Mini by name, Massive by nature

From classic prog and funk to mainstream pop, hip-hop and electronica, everyone fell in love with the Minimoog.

The Minimoog put the essentials of wall-filling modular synths into a package everyday musicians could afford, and take to the gig. The rest is history.

While Minimoog was not the first synthesizer, it was definitely the one that got most people’s attention. Robert Moog, whose name is synonymous with synths, had already seen his modular systems succeed and even cross into popular musical culture thanks to musicians like Wendy Carlos and Keith Emerson. Towards the late 1960s, though, demand for a truly portable and user-friendly way to get that soaring sound was building, and sales of the large and expensive modulars were slowing.

Vintage controls, thoughtfully enhanced

The original Minimoog featured a no-nonsense layout that yielded instant sonic gratification. Mini V starts there, and ends in a phenomenal sound ranging from creamy to monstrous, with extensive options for advanced sound treatment when you need it.

Three’s Company

Three oscillators cover the frequency range and waveforms of the hardware, for truly phat leads, basses and pads.

From the ground up

A rebuilt engine for Mini V explores the coveted non-linearities of the analog circuitry in a way that aligns Mini V with its historical namesake like never before.
