It really says something about a synthesizer that, almost 50 years after its creation, is not only brought back by popular demand, but that popular demand is still so great that they sell them faster than they can produce them.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Aturia V3 mini emulsion of the Minimoog sounds just as dope. Crazy modern basslines with it for DnB.

[@zachhaywood1564]

@@HOLLASOUNDS Have it and love it!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@zachhaywood1564 Interesting if you copy the knob and switch position of any Real Mimimoog demonstration it sounds very similar. I have got about 5 new sounds by copying this guy in the video.

[@planca3430]

back in 73 i lived in dallas and a friend bought one of these and let me use it for 4 days. this was wild. it could make so many different sounds. even computers cant tell you how many different sounds this thing can make. it was so amazing.

[@kipperfeast]

This is the best all-around Minimoog demo I've seen yet. Clear, fast-moving, and informative. I've always loved the sounds but have never realised just how close to infinite the number of possible sounds is that this beauty can make...

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I have to make do with Arturia mini v3

[@joelizquierdo]

This is one of the best examples the Mini Moog can do. If you add effects it’ll take you to new adventures.

[@tonyhill8963]

Thank you, Dr. MOOG for creating this thing of beauty. And thank you Behringer for making it cheap enough that I can buy one.

[@menacerisamir198]

a behringer is a behringer and a moog is a moog ,the time will told you ...

[@lordundhimself1310]

That Poly D gon be reeeeeaaaalll sweet

[@OttosTheName]

@@menacerisamir198 It sounds the same and if it breaks after 5 years I'll replace it. Not like repaira on an original one are cheap.

[@menacerisamir198]

@@OttosTheName for the very small price of the model d from behringer , it is a good idea to have one for sure

[@joker9494949494]

As someone who owns both a Behringer Model D and a Minimoog Model D I can tell you without a doubt they are dead on. And when I play live do I take my $7000 synth on the road? Hell no. New Behringer analog goes hand in hand with my Prophet 5 and Minimoog any day.

[@singlesideman]

The Model D Minimoog is, without question, the greatest synthesizer ever made. Pound for pound.

[@zachhaywood1564]

You'll get no argument from me!

[@aqualili]

It's got the least features per dollar. Dr. Moog is a legend, the company that bears his name are criminals lol

[@ApolloJetsonKND]

glad you drop a video!!!!!!!!! so glad u did this one!!

[@DJMikeron]

This is the Moog sound I love ,it will never die

[@pdbordelon]

Sound great and, unintentionally, the guy helps explain synth basics to us newbies.

[@pschroeter1]

In your random noodling I kept hearing snippets of Emerson Lake and Palmer.

[@carlbowles1808]

The who as well.

[@SparkyMcBiff]

I've been watching a few Minimoog videos today and I didn't realize that the "Model D" was a newly released model based on the original. I've got an original Minimoog in my basement that I hadn't played for a few years since I bought my grand piano. But after watching several of these videos I'm going to have to drag it out and hook everything up.

[@mppttt]

I hope you found the time to play your Minimoog, very jealous.

[@boziumfrost445]

I’ll buy it off you. Name your price!

[@lymangreen5020]

You do that!!

[@jaggass]

The only thing a guitarist should be afraid of is a Minimoog.

[@Pongant]

Or you could just be working with it as a guitarist.

[@subwaygaragemusic]

Rick wakeman quote eh?

[@jtaylorsnd]

I understand your point and agree, but really the only thing a guitarist should be afraid of is everything. A guitar is no longer considered a lead instrument except by a minority

[@Boris_Chang]

@Jay Taylor LOL

[@bobbg9041]

Nope, they complement each other. Look at ELP both Emerson and Lake played will with each other and Lake had a ton of toys too.

[@bigdap100]

[@dathandsometroll1852]

I'm a guitarist and I want this.

[@AndyPlaysGames]

If I didn't know any better, this has THE FLAMING LIPS written all over it.

[@jaggass]

Techincally you can play a polyphonic chord on a Minimoog by having all the 3 oscs in different tuning and say at the 16 stop.

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

is the analogic version just one voice?

[@denver-gi7ot]

Yeah but then you play a different chord and one of the notes will likely be out of key. You'd had to retune it for each chord.

[@jaggass]

@@denver-gi7ot Sticking in playing or major or minor key would work.

[@denver-gi7ot]

@@jaggass I suppose it could be done, those sort of limitations can be interesting

[@mvvagner]

That thing is gorgeous. love all the switches and brushed aluminum dials

[@TerryBeatson]

I honestly wish Roland would follow in Moog's footsteps, re-releasing the original, analogue TR-808 and TR-909. Also, anyone else wanting a boutique of the 707/727?

[@FilbertMcTwitch]

Excellent demonstration. Thanks so much!

[@DeadKoby]

I don't play keys, but being an electronics nerd, I can see how you dig the analog-ness of it all.

[@xBRoyalx]

if you like electronics, then you like math. if you like math the you like music. if you like music then learn to play the piano. enjoy

[@TheLil3K]

HOLD UP. You can hate math but like electronics. If you like Music, that doesn't mean you learn how to play the piano. and finally: WHAT DOES THA HAVE TO DO WITH THIS? He's talking about analog stuff. Not the music itself.

[@xBRoyalx]

*sigh*, im just saying when you break it all down music is math. anyways do whatever you want, I was just pointing it out.

[@DeadKoby]

I play guitars and drums... plus I fix amps and build FX pedals. That's why Moog stuff is interesting to me.

[@joshuamclaughlin9257]

[@salparadise4804]

I want one. No, wait a minute - I NEED one! I just love hearing Rick Wakeman combining this with a Mellotron on various recordings - so cool. And I'm a drummer!

[@quomofo1]

These Moog Synth’s are the reason that I love the Return of the Rentals sound so much. Fuzzed out guitars + fuzzed out bass + Moog Synth = pure awesomeness!

[@singlesideman]

It's so damned close to the original, yet there is a subtle but dimensional difference in terms of the bass, a fourth dimension. I still don't know exactly what it is about my Model D from 1973, but it is the real Cthulu. The real Kraken. It's almost horrifying. Beyond enormous. It emerges from the center of the earth. And engulfs everything.

[@etc834]

It's actually the exact same. All the internals are the same from new model and old model. Though the older ones have some wear which can make it sound different, but eventually the new ones will sound old

[@singlesideman]

@@etc834 the only thing that I'm aware of that really changes with the components over time is that the capacitors gradually leak and lose capacitance, which just makes the instrument flat in pitch, which can be adjusted by retuning the instrument. The real question is what kind of components are being used. The diodes in particular are the most critical when it comes to tone, namely germanium versus silicon.

[@anoniconoclast2030]

With a '73 you get about an octave that's in tune at any given time. With the reissue the entire keyboard is in tune. That's the biggest difference.

[@singlesideman]

@@anoniconoclast2030 mine is in tune throughout.

[@anoniconoclast2030]

No way is it in tune from top to bottom. I have had 5 vintage moogs and even the two that went to a tech for a complete overhaul were not in tune over the entire range. One of the techs was the considered the best moog tech in the world. You need to put a tuner on your mini. It will be sharp or flat in the outer ranges or you have the only fully in tune vintage mini in the world. The reissue is better in every way. The action is better due to no j wires. Midi. Touch sensitivity. Another mod source etc.

[@totaltwit]

oh boy... I think it needs someone who is familair with this type of synth. I had a 1974 version to play with, it does take a little time to work out how to get good sounds, otherwise it's all silly bleeps and crashes.

haha...that was a great demo, thx for posting trying to resist the urge

[@horowizard]

At 17:42 the original Minimoogs had an S-Trigger plug with the leads shorted, which when inserted kept a constant Gate voltage. As long as your Sustain level was up you didn't have to hold a Key to pass audio. I have an early 70s Model D and I have used it on every album that I have ever recorded. Even though it doesn't have the dedicated LFO and other modifications, I could never part with it.

[@geoffk777]

If you want one, just buy a Behringer Model D for one tenth of the price. Plus an extra LFO, high pass mode for the filter and Euro-rack compatibility. Lots of comparisons prove that the sound is literally indistinguishable.

[@anoniconoclast2030]

Except the Behringers are falling apart and that sucks.

[@geoffk777]

@@anoniconoclast2030 I have a Model-D and a Poly-D and both have been perfectly reliable. Heck, even if one broke, I could buy a few more and still be nowhere close to the price of a Moog Mini.

[@soysir]

@doctor mix hey guys, just wondering if you know if the model d reissue is as smooth and subby as the Moog voyager for deep baselines or is the model d more suited for mid range and funky basslines... Sorry for a bit of a amateur question but I'm trying to make my mind up with the two. Voyager has all the features I like on a mono synth but wondering if I just spend that extra for the grand daddy of all moogs. But if the cutoffs around 10 or 9am and there isn't much deep low end I'd probably stick with voyager... Thanks

[@Yelwah]

Matthew Carter I own a little phatty, sub 37, mother 32 and a voyager and just recently bought the model d. I have to say it sounds better all around. It has a better bite and grittiness to it compared to the voyager and it excels in low end. Just my 2 cents.

[@Bananskuden]

Way better than the Voyager. Amazing!

[@Null_Protogen]

I've owned an R.A. Moog model since 1996, I got it at a garage sale for free. analog synths have a feel that will never be replicated. you really feel like you're manipulating electricity.

Question, what are ways of using “LO” on Oscillator 1 & 2? I understand Oscillator 3 have it. Thanks!

[@geoffk777]

You can't. Even if you could set them to Lo (which you can't), there's no way to route them as LFOs-only Osc 3. The Behringer Model 3 does let you do this, though.

[@SidJ8300]

Maybe minimoog model D is the best, i am also very happy with my sub37 and mother32's

[@Doctormix]

Absolutely! These are great too ;-)

[@PaterTenebrarum1]

peter synthbrothers I got that combo too - a sub 37 CV and two mamas. What persuaded me was the fact that they can be integrated with my modular system, but I haven't even done that yet, still playing around with what this combo offers on its own, which is amazing enough. There's a neat way to emulate the fixed note sub oscillator function of the minimoog by the way... (connect pitch CV and gate out of Sub 37 to pitch CV and gate in of mother 1, and connect keyboard and gate out of mother 1 to pitch CV and gate in of mother 2 - it won't transmit the pitch of the sub 37 like it does with midi. Instead the oscillator pitch of the second mother remains steady).

[@randommuiscchannel1049]
