VINTAGE MINIMOOG Model D Analog Synthesizer 1979 | HD DEMO

(c) 2017 by AnalogAudio1
I played the Minimoog D with reverb effects from a Lexicon MPX-500 and delay effects from a Korg SDD-3000. This Minimoog was built in 1979.
The Minimoog D is a real classic. It is a monophonic synthesizer with a fat analog sound from USA. It has 3 oscillators, a 24dB Moog lowpass filter, 2 envelopes, noise generator. The third oscillator can be used as LFO with a wide frequency range. The Minimoog D is heard on many, many recordings.

How can this old chap still sound so freaking good nowadays

[@truckingscouser]

Coz it's the Grandaddy, It's a Moog!

[@Doctormix]

I love your channel

[@AnalogAudio1]

thank you :-)

[@fjfrancois]

Ha ha Doctor Mix 🤩

[@AlexBallMusic]

Hired a 70s minimoog for a session once. Had it for about 10 hours. Could have easily wasted the entire time just messing around with it. Was so wonderfully wonky and cool, as this video demonstrates. Sounds very different to even the direct emulations. Also borrowed an actual tape loaded Mellotron that day too. Was also very cool.

[@Josue143803]

I wasn't expecting you to do this one. What a nice surprise!

[@AnalogAudio1]

why not? ;-)

[@Josue143803]

I didn't remember you had one

[@AnalogAudio1]

In 2009 I already made a video of this beast :-)

[@M1ghty0m3ga]

The King of analog synths!

[@Scrumper66]

Wow! good démo!!!! Thanks for this dream.... The MiniMoog is the king of synths! ;)

[@AnalogAudio1]

thanks! Yes, it is...

[@truckingscouser]

00:24 Autobahn, my heart filled with joy ;-)

[@devicefactor2290]

The tone of this synth? (perfection)

[@Pan6888]

The original Moog is still the best around.

[@atmeltronic128]

I like when you were playing kraftwerk autobahn in the beginning. :-) I love Kraftwerk!!!! :-D

[@jeanbonnefoy1377]

ATMELtronic plus a short intro of "we are the robots". Used to have one on 74-79, had to sell it ;-(( ... bought a voyager in '09 and a phatty in '10... they're not really the same. Just sold the li'l phatty (but am keeping a slim one in a rack. Best replacement, imho: a sub-37, or a mother 32 driven by an Arturia keyboard...

[@atmeltronic128]

Some synth's have a different kind of sound, It really depends on the type of sound engine it uses neither its analog or digital. I bet it sound amazing when you had it back in 74-79, I'm shore it makes some nice sound's depending how you program it ! :-)

[@StevenSclafani]

Sublime.

[@wolfgangkowalik6]

MOOG MINIMOOG THE IMPERATOR OF ANALOG SYNTHESIZER !!!!

[@Steedonline]

2:30 Manfred Mann's solo sound

[@archstanton4365]

Sounds like what John Carpenter was using for his early scores. Very nice. ✌

[@KajRogerWillumsen]

Super!!

[@3DMGamingukf]

I instantly recognised Autobahn

[@vintagesynths]

Toll, dass du jetzt auch eine Model D hast. Dazu hast du ein richtig phantastisches Demo gemacht!

[@AnalogAudio1]

danke! Habe ich schon seit ein paar Jährchen...

[@vintagesynths]

Ich muss ehrlich sagen, es ist mit Abstand das beste Video zum Minimoog, das ich je gehört habe, das meine ich ehrlich.

[@ronnieaux5290]

You should make these patches available with the standard Moog patch sheets (like in the manual), save it as a PDF. I'll bet people would grab it. :)

[@AnalogAudio1]

these are very basic settings. Every Minimoog user who understood how it works should be able to set them.

[@truckingscouser]

05:40 sped up Europe Endless(ish)

[@rinaldobaita1985]

Beautiful sounds... I wonder if the Behringer Model D can sound like that. It should, because it seems not just close, but identical to the original. The problem is that it should be tested by a good sound designer, I've had enough of basic sound waveform comparison...

[@AnalogAudio1]

It does not same identical, believe me

[@rinaldobaita1985]

I believe you, but... it would be great if you could show me... ; )

[@AnalogAudio1]

I don't own one, I would have to buy one to make a comparison video. If someone borrows me a Behringer, no problem

[@coldwar1977]

For the record, no two minimoogs sound identical

[@cybernaumemusic]

Why to compare, they are different synths.

[@galaxyclassvoyager]

Nice! But really, its time for an updated 'Uncommon Sounds' video!!

[@AnalogAudio1]

It will follow :-)

[@8BRInteractive]

Any chance you'll provide the settings for this video and the "Uncommon Sounds" one? Please? Pretty please? Pretty please with sugar and a cherry on top?

[@DavidBoura]

+1000

[@Maxat_Ospanov]

Some say that early moogs (1972 - 1978, with old osc boards) sound "warmer". Is it true? Which rev do you like best? (google translate)

[@AnalogAudio1]

Yes, that's true. I like the early ones best. This one in the video has the newer osc board. It's definitely more stable and perfect tracking, but it also sounds more "exact".

[@valmontnaudin5642]

Kraftwerk!

[@AnalogAudio1]

yeah, they used it a lot

[@nilespeterclemens8328]

My XL gets close to that pure tone but something is just different...

[@louis_bla]

What is the name of the typographie / font "Vintage minimoog" ?

[@MrArpSolina]

Comic Sans

[@louis_bla]

MrArpSolina The name of the police of Oxygène Jarre and Vintage minimoog on your video is Comic sans ms ?

[@reneotten2288]

+louisbla no, they are joking. It's not Comic Sans. Don't use Comic Sans for anything except designing leaflets for promoting activities for local retired citizens.

[@bit-map]

The font appears to be a variant of ITC Avant Garde

[@reneotten2288]

So do the new Moogs sound like this as well?

[@davidhrivnak]

Yes, the new Model D really does sound as good as this! It's the only synth reissue I know of that actually is the original in every important way.

[@reneotten2288]

+David Hrivnak thanks David... if I can play the Lucky Man solo on it I just have to buy it then hehe 😊

[@AnalogAudio1]

and then you will become the lucky man in person :-D

[@reneotten2288]

Yes, would be a childhood dream come true... when I heard that song for the first time I was so impressed by that solo. I started playing guitar a few years later though but am now diving into the analog synth world.

[@MacXpert74]

+Ineir Netto "if I can play the Lucky Man solo on it I just have to buy it then" It will do that great I'm sure. although that solo was originally done with a Moog modular :)

[@delux399]

Autobahn!

[@Amuh2004]

____SNAKE__THE__PROPLAYER____ Yeah!

[@sotirisnikolaidis4835]

what is the serial number?

[@AnalogAudio1]

12337 I think - it's one of the last 1000 units.

[@sotirisnikolaidis4835]

@@AnalogAudio1 perfect 👍🎹🙏🏻

[@scottlarson1548]

This is why back in 1983 I chose a used ARP Odyssey instead of a used Minimoog. I like the bass sounds but the rest is just too clean for me. When I played the Minimoog, everything sounded like Switched-on-Bach to me. With oscillator sync and the ring modulator I had no trouble making crazy sounds that I had never heard before with the Odyssey.

[@AnalogAudio1]

With a Minimoog you could make ring modulator-like effects as well, if you know how

[@snuppssynthchannel]

my father owns two! 👍

[@AnalogAudio1]

you have cool parents :-)

[@snuppssynthchannel]

He also own a oberheim matrix 12, how cool are my parents now huh? :P

[@AnalogAudio1]

wow! My father plays violin... :-)

[@snuppssynthchannel]

Lovely instrument. I am quite into classical so your father goes straight in to the cool book if it was up to me! 👍

[@AnalogAudio1]

:-)

[@adrienpeirac851]

Bass kraftwerk autobahn

[@Madison-ut6bz]

does the voyager not count?! anyway

[@RobertoGinsburg]

Not was ""1971""??? 🤔🤔

[@johnstaf]

The one in the video is from 1979. They're not all the same.

[@alexnewyorker6973]

today I bought used Moog same one like this 800$ is that ok?

[@synthesizerhome2041]

for you, yes! For the seller - no

[@alexnewyorker6973]

:)

[@BertGrink]

Holy Moly! On ebay, they often fetch ten times that amount, so you are a VERY lucky man, man! :D

[@alexnewyorker6973]

yeah I am feeling like :)

[@chieftp]

@@BertGrink they don't fetch ten times that on ebay. there are several on there for $3,000 with no bites. it's also unlikely anyone found one for $800. they haven't sold for that since the 90s.

[@ingoodmusic]

This or 770?

[@AnalogAudio1]

The Korg? It's in a different league

[@devicefactor2290]

ingoodmusic 770 is buzzy and raw. the minimoog is PHAATTTT and warm as Irish coffee

[@ingoodmusic]

))

[@devicefactor2290]

ingoodmusic but I have a 770 and it's certainly electric.
