“Minimode's sound is stellar. Fat and low end for days. The filter behaves as I expect and it self-oscillates. My search for the Holy Grail of Minimoog virtual instruments has ended."Dave Polich. Music Producer, Sound Designer & Tour Keyboard Technician (Michael Jackson, The Cure, Fleetwood Mac)
“Minimode is an instant classic. | can't think of a better dedication to Bob Moog than a Model D for the masses that sounds so rich and detailed."Nutritious. Artist, Producer, DJ and A&R
“I can run dozens of polyphonic Minimoogs with this thing and even my old Mac has no problem with it. Nice work Cherry Audio! The sound and patches are genuine and fantastic!"Amin Bhatia. Film and TV Composer
The Big Bang of Synths
Minimode is a painstaking virtual emulation of the granddaddy of all portable synthesizers, the legendary Minimoog Model D®. Introduced in 1971, no other instrument is more associated with the word "synthesizer" than the iconic Minimoog - it's perhaps the best-known and loved analog synthesizer ever made. Though its innards weren't identical to Moog's massive modular synths, it shared the thick, juicy, "fat" analog sound that remains unchallenged 50 years later! It set the standard for future synthesizers, inspired whole new genres of music, and defined the sound of artists as diverse as Kraftwerk, Herbie Hancock, Rick Wakeman, Pink Floyd, Parliament, Gary Numan, and countless others.
And now, with Cherry Audio Minimode, it's your turn!
Minimode was conceived as the ultimate tribute to the original instrument. Cherry Audio focused on a single principle: absolute authenticity. In association with DSP master and frequent collaborator Mark Barton (MRB), Cherry Audio studied and measured every nuance, every curve, and every response of the audio. Even the Minimode interface is a meticulous recreation of the Minimoog, from the maple cabinet and textured surface to the unmistakable "Cosmo" knobs and switches. Cherry Audio also avoided the temptation to add extra features, such as additional LFOs or effects, which might distract from the spirit and vibe of the classic Model D. Instead, Minimode portrays the pure, raw, powerful sound and feel of the classic original.
All About the Sound
Whether you're seeking monstrous leads, funky basslines, or warm atmospheric pads, Minimode has you covered. In fact, the resulting tones are so mighty that Cherry Audio could not resist adding one particular enhancement. If one classic synth voice isn't enough, Cherry Audio made it easy to dial in two, four, eight, or sixteen polyphonic voices guaranteed to bring the house down. Need outstanding sounds even faster? Minimode includes a library of over 250 presets created by pro professional sound designers. Brass, keys, percussion, sound effects, and even MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) presets and, of course, the signature earthshaking basses and leads the Mini is renowned for are just a click away.
