a spring-loaded pitch wheel with center deadband, making it more playable and precise.
